" I stumbled across Sushi Kuma during a visit to Monterey, and it was a delightful pit stop. The vegetable rolls were tasty and satisfying, though not as authentic as I'd hoped. The staff were welcoming and attentive. I enjoyed the lively ambiance, though it was a bit loud at times. Overall, I am glad I stopped by. " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequented Sushi Kuma while visiting Monterey, and it's truly a hidden gem! The selection of vegan options was impressive, and my partner loved the spicy tuna rolls. Each staff member was welcoming, creating a friendly environment. While we had to wait a little for our orders during the busy dinner hour, the food was worth it. Their miso soup is a must-try!
