“ Weekday all-you-can-eat (water to drink) price is now $30.98 total with tax. Service is prompt and usually with a smile and kind greeting. Selection is pretty stellar. Would love a simple tuna with fresh jalapenos roll though. ”
“ This was a great experience with good all you can eat sushi at a great price. The food was all around great with tons of options and great special orders. The ambience was very comfortable and quiet. Service was pretty good, but the turn around on our food definitely slowed a lot for our second round of food. I recommend checking Kumos out if you like sushi. Everyone had a great time and I look forward to returning. ”
“ If you're looking for AYCE in Somerville, Kumo is the place to go. Their sashimi is actually decent quality for an AYCE. They fill their rolls with too much rice but that's every AYCE place. I actually prefer Kumo over Sushi Palace in Somerville because the quality of the sashimi and avocado is exponentially better. I've had some brown looking avocados at Sushi Palace. Also, the seating situation at Sushi Palace can feel so cluttered. The seats in Kumo are more spaced out and comfortable (especially by the booth) whereas in Sushi Palace the tables feel so close to one another. ”
“ The best AYCE sushi restaurant in the area...IF you do AYCE the way my husband and I do! Here's how we do AYCE sushi: We order as much sashimi as we want and order a bowl of sushi rice on the side to control our rice portions. We also load up on chicken katsu because it is AMAZING and always cooked to order and served crunchy here! But remember - only order what you can eat because they do charge extra for excess leftovers. I know Kumo is an AYCE sushi buffet, but we honestly come here for the AYCE sashimi and unlimited chicken katsu lol. My husband and I get at least 8 servings of the chicken katsu every time we come here because it's that good! If you go across the street to Sushi Yokohama, their chicken katsu is $16. If you're craving chicken katsu, you can order UNLIMITED portions of it here PLUS other appetizers and sushi for a little more than $30! That's an awesome deal. As for the sashimi, it's amazing. It always tastes fresh and it's cut thick. I usually get the eel, tuna, and salmon and order tobiko to mix into my sushi rice. Their seaweed salad is good too - order spicy mayo on the side and mix it in for more flavor! Staff is hit or miss here with efficiency, especially during lunch and dinner rush but overall average. It's kind of a bummer that they no longer have green tea ice cream because that's the only flavor ice cream I order at AYCE sushi places lol You can obviously find better sushi quality at a regular Japanese restaurant, but the sashimi and chicken katsu are the best here! ”
“ Fairly amazing that an all u can eat restaurant is also has made to order service. I was expecting to roll in (pun intended) and find a conveyer belt of items that had been prepared god knows when. Instead, I was delighted that everything was prepared fresh! Other all u can eat places would limit your choices to basic items, but we had access to all the premium rolls too! The Kamikaze roll was overwhelming for me with its tempura pieces and giant size. I was much more in the mood for refreshing rolls like the Jersey Girl and one that was wrapped in a green, cucumber paper? The winner for me was the sashimi. You have to try the "White Tuna" and the "Red Snapper". So fresh, so juicy, and so flavorful. Each fish has a unique personality that isn't really appreciated when it's cooked. Other standouts: spicy seaweed salad, stir fried noodles, and miso soup. To finish things off, go ahead and order all 3 of the ice creams. Again, for an all u can eat situation, I assumed these would be mediocre. I was wrong! The ice cream was creamy, super tasty, and was so premium. I've never liked matcha ice cream or any matcha flavored things but this ice cream was fantastic! The flavors were subtle. The service was excellent! Super fast and efficient. The food was filling up our table faster than we could eat it, and we were running out of room quick! Ambience: very chill. Muted blue lights, comfortable seating, and an oddly eclectic playlist featuring Rihanna's greatest hits...I loved it. ”
