Special shout out to my friends josh honestly the face of the place and such a beautiful person in and out truly the best waiter. Wonderful place thanks josh!!! And ofc the rest of the team!
This one of our favorite sushi restaurants when we’re the area. This time we got the tempura vegetable roll and salmon tempura roll. Both were delicious but the salmon tempura roll is 10/10. Highly recommend. And they had some new import beers from Japan. The yuzu was refreshing and crisp.
There wasn't waiting time, but it was a little congested in lunch time on Friday. It shows that the restaurant is poplar. As it shows, a Tempra Soba I ordered is great. As same as Japanese one. Especially Tempra are awesome! There were some Japanese customers, I know they and me want to eat Japanese quality soba and we can take it here in affordable price. The board outside the entrance shows the "lunch special" but there wasn't it on a menu. (Tempra Soba $15.03)
Staff are very welcoming. Sushi is good as well. Lots of variety of rolls. Better than the AYCE sushi spots in the area. Have to mention Josh our server. He was great and provided great service to us. Thank you Josh!
If you're looking for delicious Japanese and Korean-fusion classics, fast and friendly service, and affordable prices, we highly recommend visiting Kumi! As native San Diegans and true foodies, we were impressed by how the owner revamped the space with a modern, cute aesthetic. The staff — including the young manager — are always attentive, welcoming, and on point. We love their rolls, appetizers (the best tempura — perfectly crispy and flaky!), and the Kalbi is absolutely fire. Great vibes all around. Highly recommend!
