Kokumi

Me encanta estes lugar para comer sopa

This review is strictly for the $12.99 Shabu deal and the atmosphere. While it is a great and enticing way to lure customers into an inexpensive option for hot pot the portion size is very small and need add-ons for one to become full. I am very unhappy with the outdoor seating. Came here on a Sunday evening and was overwhelmed by mosquitoes. On top of that they dim the lights for whatever reason and was hard to see if the meat was cooked. The actual restaurant was used entirely for kitchen. Restrooms were nowhere to be found. I’d still come back for their cheap shabu options but beware that deal is good for a light snack and not intended to keep you satisfied for long.

Great shabu place with a delicious variety of broths and appetizers. Their marinade in their Kokumi meat platter is really unique and a must try. Their Goma sauce is also one of the best I’ve had. This restaurant is all outdoor underneath a tent so the ambiance isn’t that of a fancy restaurant or date night place but it is a good casual dining place and they do keep it comfortable with heaters.

Used to be a crowded restaurant. 3 waiters wording right now. At least one of them is a new trainee that doesn't know what's going on. No problem for new staff, which I understand he's learning. The sweet shrimp sushi was worse than mediocre. The popular Kokumi tofu was missing. I'm not sure if they have a new owner or not, but this place is going downhill for sure.

Hot pot is the main attraction. Outside seating for some might be a detractor but heat lamps and hot pot make it bearable. Beer on menu and sake cold sake at that. Choice your choice of meat and broth and enjoy. Price is not cheap but not super expensive my tab for me and my girl was about 130. Check em out I did.

My favorite place for shabu shabu. Why the 4 stars? Inflation is a monster and they no longer offer unlimited veggies and the bowl has gotten smaller and smaller. I usually do the share which is $12 more, but it’s 16$ now. I usually walk out with a 55$ bill. I’m looking at $70 now, give or take. The food is excellent and I will still keep coming, but I really hope unlimited veggies come back. I loved having extra greens :)

Love this place! I drive far to eat here because it's so worth it. Definitely a top favorite.

Used to come here before Covid and was pretty awesome all around. Stopped coming because service went down hill and there were so many other Shabu options around to try. Fast forward a few years and wanted to give them another try. They are exclusively outside dining now. Good for us since we have a pup. Meat quality was good, not great. Sauces were also good, but have had some better Goma sauces at other establishments. My gf didn’t love her spicy miso (a little watery) but I enjoyed my fire crab broth. Probably because I was getting tired of the typical miso, tomato and konbu you get everywhere else. They also have Tom Yum, kimchee and a few other options so the variety was a pleasant surprise. I though the price was pretty reasonable as well. Service was decent, but you do have to flag people down for extra sauce and water. Last but not least, we noticed they had the other garnishes like green onion and garlic at their base station, but didn’t offer it unless you asked. Same with the spice drops. I asked for some and they wouldn’t let me serve myself which was a little annoying. We will be back because of the outdoor seating/pet friendly and broth variety. Service was good enough and we have a little experience under our belt for next time.
