Kuma San Japanese Restaurant

Ordered Kuma San for takeout last night. Picked up the sushi and when I got home I was very disappointed with the nigiri. The tuna nigiri looked extremely suspicious and old, I did not take my chance eating it. Super unfortunate. The sushi rolls were ok.

Just felt like updating the original review. Nearly two years later of consistent ordering for take out/dining in, this place never disappoints. It absolutely became a non-negotiable staple sushi spot in the area. Their menu has fantastic diversity to choose from - excellent, super fresh sushi, ramen, donburi, tons of vegetarian options and lovely desert options to top it off. Also, BYOB, which is a huge plus. Would like to specifically highlight a newly added omakase option. Just heads up, reservation is required. My personal tip, prepare yourself and come very hungry, as you can expect a large selection. Your palate and the belly will be satisfied for sure. Also, wanted to note, that this service will also make you feel very special - they would temporary close the place, as chef will be treating you with fantastic cuts for the entire hour. It definitely felt very exclusive and special, worth the try. Looking forward to doing it again!!! Great job, Kuma San!!

Really cute decor. Lovely staff. I love the set up. The tables are ground level which I’m assuming it’s to give a traditional Japanese feel. I am giving the food a 4 star only because I didn’t order food, I got the matcha cheese cake. I’m not a fan of the cheese cake but the food might be good. I can barely taste the matcha. It hardly has flavor throughout the entire cake. It tastes almost like regular cheesecake. $6 seems too high for some plain cheese cake.

Ordered online for pickup, hours clearly displayed through maps. I paid for the food with a card, order instructions were that the order would be ready for pickup at 6:22 pm. Went to pickup order and they were completely closed. Called, no answer, checked address, in the right place. No food, no answer, and they charged my card. Not sure where the mess up was but will not return.

My go-to sushi place on Clark! The food is fantastic, and the service is impeccable as well. Highly recommend!

I ordered takeout from here because I wanted veggie rolls, and many restaurants around me do not have a variety of veggie options. The sweet potato and normal veggie rolls here were delicious, and they came in really cute packaging!!

This is one of my new favorite neighborhood restaurants! The selection is great, everything I've had there is delicious, and the service and atmosphere are wonderful. Highly recommended!

My to go place for the past year. Love it! Always fresh and delicious! The best price vs quality ratio in the area.
