Haven't tried Chef Akira since Yellowtail so when I got the invite to dinner to try Kumi, it wasn't a no brainer to say YES!! I love Yellowtail and was delighted to try the new menu offered at Kumi in Mandalay Bay, in what used to be China Grill back in the day.
We started with the Tuna Pizza with truffle oil ( all ready my new favorite tuna dish on the Strip ) thinly sliced tuna over a crispy tortilla drizzled with truffle oil. The albacore with crispy garlic and salmon with yuzu was really nice as well. Black cod with shishito peppers !!!! The rolls were all really yummy too! Try the ones with pop rocks in it!! For dessert we had the assorted mochis of guava, lychee, and chocolate flavors!
Michael our server was extremely kind and had the bartender make a nice virgin mocktail from the bar since I am unable to enjoy the real stuff! The whole staff, from the hostesses to the management were very kind in checking in on us and saying good bye to us on the way out.
