| - I HAVE NO CLUE WHY PEOPLE GAVE THIS PLACE A BAD REVIEW! Normally I'm the type that I won't eat at a place that has bad reviews but I really didn't feel like leaving the hotel since it was really windy and cold for this Hawaii girl, but I decided to give this place a chance. Unlike the casino at Mandalay Bay, Kumi is totally worth the gamble! Since I live in Hawaii, I'm pretty spoiled when it comes to sushi. I usually don't eat sushi in the mainland but this sushi was some of the best sushi I've ever had in the mainland period! My waiter James was excellent! He was very helpful with his recommendations and I couldn't ask for better customer service. The food is on the pricey end but the quality of the food makes it worth it. Why in the world would people eat here if they are not ok with the prices? They let you look at the menu before sitting at a table. The prices are also online too. We ordered two cucumber salad, crispy calamari, rainbow roll, hot mess roll, and a sashimi plate. All but the cucumber salad was excellent! My personal favorite is the hot mess roll that our waiter James recommended. I was happy that my mom was able to try some poke too since she still hasn't been to Hawaii yet. The DJ they had that night was awesome too. I know it's weird to see a DJ at a Japanese restaurant, but he was great! I enjoyed all the music he was playing. This is a great place to eat if you don't feel like leaving the hotel and you want to treat yourself to some sushi. It's on the pricey side but the quality of the fish is excellent. Although i had an awesome experience here, I personally wouldn't come back again since they really didn't have a lot of options on their menu. It's a great place to try once.
Summary:
Although a bit on the pricey side, Kumi's sushi does anything but lack on quality. Their service is excellent and our food was outstanding! This is a great place to treat yourself to some sushi if you don't feel like leaving the hotel. Although I had a 5 star experience, I felt that the menu was lacking on options. There's a lot of sashimi options but the menu needs more sushi roll options. It would be nice to have more non sushi entrees as well if you have someone in your party that doesn't like sushi. Unless they change the menu and have more options available, it's a try once kind of place.
Pros:
Excellent food
Sushi quality was outstanding!
Top Notch Customer Service from James. Thank you James for an excellent night :)
Cons:
Lack of menu. It's a eat once kind of place. I feel like after I ate here once, I won't come back since there isn't that many options. If there was a particular sashimi that I wanted, I would ask where rolls it's a little different. I had to ask if I could get a rainbow roll because it wasn't even listen on the menu. I feel like that is one of the easiest and most basic rolls that EVERY sushi place has on the menu
