Kumo Asian Restaurant

This review will be two parts. First, the 'all you can eat' trap, and second, the food quality. Any time I hear "all you can eat", my scam alarm goes off. Despite this, my friend dragged me here. Immediately, I realized the 'catch' with the ordering system. You pay a flat fee, and are able to order from a limited menu of appetizers/sushi/entrees - the catch is that you are charged EXTRA for any dish you don't completely finish. We ate everything we ordered, so this was not an issue, but it is DEFINITELY not clearly advertised beyond a vague 'please do not waste food' message on the menu. Furthermore, a la 'olive garden', your orders are deliberately slowed down in an attempt to reduce ordering. They even tried getting us to stop by placing the receipt on the table. Nice try. The portion sizes for some dishes are also HILARIOUSLY small. This is definitely a trap for the unfamiliar. We recognized it and planned our meal accordingly, thereby avoiding being 'had' by the trap- but it is there, and you should be aware. After tip and tax, it will be at least $40, so bear that in mind while ordering. The food quality varied by dish. The sushi roll was acceptable, and all the appetizers we tried were alright. That said, the hibachi dishes (beef/chicken) were hilariously small (both the size of the chunks, AND the plate size) - of course you can order as many as you want- I would recommend ordering one first to see how measly it is, and then ordering 4 or 5 to get an actual hibachi sized dish.

We bumped into this place by accident when we were on a way to sushi palace which we frequently visited. But it was worth exploring! This sushi buffet is priced right, has plenty of food, polite staff and bring you own bottle option! It’s not as crowded as sushi palace, so you are more likely to find a bigger table if you bring a large party.

Loved this place! I eat vegan/vegetarian and had no problem here. There was a little food leftover but they weren’t fussy about it. My first time at a mandarin style restaurant. I went with my cousins and their friends (on Christmas day eek) they said one of the sushi with meat/fish went bad but i wouldnt know.

I was skeptical to go here because of the previous reviews but I'm glad I did. I am a vegetarian and had the sweet potato rolls and the avocado and cucumber rolls, the edamame and the Thai spring rolls. It was delicious, some of the best sushi I've ever eaten. The waitress was attentive and not pushy or hovering at all. The person I went with had sushi with fish and he said it was great as well.

Few times in this place in Somerville NJ. The restaurant is clean and spacious. Staff very friendly and courteous. The sushi and sashimi delicious!!! Price for all you can eat is very good. Recommended and for sure I’ll be back here.
