I expected Japanese ramen in a Japanese restaurant, but I got Korean ramen, which was instant noodles. I think they even made it directly from Shin Ramen, because they tasted the same.
Udon noodles are too soft, and soup is flavorless.

Kumi ko is a Japanese restaurant in San Luis Obispo across from the Damon Garcia sports field. I ordered the spicy ramen bowl and the broth had a slow-building heat with good flavor. We came for my brother’s birthday and the staff actually made it feel like a celebration. They brought a complimentary dessert with a sparkler candle and the whole place joined in to sing. The service moved quickly without feeling rushed, and everyone was attentive without hovering. The food felt thoughtfully made and the atmosphere worked just as well for a special occasion as it would for a simple dinner. It stands out as some of the best Japanese food and sushi in SLO.

So good. I am a huge fan of stuffed mushrooms but never thought that I would find the best in a Japanese restaurant!

I wasn't able to try their sushi, which I do know is what they are known for, so my review may be a bit biased. I ordered their undon noodle soup with chicken, mixed veggies, and mixed tempura on the side. Their tempura was pretty good. It was crispy and not oily! My favorite one was the pumpkin! Their borth on the other hand was not as good. There wasn't enough flavor. It felt like an under seasoned chicken broth soup (I think I tasted more of the cabbage than anything else). Also, my friend had the spicy ramen, and she said it felt like she was eating the packaged Shin ramen. We did also share the crab cucumber salad, which was good. The cucumber was very pickaly and the crab was just immitation, but the size was good! The service was also amazing! Our waiter was incredibly nice and understanding.
