Kumiko offers an exceptional dining experience, with world-class service and exceptional cocktails. The restaurant remains a standout in the city, with attentive staff and outstanding food that make it a must-visit. The unique cocktails and exceptional culinary experience keep Kumiko a top choice for special occasions, despite some inconsistencies in service.
The cocktails at Kumiko are extraordinary, with the bartender providing a detailed breakdown of each drink's primary liquor and why it was chosen. Customers have enjoyed the Cloud Hopper, Unabridged, and the special Hotel Amami cocktails. The Japanese fried chicken bites and potato salad are also excellent when paired together.
While the service can be a bit slow at times, the quality of the food and cocktails meet expectations. The menu is extensive and can be intimidating, but the helpful staff provide recommendations. The cocktails are well-balanced and smooth, with some being batch-prepared. The food offerings, such as the karaage, potato salad, and the special washugyu tataki, are solid and worth ordering again.
Overall, Kumiko provides a unique and enjoyable dining experience, particularly for special occasions, despite some minor service and ambiance issues.
