About Kume

Kume restaurant offers a lively hibachi experience, perfect for celebrating special occasions. The dining room ambiance might be a bit dark, but recent renovations have improved seating, making it more comfortable than before. The fresh fish and great service continue to impress, with many diners specifically enjoying the sushi, particularly the special Green Jade roll. Kume is kid-friendly, providing chopstick trainers and a little stuffed chicken toy for young diners. While the food quality varies, some find the hibachi meals, including tough filet and undercooked rice, to be mediocre, others have had excellent experiences. The flaming lime shot remains a standout. The restaurant has a cleaner environment, as all liquor bottles are covered, which some guests appreciate. The takeout orders resemble those from regular Chinese restaurants, but the inviting atmosphere makes diners feel like they are sitting in Japan. Although the sticky floors can be off-putting for some, the buzzing atmosphere is enjoyable. Overall, the attentive staff and enjoyable hibachi shows contribute to a memorable dining experience, even if the chef's flair varies. Whether it is the chicken and steak combo with fried rice or the delightful sushi, everything is fresh and flavorful.
