8 Best Sushi Bars in Rochester

“Ended up here for late lunch, my kid ALWAYS wants to eat here after an endoscopy. We came here again yesterday and he had the Shoyu Ramen (his favorite) and Peach Boba tea with milk. Phenomenal! He let me try it and I became an instant fan. I love to replicate restaurant dishes at home, and I know I could not do that broth justice. The flavors are complex and subtle. I didn't care for the Boba (sort of floral?) but he loved it. The only ding I have is that it's hidden away. If he hadn't known it was there, there is no way I would have gone into that hole in the wall location. This place is far superior to its surroundings.“

“I drive an hour from Mankato to get sushi here because it’s genuinely that good.

Zero idea why some reviews say it’s bland, it’s literally some of the best sushi I’ve had. I’ve tried a lot of places. Like dude there’s literally banana sushi on there. There’s adventurous choices and safe options. We’ve went there 5 ish times, every time getting something new and almost everything has been extremely good.

The wait staff are genuinely phenomenal. Extremely nice and pleasant.

The atmosphere is very nice, I just wish there was more/better seating. I love that this place isn’t deep into Rochester. Definitely a secret spot.“

“Fantastic, fresh, delicious food! Outstanding service, spotless dining room. Kumo has become our favorite restaurant in town!“

“Working in Rochester, I found this little jewel of a restaurant. Had a Salmon Bowl. It was so good! Fresh and crunchy tasting.I would highly recommend it.“

“went here for the first time today! im so glad we came here. this was an incredible experience. our server was an absolute sweetheart and the sushi was absolutely premium quality. I got the all you can eat. had some shrimp and calamari tempura, Phoenix roll, new crazy roll, futa maki, and royal roll. the phoenix was a very strong start, a great first roll. the new crazy roll was my first time trying deep fried sushi, I had no idea what to expect but never could have expected what I got. it blew my mind. Futa Maki was a great roll to have after the crazy roll because the crazy roll is very bold and the futs maki was milder and simpler. a delicious high quality pallette cleanser and a great transition into the Royal Roll. which was my favorite one. the lobster sauce was sweet, the presentation was gorgeous. like everything else, the flavor was high quality and the roll was expertly crafted. I will be back. thank you. pictured here is my phoenix roll“

“Excellent installation catering to south Rochester.

Being on the south side, this is a great place for all commuters south of Rochester.

They have a full bar and , (new to me), an all you can eat sushi menu. Granted you won't have access to every roll they offer but it actually includes specialty rolls and even appetizers like everyone's favorite gyoza.

I found myself opting for the Hibachi menu, since it has a flavor profile worth exploring with a glass of Pinot Grigo.

Next time id like to explore the Terryaki menu profiles and wine pairing possibilities.

They have a few dining booths that appear to host parties of up to 6 and im sure they can host a larger party with arrangements made.“
