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.“

“My favorite sushi place in Rochester! Always consistently delicious. Just wish they had more specialty roll options and that ordering takeout didn’t take almost an hour as we typically do takeout. Inside is also really nice and great ambiance! A plus for takeout is that they have a drive through window on the side, so during the winter months this is awesome! The fried rice is also delicious.“

“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.“

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

“Amazing food and service!!!“

“Pretty good sushi here. Sashimi is usually sliced somewhat thick which I like but it kind of depends on the day (or the chef). Our family’s usual is Age Tofu, Edamame, for both the kids, chicken fried rice - no onions for the 4 year old, Alaska Roll our SAKE sashimi for the 8 yr old, sashimi platter for me (need to ask for sushi rice for an up charge , otherwise it comes with jasmine rice - weird), yellow tail and kappa maki for my wife. They pretty much know what we will get every time as soon as they seat us. The service is usually pretty good and attentive.

I would probably not do the all you can eat. They let you order 3 items at a time and you're not allowed to order again until you are done with those. The first order took about 20 minutes to arrive on a Tuesday night at 6:30pm. My son was the only one doing the all you can eat because, you know, he's 15, and it became an all you can wait situation. He said he didn't want to wait for another order and skipped desert too because of the wait.“

“Food is amazing with great presentation! Will definitely return here.“

“We’ve been here many times and we always enjoyed the food. They have many vegetarian dishes and the desserts are delicious. The restaurant is also in a great location but a little difficult to find a parking spot though. The team is also nice and friendly. Have plenty of dishes to try … just keep in mind some soups are big enough for sharing. You may want to try the sticky rice Mango!“
