Kumo Japanese Restaurant
“While Kumo is infinitely better than supermarket sushi and the prepared stuff you get for lunch in Midtown, don't go expecting high-quality fish at their prices.”
“Their delivery man is speedy and kind, which is appreciated, no one wants a grump coming to their door!”
“I recommend their spicy tuna as it is hard to find a sushi place that gets the taste right.”

Eh this place is okay. I used seamless to order and definitely dont think I got my bang for the buck. The portions are small and the prices are big! Also, their packing and utensils and napkins, pretty much everything was lacking for delivery.
I won't be ordering from here again..learned my lesson!
Perhaps the third time would be the charm, but based on my first two experiences here it would be hard to muster another visit. After initially mistaking this Kumo for an old one (yelp.com/biz/kumo-restau…), I am still reeling from the lacklusterness of their sushi. Terrible would be another way to describe it, but I like to think it was just my bad luck.
I'm not completely turned off by Chinese run sushi spots (yelp.com/list/chino-sush…). After all, who doesn't love inexpensive sushi? The plus side is the portions are generous and the cuts are halfway decent. What could possibly go wrong? The fish. All of it.
I don't want to suggest that the sushi was old, but there was just something fishy (pun intended) about it. The texture of the salmon sashimi and even the tuna to some degree had a particular film about it and the taste doesn't evoke the freshness of a new catch. The same blandness was evident in most of the rolls I had (specifically, the salmon avocado, spicy tuna, dragon, and rainbow rolls), along with the aforementioned fishiness. I would also recommend staying away from the roe or creamy scallop nigiri. It was just plain bad.
I even got delivery for a group (party platter alert) and everyone was so disappointed that we ended up tossing most of it. I hate wasting food and called to let them know about the issue. They must've been busy because the woman who answered just asked for us to take it up with the online delivery service and not them. That was that.
Left with a choice, I'd recommend shooting for something cooked or perhaps with eel. The rest is a gamble that at this point I'm UNwilling to try.
There's nothing to complain about regarding the food and the prices are not ridiculous.
I came here with a large party and the majority of them ordered the all-you-can-eat-and-drink special. The waiters were inattentive and the food took forever (which is understandable since we had a large party). But the waiters didn't even try to cater to the fact that my friends had the all you can drink to compensate for the long wait. It was a Saturday night and the place was so busy, but there was only two waiters. Doesn't make sense!!
I've had the pleasure of eating takeout from here and eating inside and the food is always good. No complaints whatsoever.
