Really a poor experience when you consider the cost. Then the service was “ ok” but felt like it was a get them some food and get them out experience. Should have gone to Nobu!

Perfectly marbled and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend getting the salt on the side so you can add a few grains per bite. The bluefin tuna pizza was also very fresh and delicious. The tuna was sliced thin and lightly sauced. Their rolls are always perfectly rolled and presented. The King Crab California and Rainbow rolls were our picks this time around, and they didn't disappoint. It's always a little pricey, but it's Vegas, and it's worth it for the experience. I highly recommend it as a "must visit" when you're in Vegas.

It’s one of their signature dishes and should be. The sea bass was also good. The sashimi was also well received by one of our party as well. The rest of the food was just all right but was very expensive. Their wine collection was very limited. We felt like the server had somewhere else to be, it was very odd in the beginning, she’d take one drink order then scoot off to do something else, then come back for another and the scoot off again. All in all I felt that the food was just all right but very expensive and the service could have been better.

We ordered five dishes and they all came out at once, even before we got our drinks. In fact the drinks didn’t come until we were almost finished with the initial dishes. We ordered a few more items which then came out all together after we asked them to space it out. The fish didn’t taste fresh, we had a stomach ache and terrible tastes in our mouths from the bad fish. We told the waitress when she finally came around how we felt and she did take off two items from the bill which was still over $300. I will NEVER go back to KUMI. Bad service, bad food.
