Came back after more than ten years and the food is still very good. The A5 wagyu and the toro are excellent as was the sparkling sake. The katsu and udon are delicious and the tamari chocolate dessert with sesame ice cream was creative and tasty. Service was attentive, informative, and efficient. All in all, a mainstay in the Philly restaurant scene that you can't go wrong with.

Met my mom and brother at 6:30 for dinner on a Tuesday the week before Thanksgiving. Even though it was a weeknight I highly recommend having a reservation and get there early because parking takes a while. we had a really great server who was knowledgeable about the menu and gave us some tips. we ended up, ordering the spring rolls and steamed dumplings as an appetizer. and shrimp pad, Thai spicy chicken, stone pot and a sweet beef stone pot as our entrées. we were too full to get dessert. This is my fifth visit to Kooma in the last couple of years and it never disappoints.

This was our second visit to the Bryn Mawr restaurant. Our normal go-to has been the Berwyn location for many years. The Bryn Mawr restaurant is every bit as good as Berwyn and we recommend either. Haven’t tried the Royersford location yet but I’m sure it is every bit as good as it’s sister locations.
