The lowdown
The sheer assortment of offerings at a sushi restaurant — sashimi, nigiri, maki, etc. — can cause decision paralysis or an uneasy sense of roulette. Thankfully, Kumo’s menu does a great job of packaging specials and deals, like the dinner box — miso soup, a salad (house, avocado, or seaweed), and a selection of two meaty items (including pork gyoza and yakitori). Yes, it’s the kind of sushi place that has rolls that aren’t exactly Jiro-approved, but its all-you-can-eat deal is solid. Just keep in mind that the à la carte rolls aren’t included in the special.
