I try their signature roll with rice paper (items like that are marked with a star). I was not impressed: basically Sriracha with mayo on top of poke which barely had salmon (if any). I cannot taste food or the quality of fish if it’s too spicy. If you like a kick, go for it. The same goes for tuna tacos: They were delicious if you had tolerance for spices (there should be some slaw in them). New York steak was okay: it’s not A5 – remember, but not the best for the price. I also tried a side of eggplants: honestly, I liked it because it was cooked through and slightly grilled, covered with mozzarella with touch of miso – which gave it a eunique taste I’ve never thought of (They are eggplants-eggplants so if you’re not into it, don’t order it).
The best item on the menu was the cucumber salad! Nothing simpler than fresh baby cucumber in rice vinegar, sprinkled with sesame seeds. It is a must! So refreshing that it helped me to get over the other items I tried that were too hot.
I always check if a restaurant has fatty tuna, and this one had: both belly and head cut (claimed to be the best).
I will not come back, maybe only for the cucumber salad 🙂
If you’re craving an upscale escape from the Vegas hustle, Kumi Japanese Restaurant + Bar at Mandalay Bay is your spot. Tucked into the vibrant Restaurant Row, the sleek, modern vibe—think dim lighting, plush booths, and a buzzing lounge—feels like a stylish Tokyo hideaway right on the Strip. We snagged a table on a Friday night without a reservation (pro tip: book ahead for peak hours), and the energy was electric without being overwhelming.
We kicked things off with the Namikaze roll, and oh man, what a showstopper. This beauty packs a punch with its crispy tempura exterior, spicy tuna core, and a drizzle of sriracha aioli that ties it all together in fiery harmony. The fresh, melt-in-your-mouth fish was the star—zero fishy aftertaste, just pure umami bliss. It was generous too, easily split between two with a few bites left over.
For mains, the New York strip steak stole the show. Seared to perfection with that gorgeous caramelized crust, it was juicy and tender, paired beautifully with the creamy mashed potatoes that had just the right hint of garlic and buttery smoothness. We subbed in some yuzu mushrooms on the side (a menu must-try), which added a zesty, earthy pop that elevated the whole plate. It’s not your standard sushi joint fare, but Kumi nails the fusion game here—Japanese precision meets steakhouse indulgence.
We couldn’t resist rounding out the meal with their tacos, and these weren’t your corner truck versions. Think delicate wonton shells stuffed with seared ahi tuna, avocado, and a kick of ponzu-lime crema. Light, fresh, and dangerously addictive—three vanished in minutes, leaving us plotting a return trip just for these.
Service was on point: our server, Alex, was knowledgeable without hovering, guiding us through pairings (the house sake was spot-on) and timing everything flawlessly. Portions are shareable but satisfying, and the bill came in reasonable for Vegas—around $150 for two with drinks, no regrets.
Kumi isn’t just dinner; it’s an experience that blends bold flavors and cool ambiance seamlessly. Five stars— we’ll be back for that Kumikaze sequel roll soon! If you’re at Mandalay Bay, skip the buffets and head here. You won’t be disappointed.
