This is my third time at Kumo Sukiyaki, and there’s always something new each time. The beef is still as delicious as ever — tender and flavorful. I also really enjoyed the chicken wings and the new soup base, which added a nice twist to the usual flavors. A solid place for hot pot & sukiyaki lovers.
Came here for AYCE sukiyaki since it is my husband favorite. Chelsea was our waitress and she was very attentive and friendly. Price is good for ayce weekend and lots of ingredient options. Dessert is also included with price and there is different tiers for ayce which is good for more options. Overall would come back and recommend.
Cece the waitress explained everything well. we ate the all you can eat for 55ish dollars per person broth for 14 ish dollars not a bad price, and the wagyu beef was so tender! I recommend the tomato soup base! Everything came out very quickly and everything tasted fresh! I would definitely go back again!!
Just had sukiyaki here with family today, and it was awesome! The place is super clean and cozy, perfect for hanging out with friends or a date night. The beef were super fresh, and was sliced perfectly and super tender, and there was a nice variety of veggies that made it all feel light and refreshing. The broth was amazing, just the right mix of sweet and savory. Chelsey is very friendly and thoughtful, btw. Left feeling totally satisfied!
I was pleasantly surprised by the service—though we did have to ask twice before finally getting our egg. The servers were super friendly, took time to explain things we didn’t understand, and even gave us recommendations. This is a great spot for all-you-can-eat Sukiyaki, though I didn’t realize there was a time limit until they gave us a last call after about 1 hour and 15 minutes. The menu isn’t huge, but it has enough variety to enjoy a solid two rounds. It is on the pricier side—make sure to read the first page of the menu! The soup base costs an extra 12, and I completely missed that, which left me a bit confused at the end. If you’ve never tried dipping cooked meat into raw egg, don’t be afraid—it was surprisingly good and made the meat really tender. The mochi ice cream was smaller than expected, but still tasty. Thanks a lot to server Chelicea, very nice of you
It was my first time at kumo (also my 1st time having sukiyaki!) The overall vibe was nice (although a bit smelly). Our server Chelsey was very kind and she served with an excellent customer service. The food price was also quite nice. My duck however, was not very happy with the eggs. But I told him that it's chicken eggs, not duck eggs so he was happy in the end.
I recently had a AYCE at Kumo Sukiyaki and it was an excellent experience. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. The quality of the meat was outstanding—fresh, tender, and full of flavor. Every bite of beef and pork practically melted in my mouth. I also tried their new seafood items, which were incredibly delicious. The shrimp and scallops were especially fresh and perfectly cooked. Overall, it was a satisfying and enjoyable dining experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves sukiyaki and fresh seafood.
Its been years, but Kumo is still one of my favorite restaurants in Richmond. Food is delicious, value is fantastic, and the taste is still as good as the day they opened. They have the new store in richmond, but i still prefer this location.
