Came here for my brother's birthday and I was pleasantly surprised. As you walk in and through the restaurant, you'll notice how clean it is and how friendly the staff is. You have two price options, one for lunch and one for dinner. Not bad considering the amount of food/seafood you get access to. Once seated, you will be given a menu to order specific sushi rolls other small bites if you don't want to venture to the buffet line or don't see what you want. Other than that, you start your journey through all the serving counters with all the food they have, and I can't list it all, but I concentrated on the crab legs (cold/hot), shrimp (cold/hot/fried) and various sushi rolls. The food was good quality, fresh and tasty. They also have a desert counter for some sweet treats. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Kumi and left with a full belly. I would come back just for the seafood selection.

we love this place -- top quality food and something for everyone! full sushi ans sashimi and handroll menu, hawaian ribs, kalbi, oysters 3 ways shrimp at least 5 ways probably more--, and lobster on saturday! also all your favorite chinese dishes, a 12 foot salad bar, an icecream bar, and a desert bar. the chocolate cake is great - they source from cheesecake factory! yumm, $30 dinner for these quality options is nothing!

One of the best buffets I've been to! I visited Kumi shortly after they opened during the week. It wasn't too packed yet and all of the food was fresh and hot! Everything I tried was honestly delicious. The staff were very attentive. The dining area is large and clean. Highly recommend when you craving a good buffet!

Excellent selection of high quality food items. Attentive servers and management staff. They come by regularly to check on you and make recommendations on food items found on the menu. Nice, clean, new decor.

Came here for lunch with friends after the gym. They open at 11am so I thought it would be perfect as it wouldn't be busy & everything would be freshly prepared & not picked over nor sitting under a burner or chilled station, drying out. I've only seen reviews & have always seen lots of vehicles on a Sunday which I imagine are post-church goers. I mentioned this AYCE spot to my friends so we finally got to try it out. We were seated in a booth & had a dedicated waitress in case we needed drinks, refills or ordering on the separate sushi menu. They have some sushi rolls & separate standard Nigiri sushi set out in the Sushi station such as Maguro & Salmon Nigiri. I took a walkthrough to check out the offerings first, then I selected certain items to put on my plate & small dishes. I was mindful of what I put so as not to overfill my plate. I chose items I don't usually make such as snow crab claws, Coconut Shrimp, Clams with slightly spicy Black Bean Sauce; Avocado-Eel Roll, California Roll, Shu Mai, Har Gow, cold Asparagus spears, Kim Chee & dipping sauces. That was Round 1. Round 2 was Hot & Sour Soup with extra wood-ear mushrooms & cilantro that I added from the Soup Station. The dim sum was fresh & not salty. The crab legs were fresh & cold but we were only given 2 crab crackers from our waitress. We had to share those 2 & sometimes the crackers wouldn't open the claws as the shells were soft. I added my own dipping sauce of lemon & soy sauce. I ended up some dishes my friends would choose so we shared different dishes--family style. The crab was fresh & I'll have to remember to bring disposal gloves afterwards as it was quite messy & sometimes slippery to hold. The Dim Sum was good & some of the desserts were good too. I scarfed on the deep fried Sesame Balls(Jian Doi). The asparagus had some yellowing on the base of the stalks so I picked out some spears that were the greenest. My friend ordered noodle soup with pork strips & a mango roll & Masago sushi. Another friend chose lots of desserts so she could review each one or let us try a little. I'm glad I have friends who have good appetites! There's a lot to choose from & I would've gotten salad, more sushi from the Sushi menu. At night, you can order certain Sashimi pieces so I'd like to try that vs. bulking up on just Sushi Rolls. Our waitress was attentive & attendants were always picking up used plates & refilling hot tea for one of my friends. I think it's a great AYCE deal for $19.99 M-F lunch.

Definitely one of the better buffet places in San Antonio. Massive selection of seafood. However, I have to say that the service for a restaurant like this is second to none. The staff go out of the way to ensure you have everything you need and regularly come around to remove finished plates. The ambiance is pretty mellow but the busyness of the place makes it somewhat loud. It's a bit pricier than some of the other buffet spots around town but for the selection, it's worth it.

Food *For buffet standards* I recommend Galbi 4/5 -flavorful, fresh, charry, savory and sweet Clam with vermicelli 4/5 Savory and soy saucy with a nice texture contast from vermicelli Sushi 3.5/5 -sushi rolls were alright. Wish it contained more fish. Ramen (chicken or pork broth option) 2.5/5 Pork was alright. Was comforting and tasted like congee with salty savory hints. For desert gotta have some CAKE! Overall it is worth it to go once but to be honest I would go somewhere else another time. Service 5/5 fast and all accomodations were satisfied. Ambiance Casual. Family friendly.

I'm not sure where to start exactly . . . So I guess I'll start from the parking lot. It's always packed! I always take that as a good sign at a buffet because it's a good indicator that the food will constantly be coming out fresh. The dining area is very clean and the restaurant itself is really big and can be overwhelming. They have a menu where you can order sushi rolls from and I would recommend that over getting them from the buffet. I don't know why they taste so different but they do. The buffet itself is decent. As in there are a whole lot of options and if you go to enough stations you will eventually find things that really stand out. They have hot and sour soup, wonton soup, pho station, ramen station, steak station, traditional Chinese dishes, Korean dishes, Japanese dishes, salad, dessert, everything! I was not super impressed with the hot and sour soup, the steak was "okay" and they do cook it to your liking BUT they are pretty lean so be careful what you ask for or you will be eating a piece of leather. I got mine medium since it's so thin and added steak sauce because it didn't have a lot of seasoning. As for the steamed buns, I can't say that I liked any of them. They were a bit dense and dry and didn't have enough meat inside. There were some Korean dishes that I really enjoyed and to be honest their frog legs were freaking ridiculous good! I wish I could just order a couple dozen fried frog legs to go! The dessert bar is massive but I didn't try anything, my son had a few different little cakes and he said they were okay but nothing over the top. The cakes are very small so it's perfect if you want to try a few different flavors. All in all it wasn't awful nor wonderful. But if you want to go and just have a massive feast of food that you don't have to cook then this is hands down a great deal for $30. Will I personally ever go there again, maybe not. If they start selling those frog legs separate of the buffet . . . Absolutely!!

We were so impressed by this place!! I read to come during the weekend since that's when they have the hot crab legs.. it did not disappoint! We got there right before the dinner rush, and I was a little worried the food wouldn't be able to catch up, but they just kept refilling more! It got busier when we got there but our server was incredibly kind and accommodating. The buffet area was set up very well -- you could still go around even when it was getting crowded. The place also felt so clean! Even the restroom was surprisingly tidy, it was easy to help my toddler use the restroom. The food was a lot! I don't think we got to try everything. I avoided the ramen bar so I wouldn't get full immediately but I can't wait to go back to try it. Highly recommend!
