Best sushi I’ve had in probably 3 years. I can’t remember where it was better so it might have been further in the past. Well, you know you’re in California when you ask Julia at the ace hardware where the best restaurant is, and she recommends a sushi spot on a side street. I had the special, roll and a bowl. The crunchy eel and the beef ramen more than filled my tank. If you get the chance, this place is a bright spot to experience. The waitress and chef were super friendly and the outdoor patio was decorated artistically. It had enough quirkiness to be considered modern art. Los Osos is a great little town meaning the bears and Kuma is Japanese for bear. Very Californian indeed. Enjoy!

Food was overpriced for mediocre ramen. Handrolls were fresh but not really worth $12. We were overcharged and not offered the happy hour prices.

Food is exceptional. No question, delicious… when they get it correct. Serivce is slow and disorganized. Come for the roll and bowl special, otherwise the bill will be three figures. We’ll be back… and our food will too after we’ve had to send it back again.

Spicy vegan ramen with chicken was amazing. So much flavor and good level of spice.

The young lady who was at the counter was great. She was helpful with the menu descriptions and very knowledgeable. She was also the waitress and was bussing tables. Food was good as usual. (I’m a local) I would whole heartedly recommend this place. … just don’t be in a hurry, and enjoy the atmosphere! The ramen is my favorite of local options, and the rolls are bomb too. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Tip and be kind to the staff, they are all good people! I will continue to be a patron!

High prices for sub-standard food quality. $21 roll with $3 worth of ingredients in the roll. Sushi chef with minimum skills. Barebones crew can hardly keep up.

This place is delicious! They have a vast and varied menu, complete with vegetarian and vegan options. Every time I have come here, the service is quick and polite. In particular, a tall curly haired gentleman made our experience(s) here really wonderful. We love this place!
