Kumo
Had very good lunch today (5/7) at Kumo, rather new hibachi & sushi restaurant on Kristine Way, off 44. Small, very clean, minimalist, modern Japanese interior makes a good first impression. Late lunch (served until 3), so only 4 tables occupied. Seated immediately and order taken very quickly since it was nearly 3. Ordered hibachi shrimp. Drink and clear soup (surprise, it was actually hot, so often clear soup is luke warm) were promptly at the table and order taken. They had quite a large lunch menu including many sushi choices, hibachi choices, and a variety of Bento box dinners. Ordered hibachi shrimp which came with flavorful plump sushi type rice, grilled vegetables, and a generous portion of medium sized grilled shrimp. Polite and very attentive waitress. If I could suggest any improvement at all, I'd say serving the hibachi lunch on a warm plate would really help since it cools so quickly after it comes off the grill. The hibachi meals are prepared in the kitchen, not at communal grill tables, so those who are mainly interested in the "show" would probably be disappointed even though the food was excellent.
