We have been big fans of Kumo in Venice, FL since we found it back in September. Recently they opened a new location in Sarasota which is right down the street from us. We are very excited!
Today we stopped in for lunch. They have now been open about two weeks so we figured that the settling-in period should be over. We were right! This was every bit as good, and perhaps even better, than the Venice location.
We sat at the sushi bar and ordered from the lunch menu. A wide range of bento box lunches, sushi plates and habachi dishes were available.
We both went with a two roll combo which includes two sushi rolls along with a salad and miso soup. There are 3 different levels of this special - $7.95, $9.95 and $12.95. Within each level there are a variety of rolls available for you to pick the 2 that you want. I went with the mid level and had a salmon and avocado roll along with a spicy tuna roll, while Allison went with the 3rd level and had a volcano roll and a rock n' roll roll (basically shrimp tempura roll with extras). In addition, I ordered a ikura (salmon roe), maguro (tuna) and sake (salmon) sashimi. Everything was extremely fresh and quite tasty!
The other thing that we really appreciated here was the attentiveness of the staff. As we noted before, the Venice location did not excel in this regard.
We will certainly be frequenting this one a lot!
Cheers!
