Ok, so we had lunch a couple of weeks ago at the new Kumo Japanese Steak House & Sushi Bar here in Sarasota and found it delightful. Last night we needed a late dinner and so stopped in about 9:35 --- 25 minutes to closing!
To say we were even more impressed would be an understatement. Again, the food was exceptional and the sashimi exquisitely fresh. The portions continue to be on the largish side and the service top notch. The only complaint about the service is that our waiter may have been too attentive... there were a couple of times where I almost had to ask him for some privacy.
Allison was not in the mood for sashimi and went with a hibachi steak and shrimp plate. This was amazing: a lot of food that was perfectly cooked and very artfully arranged, unlike a lot of Japanese steakhouses that would just "slop" it onto a plate. There was even a decorative orchid bloom for garnish. The miso soup was very tasty but could have stood to have a bit more tofu included in it.
We are both very impressed with this restaurant, and hope that the continue to grow the business so that they are here for a very long time!
Cheers!

I have been hearing good things about this spot. Thanks for sharing your info.
I listed this as Sarasota even though it is actually closer to Bradenton/Lakewood Ranch. It is on University Parkway, right off of I-75 at exit 213 which is north of Sarasota proper but still within Sarasota county.
Cheers!
