The service was great. This might be the dirtiest place in ill repair i have ever seen. It is gross. Dirty glass, dirty plate, dirty windows, just nasty.

Diner Review №2

Daniel is amazing!

Diner Review №3

Ordered spicy shrimp noodle. Complete rip off for $30 this is all there was. Unreal. Really disappointed.

Diner Review №5

When Kuma is good, it's very good. When it's bad, it's dangerous. During my last visit, I ordered a draft beer. The brand I wanted wasn't available on tap. So the waitress brought me the same brand in an opened bottle. I don't like bottled beer and didn't order it, but she meant well. She said the glass had been chilled, and I accepted it. In fact, the beer was warm, and the glass was filthy. It was actually sticky on the outside. That sounds like a could-happen-anywhere mistake, but Kooma is, among other things, a sushi bar. Hygienic lapses could kill somebody. At its best, the place serves tasty food, but no meal is worth risking a food-borne illness -- or even a flu contracted from an unwashed glass. Stay away. I know I will.

Excellent sushi, great service.

Diner Review №7

So love the food, and drinks, Bar area is excellent. Ate in the ‘back room’ tonight. With just a bit of paint and decor the ambiance could have been so much better. The walls are damaged and it makes the place look run down. Otherwise great meal.

Diner Review №8

Poor service. Unorganized. Sticky tables. Dirty glasses. Go somewhere else

Lychee martini was delicious. Daniel the bartender was speedy and fabulous. Spicy tuna was super fresh and delicious!

Diner Review №11

Have been going to Kooma since 2007 … sadly the food is not as good :( went for take out Tuesday and the rice was greasy zero flavor and the California roll was bland please work on this !

Diner Review №12

Great food, the service was a bit slow.

Diner Review №13

Not impressed. The table was sticky & bathrooms not clean. The waitress was new & didn't know what everything was. But she did try. I ordered shrimp undon & saw no shrimp except for the tempora. Not even sure where that fit. It was 1 shrimp & 3 veggies. No dipping sauce until it was too cold to bother. The rest of the food was passable but I would not recommend it.

Diner Review №15

Our server, Connor, was delightful. Our food was amazing. The environment didn't give the date night vibe we were looking for but it didn't take away too much. We had spicy tuna rolls, spicy salmon rolls, chicken hibachi and spicy chicken bimbibap. The bimbibap was sooooo good. The drinks were tasty and strong. They gave us a special anniversary treat and it was so decadent. While we were looking for a dark, romantic, cozy place to have a romantic dinner, I think this gave us the closeness we really wanted. I would go back here again.

Diner Review №16

Food was “ok”, nothing to write home about. Service was AWFUL. The hostess took our order because we never received a waiter. Once we did get a waiter, they did not check on our table once to even check in, I went to the bar to get myself drinks.

This place use to be good and provide good service…. what a shame, go elsewhere this place sucks.

Diner Review №18

do not order the bim bam bop if you’re hungry. they gave straight veggies and rationed the meat. last time i checked there wasn’t meat a shortage so im not sure what the problem is. i’m also not a vegetarian so im confused why im eating straight veggies. okay no problem then when you finally dig through all the vegetables you’re surprised with a bowl of BURNT rice. i was sitting there damn near breaking teeth trying to eat the rice. im eating rice or chips!?! rock shrimp was good tho server was nice

Diner Review №19

Overall, I really enjoyed this restaurant and the service. My sister and I are both vegan, which can make ordering difficult at times. Unfortunately there is quite a lot of fish sauce in many of the dishes, but our server (Michael) was incredibly helpful. He went above and beyond to make sure that all of our food was vegan and fish sauce free. We had to change up our order a bit, and it honestly turned out amazing! The spicy kooma dish was very tasty, as was the mushroom soup. Would recommend! :)

Diner Review №20

The food was great however the service and management was awful. The server made a simple mistake that could’ve been rectified easily. We ordered sashimi which comes in either 1 piece sushi style or 2 piece sashimi style. We asked for 2 pieces for 3 different types of sashimi. We were given 4 of each. We immediately told her and she said she would talk to the manager. She came back and asked us if we would like for her to take the plate back to the kitchen and return the extra pieces and give us the rest back. We told her to return everything as that is just gross and our immediate thought was how many other costumers eat food that already touched someone else’s table??? Worst part is we just got another round of drinks and still had sushi rolls to eat and she dropped off our check. She overcharged us for her mistake as it was said “do not make” and I had to approach the manager myself. Not once did he come to our table or try to rectify an easy problem. I would never recommend this place. Poor service and terrible/lazy management. Again this is not a cheap place and service should be held at a higher standard if we are charged these prices.

Amazing place, it is a fav place for my daughters to eat

Diner Review №23

We ordered. Teriyaki Ribeye. Not a cheap dish. It was clearly on the receipt. They sent Salmon. Then we asked for redelivery. They sent the meat with no sauce on it. This is the first negative review of anything I can remember posting but this was a special night for us and one of us sat with no dinner for the majority of it and is now eating an under seasoned dinner.

Diner Review №24

Have loved Kooma since its first location in West Chester. Was very disappointed with the new menu. My favorite Asian Pear Martini taken off the menu along with other cocktails I enjoyed. No more spicy scallop roll, even though kept the hand roll. Maybe West Chester liked the Flagship Kooma the way it was!! Only bright spot last night was the bartender who is always fabulous and attentive despite the bogus new drinks!

Diner Review №25

My first time to Kooma. We had a reservation and got right in on our designated time. Hostess was polite and seated us. Server was polite. However, didn't know the food menu very well. The restaurant was failry clean. This is not a place for a quiet meal, it is very loud and the lights and color scheme give a njght club vibe. The drink menu is very extensive, many martini options (around $13-15). The short rib appatizer were so good. Edamame appitizer was also very good. We had a part of 6, our drinks and appatizers came out quickly (under 15 minutes). When ordering dinner we asked the server about specific menu items, and he did not know the ingredients of certain dishes. Our meals came 45 minutes after ordering them (the place was busy but not packed. Our meals were warm (meals that were meant to be warm). The sushi was good, not the greatest, but still very good. Our server only came once after we got our meals, and we had to ask for more water. The bathroom was clean with an exception of 1st stall being clogged.

Diner Review №30

Austin was amazing tonight

Diner Review №31

Great sushi! Staff is friendly. Good atmosphere.

Diner Review №32

Food is great, and the bartenders are great. Unfortunately the Hostess are terrible and rude. We showed up at 7:45 and requested to sit outside. There was nobody sitting outside and all tables were open and they told us it was gonna be a 15 minutes wait. At 8:03 we walked back in to ask about the table and they told us to wait five more minutes after waiting 20 minutes outside they told us that the outside Seating closed at 8 o’clock. When we asked if we could sit inside They told us it would be another 20 minute wait. The two young girls do not know what they’re doing nor respect peoples time. Ended up going to Lemoncello’s where they were able to accommodate us immediately.

Second time and amazing Hawaiian Roll

Diner Review №34

Hello everyone. Today we visited Kooma in West Chester. The senter of the city is clean old and nice to have i great walk here. And you can stop by Kooma to eat some good food. I have seen some bad comments, but i would not say any bad. Good food, good drinks, not the best but still good service. Just regular sushi place. I would come here again. Recommended to everyone who wants to eat some Asian food
Peace!

Diner Review №36

Place is hot. Water was warm asked for ice took 15 mins for that. Slow service waited 45 mins for food. Stuff on new menu not available
Should not put on menu till you can serve it
Eat somewhere else. Hot food was cold

Diner Review №37

Food and service were fantastic. Will definitely come here again!

Diner Review №38

I am not one to leave reviews (this is actually my first ever). I’ve been to Kooma multiple times and have always had great experiences. Today, I ordered the sushi deluxe dinner through a food delivery marketplace and encountered multiple bones within the sushi. I have never experienced this issue before and is certainly cause for concern when considering Kooma again.

Long waiting for place an order

Diner Review №41

Delicious dinner at Kooma tonight… We tried as much as we could. We sat outside and it was a beautiful evening.

Started with spring rolls, shumia, and yellowtail snapper sashimi. All of it so tasty. The spring rolls are especially yummy. The dumplings were so soft and light but full of flavor with a broth that’s so good it’s almost addictive.

Next we ordered the rock shrimp and sweet potato roll. Such surprising flavor with the sweet potato, it’s almost like a desert roll. The rock shrimp packed an awesome punch of flavor also.

Erin ordered the OMG roll and I had a special combination of hibachi that the chef approved for an up charge - steak, lobster, and shrimp. Minus a point for not having yum yum sauce but the sauce they have is savory and added to the flavor profile.

By this time we were obviously stuffed to the brim. However, seeing as I had never tried mochi, we clearly had to get it. Glutton for punishment you know… Not my thing but still tasty. I ordered vanilla which is a safe flavor for me personally.

Our server was giving 20 year old Paul Walker and it was his first night. Shout out Connor. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

Diner Review №42

The food was delicious.

Diner Review №43

I had an absolutely delightful experience at Kooma ! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was inviting and cozy. The staff & Manager were incredibly attentive and friendly. Every 5 to 10 mins the manager would check in with us to see how everything was & that’s a plus !
Now, let's talk about the food – wow! Each dish was a masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. I particularly loved the sweet ribeye it was a true culinary delight. Ihighly recommend this restaurant. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu!

Diner Review №50

Kooma is my absolute favorite place to get sushi strictly bc they have good sushi. Their service is absolutely terrible. Their managers and some, not all of their staff is incredibly lazy. I ordered a pickup order on DoorDash and waiting about 10 minutes in my car for them to tell me my order was finished. I ended up walking inside and my order was finished sittin on the counter top just not packed or anything. The last time i ate at the bar in the restaurant I was held there for an extra 2.5 hours due to the fact the staff could not get our receipts to close. No manager came over to us, no one offered to comp our bill, nothing. The food is delicious but everyone I go to eat there I always have a bad experience

Diner Review №51

Diner Review №52

Very attractive layout. The food is okay... I am sure they substituted something other than the Greygoose I requested in the mixed drinks, which yielded bad results.

Diner Review №53

We enjoyed the sushi and sizzling hot pots!

Diner Review №54

The food is always delicious here. Highly recommend for all sushi fans.

Diner Review №55

Brendan checked all the boxes as a server. He was great. The lychee martini was amazing. Food was good.

Diner Review №56

My gf and I just sat in a dead dining hall for 30 minutes. After being seated as we watched as 3 servers blatantly ignored us and never took our order. They took other tables orders and straight up acted like I did not exist when I directly asked politely for someone to come and take our order. We finally just decided to walk out and go to tsunami.
Honestly I’m floored I’ve never been flat ignored at a restaurant. It felt like we were in a twilight zone episode or something. This was our 1st anniversary dinner to celebrate our first date there. This was going to a tradition but we’ll never be coming back now.

Diner Review №57

Kooma, what happened to you? I've been to Kooma numerous times in the past and never had any major issues with it. Today was awful and I don't think I'll be returning. I'll start with positives, the babimbop was decent and they have a wide selection of food and drinks. The negatives are significant. The rest of our food was subpar, seafood was tough and rubbery, ceviche lacked flavor. Appetizers were brought out with the entrees. Service was abysmal. I had to get up numerous times to ask the waitress about something. After ordering, we sat for over 45 minutes before getting served any food. I can't tell if the waitress was new or lazy or what was going on, but she never checked up on the table unless I went to get her attention. The restaurant was also not looking well maintained, numerous light fixtures were missing bulbs and some tables had damages or holes on their surfaces. Given the price point at Kooma, you would think they would care about maintaining a respectable atmosphere with great service.

Diner Review №58

Food and service was phenomenal :)

Diner Review №59

Service was terrible. Table set without the table being wiped down. Took long time to get ginger ale, food and had to constantly remind waiter to do things.

Diner Review №60

Very average food that made me feel gross after eating. Sushi was just ok and everything was very salty.

Diner Review №61

Diner Review №62

Good food, good drinks. Very sub-par seating especially on the broken benches. Slow bar, not enough staff.

Diner Review №63

Horrible experience. Waited for 25 minutes and never was served and we had a reservation. Worst experience ever!

Diner Review №64

Food was ok. The service was amazing. The staff is very nice and attentive. The restaurant is modern and spacious.

Diner Review №65

Diner Review №66

Anthony did a great job as our server, he knocked it out of the park as they say. The Bruce Lee and Hawaiian rolls were the prefect textures and taste as always. Tried the Tortilla appetizer and it was the best appetizer I've ever had in my 53 years. Highly recommend

Food- 4/5
Service- 5/5
Ambiance- 4/5
Drinks- 4/5
Value- 4/5

Went to Kooma last weekend for a “parents night out.” Everything was “good”. Nothing really stood out and blew you away, but everything was good. Food was good. Quality was good though, seemingly slightly overpriced. Service was good. Atmosphere was probably a little better than good. Ambiance was fun and lively. People were enjoying themselves. Started with the pan fried dumplings, shumai and edamame. The pan fried dumplings were cooked well with a perfect crisp on the bottom. The shumai and edamame were done well too. We got a variety of rolls that looked very artsy and tasted good too. I will say that my drinks were ok, but they did provide fantastic pours. And the others in my party really liked their cocktails. Definitely a plus in their favor. I would absolutely go back as it was a very fun night and the restaurant fit perfectly.

Diner Review №68

Diner Review №69

The food was good but not great. They served 5 of the people at our table, but my wife had to wait over 20 minutes for her food as they seemed to have forgotten it. They didn't make any amends for her having to wait for the food as it should have been taken off the order. My order was incorrect as I ordered a Pad Thai Combo with beef, shrimp, and tofu, but I got chicken instead of tofu. The noodles and sauce were good, but the chicken was dry. The sushi was very good.

Diner Review №70

Food is ok but very expensive compared to other Asian restaurants. Some dishes are good, others are essentially American food. Not worth the $$$ in my opinion. Almost $100 for 2 people with appetizers and entrees.

Diner Review №71

We ordered the poke bowl and the teriyaki chicken. The poke bowl was a little small and the teriyaki chicken was super salty. For dessert we got the cheese cake which was a standard cheese cake you could get at any restaurant and tempura ice cream which was good

Diner Review №72

Apparently "We aren't allowed to split the checks." But also "here's a container, for you to bag your own soup." Yeah let's just make the whole experience awkward....

Diner Review №73

Very nice place with open seating and lights..
Food was also tasty and beautifully served.
Beer had something in it that server was unaware and served it and hence a star down.

Diner Review №74

Seating cushion along wall was well worn and springs in cushions were shot. Otherwise, decor style is nice.

Diner Review №75

Diner Review №76

Was singled out and double questioned for my ID while on a date and stared at by the manager and all the servers for 30 minutes. Terrible treatment of customers.

Diner Review №77

Great food and amazing staff. Sauce is on the sweeter side but delicious and not overbearing.

Kevin and Mike took care of us while we were at the bar; they were personable and knowledgeable about the menu, and provided amazing recommendations! We will definitely be back.

Diner Review №78

Great food and staff. Sit at the sushi bar if you like interacting with the chefs(idk the proper term for 🍣). I sat outside this time. Nice patio area open everyday not just weekends like some of the restaurants of the main strip.

Diner Review №79

Such a calm atmosphere, amazing server, beef skewers and miso salmon were FIVE STAR! Definitely coming back, highly recommend!

Delighted to take my family there delicious food 😋

Diner Review №84

Got so sick after eating from here! I eat sushi all the time too. I had the avocado salad, ginger martini, and a sushi roll. It was hard to even eat when there were flies everywhere and had to keep swatting them away. Server was very sweet, but this was the first and last time here.

Diner Review №85

I use to love Kooma. It sure has changed. Quality, Quantity, and price was better before. A bit overpriced but didn't mind paying because it was good and filling. However, my experience recently; horrific. My miso salmon was BURNT, charred. Sushi Rolls were small and not delicious like I remember. Charged for "open food" and didn't receive the spicy Mayo. Extremely disappointed in my take-out. Wish it was like it use to be!

Diner Review №86

I have been there on person and the food usually is good, but today we decided to place an order online for pick up, and my fail. The order was a mess, I will never order here online again, no white rice at all for my kids meal, and for me too, just chicken and broccoli?? Come on!! It is not cheap!! And my salad, wait for it, my salad was a whole avocado and literally two pieces of lettuce 3 cherry tomatoes and some sheared carrot. If you like to try this restaurant please go in person because their online service is so bad. And of course, if you call to claim about that, the customer service also is a mess!! Try other restaurant to pick up your food!!

Diner Review №87

Great lunch!

Got food poisoning tonight after ordering food here this afternoon... Beware

Diner Review №95

Went to try this fusion Restaurant on a random Thursday. Wasn't too busy and I didn't notice it at the time of seating but it kep getting hotter and more humid the longer I sat. Not sure if they had the AC off for an important reason but it made the meal uncomfortable. The service was great. The food was great on my end with the BBQ stone pot but my wife's hibachi shrimp was over cooked and tough to eat. Okay restaurant but I don't think I'll be returning.

Diner Review №99

Appetizers are absolutely amazing, such a quick, amazing bite. Our server Sean made our experience so much better! I don’t like avocado, and he recommended me a sushi roll that contained avocado, Couldn't even taste it. Amazing.Reasonably priced. Quick. Delicious.

Diner Review №100

Good location, great service, but the food was not good at all. Everything lacked flavor, the spring rolls tasted as if they were frozen and not fresh , the shrimp fried rice was mushy, and specialty rolls were pretty basic in taste and presentation. I’ve been to many sushi restaurants and this one was quite disappointing. However, the servers were very nice and the drinks were strong, so that made it a good experience but I won’t be going back.

Diner Review №101

Diner Review №102

The best in West Chester.

Diner Review №103

Definitely will be coming back

Diner Review №104

Thank you to the owner for everything regarding the restaurant management for taking us here as a lunch meal. And thanks to the waitress for serving the food and to the chef for making the delicious food and meal for me and my family.

Diner Review №105

Always a good spot for a quick sushi meal. The specialty rolls and sushi/sashimi are all good, but a little bit more expensive than everywhere else in the area. Nice location in town which makes it easy to stop in if you have other stuff to do nearby. Bar seating with TVs is always a plus as well.

Diner Review №106

Very worst experience. I called to place to go order and asked waitress to recommend me cooked sushi rolls. I clearly told her I wanted only cooked fishes not the raw ones. She suggested me spicy salmon roll and after coming home I noticed it was raw salmon roll. When I called back to ask about it she was being rude and disconnected the call upon calling her multiple times she stopped answering and it’s going to voicemail. If you’re running a big restaurant atleast train your employees with manners and communication skills. KOP kooma is way better. Never coming back to this branch.

Diner Review №107

Amazing drinks delicious food.

Diner Review №108

I have a ton of food sensitivities and I am even sensitive to any preservatives in food. The sushi here is soooo fresh and good and it is one of the few places I can eat without issues. Whole family loves it here, and The prices are good too!!

Diner Review №109

Diner Review №110

Food and Service are extremely awesome.

Diner Review №111

Fantastic sushi. One of the best in the greater Philly area.

Diner Review №112

The sushi is always very good. They do need to make some upgrades to their restaurant though. The chair I sat in was broke. The booths are cracked and peeling.

Diner Review №113

I will start with this: I LOVE their food. But the customer service I received tonight was atrocious. The food delivery services (door dash, Uber eats, etc) weren’t available so I called to order. Whoever I spoke to on the phone was SO rude. She repeated back my order to me and when she missed two parts of it (the spicy mayo I know that you have to pay extra for) and I asked about them to confirm she gave me the nastiest “yeah I know, we got that.”

When I got there to pick up my food there was no sign of the extra spicy mayo that I paid for (I asked for 2 sides). When I asked for my sides (that were ON the receipt) the host brought back one side. When I asked her for the second side (that I paid for) she asked to see the side I got, and then tore up my receipt that confirmed what I had ordered which was so weird to me.

Again, food was great—but the customer service needs some serious work.

Diner Review №114

Went on Valentine’s Day to celebrate with my gals. Service here was wonderful, drinks were perfect, and the food was *chef’s kiss* 🤌🏽 I got a Strawberry Mule to go with the Hawaiian Roll and they were delicious!! 10/10 recommend 🫶🏽

Diner Review №115

Doesn’t take reservations and said it would be a twenty minute wait. We waited for over an hour. Sushi is mid and can go somewhere better in west Chester.

Kooma has been a go-to for years. The food and drinks are consistently outstanding. Parking is kind of annoying, but that's just the West Chester way.

I ordered pickup which was supposed to be 25 minutes and ended up being 30 minutes late. They were doing all the restaurant orders before takeout

Diner Review №127

Diner Review №128

Worst bibimbop ever!! theres no gochujang paste with my order. No veggies(found 2 carrot shreds), lots of onions and NO EGG!! Its $20..😖 Also Kooma, how much ever fusion you want to do, please dont add lattuce to bibimbop..🤦‍♀️🙈

Diner Review №129

One of the best Asian place in this area hands down. Very nice ambience for dine in, they have few tables right outside as well. One of my colleagues introduced this place and have been going there ever since. I have tried their kooma noodles, bento box for lunch specials and chicken stone pot. All are good and reasonably priced. Hihgly recommended

Diner Review №130

Went here with my husband last Saturday night and we were extremely disappointed with the food we ordered. He ordered sweet short ribs and it was not sweet at all. It was beyond bitter and overpowering sesame oil. The waiter took the plate back and made him a new plate and claimed that it will be “better”. Well Um it was a little better but still bitter.. but in the bright side, The manager was nice enough to take it off the receipt. My husband took few bites of it, boxed it up and to be honest… he tossed it out as soon we head out the door.. we might come back and give them another chance, maybe come back for sushi.. i don’t know.. we’ll see.

Diner Review №131

What delicious tempura!! Mary was a wonderful server! It has a beautiful atmosphere.

Have gone here for years, food is always the best, the service was not the best earlier in 2022 but seems to be getting much better.

Diner Review №135

Adorable place, quick, friendly staff and the sushi was delish!

Diner Review №136

I was there today, the food is good but I asked for sauce on the side for my plate, but I didn’t receive that way. Then he offer me to change the plate but just changed the chicken and the veggies still have a lot of sauce, I have a little stomach problem when I eat to much teriyaki sauce, well, I had to left mostly of my veggies, that so sad. the salad was amazing, I ordered the avocado salad, so good. Finally, I asked for desert, a mocchi ice cream, that was so bad, like old and no flavor at all. will not recommend and probably I will not come back again.

Diner Review №147

My mom and I had a great lunch here. The lunch deals are great and come with enough food to take home some for dinner. The only downside was that our miso soup came out lukewarm and not particularly hot- so just a suggestion to the staff to be more attentive to that. Our waitress (Alicia?) was so so sweet and gracious, great service and food all around.

Diner Review №148

Good vibes staff is great loved the food for my first time being there

Diner Review №149

Really good sushi!! I ate here with my friends and the service was really speedy. The food was really good and decently priced. Really good!! Parking can be difficult since it is town but it is well worth it. Very filling, and absolutely delicious.

I highly recommend their STONE POT BIBIMBAB with tender beef, a variety of vegetables flavored with sesame oil over rice.

Diner Review №154

The sushi was good and they have some unique rolls. The bimbap and some of the other non-sushi related dishes were just ok. Very big portions on the meals, so lots of left overs. Cocktails were good. The atmosphere is starting to feel a little tired. Could use a refresh.

Seated in a timely matter, as it was 6:30 on a Monday. Ordered drinks which came quickly. I ordered off special restaurant weeks menu, another guest ordered spring rolls and a sushi roll, third guest ordered dumpling soup and spicy pork . The order of delivery was so far off it was comical. Dumpling soup shows up 30 minutes after appetizers and myself and other guest entree. Pad Thai was inedible and the spicy pork never showed up at all. I hope our waiter Ben has a day job because being a waiter isn't his forte. It's a shame because this was the place to go for sushi, from now on we will go to Tsunami.

We stopped here for a quick/light bite. The restaurant it's self look nice and clean. They have a sushi bar where the chef prepares the sushi in the dinning room-very visible to customers. The service was quick and the sushi was okay not GREAT but it does the job and the location is also great.

I can say proudly that this is my first restaurant in Philly state. Ordered Kooma Spicy noodles and spring roll, it was delicious. Coming to ambience, it was not less than to a fine dine restaurant. Service was very good. Must try in Westchest downtown.

Nice atmosphere, great food. Best bulgogi I've had. Service was bit lacking. Our party sat for a while with empty drinks which is a let down but food made up for it.

I ordered lunch today from Kooba and it was amazing. I ordered the chicken teriyaki. It came with edamame, rice and veggies. You get a house salad and sushi too! $11.00

Take out order missing multiple items. Three times in a row I had to go back in and wait for them to get it right. I usually check the bag, but this last time I was in a rush. Had to drive 15 minutes back. These little things are the difference Between a 4.8 stars and a 4.4 star establishment

Very good food.

I tried out Kooma because Bon Bon sushi in West Chester is closed on Sundays. In my opinion Bon Bon is better and is priced more affordably. Kooma does have good decor inside though.

Diner Review №178

Very fresh and tasty, busy and a little tight at the 2 person tables on the side but so worth it for the food, on the pricy side

Got takeout here for lunch. I ordered the Maki three roll combo. I asked for 2 shrimp tempura rolls and one philly roll (they said they couldn't normally switch them around but since they were the same price I was told it wouldn't be an issue). Website says $13 and I was charged $14...whatever. But the sushi itself was AWFUL. I've had better sushi from Giant. I ate here two years ago and it was great. Will not be eating here again.

We came out for appetizers and cocktails. The service was super friendly and knowledgeable. The cocktails were delicious especially the lychee martini. The appetizers were great especially the rock shrimp and Hamachi carpaccio.

Extremely over priced food. Slow service, and they don’t let you do individual checks.

Love their Bento boxes

Diner Review №192

Good variety, Asian fusion flare. Definitely recommend.

Diner Review №193

I have been to all of the sushi restaurants in west chester and most of the surrounding sushi restaurants in the area. Kooma by far is the worst sushi restaurant I have ever been to. I am giving the restaurant an extra star for our waiter who did his best given the situation and the drinks.

The restaurant itself must have been a club in its past life because the interior design is all club decor. The swanky music was distracting and almost an insult to Asian culture. I genuinely was confused on what they were going for. This restaurant is a Morimoto wannabe in my opinion and they missed the mark completely.

This is the spot for drinks! Their drink selection is extensive and full of options.

We ordered the yellowtail appetizer which was the highlight of the night. But we realized that our table had no soy sauce dishes let alone soy sauce. So when we asked our waiter he rushed over with the soy sauce. But then he struggled to find a soy sauce dish for us. HOW?!? I have never heard of a sushi restaurant that ran out of soy sauce dishes.

We ordered a couple rolls which weren’t memorable. I would never come back to this restaurant.

Probably my favorite place in all of West Chester! You have to try the spicy chicken lettuce wraps! And the Hibachi Chicken! I’ve never tried sushi in my life, but you don’t have to like sushi to love this place! 5 stars!

My wife loves hawaiian roll sushi and they are the only place on the area that had it. She was very pleased with the sushi.
