“ Best quality sushi I've had at this price range outside of Vegas. The yellowtail nigiri is so flavorful! The spicy tuna isn't very spicy but still enjoyable. Service isn't very personable but they're attentive which I think is more important. For dinner I had 2 rolls and an order of nigiri for $17. They have a lunch special that is 2 rolls for $9! I will definitely be back! ”

“ Tried this place for the first time over Christmas break. If I based my decision on the outside appearance of the place I would not go. Luckily I have had some amazing meals by trying what is inside a business. My wife and I got two Bento boxes which had a good mix of sushi rolls, rice, salad and a protein. I got teriyaki chicken and my wife got the beef. Food was great, service was great. Will be back and will dive into the nigiri and custom rolls!!!!! ”

“ Food is very good. Got sushi and the filet hibachi. The hibachi was so good that I returned 3 times in the month I was staying in Oak Ridge for work!! Recommend the filet hibachi with the lo mein noodles and veggies...Soooooo goood! ”

“ Great place. Staff is always very friendly and the food quality is at least consistent. I'll keep eating there occasionally. ”

“ Ive been coming here for years... still my favorite Japanese Steakhouse in our area north of Knoxville. I always get the Teriyaki Fillet med rare and a side order of Mushrooms (they are like candy). Service was a little slow tonite, but the food is ALWAYS on point! ”

“ My Wife is a huge Hibatchi fan and was craving it tonight. We found Kume on Yelp, liked what the reviews had to say, and decided to try it for ourselves. Although there was a little difficulty (due to differing accents on both our parts) in placing the order over the phone, the employee was about as friendly as a person can be. A genuine care for good customer service really stood out in this quick interaction. The order was ready when they said it would be and the two employees inside the restaurant were just and friendly and pleasant as the guy on the phone. Although this was a take out order I did notice that the atmosphere was nice and the place was spacious and clean. The food smelled delicious riding in the back seat all the way home. Upon unveiling the meal and sinking our teeth into it we could see that this positive experience was gonna continue through the cleaning of the plates. Both my wife and I really enjoyed Kume and immediately placed it in our rotation of food options when anywhere close to Oak Ridge. ”

“ We stopped here because our go-to place was closed and figured we would try a new spot. It was PACKED, and we were worried the wait would take ages but were pleasantly surprised to be seated and waited on very quickly! Our food also came quickly and very hot. The food itself was great - we ordered miso soup (delicious and much more flavorful than miso soups I've had elsewhere) and three or four sushi rolls (all delicious). My only complaint was the prices seemed high for such small serving sizes, but I think we have been spoiled by other places in that regard and their pricing may be fair. All in all we were happy with our service and meals! ”

“ What a good find in OR, right behind Walmart and Home Goods. Prompt, efficient service. Both times, we have ordered to-go and the online ordering system has been down. Upon calling in the order, the pick-up time has been about 30 minutes...short enough to not keel over in hunger and long enough that you know it will be made fresh. The to-go orders are pilled on a table by the entry desk and there are a few benches to wait on. The interior and exterior vibe is a bit random and dated, but the food makes up for it. We will likely stick to to-go. We ordered: -Chicken and Steak Hibachi Dinner: really tasty and well-cooked. We order it without onions and they don't skimp on the zucchini, broccoli, or mushrooms. Great grilled flavor with subtle touch of sesame oil. -Shrimp tempura roll (added avocado): Perfectly cooked and tightly rolled. Avo was a good add! -Dancing Shrimp Roll: tasty combo of ingredients, but moreso a crab roll than a shrimp roll. It had thin slices of shrimp and avo alternating on top of roll. -Sweet potato Roll: Ordered both times and both times undercooked, hard potatoes. Bummer. We will avoid this roll. -New Roll: the spicy crunchy tuna and sauce were unique touches and not too incredibly spicy. Really liked this roll! -Side salad: If you get an entree, it comes with salad. No need to order another. I appreciate that they add both cucumber and carrot. Wish they actually cut up the lettuce instead of a few huge chunks of iceberg. Note that the ginger dressing is tasty but fairly thick and chunky. Depends on your preference. I really appreciate that you can add ingredients to your sushi rolls. I often add cucumber, avocado, and eel sauce to rolls and they are always accurate and tasty. In a city packed with fast food chains and Mexican restaurants, we will come back here often. ”
