Koumi Japanese - Durham

I'm a normal place because it's good to eat. only grip is that they only serve hibachi if the owners are not at work, which suck as it limits the menu to 1/3 of their offers. their best eating is their Thai and Vietnamese dishes, but they should hope that the owners are there or it is a waste of time.

This restaurant actually came up as a suggestion on Google Maps. We gave it a try for take out and thank you Google Maps! The Bun Cha Gio (vermicelli with pork spring rolls) was what I didn’t know I needed. It was so authentic down to pickled daikon in fish sauce. The spring rolls were hot out of the fryer, the vermicelli noodles cold, and vegetables crisp. They even provided crushed peanuts to top off. It came nicely packaged but I had to re-create my childhood memories. Thank you Koumi. This restaurant is everything I didn’t know I needed. Koumi is on rotation!

I love me some sushi but this place did not bring it at all. I really was craving spicy crunchy tuna but they did not have it together. So I told the young lady to give me the spicy tuna and crunchy tuna. I was ordering food for my father, mother, and I.My father is a vegan ordering hibachi vegetables and brown rice and my mother the hurricane roll. My father was happy with his order but mother and I were not! Order took too long but no one was in restaurant. I guess many orders were delivery orders because it was busy for them. Can't fool me...sushi was not so fresh and it appeared to be 90% avocado without much tuna in it, lacking the spice and crunchiness from rolls I ordered. Visiting my parents from Washington, DC mainly for Mother's Day. Learn to make sushi properly. Your sushi sucks!

One of those little hole in the wall places that you wish you would've found sooner. The menu was vast, the portions were abundant, and the crab ragoons are possibly some of the best I've had. My food came within 10 minutes and the staff was attentive to our needs. Definitely recommend! ??

Egg Rolls are good. The chicken is surprisingly good considering it is dipped from a boiling pot. The steak is tough. Carrots are pre-cooked to death. The fried rice is pre-cooked and bland. There are just way too many short cuts taken for speed for the food to be anything but so-so. The customer service needs a lot of work. When I pointed out an error in my order, I was challenged. It is not the customer's fault if the person at the counter doesn't take enough care to pay attention. All in, I would recommend getting Japanese food at another establishment.
