Kumi Sushi Grill

くみ寿司

KUMI

An easygoing, everyday sushi and Japanese grill in the Mitsuwa plaza on Kearny Mesa Rd (the old Chopstix Too space): $17-19 specialty rolls, poke and teriyaki bowls, big bento boxes, ramen and udon, plus Korean short ribs and bulgogi. Reviewers rave about the friendly, attentive service and the portions for the price — the reliable pick when a group wants sushi and some people don't. Open daily 11am-9:30pm.
