The food was so incredible. So here I am living in South Portland, Maine looking for amazing places nearby. I decide to go for a walk and I walk by this restaurant. I look inside and I cannot believe that this is in a crazy strip mall with a dollar tree a laundromat/tanning salon a hardware store and a Goodwill. I'm from Miami Beach this place looks like it's from Miami Beach. It's stunning inside the bathroom is clean, beautiful modern and lit like incredible. The menu offers so many different selections from appetizers, sushi, hot pot, Hibachi, soups, salad, lunch combos with an incredible price, sake, a full bar, Maki rolls, lobster Rangoon. I had the pork soup dumplings on the dim sum menu. The waiter told me take a bite drink the soup and then pour on the sauce. I did everything he said. The sauce was black vinegar with ginger. I am 56 years old and that might be the best thing I've ever tasted in my life. They had Zipang, which is a sparkling sake served chilled. Delicious. I also had a blueberry lemon drop martini. With purple on the bottom moving to a light lemon color on top with a sugar rim. It was delicious. My waiter was very kind and very attentive. I may have found my new favorite place in South Portland, 100% worth a visit.

The food was good and it was a very busy night. Like others have said the wait staff seemed to be all over the place and we had a few errors on what we ordered. They were all so nice but clearly, some organizational dysfunction.

First time. Just did simple appetizers. Duck bun and pork dumpling soup. The broth was so flavorful and dumplings tasty. I love duck and these buns were cooked well and the condiments were perfect complement. I can't wait to try more. The interior and bar looked very nice. They accidentally added my food to another take out order. Thank goodness I got there first.

The atmosphere was wonderful. Our server Jimmy was wonderful! Their menu is big and he gave us plenty of time to look and ask questions! The specialty cocktails were delicious! I got a sampling of appetizers, my husband and daughter each got sushi! It was delicious! It was very busy and service was prompt! I can't wait to go back!

This was a super fun place to come! Especially for lunch. We sat at the bar but there is plentiful seating. They have so much variety of food items. The service was great. We got to try drinks, an app, and a meal! They had so many options. Every drink you could think of. We got to witness the employees eating a "family meal" which was great. The space was beautiful with decorations and just an overall concept of an Asian menu. Such a great place to dine in. We will definitely be coming back!

Our first time to Kume and we were definitely impressed! Don't let the fact that this restaurant is in a strip mall turn you away. Just look for the big red sumo wrestler out front! We walked into a beautifully decorated and bright space. The decor is lovely. There is a huge lit up bar to the left, which we chose to sit at. My husband and I each had a salad. Normally salads at sushi restaurants are tiny, but this one was bigger than normal. Fresh vegetables, and a great ginger dressing. My husband had the seaweed salad, which he also enjoyed. We ordered sushi which came on a lovely tray. I would have to say that this is some of the best sushi in the area! We had the dynamite roll, spicy tuna roll, beauty and the beast, and king of king roll. All were excellent. Highlight was the king of king roll. This was very large and rich, but delicious with real king crab, avocado, and cheese, topped with more avocado and king crab. The server was very friendly, and while there were a lot of people in there, our meals came out quickly. We also got to watch college football on the big TVs over the bar. We will definitely be back!

So delicious, cannot believe it wasn't packed when we went at 6:30pm on a Saturday night. Everything was quick and delicious and inside is just so cute you can tell they really put some work into the space. Tried the clear soup, the dinosaur egg (fun to get once but a bit too much fried for my liking), and duck buns - will be back for the lobster Rangoon Had the Hawaii roll - probably top 10 rolls I've ever had the pineapple was such a unique touch and made the roll so good. Pink Lady roll was amazing as well and balance the slight sweetness of the Hawaii roll. I usually do not like avocado in my sushi but almost everything we ordered had avocado in it and I wouldn't hesitate to get it again. My husband and I were worried the two rolls wouldn't be enough but we were both stuffed. Fairly priced especially for quality and quantity.

Plenty of parking here, as Kume shares a large lot with neighboring businesses in the plaza. The interior has a very modern, clean, light colored design. We were greeted and seated quickly. Our drinks and foods were delivered quite promptly. The rolls were beautiful plated and my chicken dish was a generous size. Service here is top notch. Everyone seems to have a job and works collectively, rather than just by table assignment. Empty dishes are removed immediately, waters are filled often, and you are checked in on frequently. My son and I had a great lunch here and will be returning. He especially enjoyed taking pictures with the large red sumo wrestler that's affixed to the sidewalk near the entrance.

Excellent food, excellent atmosphere, excellent service- basically the trifecta of restaurant perfection. I cannot say enough great things about Kume, but the highlights are: the quality of the food, especially the fish, perfect service, great value, and a killer lunch menu with great deals. Everything taste very fresh, delicious and impressive amount of care is taken in the presentation of the food. We've visited for lunch and dinner a number of times, and once we tried the sushi dinner for two, which is a little spendy, but a huge amount of quality sushi and we felt it was an incredible value. The decor features simple lines, a Japanese inspired feel, and a mix of deep booths and table seating. I whole heartedly recommend Kume to everyone!

I'm very happy Kume finally opened up their Mill Creek location. It's a really good addition to the neighborhood which I think was lacking before. It replaces a Chinese restaurant formerly at this location called Asia, which had been on a decline for a long while I think. This Kume is much, much smaller than the locations in Topsham and Augusta. I'm not sure there were actually even any hibachi tables. They do have a long sushi bar, several booths and small tables, and one large table, as well as one semi private room at the front behind a curtain. The atmosphere is very, very pleasant. Service is great too. I visited twice on my own, once with my girlfriend, and once with my daughter, and every time I enjoyed my meal. When I went with my daughter, she ordered pineapple juice, but decided she did not like it. The waiter brought apple juice for us instead free of charge.
