Been here several times always fresh and consistent portions. If you're a fan of sushi and Japanese style appetizers but looking for a Subway restaurant style of informal dining ...a quick bite to eat, without all the overhead in service and prices, then I suggest trying this place.My favorite is the deluxe salmon bowl with the black rice. The fish is very fresh and I like the crab and seaweed salad. This has a very savory without being overpowering a true umami kind of tasting food. No overkill on making it hot or spicy. The meals include complimentary self-serving of miso soup. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. In my opinion it's a great sushi bowl at Subway prices.
Great food with reasonable prices. This is a hidden gem! Don’t bother coming within two hours of closing because the new staff is already closing the shop and are rude about dine in.

A hidden gem in Vernon Hills. Friendly staff, fresh poké bowls, and free miso soup are all here!My fave is the jewelry bowl, which is pretty enough to want to wear!

The best poke bowl that I’ve ever had. The service is very quick and the free miso soup is also delicious. Getting the purple rice adds fun color and more exciting flavor than just white rice.

I’ve been here more than my bank account or I would care to admit… but it’s worth every penny and 30 minute drive one way. The staff are one big family, and they prepare your food in less than a few minutes. I recommend anyone who loves fresh raw fish, many sides, and a full belly to eat here. I’ll take a Deluxe Ahi Tuna Bowl with extra spicy Mayo every time.

5/5 I was satisfied2nd time coming here and each time I've had a good experience. The first time I had the deluxe Salmon bowl, which was a lot of stuff for a poke bowl for me. So the 2nd time I got a regular salmon bowl and it was just right.In one small bowl, everything worked well. Cucumbers, avocado, seaweed salad, sprouts, and marinated salmon. It really looks plain, but it works because nothing overpowered another. There was not too much sauce or too much of any overpowering flavors. The rice was cooked very well too.After having it as take out, I felt satisfied and satiated. I wasn't overwhelmed, hungry, or anything else. I was content and it was a great feeling.Service was great. I didn't have to wait long gor my take out.

Very simple interior....don't expect high end seating/dining but the FOOD is AMAZING. We LOVE the Poke bowls. Our favorite carryout hands-down. Very fresh, delicious, will be back many more times.
A staple that can not be replaced! You are missing out if you have not been The tuna salmon crab (all fish) here is always fresh! Reasonably priced and potions are a good value. The crunch, the crab, seaweed salad all perfect temperature and textures, the service here is quick and friendly, the staff is knowledgeable and helpful, especially appreciated the great suggestions on the most popular items. The tuna tartare and chips is spicy, salty and seasoned to perfection. Can’t wait to go back!!
Ive been going here for over a year now and I could say hands down this is my favorite food place ever. Their food cleanliness and consistency goes beyond my expectations everytime. It simply is perfect and on top of all this the owners make me feel at home. My two favorite orders from Kuma’s are the Whatta Shrimp Bowl and Deluxe Salmon Bowl. 10/10 <3
