What people say, in short
Kisume attracts recommendations for Japanese dining, including sushi and omakase. One diner calls it a favourite modern Japanese experience and another likes it for a romantic meal. Dissent is specific: a diner preferred the vegetarian omakase to the meat version but did not rate the meal overall, while another found the food average for the cost. Comments describing it as a splurge sit alongside enthusiastic endorsements.
