Kooma wasn't our first choice, it wasn't even on the menu, but there was an open table outside. Good thing it wasn't musical chairs because Pa musician Christian Yeager was belting out great country tunes in the square and we wanted to sit and eat. In short order we experienced the Kooma. Enter the Kooma. A place with many rapturous dishes of Chinese, Thai and Japanese flavors, catering to every palate. The spicy chili noodles with shrimp was so good, I woke up in the middle of the night and called myself a liar. It's impossible to become addicted to Cherry Blossom martinis after just 2, but I had to call my counselor to be sure. Enjoy Kooma. Enjoy the food, enjoy the drinks, thank the waitstaff and order a Cherry Blossom martini for that guy
waving at the bar. That's me. Enjoy!

Ok so ...
I started with the crab bites. They were didn't really have a taste, they were soft to the point they were falling apart. The shrimp taco was different. The lettuce and avocado gave it a peculiar taste. And, if dont have your crocs in sports mode or your teeth on kung foo grip, don't eat them. Not sure the type of shell but it was extra crispy/crunchy. Now the volcano roll was very tasty and satisfying, the only thing that botherd me was, as I picked them up they would open up and fall out.
Because of the roll I will try them again for something different, definitely not the crab bite or shrimp taco.
The price is always going to depend on how much you wish to try at once. The atmosphere was pretty calm. I did go on a weekday around lunch.
Crab bites $18, shrimp taco $18, salmon volcano roll $24. You do the math ;)

This Asian fusion restaurant features a nice open sushi bar and a full bar. It’s in a great location—perfect for walking around and surrounded by other great dining options.
We tried the Negimaki, which is thinly sliced sirloin steak stuffed with green onions and cream cheese, grilled and topped with house-made teriyaki sauce. It was quite dense for an appetizer, but my boyfriend really enjoyed it. Both scallop orzo and Westchester Roll were excellent.
The service and atmosphere were great, but the sushi I ordered felt overpriced for the quality—both the uni ($12 per piece) and squid were just okay, not great. I probably should have opted for more of their special rolls instead of the traditional sushi.
Overall, we enjoyed the vibe and the location, and we’ll definitely be back to try more from the Asian fusion menu.

Came for dinner around 6-7PM with reservations. Thankfully we were seated right away because it was quite busy. It took about 15-20 minutes before the waiter took our order, half an hour to receive our sushi, then another 20 minutes to get our entrees. Service was definitely slow due to how busy it was but the food was good and worth the wait, albeit I do believe prices are a little higher than they should be.
We ordered 2 rolls for our appetizers. The rolls were good but they were very thick width-wise compared to sushi from other restaurants. If each piece were cut in half, it would be better or better ergonomically to eat.
I got Bulgogi for my entree. It was surprisingly a lot of food and tasted good, very close to authentic Korean dishes in terms of flavor. I had enough to take home for another meal. I’d recommend trying then Bulgogi dish!
Overall, Kooma is a good restaurant to visit but it is quite expensive. Definitely put in a reservation if you’re hoping to visit because it gets very busy in the KOP area.

Excellent service, perhaps one of the best in the area. Parking can be very challenging, please allow extra time. Excellent drink & wine menu, specifically the Japanese whiskey options is impressive. Price point seems a bit high for the food quality & quantity, but it's just my thoughts. Open area, can get a bit loud depending on your neighbors. Well managed restaurant.
