“ The best place to enjoy a delicious meal and a nice atmosphere and the waiters are super friendly. ”
“ ambiance was good honestly expected better food bc it looks fancy & went viral. food was good but not beyond expectation. It’s japanese with korean touch. I liked the yakitori the most! ”
“ Highly recommended. The atmosphere is good and private, good for date. I like the Grilled Chilean Sea Bass most. The roasting is done perfectly, with a crispy exterior and a tender interior, making the meat fresh, sweet, and juicy. The Assorted Skewers are also cooked very well and is delicious, and definitely worthwhile for a try. The sashimi is fresh, but if you have limited budget, you can save this later because this is not their specialty I think. Raw octopus is interesting, remember to put wasabi in it and mix them together:) ”
“ We used to always order from Izakaya Kumade through Uber Eats, but we finally decided to visit in person — and it was 100% worth it. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was impeccable, and the ambiance of the place made the entire experience unforgettable. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and tasted amazing. It’s the kind of place where every detail is taken care of. Truly a 10/10 every single time ”

“ I wish I can give this restaurant 100/10 stars!! From the food, to the staff, and the beautiful atmosphere everything about Kumade was absolutely incredible! Our server, Paul, was truly amazing and he gave us such great recommendations! Our favorite was the chicken teriyaki, fried dumplings and assorted skewers. I’d highly recommend everyone coming here, and I definitely will be back! ”
“ The space is well-separated, making it a great place to meet and chat with friends. The highball felt a bit light on alcohol, but it was just right. The Ilpoom Jinro setup was perfect . The menu items were well-balanced and easy to enjoy with drinks. ”
“ Izakaya Kumade in Palisades Park, NJ. It’s hard to miss-it’s beautifully lit and it’s very inviting. Once you step inside you are greeted and shown your private eating booth. Anytime you need anything just ring the button and the friendly server comes! I love that you can get sushi, yakitori and LA Galbi all under one roof!
