Met my mom and brother at 6:30 for dinner on a Tuesday the week before Thanksgiving. Even though it was a weeknight I highly recommend having a reservation and get there early because parking takes a while. we had a really great server who was knowledgeable about the menu and gave us some tips. we ended up, ordering the spring rolls and steamed dumplings as an appetizer. and shrimp pad, Thai spicy chicken, stone pot and a sweet beef stone pot as our entrées. we were too full to get dessert. This is my fifth visit to Kooma in the last couple of years and it never disappoints.

Second time here and it needs to be much sooner before our third visit and beyond... The food, as expected, was exceptional; the seasonal offerings were a delight to go through and the omakase did not disappoint. Even the uni was delightful, and I've never enjoyed that any other time I've tried it. The sake offerings were great and I have a new producer to dive into after having a flight. What a wonderful way to spend an anniversary and introduce others to the experience!

This was our second visit to the Bryn Mawr restaurant. Our normal go-to has been the Berwyn location for many years. The Bryn Mawr restaurant is every bit as good as Berwyn and we recommend either. Haven’t tried the Royersford location yet but I’m sure it is every bit as good as it’s sister locations.
