Good food! I do miss the outdoor seating though. It was so much more beautiful and cozy than inside and not its inside and a little dirty. The service is fairly good. Everything is just average.

I love this spot because of the soup, their fire crab was fire. It is sweet & spicy. Very flavorful. The toro melts in your mouth, it is on the fattier side but I like it more than lean meat. They give a good amount of vegetables. Overall the fire crab is a must try! It is the best one to pair with my meat & veggies. We came on a Sunday night when they are short staffed but we were short on the service we were getting.

Tried their all day $12.99 special which comes with plate of beef ~10 pieces decent quality for the price, plate of mixed vegetables, rice, and their OG broth. Service was quick and kind. It's a darker lit interior, one line of tables, not too cramped. For $12.99, it was a pretty good deal! The soup was nice and sweet to drink. Beef was sliced well. Good mix of kale, cabbage, lettuce, mushroom. If you're looking for a quick meal or eating alone this can be a good option! Their menu also consists of higher quality meat cuts like wagyu which are much higher priced. Parking is free and part of a larger plaza that includes Vons, LA Fitness, and 99 ranch next door

This is my favorite hot pot place in the 626. The quality of the meat is really good and I always get their sukiyaki soup it's the best. The service isn't the greatest here just because every time I come they're always short staffed there's usually only one server present. But even with them being short staffed we still get our food in a timely manner.

Kokumi is always on the rotation for dinner between my friends or family. This is the hot pot place with good quality veggies and meats. Kokumi has an abundance of parking since it's located in a big plaza. I never had a problem with parking. I always order the pork bone soup with the waygu toro meat. The meat, soup, and vegetables are all good. The sauces are top-notch. I recently tried the fire crab soup and I think I might have to change up my order. It was a good balance of sweet, spicy, and sour. A very good unique soup that you can't get anywhere else. Service is okay. The price range is on the higher side for hot pot. They do upcharge for everything like the soup and meats. They used to offer free unlimited vegetables but now it's an additional charge too. I wish they brought that back. Even those, you can go to AYCE for the same price, I prefer coming here. It's that good. Overall, Kokumi is a great place to get your hot pot on.

Kokumi is one of my favorite shabu spots strictly because of the Fire Crab Broth. Mokkoji is too far from the 626 so I have to come here and lately they have been super short staffed with one person working during dinner hours and he seems to be really stressed out every time. Today I ordered the small regular sized portion of the half and half zobu and rosu and while the meat quality is really good, I feel like the portion is so small with how thin the meat is , and when it is cooked, it runs out quickly. Unfortunately there is not free refills on the veggies or maybe just the mushrooms? Before I used to ask for extra free of charge but I guess they charge now! The fire crab broth is amazing!! You get the spicy seafoody taste with the mix of sukiyaki and its so unique that alot of other places dont have. Also the sesame sauce is the best ive tasted. While this place is pretty pricey, its satisfying every time. I need to start coming when they have the deals to not break the bank and still satisfy my cravings.

The shabu-shabu was great! Nice amount of veggies and good quality meat for the price. From the menu, 5-8 pieces of each meat didn't seem much but my portions were pretty huge. I got the sukiyaki broth with wagyu toro beef and lamb and loved it, but also tried the army stew broth which was really tasty and unique. The tables are spacious with a spot for each person's individual pot and all the shabu components are laid out nicely. The set meals have just about everything you'd want even without extra add-ons. I found it to be a really enjoyable cooking/dining experience. The only negative- they seemed short-staffed and from other reviews this seems like the norm. We watched a few empty tables left with dishes for ~20 minutes while parties were waiting just because they didn't have time to clear them which was a little painful. It took a while to get our server's attention but they were really nice. I don't want to lower my rating because of that, but please hire another person!
