Kooma is Open for Lunch! (in Behind the Food)

A friend and I were looking for a place to grab lunch today when we made a marvelous discovery - Kooma is open for lunch! That’s right, West Chester’s favorite sushi spot has opened its doors to the lunchtime crowd.

Although the bright, Asian-modernist decor (or the club dance music, for that matter) doesn’t quite have the same effect during the day as it does after hours, a well-lit seat by the window is perfect for enjoying your meal and watching passersby on Gay Street. At 11:45 we had no problem getting a seat, but by the time we left, the place was quietly full of other lunchtime diners.

Their special lunch menu offers a variety of well-priced meals around $10, including both sushi and hot Japanese dishes. Their full sushi menu is also available. I tried a three-roll Maki combo of shrimp tempura, Alaska and California rolls for $13, which proved to be much more than I could eat.

So, when lunchtime is approaching and the sushi craving hits, you now have an alternative to the pre-packaged grocery store boxes. Head to Kooma!

Glad to hear it! They served to the lunch crowd when they opened initially and then decided to go only dinner. Bummer. Glad to hear we can lunch at Kooma again as it’s so yummy!

Comment Guidelines

Be Respectful. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?: Although the old saying, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all," is swell, we encourage constructive feedback (ie, be polite), and recommend backing-up your comments with evidence/witnesses.
Be Honest. Look where it got Abe Lincoln. Well, before the evening at the theater.: We don't recommend complaining just for the sake of it (see number 1), but if you have a legitimate comment, it should be shared. Also, don't hesitate to disagree with other comments, even if your opinion is in the minority. If patrons aren't honest about their experiences, restaurants won't know that there is room for improvement. And there always is.
Be Specific. "The food was good" doesn't cut it.: Each dining experience is unique, so if a dining experience moves you in any way, by all means, share the details. Choose the sensory details that impacted your experience the most and describe them in your postings. Other foodies will gobble it up—literally.
Be Concise. 'Nuf said.: What? We thought it was pretty clear the first time.
Be Helpful. Sort of like how the elves and reindeer help Santa.: Will what you have to say improve the restaurant's ability to provide impeccable service and improve the dining experience for others (again, see number 1)? If so... help away.
Show a Little Pride. No Jane or John Does please.: If you are too embarrassed to put your name as the commenter, you probably should re-evaluate your comments (you know the drill... see number 1). If you have sensitive information that you feel needs to be passed along, please use your best judgment and e-mail it to us to avoid public posting. We don't want you to have any post-post regrets.
Don't Name Names. Let's not get too personal here.: We know you want to share your experiences, both good and bad, but this isn't the place to publicly condemn or praise individual people. Feel free to comment on "the service", "the chef", or "the staff", but any positive or negative mention of specific names will be moderated.
