Best Japanese Restaurants in Malvern

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.

Food was great with inventive options especially tuna dumplings. Server was excellent, she paced the sushi options one at a time instead having it come all at once-allowed us to enjoy each different selection. It’s BYOB which increased the value but prices were fair and comparable to other restaurants. Overall enjoyed our experience.

Everything the restaurant could control was great. There was a loud group seated next to us partway through the meal that acted like they were in their own private room. The space is divided with hanging "beads" and not walls or curtains. My suggestion would be for Veekoo to put more space between groups when seating tables... or maybe caution loud groups politely to avoid this. Food, service, value all terrific, just (hopefully unintentionally) loud table that may see this comment and be more aware next time...

Totally enjoyed eating there. The decor was attractive & calming. The hostess & wait staff were accommodating & helpful to when we asked questions about the menu, which had a wide variety of choices. The food was amazing & beautifully prepared - everything was fresh. I haven't had wonton soup this good in years. The spare ribs were delicious! My walnut shrimp dish was so good! My husband and niece also enjoyed their meals. We will be going back!

Best Asian food in the area in a quiet and elegant atmosphere.
