LA’s SBE Entertainment Group is bringing sushi and small plates to San Diego later this summer. The group, which runs the food tech platform C3, recently launched Kumi, a ghost kitchen that serves up bites out of a Japanese izakaya, in a few cities last week, including L.A. and Chicago.
If you’re familiar with Sam’s Crispy Chicken and Krispy Rice (the online offshoot of Katsuya), then C3 needs no introduction. If you aren’t familiar, here’s what C3 says about its concept: “C3 is focused on disrupting the food and beverage industry by capitalizing on rapidly evolving customer preferences such as food halls, ghost kitchens, and mobile delivery.” Basically, these virtual or “ghost” kitchens allow you to use mobile delivery options (and pick-up) to make your selections, rather than requiring you to sit down in a brick-and-mortar.
San Diego Eater reports the new pick-up and delivery-only eatery (with the exception of a few dine-in locations) will activate in San Diego in late August as part of its nationwide expansion plans. According to Kumi’s website, the eatery “draws inspiration from crave-worthy Japanese street food and bar snacks.” The menu specializes in shareable and hand-held bites. You don’t want to miss out on their signature Nori Tacos.
Once Kumi launches in San Diego, all you need to do is download the Citizensgo app and start ordering.
