Kuma Sushi Bar Beginner’s Guide: Tips, Tricks & Strategies to Restore Kumaki’s Sushi Bar to its Former Glory

Kuma Sushi Bar, just like all other titles from the company, provides a quick and simple tutorial session at the start of your adventure, making it absolutely easy for just about anyone to dive right in and start enjoying its world. The number and variety of improvements you can do in Kuma Sushi Bar provides a lot of freedom as to which ones you should prioritize over others and earnings are practically guaranteed as well, regardless of how you choose to run your sushi bar.

However, if you are itching to earn more coins and cash to finish all the repairs and unlock the various display items, then you stumbled upon the right place as our Kuma Sushi Bar beginner’s guide will help you restore your familial heritage back to its former glory and grow even beyond its former self!

1. Keep Attracting Customers

Customers are exclusively your source of income in Kuma Sushi Bar and any customer who comes and dines in will yield you coins and sometimes even cash as tips. Customers, however, hardly ever come in without an effort from you to attract them, making it necessary for you to distribute flyers through its icon on the lower right side of the screen.

It takes more than 1 tap to generate 1 flyer and you will start off with wanting to create 4 as your sushi bar will be able to accommodate 4 customers with its 2 tables after the tutorial. Creating more flyers beyond what your sushi bar can accommodate will yield a line of customers waiting to be seated.

Kuma Sushi Bar provides an ad boost that makes it more convenient to attract customers by bulk as well. The TV icon above the flyers can be clicked on to play a short video ad. Afterwards, your sushi bar will have as many customers as there are vacant tables, making it unnecessary to smash tap the flyer icon. It is important to note as well that after creating a certain number of flyers, it will become unavailable for a short period of time.

In such cases, the TV ad will be your only resort to keep attracting customers and earning money. Keep in mind, however, that once a customer has seated and readied his or her order, you have to tend to them as soon as you can as they may leave after some time.

Coins stand as the basic currency in Kuma Sushi Bar and will be what you receive consistently from customers. Coins can be used to purchase different decorations, unlock the staff lounge, purchase different costumes for your staff, and even upgrade the ingredients and recipes in the sushi bar.

Cash are considered as a premium currency and will be a little more challenging to earn than coins. Cash are an essential resource needed to repair different areas in the sushi bar as well as unlock the left side of the bar where sushi is served on a conveyor belt.

Regardless of whether you choose to keep using the flyers or the TV ads to attract customers, the amount of coins and even cash that you can earn over time will largely be dependent on how often you let customers in and serve them.

There are different ways on how customers can be fed in Kuma Sushi Bar: the first is having Kumaki actually prepare sushi for them, which involves the challenging game of sorts where you must prepare the right ingredients in the right order; while the second is where your faithful buddy, Nyanko does all the cooking while Kumaki rests and plays more like an all you need to do is tap on each customer and wait for them to finish eating and leave the bar. While you can earn profits in both instances, more coins can be obtained with the former method, which means that you should consider going for it whenever possible.

2. Strategize Around Making Sushi

Having Kumaki do the sushi preparation himself is key to earning more coins than simply relying on Nyanko to cook automatically on his behalf. Naturally it requires some effort and strategy to make the most out of each run as well and there are also rest periods in-between cooking sessions. The amount of coins you earn after the sushi serving session ends will depend on the number of customers serve as well as the highest combo you can make. When the knife icon pops up above Kumaki, you know he is ready to start rolling.

As far as number of customers to serve is concerned, you will start off with 2 tables, having a maximum of 4 seated customers. Once the other tables have been repaired, you can have 8 tables for a total of 16 seated customers to serve in one run. It is best to fill out every seat before you tap on Kumaki’s knife and play the sushi preparing game. Repetition and practice will be your best pals here and keeping a calm, focused mind will help you het the correct orders fast and efficiently.

In essence, there are no time limits within which you should start or finish an order. However, once you finish assembling any of the orders, you will need to finish the next one within the time limit to register it as a combo.

This is indicated by the decreasing bar bordering the number in the upper left side of the screen. The highest combo you achieve will have an impact on the total amount of coins you can earn. Do not worry much if you slip up anywhere as you will still earn coins and there will be plenty of opportunities to try for perfect combos again.

You will start off with merely 3 different ingredients but as your sushi bar continues to grow and expand, various ingredients will be added to the mix, making the preparation session a little more challenging with each run. One of the key mechanics to keep in mind here is that the combo timer will not start until you start preparing an order, which means there is a limitless amount of time for you to mentally prepare and strategize for the first 3 orders you receive.

Additionally, You will have more help from staff you can recruit as your sushi bar gets better. Starting off with Nyanko, making a mistake in the preparation of Sushi gives you a fast and convenient way of disposing it. Once you make a mess with what you are trying to assemble, you can simply click on Nyanko and he will chow down on it instantly.

As you make progress, the big but sweet bear, Kumo, will join your staff. As he is an expert with the knife, Kumo can tremendously help you with sushi preparation. Once you play the sushi preparation game with Kumo in your crew, you can click on him anytime and all orders on screen will be completed.

He will fall asleep right after, though so it may take a while before he can assist you within the same around again. It is best to go for the easy orders first with him around, and then simply tap on him when orders having lots of ingredients are present.

Kitsu is yet another staff you will have later who can help make sushi preparation easier for you. Kitsu will stand as a waitress and once you start preparing sushi for the customers, she will take the place of one order slot so you will only have 2 available at a time. Clicking on her will have her move and be replaced by an order, giving you more flexibility as to how fast or slow orders come in, and can help you maintain long combos for the best coin rewards at the end of the run.

3. Prioritize Repairs That Earn You More Money

Consistently catering to a growing population of customers is basically half of main objective you have in Kuma Sushi Bar as you most certainly have to repair and re-decorate your family’s legacy in line with the goal of bringing it back to its former glory. The main dining area is just the start of the long journey towards fully restoring the sushi bar as two more areas will also be unlocked once you have earned enough fame and money to do so.

You can switch to repair and decorate mode by tapping the mallet icon at the lower left side of the screen. You will need to spend varying amounts of cash for each repair and can only have 3 pending repairs consecutively, each with a 20-minute completion time regardless of its price.

Despite having a somewhat overwhelming initial count of stuff to repair, however, you can basically divide all items across 2 different categories. The first type of repairs can lead to you earning more income while the rest are areas you can decorate and do not have an impact on your earnings.

The only ones we can consider as items that earn you income are the tables in the main dining hall and the sushi conveyor belt in the room to the left of the dining hall. Everything else to spend your cash on are locations where you can put up decorations and can be considered as second priority once you have invested cash into maximizing your earning potential.

Given these considerations, the best way to spend cash on repairs is to unlock the tables first. There are 6 more tables to unlock in the main dining hall in addition to the 2 you already have after the tutorial. Considering that more tables can mean more customers entertained, prioritizing them and getting more coins as well as higher chances of obtaining cash from tips will consequently lead to having an easier time to have more cash for the other repairs as well as more coins to purchase numerous decorations.
