Sumo Sushi & Grill

We love trying new restaurants and this one didn’t let us down! We grade sushi rolls 1 through 5 and save a few notes for future visits. EVERY roll was a 5!!! That has never happened before! Top notch place, great service, amazing food and good location!

Sushi was ok sort of but both me and my wife had stomach issues after eating here. This was our first visit for the location. You can definitely taste that there was a little too much rice wine in their rice prep. Also, place was not comfortable temperature wise, yesterday was 85+ Fahrenheit and it’s as if they had the air conditioning turned off. I don’t know if we came in on a bad day and they just didn’t have proper cooling but if the place was uncomfortably warm, I don’t imagine serving raw seafood would be any better. Service was average, no complaints. Dining here again at this point is debatable but unlikely.

Fantastic sushi! Service was great. We try a lot of different sushi places. This place is at the top of the list. We will be back.

Food is delicious and the happy hour menu is awesome as well. The reason why I’m giving this 3 stars is because our server (blonde hair and tattoos) seemed to be intoxicated. She was slurring and to top it off she reeked of booze. Very disappointed actually. Our normal server was out sick so idk who they got to cover. Very unprofessional.

Went here with my boyfriend because he was craving sushi. He said the yellow tail and salmon were some of the best he’s had. He also raved about the rolls. I’m not as much a sushi fan, but I did try the Hawaii roll and it wasn’t bad to a sushi non-​lover.
I ordered the teriyaki chicken and rice bowl. It was a decent portion, but the teriyaki flavor was overpowered by the large amount of pepper they used. Teriyaki is my go-​to asian flavor, and I was disappointed it was ruined by the pepper. The dish didn’t come with vegetables and I asked the server if I could order a side of veggies. She said that vegetables only came with the dishes and I couldn’t order a side of it. I don’t think it would have been difficult to cook some extra veggies and charged me a few dollars for it… even though it’s not on the menu. Would have been an easy way to make a customer happy.

The sushi is delicious. The service was awesome. We sat outside and I got a chill (it was feb) they moved me right away to be closer to a outside heater and all was good. It’s directly across the street from Harkins movie theatre so sitting outside provides a lot of people watching. Only thing I can complain about it is they allow smokers to smoke on the rails of the outside area and its offensive when I’m trying to enjoy a meal. But I guess that’s what I get for sitting outside… Otherwise GREAT GREAT SUSHI!

The sushi is good but I liked the weird names for the roles. They’ve gotten rid of that.

Great food at a reasonable price and the chef is very friendly. I recommend sitting at the bar.

I came here with a large group. The chef and waitress were both very friendly and amazing. This is the first time I had sushi and I was very impressed. They had a very fresh ingredient list. I will definetly visit again

Their sushi is amazing. The cook was so friendly and handsome. The waitress was very caring.

Cook was so friendly and kind its like I’ve been here for years! Great service and food! ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would eat again.

This place is amazing. Staff treats you like family. Best custom sushi ever. Sushi chef is very kind.

Ordered sashimi, seaweed salad and the stuffed avocado and everything was amazing. The fresh wasabi was a definite treat!

My husband and I are regulars at Sumo since we discovered this little gem a little over a year ago. The sushi is fantastic and the service is always amazing. Happy hour selection and prices are great!

This place is awesome! Their happy hour is fantastic — $ 6 shrimp tempura roll, $ 5.50 spicy tuna roll, $ 5 sake bombs! We had the la la roll and I don’t know roll too and both were delicious. Great portion size. Proximity to the theatre couldn’t be better.

I have mixed feelings about Sumo sushi. I must admit the real reason I come is to watch non-​stop Kpop videos while I eat so let’s establish that first, I love all things Korean. It actually makes me sad that they play American pop music instead of Kpop because «customers didn’t like it» WELL this paying repeat customer does!!! I’ll take Big Bang over Justin Bieber anyday…
So the food is decent, they have a good variety of specialty rolls. It makes me laugh when people write comments that the sushi/​sashimi tasted «fishy». why exactly would people expect raw fish not to taste like fish??? I’ve had both sashimi and sushi on several occasions and yes sorry to tell you IT TASTE LIKE FISH and that’s why I ordered it! News flash to non-​sushi connoisseur it’s state law that the fish has to be flash frozen prior to eating to kill any parasites so your not going to get fresh fish unless you live on the coast or move to Asia.
Aside from some drawbacks this place has potential I just hope they fix the minor things (slow service) before they become another victim of arrowhead fountains restaurant closures. FIGHTING!

This was my first time here and it was okay, good but certainly not the best sushi I’ve had. We tried a few different menu items and the general conclusion was bland. Everything could have been kicked up a notch…

My family of 4 love this place special my boy and daughter. We been coming here the last 3 years and still counting. Good customer services and great foods special the sauce for the sushi. We always have a good time here A+++++++

My husband and I come here often. We enjoy the environment and the employees are so friendly. The food is unbelievably delicious. My fave is thier chicken yakisoba and they know I like it spicy. Hubby always gets sushi and will only come here for sushi.

Sumo sushi was once one of my favorite sushi. I have been going to sumo sushi since they have opened and have seen numerous changes to the menu, quality and prices. The menu selection started off mediocre and nothing special, as the owners took over the menu from the previous owners. I can definitely say their new menu selection is really outstanding! That being said, their prices have gone up and their quality has gone way down. I essentially got gas station sushi for Benihana prices.
Before ordering I asked what type of Tuna was on the menu. The waiter did not know so she asked the sushi chef. The sushi chef was also clueless so he told the waitress it was regular tuna. I decided on the yellowtail nigiri and beef udon instead.
My father decided on the salmon and tuna nigiri. The salmon was previously frozen farm raised. If farm raised is your cup of tea, more power to you but I’m not about to pay for that at a sushi restaurant.
The other fish was mediocre at best.
My udon had some of the best broth I’ve had the pleasure of consuming. However my oversized noodles were undercooked (not al dente, raw) and my beef was NY deli thin, which made for a very tough, over cooked beef which was probably a cut from the «round.» This was accompanied with over cooked carrots, mushrooms and cabbage. This bowl of soup set me back $ 15.50.
My best advice is to find your passion again. Remember, raising prices will not keep you in business. Repeat customers will. I have never seen more than 10 people in your restaurant. Advertise, advertise, advertise. Having good drink specials wouldn’t hurt either. Five dollars for a 12 oz bottle of blue moon is a little excessive.
I want the old sumo that I once loved back!
