Customer Reviews
Sumo Japanese Restaurant has a rating of 4.5 out of 5 based on over 981 reviews on Google
I come here every week sometimes more than once and I LOVE it. Been coming here for over a year consistently and it’s just the best. The prices are great. The quality is phenomenal. Taste is amazing. The rolls are amazing you don’t find that anywhere else and trust me I go everywhere to try to find a place as good. Service is amazing. Love it here.
Sumo sushi is one of our favorite places to go for dinner. We go for dates and we take our kids. The food is exceptional and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. The kids have spilled drinks and the staff is never bothered and so sweet about helping us clean it up. Danny (one of the sushi chefs) is personable and interactive! They are constantly busy which just shows how popular they are with so many people- everyone wants to eat there!!!
My experience today was very bad. It was a family dinner with my small kids. The kids made a little mess, as children usually do. I had customized my tip amount, but the lady who ran the restaurant forced me to pay the tip, even though I had already intended to pay more than what she asked. I felt she did this out of disrespect. She ruined our dinner, and my kids were upset because she said, "Your kids made a mess, so you have to pay a service fee." For context, I lived in Japan for a long time, and I have never encountered such rude behavior from a Japanese person before. This was the first time in my life I’ve been forced to pay a tip like that!
Excellent Japanese food with a bonus heated seating area under a tent. Cooked options have unique flavours like the sesame chicken. Friendly service. Good sized dishes reasonably priced.
Gia was friendly and helpful! I had the triple fried rice and it was delicious. I also had albacore and unagi. They were tasty as well. Main course was the Nabeyaki Udon. So good! Service was excellent and so was the food! Just go!
My visit to Sumo was beyond amazing, and I loved the quality of their food! Every dish was delicious and tasty. Manager and server were so professional and kind; visited our table and made sure everything was good! I also adored the ambiance and atmosphere of the restaurant. Overall, it was a fantastic experience at this sushi Japanese restaurant! I would highly recommend this place! So fresh
I’ve been coming to Sumo for years, probably over 200 times, and it’s sad to see how much this place has changed. My recent visit was easily the worst experience I’ve ever had here. From the moment we walked in, the waiter was unnecessarily rude and rushed us to order — despite the restaurant being nearly empty, two hours after opening. When I asked for a little more time, he came back less than a minute later, clearly impatient. When the food arrived, I was shocked. My sushi roll looked like it was thrown together — half of it had fallen apart and was sitting off to the side of the plate. It looked like a kid made it. I wish I had taken a photo because it genuinely looked like it was sent out carelessly. To make things worse, the sushi chef kept staring at me the entire time, which made the experience feel really uncomfortable and almost hostile. I’ve never left a bad review before, but this felt worth mentioning because I truly hope management reads this and takes it seriously. This restaurant used to feel welcoming and consistent — now it feels like no one cares about quality or customer experience anymore. I won’t be coming back unless things change. Ps, the rude waiter was a girl(I forgot her name but she was younger), and the rude sushi chef was an older man that seems to enjoy making his customers feel uncomfortable the entire time they’re there.
