Sumo Dog takes the American Classic hot dog and redefines it with Japanese ingredients, inspiration and tradition. It is the brainchild of Jeffrey Lunak, a veteran of “Iron Chef” Morimoto’s Restaurant Group. Sumo Dog explores the combinations of the American classic with a heavy nod to the Japanese Izakaya.

This is a cool spot with some great gluten free options! Which was exciting for my child who has an allergy and feels like they miss out on the “cool” places often.
Staff is always incredibly helpful, patient and kind! I’m not huge on hotdogs, personally but there’s are pretty good. I’ve also tried their burger which is a nice Japanese spin on a smash burger.
Tater tots are bomb! Ive also tried the rice nuggets and they’re great! Different but next time might go back jist for those. Grateful to have fun and yummy, quick options that sre great for kids out here in CV.

Excellent First Experience!!! The restaurant is very cool inside, and I love the Japanese style decor. We were helped right away. You order at the counter and then find your own table. I got the Godzilla Dog. It was FULL of flavor. The first taste is sweet and followed by a little kick of spicy deliciousness . Definitely great Asian flavors that are unique but very good all together! The quality of the beef was also very good. The warden ordered a half dog… that’s right, they offer half dogs!!! It’s super convenient if you want to try a couple of different ones or if you’re just not that hungry. She had the Canopy Dog, and she said it was also full of delicious savory and refreshing flavors. The fries and tater tots were phenomenal! Perfectly crispy, and the oil they used seemed extremely clean tasting. Great portions all together, we will definitely be back to try more of the menu! Service was really great as well. The woman at the front was extremely nice and helpful with the menu. She also let me try their house made lemonade, which is delicious. I ended up getting a cup and did not regret it.

A local chef recommended this hot dog shop. When delivered these hot dogs looked really unique and very tasty. I tasted 3 as we shared and was satisfied with the Japanese style toppings. The service was very helpful. The location is quite nice too, in a new shopping center with other restaurants around. It would have been nice to sit outside but there were no outdoor heaters as the other restaurants had.
If you like hot dogs and variety it is worth a try. Even if your not a fan of hot dogs i don’t think you would regret trying the food.

UPDATE: Forget the pro tip at the end, the $5 special on Mondays has ended. Not sure it becomes a regular stop at their regular prices.
Sumo Dog, in the recently development adjacent to the Ralphs has been in the back of my mind to try. I’m glad we did, the dogs we tried were of high quality, we attractive to eye and the service was very good. We found the decor a bit stark but not unplesant. I think the only disappointment was the fries, not bad but definately the weakest item we tried.
This is located directly acoss the parking area from the Chipotle. It is a narrow inline, with a fenced patio. The restaurant itself is counter service, it has a fairly large dining room that was empty when we arrived at about 11:45 on a Tuesday. The menu is extensive and a bit confusing. We could have spent an hour reading it, but the counter person was very good at explaining it.
In the end we chose familarity over adventure and tried the Chicago Dog and New York Dog. With fries and one drink that came to over $22, which seems a bit expensive (see pro tip below). The food was brought to the table, served in a plastic basket.
Both dogs were on a soft bun with topping and the sauces added in way that shows the build off. I think the Chicago Dog was the best of the two. Both had a robust sized dog, good skin crunch and the experience was good. The New York Dog had a bit too little sourkrout to my taste, but it was acceptable. The fries were hot and fresh, just a little bland. They were to thick for string fries and to thin for regular.
But I am a french fry snob so make the judgement yourself.
PRO TIP- on a monday all dogs are $5 except the Godzilla
dog. I can say I liked our experience. The dogs were of good quality.

I came at 1:00pm on a Friday afternoon. We were told that we just missed the lunch rush which was great. We sat on the patio and we had it to ourselves. It was a prefect afternoon to sit outside.
The food was great and we came when they had a sale on the Godzilla Dog. They have a different sale on each day of the week.
The service was great and fast as we were the only order in.
The only complain is that they have can sodas no fountain drinks.

The dawgz were Luke warm at best. Ordered the Chili Cheese & the Sumo Dawg with one being a meal with tots & a 8 oz drink for $25…definitely not worth it! I will say the tots were crispy and warm. I gave service a 3 since we were so amused about how serious and unfriendly they were. 0 for personalities We were the only ones in the drive through and found it hilarious I was asked for a name for our order. There wasn’tanyone inside as well. Unless you like eating Hot Dawgs for the shape…I would not recommend this place.

This place wasn’t bad. I tried three different hot dogs my first time here. It was the sumo dog, miso katsu, and the bacon banh MI. My favorite out of those was the sumo dog, great flavor! The only downside is that the hot dog meat tastes very strong, and some bites that flavor overpowered the toppings. However, I still want to go back and try the other hot dogs.

Delicious twist on a hot dog with umami flavors. I will definitely be back to try the others. I went with the signature sumo dog, Yum!

Let me start by saying the food was great, the cashier was friendly and helpful, and it has a cool interior design. I had the Sumo Dog with tater tots; my husband had a Sumo Chili Dog with tater tots; and my son had a plain burger “dog”. Everyone agreed – the food is delicious! My son was so happy that the burger in a hot dog bun (literally as it sounds) was an option because he’s not a huge hot dog fan… plus, he got cheese to drizzle on top, and a new Sumo Dog fan was born.
Now for the negatives. The tater tots are too salty. And, more importantly, the meal isn’t cheap! For the 3 hot dogs with sides and 3 drinks the total came out to $46!!! That’s crazy for a meal of hot dogs. We’ll be back, but it won’t be often.
If you haven’t tried it, yet, I recommend going. Just be ready to shell out some cash if you plan on having the signature hot dogs they’re known for.

Although they were creative on designing their Asian-Japanese-themed hot dogs which were yummy (had the Bahn Mi) the miso coleslaw bombed. Nothing special about limp palid coleslaw with a minimal hint of miso…& I mean minimal. A+ for dog, toppings & bun but whatever creative streak they had to make a miso slaw fell short on the delivery.
