We were a party of 12 and had a reservation. A group came in after us after waiting at the table for some time, and the chef cooked their food before serving us. I asked if they were short staffed and was told yes. The food was delicious, with everyone having to-go plates. The presentation was awesome. Hats off to Mark, the chef, that was very entertaining. If the wait and a group being served before us did not happen, I would have given them 5 stars.

Sat at the bar allowing me to order take out. Took at least 10 minutes to be acknowledged before getting some water. Waited another 15 min until they’re turned to order my take out. Had to search for my server for refills on the drink. The order finally came out at least another 20 min. Paying in cash i had to leave my seat and go to the register beause iwas paying in cash then the internet was out so had to wait another 10 min. Food getting cold. Made it home with cold food. Chicken was overcooked and touch, shrimp was good. Rice didnt have much taste. My experience was terrible but will provide them another chance to improve. Did i say my wine glass was dirty? Hard to recommend at this time.

This was our first time here at Sumo Japanese Steakhouse and we enjoyed the entire time. The hibachi table sits eight with the cook in the middle, and entertains us during the event. Very enjoyable and we’ll be back.

Great hibachi restaurant! Prices are very reasonable, especially compared to other similar restaurants. We were celebrating a birthday and the owner came out to make sure we were having a great time and took a picture with us! They even had a “throne” for the birthday girl to sit in for her meal. Ari and Libby were happy, cheerful and made our night memorable. Awesome vibe, great food and fantastic service!

We celebrated a birthday at Sumo Restaurant, and it was such a wonderful experience. From start to finish the food was cooked perfectly and full of flavor — every dish hit the mark and left us impressed.
Kevin made the night even more special. He was upbeat, energetic, and truly brought the celebration to life. Not only did he serve us with great care, he even joined in on the fun by banging the drum during the birthday song. His enthusiasm turned a simple dinner into a memory we’ll all laugh about and cherish.
This spot is perfect for a night out with family or friends. Great food, lively atmosphere, and service that makes you feel part of the celebration. Highly recommend stopping by for a meal and good time.

It was so good our server was doing a ton of tricks and was really funny and I couldn’t even eat all my food it was so much!

Sumo is a great hibachi option. The food is always good and a huge portion. The drinks are good enough. The ranch dressing in the salad was like they added water to make it stretch. That was unfortunate. The mushroom/onion broth/soup they serve is delicious if you like those flavors and light. The chef was entertaining and had good conversation throughout the experience. They are very accommodating to those with allergies and make sure there isn’t any cross contamination.
