10 Reviews on “Sumo Japanese Steak House”
I loved and frequented this place until recently when I had a very bad experience. I went with my boyfriend and his mother, we ordered sushi when we first came in, our entrees were already done when I had to ASK the waiter where my sushi was… needless to say she brought it and it was warm and mushy, when I asked for a refund she refused. I was too appauled to even say anything. We ate and the food was less than palatable. After we went home I got very sick. I don’t understand what happened to this place.. its a shame I won’t return as I usually went every month.
Sumo is THE BEST restaurant I’ve ever been to. The food is great, the cooks are great, and the location is great. I live in southern Maryland but I go down to Virginia beach for my birthday just to eat at Sumo. I love the pineapple boats they give to people for their birthday. Oh, and the people that said they were sooo disappointed with this restaurant.. You’re obviously retarded. For two reasons. First reason, the decorations and the plates have nothing to do with how good this restaurant is. It’s amazing food all the time. And the second reason, I’m almost 19 years old and I’ve been going to this restaurant for my birthday every year since I was 10. So it’s been open way longer than may 2011. You need to stop. In closing, this place is freakin awesome and I will never stop going. 🙂
VERY DISAPPOINTED. When we walked in, the decor screamed of Japanese Waffle House. Very limited furnishings, and the furniture, plates, and silverware were cafeteria-type at best. The hostess/bartender was quite unattentive and slow. The food was fine, average Hibachi, you can’t really go wrong there. But I can’t say enough about how low-end this place seems, when we were expecting something way more high end and memorable. I’ll drive through the tunnel to Newport News before going the 1.5 miles it takes to get to Sumo again. I also don’t know why some of the other reviews say they’ve been going here for years when it only opened sometime around Halloween 2011; certainly not before May 2011, because that’s when I moved here, and Sumo didn’t exist then. Not this Independence Blvd. location anyway.
Great place. I have been going to this place for a few years and they have never disappointed me.
LIFELONG member. Have been going to this place since it opened. The owner Sumo – used to be at Shogun at Hilltop as a chef and opened this place with his brother. Love the entire place and when I am not in the mood for sushi only I come here. The filet and shrimp with fried rice is the only thing I get. Perfect each time. The dipping sauces, the soup, and the salad dressing do not compare to any Japanese steakhouse hibachi style that I have ever been too including Benihanas in Hawaii which was double the price and half the portion and not as good in the least. Great for family get togethers or go and eat by yourself! Always someone at the grill top tables to talk to. Tuna Tataki is wonderful!!!! Great Staff as well.
Sumo has the best sushi in the area! The sushi is so fresh and the staff is so friendly! Sumo also has the most entertaining hibachi chefs!
Enough food for a Sumo Wrestler. Rule #1: Go hungry…Sumo, the owner, ensures you get plenty of food.Rule #2: You are going to spend about 20 bones for a plate anyhow, so I’d recommend springing for either the filet mignon or scallops (or both) for an extra 5 or so.Rule #3: Interact. Don’t be afraid to encourage your chef to show you interesting things. The experience, after all, is part of what you are paying for and can be a good reason for a larger tip.
