Hostess,waiters and bussers really do an excellent job. All are very attentive and friendly, food was delicious and we had plenty of sauce to go along with our meal. Will only be going here for sushi date night from now on.
Sumo is our favorite Happy Hour sushi place ! With the new remodel , it's a nice vibe ! Service has always been great though they are packed during happy hour. My go to is The Alaskan non baked and the dynamite . Soooo good ! I love that they still do happy hour despite today's economy . They even do reverse happy hour !!!
At first glance this appears to be a regular Sushi place. So I already knew what I was going to order. That being said it's hard for me to admit I have a shellfish allergy prior to ordering. Veronica our server made sure to notify the chefs & make sure precautions were taken in preparation of my groups meal. Preventing any cross contamination. An inviting dining are with 3 TVs for sports fans. I have to say everything including the service was pretty Amazing!! I will definitely be back!
Excellent service by Luis Octavio. We rolled deep for my sisters birthday party of 15 and he carried us from beginning to end! No complaints, just complete satisfaction. Food filled everyone up as this is one of our favorites for sushi spots to hit up. They have great appz to choose from and variety of drinks to make it a party! We were sat at the very corner where it was a little tight. Once you sat down, you can not get up unless you ask the person on either side to get up and so on until you reach the end. The plus side is there's not much distraction from anyone else. We loved Luis and we will be returning!
I haven't dined in at Sumo for quite some time so I can't speak to that, but I have been coming here for take out orders during happy hour pretty consistently since moving to the area about 5 years ago. Sumo is affiliated with the now closed Octopus chain that used to be in Encino that I loved as well as the currently open H2O in Northridge and Sumo in Newbury Park. They have a solid menu of offerings including your typical appetizers, some nice carpaccios, bento boxes, special rolls, etc. Sumo has decent food at affordable prices during happy hour and decent prices on nigiri all day. Sumo is not the place I would go if I am expecting the best sushi - it's the kind of place you go when you want a good deal on some Japanese food, and where the quality is good enough that it will still taste fresh. If you want top notch or more exotic types of sushi, there are better places in the area to go for that. Their happy hour rolls are where they shine IMO - very decent prices for good sized rolls. The sumo roll, snow roll, and salmon crunch roll are among my favorites. The only item I have had that I did not like was their sunomono salad, it was basically just a pile of soggy cucumber, it was sliced way too thin and had absolutely no crunch to it.
