The service was average and the decor was very nice...but the quality of food was a bit subpar. We had the golden chicken ramen with an extra side of pork belly along with the teriyaki salmon. The ramen was like chicken noodle soup with a thin broth. The egg was overcooked and...the side of pork belly was also overcooked. My Gordon Ramsey senses tell me that for something to be that hot yet that dry, with a rubbery texture where the outside perimeter is darker from uneven cooking..it was thrown in the microwave. (Think of when you cook leftover steak in the microwave for too long. Aside from that, the plate it was served on was just as hot as the side of pork belly that was sitting on it so...

This was my first Japanese food experience in the area, and Sumo Hibachi doesn't stand out on my list of memorable places to eat. The sushi wasn't bad, although I wish the menu mentioned it had wasabi inside. The spring rolls weren't bad either and went well with the sauce. However, the chicken with the hibachi plate was quite soft and chewy, which is less tasty than compared to a bit of char. The dressing on the salad wasn't very tasty either. The food itself warrants a star off. The other star deduction comes from the 18% gratuity at the end of the meal, regardless of party size. I've seen many restaurants add a mandatory gratuity for large groups (i.e. 6+ but it's quite rare that you're c...
Visited this restaurant on a weekday. Ample parking, and the restaurant was clean and had a good ambience. We decided to get the hibachi and we're seated in the back area. The waiter was knowledgeable and the service was quick. I wouldn't say the food was anything special or better that other hibachi places. I felt the soft shell crab was a let down. It didn't look like a crab but more like something that was fried in a square shape and cut up in slices. I ordered my steak rare, and it was good to know it was cooked to order. I think this place could do a better job in the order they cook food, it just took a long time for my entire order, and I could not enjoy all of it together at one time...
I really like this restaurant. I've dined in hibachi twice and enjoyed the meal and experience. And there's usually a coupon on groupon. I've been ordering their lunch bento boxes and they're definitely bang for your buck! Salad, soup, rice, main meat (I usually get the katsu), and a few pieces of shumai and california roll all for under $13 bucks. Everything is really tasty and I usually upgrade my rice to fried rice because I really like the way their fried rice tastes. Will be back for hibachi and also order their really great lunch specials! Book a table now
Had a good dinner here in july while in town on a Wednesday night. We were seated quickly and got our drink orders in promptly. We had a variety of rolls, all good, i had the yellow tail and spicy tuna. Servers were prompt and attentive. two issues: one, there were lots of boxes out in the open, clearly for their takeout side of the business, not a huge deal, but wasn't keeping with the look of the place, and the men's room didn't smell the greatest. Overall, would come again.
I hadn't been here for years but a friend wanted to have a hibachi lunch party so we gave it a shot. Our party of 9 was thoroughly pleased!!!!! The hibachi show, food, and service was all excellent as I remembered. So much food!!!!!!! And they provided a complimentary tempura ice cream treat with candles for our friend's birthday! This was such a great celebration for our friend and we all loved it! Side note: the strawberry sake cocktail is killer!
Delicious and fast. Beautiful decors. They have a large terrace too. Too bad they aren't open for dining in or on terrace. The place is beautiful, though. We ordered over the phone and picked it up ourselves. They said it'll be ready with 15 minutes. Guess what? Ready within 10 minutes! The sashimi sushi combo was great for a hot summer evening. The vegetable tempura was also delicious (surprise: there's asparagus!
We came to a Japanese restaurant for a 26 dollar plate of Panda Express-like food. It 's actually worse than PE because there 's charred bits from previous dishes. The fried rice had no taste, and soup was not made with real broth. It was a total disaster. In the end, the waitress sent us the bill and reminded us to tip adequately even though the service was less than adequate. Never will we come again. Book a table now
No happy hour anymore. Has a slight unpleasant smell in the restaurant. Kitchen water smell... not appealing. Maybe that's why many take out. Ordered an Alaskan roll and green phoenix roll. Not much flavor in either. Wasabi Wasn't spicy. Ginger looked old. Not much taste at all. Looks like this place has gone down hill. I won't be hurrying back anytime soon
The was good and the service was great but the ambiance was warming. The place is a must try.
