Lunchtime may be quiet here, but don't let anyone steal your joy! This spot is delicious and really delivers a great meal throughout the day. We went here for lunch and ordered the fried pork gyoza as an appetizer and it was fresh and tangy. We ordered the Spicy tuna roll sushi, the Chicken teriyaki with noodles, the Hibachi chicken and fried rice, and the Salmon hibachi. Everything was delicious! One could tell from the flavors that everything was made fresh, maintained great flavors, and was delivered in a timely manner by our server who was the utmost professional. This is a great find and I highly recommend it! read more

Crazy Sumo - Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Ellsworth, Maine

I've been here twice and it's always super yummy! Sushi is so so good, got hibachi once and was super good as well. This time I got the crispy chicken ramen, it had a miso style broth with delicious chicken and lots of delicious veggies, it was so good. These two rolls are the spicy tuna and rock n roll (eel and avocado). Both absolutely superb and only $6 and $6.50! I got a "special" more expensive roll last time ($16) and it was much larger than these rolls and just as yummy, so those are definitely just as worth it as well! read more

Crazy Sumo - Lobster and chicken Hibachi - Japanese Near Me - Ellsworth, Maine

OMG! What an amazing experience!! We called ahead to make sure myself and 6 family members could get a Habachi table and what a great idea to kick off a family vacation. The staff was fantastic!! The host up at the front were lovely. The staff who took our drink orders was very kind and on their A game. Our chef of the evening was Justin and we must say by far the greatest guy to be around! His food delicious!!! His attitude was amazing!!! The laughs we had was priceless! It wasn't a dull moment and we loved every second of it! The other group we sat was great as well! The outside of the establishment is a little run down but the inside is where it's at! Would highly highly recommend!!! Ask for Justin too if possible!!! read more

Crazy Sumo - Chicken and lobster hibachi Teriyaki Lobster - Japanese Near Me - Ellsworth, Maine

Ramen was fair. Crab rangoons were the worst rangoons I've ever eaten. Couldn't finish 1 of them. Was takeout so at least my chickens would eat them. read more

Worst steak ever. Someone told me how good the crab rangoon was but it must've been a bad batch bc ours was soggy and nasty with almost no filling! We tried it out twice and had an OKAY experience the 1st time but the 2nd was horrible! We went to see if this would be a good option over going to Bangor (Kobe) when family and friends visit.. it is not... Bangor is worth the trip! read more

We ate here a few months after this restaurant opened. The service was okay and the food portions are large. This restaurant is pretty busy all week and seems to be more popular on the hibachi side. We haven't tried the hibachi side but have heard the food is better compared to regular dine in. read more

Wanting to escape seafood for one night, we decided to stop in at this Ellsworth hibachi spot. Pros- portion sizes are very large. Cons- our server mixed up my order that was going to be chicken and steak. Instead it came out as chicken and shrimp. She brought the steak out later to correct. The steak and shrimp were good. The chicken seemed a little tough to over cooked. The fried rice was very bad. There weren't really chunks of eggs or veggies in it like you would normally see. Instead it was just oily soy sauce colored rice. The steak appetizer that my husband ordered came out later and was cold when it hit the table too. Overall it just wasn't the best experience at this spot. If you do go, be sure to wait to sit at the hibachi table side. My impression is that they do better service in this area of the restaurant. read more

I love the hibachi and food portions are very generous. Had a great experience with my family and the service was good, too. I'm going back for my birthday again cause I love the ambience and atmosphere Thank you Ismael! read more

We are here on a whim while on vacation. It was amazing! Food was fresh, flavorful and plentiful. I had chicken hibachi and hubs had steak hibachi. Salad was awesome as well. Our waitress was kind, efficient and seemed to love her job. read more

I've never sad down for lunch or dinner. Ive always ordered a lunch takeout. The food is very good at Crazy Sumo!

The food was ok. Rather bland tempura not cooked quite well enough. I didn't care for the ambiance being not to different from the original Denny's arrangement. Service was unremarkable. Not planning to return any time soon. read more

Great food and great ambiance, very personable chefs who remember us every time! I can't name a singular instance in the dozens of times we've been there where we didn't feel recognized and welcome. I can't imagine how uptight these other sad reviewers are, imagine being put out because you've ordered the cheaper option steak and SURPRISE it's not as good as the fillet. If you wanted top tier ingredients, you would have ordered that. Just admit that you're cheap and need an excuse to be a Karen and move along. read more

So we went here on a whim! Been to many similar type restaurants in the past including Benihana.... This place was by far the BEST!!! Maybe it was our chef "Tommy" who was fantastic. Not only was he entertaining you could tell he enjoyed what he was doing. I do not leave reviews but Tommy and this place deserves it! Just go! Maybe ask for Tommy :) read more

Great time tonight with Chef Happy Juston! Thank you so much. Delicious food and lots of laughs.

The ribeye looked like chopped up dog food that was super tough my wife's chicken tasted burnt and the crab Rangoon dipping sauce tasted like raw booze do not waste your time or money at this dump! read more

First visit and we chose to eat in the dining room. We ordered the Hibachi rib eye, medium. It was overcooked, globs of unappetizing fat on the plate not rendered out. The noodles and rice were pretty bland. The grilled vegetables were good. We ordered 2 cocktails. Service was good but the experience overall was disappointing and for the $100 + price tag we won't go back. read more

The food was very good! We made reservations for 8 and they were able to get us in . Yummy options and definitely will return .

Dine in is good. I had been several times with no complaints. However, when I went for lunch for hibachi, the meal was served with a large portion of sexual harassment. I made the mistake of taking off my jacket. The chef then stopped cooking & said he liked my tattoos(on my arms) & asked me "if I have any anywhere else"... with a wink. It was extremely uncomfortable. He then also asked me if I had any piercings anywhere that couldn't be seen. The entire table was uncomfortable. All I wanted was a good meal without sexual harassment. read more

Beware, the ribeye is not ribeye! It's something much tougher, and cheaper like stew meat! . Clearly! It's actually pretty insulting to call that ribeye! I will never go there again because of that. Such a letdown. You are lying on your menu! read more

Excellent service and great hibachi. Huge portions, fun chefs, and an overall pleasant experience. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to stop in on the first night of our first trip to Maine! Very tired from hours on the road, Crazy Sumo did not disappoint! The portion sized are HUGE so I had 2 meals worth of leftovers by the time we left. We got the Crazy Sumo for 2 and loved every dish! The chef was extremely kind and was interestingly from our home state. We sat with a lovely lady who told us she drives all the way from Bangor because she prefers Crazy Sumo! read more

The beast hibachi ever! Our chef, Juston, was excellent and very entertaining. Will definitely be returning.

Drove 35 min from Bar Harbor to eat here today. Arrived 20 min before closing and the doors are locked. There must be at least 20 cars still in the parking lot. Definitely don't adhere to their hours. read more

Good hibachi steak, ok rice, good salad, yucky soup, gross spring rolls. I don't know how they were THAT soaked in oil. Great hibachi meat, not so great other food read more

Does not provide enough sushi options. Service was good. Received a great view of one of the employees taking her dog to the bathroom (#2) while my table and I were eating. read more

This was our first time, we went for lunch. The menu was confusing. Lunch options on the back of the menu were limited. My sushi roll had some fish in the middle that was spoiled. The green tea and edamame were good. read more
