First time here and came for Mother's Day meal. Reading the reviews, I knew what to expect, that…read morebeing it's an AYCE for $29.99 adult and there is no sashimi selection. Also, with these places, you are expected not to waste food so you should consume the rice portion as well. Fair enough and totally understandable. When I called, I was glad to hear that they would allow for members in your party to order à la carte as long as the folks partaking in AYCE do not share. That is a very good way of appeasing the entire party. Walking in, I saw a sign that says BYOB. Another plus but unfortunately I didn't bring any drinks. After my wife looked at the menu, she too opted for AYCE because getting an entree isn't that far off price wise. This is a Chinese owned establishment but nonetheless, the sushi selections are amazing and different. The wait service is prompt and always ready to take your order, and the AYCE came with unlimited soft drink per guest. We ordered a few appetizers and I will say I really enjoyed the spicy edamame as it has a very nice garlicy taste to it. A letdown was the lo mein as I felt it was too garlicy for some reason while my wife felt it was a bit bland. For the sushi selection, they have single sushi pieces, rolls which come in 6 pieces, and special rolls which come in 8. They also have some cooked Asian fusion dishes like General Tso chicken as an example. One advice is they do give a lot of rice in the sushi so when you place your first order, go easy as that will allow you to gauge your speed for the rest of the meal. Throughout the whole time, we were never rushed and didn't have to wait super long to get our order. All in all, very good place for what it offers and will give 4 stars overall.

The roll itself was falling apart, and there was no sauce added at all. I only ate one piece and immediately stopped because I was concerned about clear cross-contamination with fish. I did not feel comfortable eating the rest of it. For a vegetarian item, having a fishy taste and apparent cross-contamination is unacceptable. Definitely not an experience I would want to repeat.

We were going to a place nearby that serves 6-8 different types of cuisine that I didn't want to roll the dice with on a Saturday night. We had to park behind and walk by Steak and Steele to get there and she smelt steak and wondered where it was coming from? That was my opportunity to point out the Japanese style steak place! So we rolled the dice.... We sat at a traditional window table by the bar and were seated quickly. I wanted to do the teppanyaki table but she didn't want to deal with other folks etc on a busy night. The server was so nice and very down to earth. Fairly quick service overall. She had no clue about the ins and outs of this cuisine but she knew the menu well. I had fun talking with her and explained a few reasons for my questions about this type of dining that I know very well and she seemed to enjoy learning. Another server next to us seemed very much the same way and they worked well together with service. My wife ordered a really good Yuzu and I got a Sapporo draft. She loved that yuzu but to me it was kind of too sweet and I love sugary drinks. But I'd highly recommend looking at the bottle and finding one. $15 but this product category is not cheap. I prefer Kirin over Sapporo but it was good. We ordered steak and shrimp and steak and prawns, along with a spicy tuna roll extra spicy. The roll was Meh at best and not even really spicy at all but still tasty I guess and just above grocery store sushi grade. The food platter we got was F enourmous! Wow I just didn't know how to even imagine it when it showed up. We both opted for half noodles and half rice and the pile of these was immense. But it was about as good as say Panda Express or maybe slightly better however a huge volume. Protein was pretty generous and was seasoned pretty well and cooked at a good temp. The onion soup was mild but nice touch. Salad basic but fresh. I'd eat here again if ever in town again. The bar looked nice with four tv screens across from a group of stools in a line. Probably good for a drink and snack. But it just doesn't wow me other than really appreciating the great staff, value for the money, and an alternative to a dinner elsewhere I didn't care to try.

24 East Asian Bistro, or "Bistro" as we all call it is an experience. Sushi is fine - too expensive…read morefor what it is - but the experience goes beyond. They often host large events for Lehigh University groups and sometimes can get a little loud and chaotic, but I think this is mostly limited to particular days/times. Think twice about bringing younger kids as there are sometimes drunk and rowdy college students. On the other hand, if you're looking to host your frat/srat or club to have a party-like dinner, it's great! Food is okay but in my experience has taken at least 45 mins to over an hour to get food. This is because there was only one sushi chef for the whole restaurant. Overall, definitely a great restaurant for some people, and a bad one for others. Depends what you want to get out of it.

I don't want to show any pictures of this place, I don't want anyone loss appetite. AYCE menu? Totally not all you can eat, charge $30 per person, but ACYE menu are small and not much options to choose, forcing customers empty all single dish, sashimi came out like split half off of cuts in regular piece, and cut into thin slices as much as they can, meat qualities are sucks, they gave shits to people eat for the AYCE menu, I was wondering if the owner refused to let customers order more of sashimi, it can limit them and shows on menu underneath or raise up the price, or stop playing AYCE. Veggies salad tasted awful, don't understand why the home made sauce is way too sweet. Tastes so weird. Do they know how to make sauce? If not, please use the regular Caesar or ranch dressing to be good. Also the servers, cooks and sushi chefs will automatically cut off what you orders of amount on menu, they ain't mention to customers why or which items they ain't do it yet, they think customers are like donkeys, it was too tired to keep asking them what it missing and ain't came out yet. Ended up they automatically charged gratuities without notification. Even I know auto grats will charged on big parties, but still as a server or manager they can notify people came sit down before decided order AYCE or menu's, I don't mind to tips, and I do tips for real, also we tipped sushi chefs in separately, but all entire times there we no one is enjoyable, this place sucks, totally not recommended, and never return it back for sure.

My girlfriend ordered the sweet and sour chicken, along with 2 eggrolls, which she loved. I had sushi (Salmon Sample and Sushi and Sashimi Combo B) that was really wonderful. Even though the pieces of fish were smaller than I'm accustomed to, the quality was high. I'm also used to having cooked meals and sushi meals delivered at separate times, but both plates got to our tables at around the same time. Besides serving Chinese and Japanese food, there are some Thai dishes as well. On our next trip, I will give their rolls a try -- and I'll make certain to get that stellar Salmon Sample once again.

Came to Sumo on a Saturday night after a long drive, just in town to fly out of the local airport…read more We arrived an hour before close; While the "open" sign was on, there were no patrons in the restaurant and they appeared to be shutting down for the evening, cleaning and mopping the floor, but the friendly host insisted that it was ok and we may come in to enjoy a meal. The wait staff was clearly not happy about this, as they were a bit snippy in their interactions with us-- a bit disheartening, again, as there was still a whole hour before they were scheduled to shut. Thankfully, for them, our order was pretty simple. We both ordered a miso soup, house salad, and shared an avocado roll, and tempura plate. The avocado roll was perfect; ripe and thickly-cut avocado, not too much rice, and rolled tightly so it didn't fall apart. The miso soup and salad were good; they soup was a pinch bland, but nothing a few drops of soy sauce can't fix, and the dressing on the salad was delicious. The items in the tempura plate were fried in different kinds of batter-- given it came out pretty fast, it made me suspect different pre-packaged varieties, but it was a tasty and simple dish so I was unbothered. The next day, we ended up coming back before our flight for a quick lunch. Same treatment; Very nice host, curt wait staff-- Either they remembered us as the couple that kept them from leaving early the night before, or that's just how they are. We ordered the same thing, minus the tempura plate, and plus a yellowtail carpaccio. Everything we ordered previously was just as good as the night before. The carpaccio was good as well; Nothing to write home about, but the fish was fresh and the sauce was tasty. As this was the only restaurant we ate at during our brief stint in Allentown, I'm overall happy with our experience-- minus the demeanor of the employees. While I highly doubt I'll ever find myself in Allentown again, I would certainly dine there again if the opportunity presented itself.
