    Veggie Gyoza
    Michelle E.

    Whenever I eat something from Hungry Sumo, I fall in love all over again. I have never had anything bad here! I love the appetizers, noodle entrees, sushi, etc. I usually order take-out from here but tonight I decided to dine-in with my mom. My mom is vision-impaired and walker-dependent. When we arrived, Alex greeted us and opened the back for us to go through, so my mom didn't have to use the front steps. He also walked us to a table, made sure the table was stable, and held it for us as my mom sat down. He was very helpful, patient, and kind. He also walked us to the restroom and held the door. Our waitress, Becky, was also very nice and provided great service. We ordered the veggie gyoza appetizer, the veggie delight entree, Sumo pork buns, a Spider roll, and for dessert we shared the chocolate and green tea mochi. From the service to the food, everything was exceptional!

    Definitely a must try for everyone! I've been hearing such great things about this place and it lived up to those expectations. We were told it gets busy for dinner right away and with no reservations we decided to go right at dinner opening time. There was a line forming outside the door before they opened but luckily we were second in line and got seated right away. The staff is very friendly. They check on you often without rushing. Multiple people greeted us and then thanked us on the way out. All of their sushi options sounded delicious. I got the Very Crunchy. It was served with a fun presentation over dried ice. The sushi itself tasted amazing, even though sushi isn't my favorite. I got the Pad Thai for an entree and I honestly think it's some of the best Pad Thai I've had in a while in Milwaukee. The sauce to noodle ratio was spot on and the flavor was perfect with the right amount of spice. Portions were great as well. Overall, definitely make sure to stop by!

    Crispy shiitake bao buns and Thai red curry

    This was my second time going to this restaurant and the food quality still remains great! The ambiance inside was quite nice and the restaurant itself is very well decorated. The service was also great and very prompt. It seems like it is quite a beloved restaurant in Bayview as we had to wait 30 minutes to get seated on a Thursday night. I got the crispy shiitake bao buns which were $11. The buns were soft and the mushrooms were seasoned well and crispy. For my entree I ordered a classic red curry ($14) which was quite tasty and on par with curries I've had at other restaurants. Overall a great dining experience.

    Hotate Sushi

    It's hard to find a good ramen spot around town, everywhere just tastes watered down. However, ever since my fave spot for ramen stopped serving ramen, I had to find a different place. Hungry Sumo is the only place that satisfies my ramen craving in Milwaukee (and also serves pretty decent rolls as well). I've only been here twice since living here, but I definitely need to come here more often. Their tonkotsu ramen is the only one I get and I've never had a bad bowl before. During our most recent visit here, we (2) came around 12:30-1pm on a Saturday and was able to be seated quickly. We shared a Hottie Hottie (4.5/5, delicious and recommend if you like a kick) and ordered the tuna poke, which was a lot tastier than it looks, and the tonkotsu ramen. We were in and out in about 1.5 hours or so and had a delicious meal here. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a hot bowl of ramen and good sushi!

    Tom Kha Chicken
    Sarah K.

    This is my favorite Tom Kha in the city. Go and expect a wait, they will put you on a list and text you when ready. I recommend going to Crafty Cow across the street for a drink while you wait. I've noticed that the wait isn't as long as they say it'll be. Great sushi and other food as well.

    Crispy shiitake bun $10.95
    Roxie B.

    AMAZING 10/10! Hungry sumo has mastered the golden trio: ramen, poke bowl, and sushi. Top recommendations include the poke bowl ($17.95) which was a flavorful combination of seaweed salad, three types of poke, and veggies, AND it comes with a side of miso soup! Both ramen bowls were tasty! The spicy miso ramen ($17.5) had a generous cut of pork with minimal fat and definitely earned its name as spicy. Yasai ramen ($16.5) is a veggie friendly option which we love. Additionally, the sumo pork buns were both sweet and savory with a thick cut of pork belly ($11.95, shiitake $10.95) and the drogon roll had a crispy shrimp tempura ($14.5) The service was fast and waiters were attentive and accommodating for my friend who is a T1D. The ambiance was thoughtful including candles and dim lighting as the evening progressed. Perfect for a date night!

    My #1 restaurant in Milwaukee hands down! Love the fresh quality sushi for a reasonable price. Service is top tier. Love coming for lunch as it usually easier to get seating then around dinner time. Not to mention they have a great lunch special!

    Chicken Teriyaki
    Emma F.

    Come hungry, leave full! Although, expect a wait. We got there around 5:45pm on a Friday and had an hour wait. We overheard at 6:45 that it was a 2 hour wait!! Now is it worth the wait? YES!! We started with the Pork Buns, which are absolutely worth the hefty price. Then we had the crab Rangoon which were the best I've ever had. Every bite had the cream cheese filling and the dipping sauce accompanied the rangoons perfectly. Now for the meals. The Pad See Eiw I will quite literally be dreaming about. One of my favorite bites in Milwaukee. However, I was not impressed with the teriyaki chicken. It needed double the sauce!! The spicy crab roll was fine but I've had better sushi in Milwaukee. The pork buns, crab Rangoon and Pad See Eiw made this place a 5/5 so definitely consider getting one (or all) of those items if you check out Hungry Sumo!

    Tonkatsu Ramen
    Celeste M.

    I am a ramen connoisseur and sadly have yet to have amazing ramen in Milwaukee. While this was creamy and the noodles were good, the broth was just too heavy and thick. The umami was strong and could be of people's preference but not for me. The egg was overcooked and not as jammy, and the pork was okay. Great portion of meat compared to most places, but was honestly just an extra tender pork chop, not the traditional chashu pork cut of meat. Super busy place with great decor, I would come back to try the rolls that I have heard many good things about.

    Pad Thai
    Alyssa R.

    Service really stole the show friendly, fast, and incredibly observant. Our server gave fantastic recommendations and guided us through the menu to accommodate our requests. The tuna tartare was the highlight of the meal, both in presentation and flavor. I ordered the pad Thai with shrimp; the shrimp were a bit overcooked, and the rolls could've used a bit more flavor. That said, the overall experience more than made up for those small misses. Very cute spot with great service.

    Hottie Hottie
    Sarah K.

    The Hottie Hottie is fantastic!! Nicest staff and service is great! This is always a stop in the way to the airport.

    Adrienne N.

    I'm pleasantly surprised by this place! I've heard good reviews but never had a chance to stop by sooner. The sushi was delicious and you get a solid amount for what you're paying. I also had the ramen which was delicious, but I forgot to take a photo! The service was decent for a busy Thursday night. Make a reservation if you can but the wait is worth it

    Creamy Crab Wonton (6 Pcs)
    Shelby C.

    Food was amazing! Our service was actually quite slow, but the delicious food made up for it. I would definitely recommend the crab rangoons. It's a nice atmosphere, a bit small and there is usually a wait but the food is worth the wait

However, both mine and my husbands broth (I had the black garlic he had the pork) were not so great. Almost a metallic taste to them. Also, almost no vegetables in the Ramen.

They were very attentive. We did not complain about the food because we were hot and just wanted to hurry up instead of waiting longer. Also, they need to fix some of their tables that are very wobbly!

The White Tea was very good, especially on this cold afternoon. (5 stars). The shrimp tempura was just okay. The breading was a bit oily and did not adhere to the shrimp. (2 1/2 Stars). I ordered the seafood Ramen and loved the flavor and the freshness of the ingredients. The Scallops were extremely good, great taste, and cooked just right. (5 Stars).

We added the black garlic but I wasn't impressed and found it tasting and feeling like just charred garlic instead of actual black garlic or fermented garlic. I guess I wasn't sure what to expect but I wouldn't add it again. Lastly we did get to try the Fire sushi roll and this was the absolute highlight of the meal for me! I loved it so much I had to bring another roll home with me! I couldn't get enough!!! i would visit this place again. It was fun, delicious and chill.
