I love the variety at Hungry Sumo whether I'm in the mood for sushi or other Asian foods. Met several friends here for lunch and everyone's been impressed with the food and the environment. Easy to access location on KK, friendly staff makes it a 5. read more

Had a great meal at Hungry Sumo. The tuna avocado tartare and pork belly bao buns were both excellent, and my spicy chicken basil noodle dish had just the right amount of heat and flavor. The ramen was also rich and comforting. Big shoutout to the staff, who were incredibly friendly even after our kid completely destroyed the table with food everywhere. Great service and a fun atmosphere. Definitely a spot we'd come back to. read more

The sushi was excellent--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and provided great service throughout the meal. Unfortunately, we had an issue with the manager at first, as they came across as rude during an interaction. However, after the situation was brought to their attention, they corrected it professionally and made a genuine effort to improve our experience. I appreciated that they took responsibility and worked to make things right. Overall, the food and service from our waitress were outstanding, and the manager's willingness to address the issue left a positive impression in the end. Because of that, I would definitely visit again and would recommend giving this restaurant a try. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Loved the Hottie Hottie. I was not a huge fan of the Green Curry as it was too sweet for me. They do not accept reservations so our estimated wait was around 1hr-1.5 hr so expect that during peak timing. There is street parking only but we found a close spot. I liked the dim ambiance of the restaurant. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

wish this were worth the 75 min wait... good and comparable to rice n roll but we felt sooo rushed as they were closing. we were told that we would have until 10pm despite them closing at 9:30 but around 9:20, they constantly were coming over/hovering and waiting to SWIPE away our plates. they handed us the check so quick. If they hadn't told us we had until 10, we probably would've rushed a bit more but it's not like we were taking our time either. there were 2 other parties still there too and we ended up leaving around 9:40. honestly didn't feel like I got to properly enjoy my meal. the pad see ew was good -- tofu a bit too firm but noodles were appropriately saucy. the hottie hottie was delicious though and stood out as an appetizer read more

- Good food, good service, good ambiance - no reservation could be made - 50 min wait! - Would love to come back and try more rolls and other entrees Great sushi that was worth the wait and served by friendly staff! We tried going a few weeks ago, but got there too late, so I am happy we were able to get a table this time around! I got the Thai Iced Tea to start and it was sooo delicious! It was brewed well and had just the right amount of floral flavor and sweetness. Always a tasty option! I got the Okie Dokie roll and the Sweet Monster roll. The Okie Dokie roll had something refreshing to it, which was an interesting combination with the chewier octopus that was the main protein of the roll. The roll was also topped with some tasty yellowtail and plenty of avocado that gave it some fatty flavor while keeping it light overall. Though it is listed as spicy, I don't think I remember feeling any heat at all. The Sweet Monster roll was a thicc and dense roll to contrast my first one. Fried crab, cream cheese, and mayo?! This roll had me feeling quite full after a few bites! It was quite delicious, though it did make me feel a bit heavier than I expected. They served it with the crab's claws(?) which was quiet tasty and fun to crunch on afterwards. My lady got the Negi-Hamachi and Drogon rolls for her set. While on the simpler side, the Negi-Hamachi was such a delicious roll with the fatty yellowtail tasting quite buttery to me. No notes on its simplicity other than it was my favorite! For my girlfriend's favorite, the Drogon roll had a nice sizable tempura in the center and lots of crunch overall! The sauce was also quite tasty and did not overpower any portion of the roll. Despite it being fried, this roll did not feel as dense as my Sweet Monster, so it was quite the treat for a cooked roll! The food was pretty good and exceeded my expectations despite seeing all the positive reviews. The staff was very friendly and kind with giving updates on our food and helped make our meal an enjoyable experience. The restaurant is decorated well with its bright artwork and it all blends well together to not be too loud. Overall, a great experience and I am looking forward to coming back! read more

This place is such a gem in Bayview. The food is really good, the service is splendid.

I also love the murals and music. read more

Hungry Sumo is one of my favorite Sushi restaurants in the Milwaukee area. The dining area is small and intimate so I always suggest going a bit early (or calling ahead if you have a large group) if you want to be seated right away as they don't take reservations. That being said, the staff does an excellent job at efficiency when dining in. The staff is always so kind, efficient and attentive which I appreciate. They are also very knowledgeable when it comes to allergy awareness too which we appreciate as my s/o is allergic to shrimp. My favorite rolls include the Philly and any of the sweet potato roll variations (I'm obsessed with the caramel sauce on top)! They do a fabulous job at creating sushi boards that are colorful, artistic , and delicious! The Thai iced tea is my favorite non-alcoholic drink if you are looking for a sweeter drink option otherwise their Sake options are always a great option too. Each of the apps we tried I would also recommend especially the Miso soup and edamame. Would recommend trying this spot out if you are looking for a wide variety of sushi rolls to choose from and other amazing variety of food choices! 10/10 read more

Fantastic find! Will return, no doubt. It's a small joint, and the energy is awesome. A warm buzz, a bit Bohemian, but (if you watch) a well-operated establishment that knows what it's doing. #1: sashimi set was awesome. Thickness of the cuts were perfect, and the four different fish were some of the best I've had in a long while. Absolute gem. The pork buns and the edamame were both fine, though a simple adjustment to each could lift both to A game (e.g., how about salting the edamame beyond a dash, and give the pork a bit of zing / cut down the fat a bit). Service was tidy, prompt, and what you'd like. Again, I'll be back. read more

Went there last night for the first time, I took my friends who have also never been there and it was excellent. The service was very quick and attentive. The food was very good, I had the special which was a duck ramen and I had a few Bami's. It was cooked perfect and the ramen was delicious. The ambiance was very chill and quiet which I enjoyed. Look forward to coming back this summer and trying more things on the menu. read more

Highlights 1. One of my favorite BayView restaurants 2. Great Sushi 3. Friendly Service This is hands down my favorite Thai/sushi place in BayView, MAYBE even Milwaukee. We get take out from here all the time (you can order online) and recently have ended up here on a few occasions for the lunch special. The lunch special (week days) is a total steal! You can get 3 sushi rolls for $17 or a 3 course lunch special for $15. Everything is always so flavorful, fresh and well-portioned. The staff is very knowledgeable about dietary restrictions (gluten free, vegan etc). They have a special menu with everything labeled. Service is always quick and friendly. Love this place! read more

Milwaukee has a lot of sushi restaurants and it's hard to differentiate them. Hungry sumo is one of the higher end sushi places to visit and is worth your while. I've visited multiple times, and each time the service has been great. The atmosphere is fairly casual. The rolls are well-crafted and perfectly balanced. My favorite item on the menu, however, is the sumo pork bun! read more

There is no better ramen in Milwaukee! They have my favorite crab wontons as well. Hungry Sumo is one of my favorite restaurants in the city and I have never had a bad experience.

Literally the besttttt sushi everrrrrr! Came here for valentines and it was just so cute. The waitress was very attentive and was very intelligent with the order of drinks and food.

We ordered this specialty sushi first and then we wanted more because it was so good and so we followed up with some of the classic sushi. read more

Excellent ramen with rich broth, fresh sashimi. Reliable quality. One of the best ramen in Milwaukee with a broth that is savory without a lot of salt.

My boyfriend and I went here for our anniversary. The restaurant is small and doesn't take reservations, so keep that in mind. We went at 5:30pm on a Tuesday and we ended up with the last open table. The service was very fast and super friendly. We received complimentary chips which were decent. They tasted like veggie straws. Then we ordered the cheese crab wontons. They were SO cheesy and had a great ratio of cheese to wonton. They are some of the best crab Rangoons I've ever had (crab Rangoons are my fav food). Next, we ordered the sumo pork buns. Again, these were very very good. The pork was a little fatty but that's how pork belly is. We decided to share the very crunchy roll. It was one of the best sushi rolls I've had. It had a lot of flavor and was cooked perfectly. For the main course, we shared the pad see ew. This dish was packed with flavor and the chicken was super crispy. I would 100% recommend this place to others. read more

Guess who's back, back again! Stopped by again to try more! They were not as busy as our first visit and we were seated right away! Glad we were able to have some our favorites and tried some new. We split a bottle of wine and enjoyed the Sumo Pork Buns (just as much as we did the first time), and some miso soup to get us warmed up! For sushi we enjoyed the Spicy Tuna Crunchy roll, Godzilla roll, Spider, and the Smoky Rocky. The smoky rocky was a hit, one of our favorites, the sweet potato added a nice element to the roll They weren't too busy and I feel like for a sushi place our food came out pretty quick. I'm sure we will be back for more! read more
