I've been to Sumo Hibachi & Sushi (SHS) a few times now and it's become one of our go-to places…read moreamong the handful of Asian restaurants in Richmond Hill. I like it because it's fast, clean and decent food. After a long day of hopping around all over Savannah, I wanted to feed my kids something quick, but also something they liked, so we stopped at SHS before heading home.
- Parking -
Center lot with ample parking.
- Vibe -
It's simple and modern with a few pieces of Asian themed decor. What I love about Sumo is that it is kept clean and more importantly, the bathroom is clean.
- Service -
The service has always been fine. Most of people at the cash appear to be young students and not the most engaging, but they do the job. You order at the counter, pay and sit down. If you order a fountain drink, you help yourself to the fountain machine by the condiment area. They give you a wooden number marker and once the food is ready, they bring the food to your table. They also clear away your dishes once you are done.
- Eats / Refreshments -
Lemonade - It's a fountain drink and it was as expected, the right balance of syrup to water ratio.
In the past, we've had:
Miso Soup - small cubes of tofu and seaweed, good flavor.
House roll - tuna, avocado and cucumber with Eel Sauce, good.
Eel Roll - Eel with Cucumber with Eel Sauce, also good
Tokyo Roll - (8pcs) Shrimp Tempura, snow crab, topped with tempura, salmon, avocado, spicy mayo and eel sauce, good
Kid-Friendly - They don't have a Kids specific nenu, but my kids have shared a Teriyaki Chicken plate before. Cubed chicken with Teriyaki sauce with a bowl of rice and Stir-Fried Broccoli.
Last weekend, they each had an Express Bowl in the small size. The price for a small is on par for a Kids' meal and the food is definitely a generous portion for small children. The Express bowl is a base of fried rice and that's exactly what they mean. It's rice that has been stir fried in the wok with just soy sauce. No vegetables or egg. Then it's topped with the protein of your choice. The only issue I had was that the picture on their menu board of the bowl is chicken served on top of rice, but with broccoli. My kids love broccoli, so I ordered that thinking it's the perfect meal because it has the rice, protein and portion of veggies. the shrimp one came with 3 very tiny sections of broccoli, but the chicken just came with rice, no broccoli. I asked one of the guys and he said that the shrimp bowl is the only one that comes with broccoli, so clearly the picture on the menu board is not what it looks like. Maybe it was a stock image they used to make the board? The rice is a bit on the heavy side too. Way too much rice and I told my kids to just make sure they eat the protein.
SHS is one of the more decent places to get asian food in Richmond Hill. They don't have a huge menu, but it offers exactly what their name says. It's fast, clean and more importantly, reasonably priced. We always leave satisfied.
