Came back for dinner this time. All you can eat, of course. And dinner did not disappoint. I did exactly what I said I would do and stocked up on my 2 fave items mentioned in my last review and then some. This time around, I got a few hand rolls and let me tell you, they stuff those things good! I got the CRYSTAL SHRIMP hand roll, CRABBY LADY hand roll, and RAINBOW hand roll. These hand rolls are a meal in itself. I wouldn't recommend getting these for AYCE because they will get you full real quick. The amount of fish they put inside is insane. The service here is ridiculously fast. I put in my order and like rapid fire, each plate came one after the next. So, maybe pace yourselves and just do a few items a time, versus 10 items at a time, like I did because we ran out of room on the table. read more

8/29/26 OMG 2 yrs since I have been and it was for a yelp event. We just don't make it down to Carson that much. I was hanging with my cousins and we wanted sushi and I recommended this spot of course. They hadn't been since New Ownership. We came in about 6 PM and was seated immediately. Sarah was our server and was Excellent. I believe she is one of the Owners. Correct me if I'm wrong!?! We ordered some Saki and Beer to start and order of Jalapeños Poppers and Mussels . They were delicious. Then we ordered a bunch of different stuff that I for the life of me can't remember the names of them all . (Pics with no descriptions) Sorry ! Everything we got was delicious and my cousins really enjoyed it as well. It was cool too that they had an outdoor seating area of just a few tables, which was really nice. Will have to come back soon so Delicious ! Enjoy !!!! read more

Such a great experience sitting at the bar! I met a friend here to celebrate her birthday over the weekend and was not disappointed. It was my first visit and all the amazing yelp reviews. Definitely suede my decision to pick this place over all the other options in Carson. First, parking is easy and the location is cute. Interior is clean and smelled good, and the wait staff were quick to greet us and seat us. Appetizers and drinks came quickly as well, and we were checked on frequently, although not too frequently. OK, the Sushi... So freaking good! I was amazed at how each roll truly feels individual, they are not using a premade base roll and putting a random fish and sauce combination on top of it and renaming it. The amount of fish in each bite was generous, flavor combinations were amazing, and I truly felt like this was a different sushi experience from any other that I have had recently. I will absolutely be making a trip back down just for this restaurant! read more

The food was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was uplifting. Service was impeccable. Joe Laub, the owner was so incredibly gracious and donated the meal to the 10 IDF soldiers that Warrior Gratitude brought to Tahoe for a week long retreat. (Warriorgratitude.org). We had a great time and will continue to support Sumi Sushi. read more

All I can say is you just have to come here! You won't be disappointed! It's all you can eat for $40 and well worth it! The guys making the sushi are absolutely amazing! It seems chaotic but they all know what they are doing! We sat at the sushi bar and was great! It's a small place but atmosphere was probably what you would expect from a sushi place. The sushi was so delicious. I can't say I've had better anywhere else and we've eaten sushi a lot of different places. read more

Sumi Sushi sliding back into my top sushi set after a recent visit with the family forced me to focus on the raw, fish forward offerings that were simultaneously free of anything fried, which led to some significant sushi discoveries! First off, nigiri. These are HUGE and they come with a sizable slab of sashimi cut fish on top too. Pro-tip is to order less than you think you'll eat, because the size is sure to surprise and they will fill you up quickly. Don't sleep on the specialty nigiri here OR he Scallop Supreme appetizer, which is seared scallop sashimi! Second, sticking with the size matters theme, the hand rolls. Spicy salmon, spicy scallop and scallop OG are all stellar, and you will be blown away by the amount of seafood stacked in these when they arrive. One is easily an entire maki roll worth of filling and you will be stoked when you sink your teeth in. I definitely ordered at least two spicy salmon hand rolls and should have had a third. Third, massive maki, perfectly proportioned and portioned for sharing. Do yourself a favor and order the Pink Fire with spicy yellowtail seared with togarashi, sesame oil, salt & pepper wrapped in soy paper, then topped with seared tuna, yummy sauce, teriyaki, ponzu, green onions, chili flakes, & sesame seeds. The Double Down is another winner with salmon, tuna, yellowtail on the inside, then topped with salmon, tuna, yellowtail, tobiko, avocado. FOURTH, don't skip dessert! Can you say house-made ice cream?? I can and I'd say it two or three times here if they'd let me. This stuff is SERIOUSLY good. Desserts are not an afterthought here and you need to save room. FIFTH, last but 100% the most important and not least, SERVICE IS STELLAR! Yes. They are on it. They love what they serve. They're a solid team and this place wins as a result! Take the short drive to excellent sushi! read more

Honestly when we saw this place, we thought "oh wow, another Gweilo establishment" but honestly was pretty impressed. We found parking right in front but do note it's a busy main street. The staffs were very busy, definitely overworked. Everything we ate was better than average, definitely surpised us as we come from the Bay Area where we get the best of the best sushi. read more

Sumi Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

Had lunch with a friend before doing Carson's Wine Walk. I am very critical when it comes to sushi. Sumi is the best sushi I've had in the area. Tge fish was fresh and the ratio of rice to fish was perfect. The lunch special left me feeling full and it was priced right. The servers checked-in frequent enough but not to a point it was annoying. The restaurant has setting in the front as well as the back where the sushi bar is. It would be great if Sumi offered patio seating and hope they will consider adding. Other than that, I look forward to visiting again. read more

I dropped by for lunch last week and to get my sushi craving out of the way; it's insatiable. I was greeted and seated promptly at the bar per my request and I sat in front of Charles. He was amazing! Friendly and offered fast service. One thing I enjoy about sitting at the bar is being able to interact with the sushi chefs. Charles and I chatted about our island roots. If you enjoy Hamachi kama, Sumi sushi does it right! I'll have to come back for this again in the near future. My mouth is watering writing this review. I didn't know the last visit that this was a locally owned establishment hence their clever name. While in on lunch I was eating next to one of the Laubs meanwhile enjoying the Laub special. He made small talk and we shared a laugh. I kind of like their set up with two bars, one in each room and the tables around. Food and Service was phenomenal. Thank you Charles and Valeria; I'll be back next time I'm on this side of Carson! read more

Wow! This place has the absolute best AYCE sushi. The fish was incredibly fresh and super high quality! The hamachi, escolar, and salmon was my favorite. The green lipped mussels were to die for but, beware, they include 4 per order which is not listed on the menu (hence this outrageous photo ) As others have mentioned, they have gigantic nigiri pieces so order half of what you usually get. This place does not skimp on fish in any of their items- especially their hand rolls. Scarlett was a wonderful, accommodating server who provided excellent service! Highly recommend trying Sumi! read more

Sumi Sushi - Hand rolls. Nice size! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

Food is mid, nothing special at all. No flavor other than soy sauce lol. But besides that, waiters are sneaky. They force a bigger tip on you by trying to pull a fast one on the tablets. Wouldn't recommend, wouldnt go back . Better off drinking soy sauce at home. read more

FOOD: - Lunch special was a steal! I like that it's available every day. - - Any 2 rolls for $20.95: we got the Laub Roll (4.5/5) and the Spider Roll (4/5). - - Sushi burrito for $13.95: you pick any roll and they make it into a burrito. We picked the Cap N' Crunch. 4/5 - Chicken Teriyaki: big portion. My son loved the chicken. He said it was the best teriyaki chicken he's ever had. It came with shrimp and vegetable tempura and miso soup. The tempura was nice and crunchy. 5/5 - Fried gyoza: 3 pieces. It was good but for the price we normally get 5 or 6. 4/5 SERVICE: Good service. Our bill came out wrong but it was corrected. 4/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: I would come back. The food was pretty good and the price was mostly fair. read more

The sushi here is great however the service is hit of miss. Out of the 4 times I've been here 50% the wait staff was somewhat neglectful and I had to ask for basics....drink, ginger etc. almost felt like i was a burden vs a customer read more

Just no. One out of four rolls was good, not great, but good. The search continues for a good sushi restaurant in Carson City. The ambiance is confusing for a sushi restaurant. Service was alright. read more

Had the pleasure of eating here a second time. The staff is so attentive and helpful, especially with my GF needs. Skyler, Patrick and Sarah were above and beyond. Sarah actually remembered me, even though it had been 6 months since my last visit! Generous portions, beautiful creations on the rolls, fresh and tasty all around. And, can we talk about vibes? The decor is great, the music is bumpin', the entire staff is in good spirits, and we were treated like family. Just a fun place to be. Worth the drive from Reno! read more

A bit disappointed with my visit to sumi. I've heard great things so I have been very excited to try. I just moved to Carson and figured it would be the perfect time to finally stop in. When we came in, we were one of only two tables in the whole restaurant but somehow got some of the worst service I've experienced in sushi. It was so slow, no one checked on us one time except the times I literally would flag people down. No one brought us extra AYCE sheets until I flagged them down. No one asked us if we liked our food. Only got our waters refilled one time. I didn't like my dessert I chose and had to flag someone down after 15 minutes to request something else. For how dead it was in the restaurant this was extremely surprising to us. I would have ordered more food but with how unbelievably slow it was we ended up running out of time. For the few non dessert rolls we did get to try, they were delicious! Which is why I'm giving 3 stars and not less. Food was great we really enjoyed everything we got. This place is the most expensive AYCE I've ever gotten at $40 a person, and for that price tag I can't imagine coming back to receive poor service. Also, one of the two servers working would go outside the front door to hangout and smoke with what I presume was a customer. It's fine to take a break but to do it one foot outside the front door smoking was pretty gross. We had to walk by to leave and it seemed very out of place and not what I would expect from a $100 dinner. read more

Has to be, hands down, the best sushi in Northern Nevada...just an opinion. A friend insisted we travel down to the capital city to check this place out. Well worth the drive! Decent sized place with bar and tables, vibrant atmosphere. We went on a Wednesday night and it was hoppin'! Got a booth at the front and even though it was slammed, we were attended to almost immediately. Great start. Ordered Freaky Edamame and Supreme Scallops as apps. The freaky has a nice kick, not salty at all. The scallops were cooked to perfection, buttery and tasty. Next on to the nigiri...salmon, smoked salmon, yellowtail, eel, seared tuna, upside down shrimp...more fish than rice...not your usual AYCE fish flavored rice. Super fresh and the smoked salmon....WOW!! Salmon skin hand roll was on point as were the rolls especially the Double Down. Finished up with a scoop of homemade ice cream. One of us had to try the apple pie roll...a little weird, deep fried...tasted....different! Parking was easy and plentiful and the experience was very enjoyable. Looking forward to our next visit read more

Went to Sumi Sushi with two friends, and we all decided to get the all-you-can-eat option. For our appetizers, we ordered the rice balls and the edamame. The edamame was actually pretty good and had a really tasty seasoning on it. As for the sushi, we tried a good mix of everything--nigiri, hand rolls, fresh rolls, and cooked rolls. While the food wasn't bad, none of the rolls really stood out to me as being exceptional or memorable. Everything was just okay. On the positive side, the staff was very nice, and the restaurant was very clean, which is always a plus. Overall, Sumi Sushi is a pretty middle-of-the-road place. Nothing was particularly great or particularly bad about it. read more

My server Delilah was the best! I use to come here with my mother and since she's gone, this is the first time back and I thought it would be sad but Delilah made the experience amazing, she was attentive, polite and just engaging, there were other staff to assist but she definitely carrying the team! I will be back again the next time I'm in CC. The food is always great! Jalapeño poppers, seared scallop, miso soup, upside shrimp, and super sexy rolls are always on point! The place is clean and the staff is nice! Don't forget the green tea ice cream to end it all (for mom)! Thank you Sumi Sushi read more

Among all the AYCE spots in Carson, Sumi is definitely a pricier one. But the quality of their fish and the variety of the options make your money worth. My favorite has always been the scallops, which is much better than other places. The staff there is friendly, and service is great! Recommend it for sure! read more

Sushi really seems to be the best in town. Or I at least haven't found one better yet. We usually do take out, and we went in once for dine in. probably some of the worst service I have ever received at a restaurant. Took forever to get any attention. It is definitely a take out place for us from now on. Fish was fresh and rolls were good. It's a specialty roll kind of place, not traditional sushi. read more

Order was placed by door dash. After 75 minutes for my family's order, as it was time to be picked up they cancelled my order. This is the second time I have order from Sumi the last time they forgot one bag with half my order. I will never order again from this gas station Sushi restaurant. Plenty of good choices in Carson City that actually want to take care of their customer. read more

Sumi Sushi - This is a picture of the food I didn't get to eat. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

Hard to beat good fish with competent sushi chef. Reno-style AYCE sushi is kinda its own thing compared to trad style sushiyas in CA, but I like it for what it is -- good fish, quality service, accessible rolls, all tucked in a lively sushi bar setting on the side street of downtown Carson. Also the new(ish) owners are retired lawyers who made this a passion project and it shows. Hehe at "Sue-Me". :) read more

We've been before. This time wasn't as good. Just seemed off for some reason. We drove from Reno so really wanted it to be great! Seemed a little longer for order to come out or maybe was the order it came out. Usually the nigiri comes first but this time very last and we had to ask if it was still coming out. Had to ask for water full. It was this past Thursday so maybe just an off night? Tried the Pineapple Express this time and glad we did. read more

Yes, yes, and yes! We've been coming here since they opened, and honestly, I've never had a bad meal. The sushi has just the right amount of rice, so you can try a bunch of rolls without feeling stuffed. And the fish is always fresh. The staff is super friendly, the portions are perfect, and the vibe is really welcoming. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

Long wait but food was decent. Thought it was very overpriced too for the amount of food you get. I'd say go all you can eat if you are getting more than two rolls read more

Ordered a Togo order and when I got it home it was missing an entire roll. I order 4 rolls and got 3. Went back in to get the problem fixed and never got an apology or anything. Just a " god catch", for how much they charge it shouldn't be my responsibility to catch their mistakes. Also I ordered 2 of the same rolls but none of the rolls look the same so clearly something got made wrong. Man it sucks this place has the best food but the worst service and experience. read more

Amazing food and service. I would recommend to anyone in the area. This is also the only spot I could find with an all you can eat option.

Hands down favorite sushi. Fresh, vibrant, and beautifully crafted. Worth the price!!

Can't spend a night in Carson City and not come to Sumi (Sue-me) sushi. TV's all around, the light's ambiance showcasing the food. Came on a Saturday Night and the place was packed. I was alone so they squeezed me in instantly. Joe Laub himself ushered me my first drink, I think he likes to help when his joint gets swamped. We had so much fun trading legal quips. Counselor Laub tossed me a piece of a fresh roll called a subpoena, when he told me the name I said gladly accepted being served. My server recommended Don Tom's which were egg rolls filled with crab, pretty tasty. I started with a Luke Skywalker, Joe told me the sauce for the appetizer was used by many on their sushi and he was spot on. It mixed well!! Next I ordered a heartbreaker Nigiri and lobster dynamite roll. When it came out Mr. Laub told me that the roll was an excellent choice. I replied "Your Honor the prosecution had to concede that roll was a good choice" to which he said "so ordered" This seemed to please others at the bar people were smiling and laughing along with us. He quickly came back a few bites in to confirm my elation with the order. Then he said "we just keep getting better and better" to which I replied "that's not hearsay, that's admissible testimony" ensuing chuckles followed and then the lawyer in him said "Res Ipsa Loquitur" and he went on to explain that it was Latin meaning: truth is so clear that it reveals itself without needing further explanation which left our onlookers in awe. Someone even asked me if I was a lawyer? I just said my server was making me look a lot smarter than I appeared. Filled and happy, I got my check and paid and Joe came back and shook my hand, and I noticed that everyone was quietly awaiting another exchange. It seemed like even the sushi chefs stopped what they were doing to look. So I said "on the charge of gluttony, I've decided to plead guilty to one count of Maki-Slaughter in the first degree" counselor Laub on his toes hit me with " that's unnecessary the court finds it was justifiably homicide" the room erupted! Come on down and have your favorite Law Firm feed you great quality vittles read more

We missed the Yelp Elite event here, and we heard it was the BEST event, so we wanted to give it a try. The place gets crowded quickly, but they are efficient in getting people seated and getting the sushi made. We sat right in front of one of the sushi chefs, and everyone was busy making sushi. Service is fast, so order a bunch of stuff on your first order. When the server is free, all how the restaurant got its name...lol. read more

This is a good casual sushi restaurant with friendly service. The all you can eat option comes with appetizers and dessert. Lunch was $30.95 per person. The nigiri sushi had very large pieces of fish... a little too big for one bite in my opinion, but the fish tasted fresh and the rice was cooked well. We also had a couple of long rolls, my favorite was the spider roll. It had carrot and pickled daikon along with the soft shell crab inside. We enjoyed the scallop and the mussel appetizers. They also have a couple of creative desserts included with the all you can eat menu. We tried the Strawberry Fields roll. It was yummy but if you've already had your fill of rice from all the all you can eat sushi you might want to skip this dessert. They offer several flavors of ice cream you could choose from instead. Note: This restaurant doesn't have its own parking lot but street parking is easy to find all around the block. read more
