very pleasantly surprised with the quality! good mix of sushi and cooked options, so there's something for everyone. we went with the premium option (entire table must choose the same option). wait for a tuesday evening was about an hour for 3 people. write your info on the clipboard at the door. there are outdoor tables to sit and wait at. the restaurant is pretty small, so there aren't many tables. i feel like it's best to come with 4 or less people given the space. you have 90 minutes to eat (we were pretty full after 60 tbh) and can order up to 2 rolls or 10 items per round. the food comes pretty quick and they don't cut corners by hoping you get full off the rice!! i think they have a machine that pre-prepares the size of the nigiri rice so it's all uniform (and appropriately sized) and also why orders come out fairly quick. if you're just looking for max quantity of food, the regular AYCE is totally fine. but if you're wanting premium options, it's worth the price! just know that some premium items have caps on them (like uni is one per person only). service was attentive! BYOB!!! they don't sell alcohol, but allow you to bring your own.

We came here and tried the basic AYCE option at about $35. There was a pretty good number of options on the menu from rolls, nigiri, salads, soup/noodles, fries, appetizers, etc. I was not expecting much for the quality, but we were surprised how good the quality was for an AYCE place. The only down sides were that my 5 year old daughter (who only likes edamame lol) was still $16.96 lol, and also, it was extremely warm in there - both us and other tables we're sweating and fanning themselves with the menu. Overall though, we enjoyed this place and will be back :) We love that parking was easy as well (garage parking)

Sushi lovers unite! It's so nice to have another AYCE sushi place in town. The location is on Keeaumoku so it can get busy! We had a party of 4 and put our names down a little after opening. We waited maybe 30ish minutes as there were groups ahead of us, some left cause they didn't want to wait longer. The restaurant itself is pretty small. You can tell they aren't able to accommodate big parties and if you do, there's a good chance you'll be seated separately. But the food is made fresh to order, so I can imagine it can be hard to serve big groups. The menu is pretty straightforward. We opted for the premium menu, which allows us to order from the red items as well. The ones with the number next to it indicates the limit you can order (not AYCE). But if you have others in your group who don't want it, just take their share. They have many different items to order so it's great for picky people too! They also offer take out, but it will be regular priced, not part of the AYCE. The dishes were presentable and fresh! In some AYCE I've seen, they go more for quantity than quality. Sumos is definitely quality. I highly recommend! There may be a wait to dine, but it's worth it!

My 2-year old said she wanted sushi for dinner. So I was like perfect let's try Sumo instead of going to Genki again! They do not take reservations so I called ahead of time to see if there's a long wait. They said no. Ok let's go! I parked at the condo Azure (entrance to parking on Keaamoku) and it was free! Take the elevator down and that will take you to an exit right next to all the restaurants. So I arrived Sumo around 5:20. There were 2 empty tables so we were seated right away. My daughter got to eat free yay! (I'm not sure the cutoff age but when I told them my daughter is 2 they just said free) So there are 2 options: classic ayce $36.95 and premium ayce $46.95. I chose classic ayce and to me that was good enough I already got many items to choose from. I tried some nigiri, appetizers and rolls and they were all surprisingly good. The fish was good and they gave you big pieces with just little bit of rice so they're not trying to fill you up with rice. Service was fast and attentive. Servers were very friendly. Even got free ice cream at the end. Will definitely come back. Hopefully they will keep up with the good quality of food and service!

Food: 3.5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Parked on Makaloa Street for free, which I do not recommend. My friend and I felt anxious walking back to our car due to the passerby people. I think other options could have been parking at Walmart and walking over. We walked in at around 4:15pm on a Friday and we were seated right away. We chose to do the classic AYCE ($36.95), which consisted of us ordering a bunch of appetizers, nigiri sushi, and a premium roll. I do not recommend the crispy rice because it falls apart and it's just a bunch of spicy tuna slapped onto a small bed of rice. I liked my seared salmon nigiri's. The premium roll we ordered was the "Be Happy Roll" which was good but a lot bigger than we were expecting. We finished our meal with Ube Melona, which is part of the AYCE menu. The menu is pretty similar but limited compared to the AYCE sushi places in Las Vegas. I am wondering if this Sumo AYCE Sushi is related to the ones there. For $36+ AYCE this place was underwhelming. I do still recommend trying this place and deciding for yourself if it is worth it. If you do come here, come hungry because there is a lot to eat!

Cute little AYCE sushi on Ke'eaumoku St (same building as the Azure condos). Entrance to the parking lot of off of Ke'eaumoku (but we didn't try, and found street parking on Makaloa). Ala Cart or AYCE; 90 minute max seating with two price points, Classic $36.95 and Premium $46.95. Servers were attentive, everything we ordered came out in a timely manner. The only "different" thing I'd like to point out is that each round had a max order of 10 items. Totally understand why they do this. As a party of four, this did make ordering everything a little longer than anticipated. Bathrooms are not in the restaurant! Ask the servers for directions and the code, cause that's a mouthful to type out lol.

6/10 Very "mainland" ayce sushi spot. Owner is Korean- I found most of the sauces to be too sweet for my preference. We got the 36.99 ayce option. The best thing there was surprising the "stuffed tomato" which was salmon wrapped around imitation crab and the plain ahi and salmon nigiri. Fish quality isn't great but exactly what you would expect at ayce. Inside: Previous location where Domo Cafe was, TINY sitting area- maybe 20 ish people max and the tables were pretty close to each other. Service is alright, some were friendly and others seemed like this is their first job ever (which is totally ok!) LOL Parking: Convenient location with lots of parking in the Azure building.

Definitely recommend! Sushi is great, they don't give a ton of rice for a AYCE place, and you get a honeydew melona bar for desert. They are in their soft opening so only Dinner from 4-10pm for now. We had to wait 50 min, but it was worth it. We got there at 8pm, signed our name on the list, and got in right before their last seating at 9pm. I'd recommend being there by 7pm cause it's first come first served and there's only approximately 9 tables (rough estimate). Service is great. They explained the menu. For our table of 2 we were able to order 2 rolls and up to 8 other items at a time. Normal AYCE rules. 90 min and finish all our food. Food came out fast and they quickly got in another order. The staff was very attentive when we asked for another water pitcher and more ginger. Kind or a rough area to park. I'm not sure if they have parking but we just parked in a metered stall on the street. They also don't have beer, wine, or sake there yet in case you like to accompany your sushi with libations.

Dinner in Honolulu, Hawaii... It was challenging to find someone to go with me to this new All You Can Eat sushi place on the ground level of the Azure condominium building on Keeaumoku Street, but my friend from Virginia was in town and she said she was game! We've known each other since the First Grade! I knew where the free parking was - go up the ramp from Keeaumoku Street and park in the stalls marked for the retail shops... not the guest stalls, because those are for guests of the residents. We didn't have a reservation, so we walked in around 4pm when Sumo AYCE Sushi opens. We easily got a table for two. Our server went over the two menu options with us. We both chose the Classic Menu for $36.95 plus tax and tip. We could order up to ten selections, including one roll, at one time. Our server had some issues counting and twice we received items that we didn't order. We were able to stay more than the 90 minutes limit - thank you! It was a bit noisy for our catch-up conversation, but the environment was clean, air-conditioned, well-lit, and modern. I think the smokiness from the open kitchen grilling or frying affected my eyes. They were tearing and felt irritated. The food was alright. We liked the lemon salmon, bulgogi garlic bread, salmon collar, melona bars, salmon skinbroll, and salmon carpacio the best. The garlic ahi and garlic salmon had a slight kick to them. The squid, shrimp, octopus, vegetable tempura, imitation crab, shrimp tempura, lasagna roll, edamame, and cucumber salad were okay. Overall, it was a fun experience!

Just recently open Sumo AYCE sushi located at the corner of Keeamoku and Makaloa ground floor of the Azure condominium. This spot was the old Debu restaurant that didn't last too long . This AYCE Sushi has 2 different prices $36.95 & $46.95 the higher price you can order premium sushi 1 order per person . Premium for example will be Uni, oysters, yellow tail , sweet shrimp , yellow tail collar. No reservations accepted only walk in also all of your party must be present. It's a very small restaurant so be prepared to wait a little for a table . Luckily my friends and I got there around 5pm so we waited only about 10mins and got a table . Free parking available inside the Azure building entrance on Keeamoku . Service is pretty quick once you put your order in your sushi comes out right after . I was surprised for a volume sushi place the quality was not bad at all . Although they have the machine to form the rice it's not the real authentic sushi chef style lol . My favorite was their Garlic Tuna and the garlic Salmon. For dessert they have Melona bars Melon and UBE flavors. If you're looking for quantity sushi at a reasonable price this is the place .

Went here on a whim, found some free street parking and walked over. It wasn't busy yet when I came, this was maybe around 6:30. I was seated right away. Stand-out for me was the service. It was refreshing to see all the servers pretty much just helping everyone. Never once did I get told "let me call your server". Everyone just jumped right in. The flow was easy enough, you can order a maximum of 10 things from the front of the menu at a time. I didn't actually check what the limit was for the back part of the menu. Food came out pretty quickly and they got my orders right. The yuzu yellowtail and yuzu salmon were really bright, and the rest of the nigiri were not bad. Was this the best sushi I've ever had in my life? Not even close. But for the price and for what you get, I think it's worth the trip. What I liked was that the rice in the nigiri was small and appropriately proportioned to the fish slices. They also had A LOT of options. I got the Premium AYCE and I figured that if I ate maybe 7 things, I would've made up for the price. Well, I ended up eating 21 things! My big mistake was ordering the lobster roll. I was doing really well until I ate that and BAM! I felt like a brick just landed in my stomach and I could not eat another bite. It made me uncomfortably full which is something I always hate. If not for that, I would've been completely fine. So, pro tip: DON'T order anything with cream cheese or potatoes in it, try to avoid anything fried or super heavy, or any of the rolls, if you want to maximize the AYCE experience. Those things are PACKED and you will get super full right away. For the price, you might be better off doing those à la carte and saving the AYCE for the nigiri, carpaccio, and collars. You can also get a melona bar for dessert which was a nice palate cleanser. The ambiance is simple and pleasant, it can get a bit loud but you can still have a normal conversation through the din. It did get pretty busy around 7 or 7:30, and a line was forming when I left at around 8. All in all, it was a pleasant experience and it was a nice addition to the multitude of restaurants in town.

First time here. Arrived around 4:30pm on a Sunday. Sign up sheet showed next available was at 6:30pm. It looked like people are getting in slightly earlier than scheduled though and we got in at 5:30. It's depends on how fast people eat and leave. It's brand new so it's nice and clean. There's free parking in the building, but only limited stalls for the retail customers. There's seats outside for people waiting. Service was good. Didn't have to wait for a server to take our order. Food was ok but it is a AYCE place so not expected a lot. Fish was fresh but spicy tuna was mush which wasn't a great texture. Lots of variety. We made the mistake of not looking closely at the back of the menu for more options. I'll may comeback later when the hype dies down and wait time isn't so long.

Not a locally owned business! The wait list was long and we missed their phone call by 2 minutes. They immediately took us off the list and said we had to re-join at the very bottom. I wanted to support this business since I heard good things but that already tells me they don't have a local mentality
