    Plain dog with tots
    Jason E.

    Tasty and quick. I was on a wine tasting kind of day and didn't want anything to big to fill me up, thank goodness for sumo dog! It's located in the Oxbow Market and hit the spot. I got the plain dog with a side of tater tots, goodness it was so good! Perfect to enjoy in the car and not make a mess. The gentleman that took my order was super quick, knowledgeable of the menu and knew how to have a conversation. That's so rare these days.

    We had the chicken katsu and the sumo chopped cheese. It was Sumo Hour so it was $7 each. Both sandos were good but I preferred the chicken. Next time will try the hot dogs.

    This is a pretty good fusion eatery with a mix of Japanese, Korean, Mexican, and American. You'll have the typical hot dogs, burgers, a burrito, and sandwich mixed with Asian ingredients such as Sriracha, shredded seaweed paper, kewpie mayo, etc. It's not bad at all but not one of my go-tos. I ordered a chopped cheese burrito which tasted odd at first because if the texture but I got used to it. It was decent but I would've just gotten a hot dog instead. My wife enjoyed their sumo dog and my son liked his plain cut up hot dogs pieces with bread. We thoroughly enjoyed their crispy and fresh tater tots dipped in spicy mayo. Sumo Dog is one of the only good eateries inside this venue; there's not much to choose from. It's also one of the cheapest selections by price.

    Very GOOD! I don't eat hot dogs but I really enjoys the food at this restaurant. I had the Miso Katsu which is a signature Japanese-style fusion hot dog with a breaded and fried beef hot dog. The coleslaw on top is delicious and had a good crunch. Lemongrass lemonade was pretty good too. Service could use improvement. The gal wasn't helpful or welcoming. She gave us our food with no eye contact, and she just quickly walked away. Hubby asked for water and she seemed annoyed. Counter seating is available at the store front. I would definitely eat here again and try a different dog.

    Best hot dog I've ever had. Pricey but spectacular, would gladly pay for a dozen. Miso katsu dog 10/10 god bless America Godzilla dog 10/10 god bless America Breakfast burrito 10/10 god bless America The foods so good I can't even describe it. I usually only buy hotdogs from Costco or food carts, but these were some extraordinarily elevated bites of heaven. Happy to be a glizzy gobbler here. 10/10 would recommend

    Sumo Dog is a relatively new kid on the block at Oxbow Market, and after learning a bit about its history, we had to give it a go. The concept is a co-creation of Jeffrey Lunak, a disciple of Iron Chef fusion master Masaharu Morimoto, alongside partner Nic Adler, owner of the legendary Sunset Boulevard music venue The Roxy. Sumo Dog has also earned a reputation as one of Coachella's hottest food stands. After perusing the menu, we both landed on the signature Sumo Dog. It comes fully loaded with pickled peppers, wasabi relish (which I totally wish they would bottle), spicy mayo, teriyaki sauce, minced onion, furikake, and kizami nori all piled onto The Godzilla, a juicy all-beef hot dog. There's a lot going on flavor-wise, but it mostly works. Sweet and salty notes play well together, the richness of the wasabi mayo is nicely cut by the acidity of the pickled peppers, and the hot dog itself has a great snap and stays juicy despite all the toppings. Pro tip: walk two stalls over to the Oxbow Wine & Cheese Merchant and grab a glass of bubbly. Surprisingly, sparkling wine makes an excellent chaser for a rich, indulgent dog like this and keeps the Napa vibe alive. Fun, flavorful detour from wine tastings. Definitely worth trying if you're at Oxbow and in the mood for something different. Happy Eating!!

    Stopped by Oxbow Marketplace while exploring downtown Napa and grabbed lunch at Sumo Dog with my family. I loved the lively atmosphere of the marketplace, and we were able to snag a seat right in front of the counter. I ordered the Sumo Chopped Cheese, which comes with an Angus beef patty, onions, peppers, American cheese, shredded lettuce, and tomato on a potato bun. I appreciated the balance here--the lettuce and tomato ratio helped keep the sandwich from feeling too heavy, and the cheese was perfectly ooey-gooey, and especially delicious paired with the onions. Flavor-wise, it was solid and satisfying. That said, for $14, it didn't quite feel worth the price. There wasn't anything about this particular item that really delivered on the "American classics redefined with Japanese ingredients" concept. I know hot dogs are their main focus, but even so, I expected a bit more creativity or a unique twist on a chopped cheese. Overall, I'd give it an 8/10 for taste, but factoring in the price and lack of uniqueness, it lands closer to a 6.5/10. I might try one of their hot dogs next time, but if I'm being honest, I'd take an In-N-Out cheeseburger over this.

    Was strolling by Oxbow market and decided to explore places inside and came across SumoDog. 5/5 miso katsu beef hot dog - its creamy delicious lettuce on top of fried hot dog. I was hesitating initially but then decided to get it based of host recommendation. It was hard to pick due to its volume. Advice is to have them cut it in half and use fork to scoop some of the lettuce as a salad. 4/5 fries -basic and salted. It's what you would expect. Overall a good place.

    Banh Mi, Miso Katsu, and Plain Dog
    Girlie M.

    This spot reminded me of Japadog but with a fun twist -- a fusion of Asian and island-inspired flavors. It's a new stand inside Oxbow Market that instantly caught our attention, so we had to give it a try. They offer a variety of Japanese fusion hot dogs and even sandos on the menu. We ordered the Bacon Banh Mi, Miso Katsu, and Loco Moco hot dogs, plus the Chicken Katsu Sando. Everything was packed with flavor, but the standout favorites were definitely the Katsu hot dog, loco Moco, and chicken Katsu sando. Each item had bold, balanced flavors, and nothing disappointed. Price felt reasonable for the portion, quality, and creativity. If you're visiting the marketplace and want to try something unique, this spot is definitely worth checking out.

    How can you not love Sumo Dog when their motto is "Happiness is a warm bun"!. Sumo Dog takes the classic American hot dog and gave it a Japanese twist. Their menu caught my eye as I browse all the options in the Oxbrow Market. I tried the Godzilla dog (Footlong All Beef Hot Dog, Beef Chili, Togarashi Cheese Sauce, Wasabi Relish, Pickled Peppers, Spicy Mayo, Teriyaki Sauce, Furikake, Minced Onion, Jalapeno, Nori) and it was a home-run for me. So many flavors all together, and made spicy with the japapeno. The prices are reasonable too. I got to try the other interesting items when I am back in Napa.

    Chicago dog and tater tots
    Jocelyn L.

    Sumo Dog is a cool quick eats fusion place at the Oxbow! I ordered the Chicago dog and thought it was good and it made me eager to swing by again to try their speciality hot dogs. I love their tater tots and thought it was a great side.

    The presentation of their hotdog is great. We ordered 3 different kinds of hotdogs. We had the Sumo dog, Miso dog and Chicago dog. The toppings works well with the hotdog and it tasted good. The service is quick and the staff are nice. I will try their other stuff and the location is awesome.

    Ever since I ate a Japa dog in Vancouver, Canada, a couple of decades ago, I have been a huge fan of Japanese style hot dogs. I try to order them whenever I come across a hot dog restaurant that sells Japanese inspired hot dogs. I arrived at Sumo Dog for a Sunday late lunch. The restaurant is located inside the popular Oxbow Public Market in downtown Napa. Parking is easy and accessible in the large parking lot. Since Oxbow is a food hall, you order at the counter and eat your food at the community shared tables. We ordered several hot dogs for our party. I ordered a Miso Katsu hot dog with an Angus beef frank and it was delicious. The breaded fried hot dog was different but had a good flavorful texture to it. All the condiments went very well with the rest of the hot dog especially the Japanese mayo and furikake. Overall I enjoyed my experience at Sumo dog. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The ambiance of Oxbow is usually a good vibe. I definitely want to return and try other hot dogs on the menu.

Generally very positive thoughts on the food quality, though much less on the spicy heat and more on the veggies in the platters. Pita and platters have the same fresh veggies and composition with hot sauce and ranch. Not quite heavily spiced as other meditteranean spots but very tasty. On the plus, their pita is very fresh and remarkably chewy. Greek fries were fantastic, just enough feta cheese with drizzle of olive oil and touch of salt on top of super crispy fries. Aromatic and crispy without being too greasy. Fried goodies are top notch, falafel was tasty and moist on the interior, chicken schnitzel had solid batter to it.

I placed my order and asked for muffins, but was told they were sold out. I could clearly see five on the counter, and the employee explained they were already spoken for. I mentioned my kid would be disappointed and asked if there was anything they could do. One employee immediately said no, while another kindly checked in the back and was able to find one muffin for us, which I appreciated. A little later I noticed packaged muffins in the display case and asked if I could buy those, but again was told no. Unfortunately, the experience only got worse from there. I realized after leaving that I never received the pizza I had ordered, and the avocado toast made me extremely sick. I spent the rest of the day dealing with what felt like serious food poisoning. I called afterward to request a refund ( I only asked to refund the avocado toast and the pizza) and left a voicemail. No one returned my call. I called again and spoke with someone who said the manager had just left and would call me back. Again, no response. They mentioned refunding my card and I gave my card digits, but I'm pretty sure I had actually paid cash. Either way, I mainly wanted to speak with a manager about the situation, and no one ever followed up. What's especially disappointing is that I live nearby, come here often, and genuinely love this place. That's why this experience was so frustrating.
