    half eaten gyudon (a ton of meat)
    Emily Z.

    Quick service, good portions, friendly staff, just a little pricey. I ordered the gyudon which the menu said was 18 but I think they didn't have time to update their menu because the charge on my receipt said 19. Kind of pricey for a grab and go bento but they do give you a good portion of meat. I might be able to eat the rest for another meal. I also got the double matcha and it's not bad, a little sweet for my asian tastebuds (I forgot to ask to adjust sugar). I think they use whipped cream in the double matcha foam because I can taste it. Personally not a fan of whipped cream but I am curious how their normal matcha latte would taste. They also have sandos here which I didn't try this time but would in the future!

    I was driving down Miramar road and was craving matcha. I stumbled upon this and had to try. I never had lychee matcha, until I came here, and it was delicious. The potatoes in the egg sando were a bit overbearing, but the flavor was still delicious. They also had other options to select if you're on the go and need something to snack on. They also had racks of Japanese snacks that you rarely see, so that was pretty cool. I'll definitely be coming back to try more on their menu and to-go selections.

    4 stars. I recently came back from Japan, so walking into Sumo Go definitely brought me back! It's a cute Japanese grab-and-go spot with egg sandos, katsu sandos, Asian snacks, Japanese drinks, and a cafe where you can order fresh food. The staff was super nice. We tried the: * Gyudon: simple, comforting, and a good portion of meat compared to Yoshinoya * Una Don: a rich, savory grilled eel filet over nice that was quite filling The regular bowls are a fair size, though prices lean a little high for what you get. Overall, a fun little taste of Japan in Miramar and a great option for a quick lunch. I'd definitely come back to try some of their sandos, curry, and tempura.

    Looking for lunch places in Miramar, Sumo Go popped up. It's a very small casual restaurant where you order at the counter and your food comes out. They have a small area of tables if you choose to eat there. They are known for their unadon, teriyaki bowls, matcha drinks, and egg sandos. While you wait for your food, you can shop at their convenient store filled with imported Japanese snacks and drinks. Our food came out within a few minutes. The food was tasty and flavorful. The guy working there was kind enough to offer me a little more curry as he saw I ran out before I finished my rice. I felt the prices were a little high given its casual Japanese food between $16-28 per entree. But overall solid food that was filling.

    Overview: authentic, delicious Japanese food, such welcoming service, and a very wide variety of snacks ---- I'm so glad that Sumo Go (aka Sumo Size at the farmers' markets) has a physical location close to my work! It makes it so much more convenient instead of going to farmers' markets like OB and having to struggle to find parking. Here they are located in a shared plaza so there are plenty of spots! My go-to favorite thing to order is their Una Don $18 reg / $28 sumosize (large). The eel is so tender and melt-in-your-mouth, each bite feels like it transports me back to Japan. It comes on a bed of rice and coated with their homemade teriyaki sauce which was the perfect amount. The eel filets were huge and filling, the price is basically like ordering an eel sushi roll and getting 2-3 times the amount of eel that you would get (so much more worth it in my opinion)! ---- It's a very convenient store, with prepackaged food like katsu sandos and egg salad sandos, so many snacks (aisles and aisles of them!), both matcha and coffee drinks (around $7-8ish), and cookies! ---- The service is so friendly and welcoming, everyone here is so polite and the interactions made my day! There is both inside and outside seating, which you can either grab your bowl to-go or eat it there. It was very clean and neat. I love how well organized their snack aisles are! Literally so many snacks to choose from, it was amazing to peruse around the aisles looking at all of the different kinds of things they had. ---- Overall: come by for a convenient place for delicious food, no longer do you have to venture out to farmers' markets for these wonderful dishes! not only is the food great, their service, variety of items, and drinks were all astounding, thank you for being here!!!

    I stopped by this place on a whim and was delighted to see the selection of Asian snacks they had. I got cool items like strawberry Oreos and various Asian flavored lays chips (like fried crab). The establishment is not huge and has just a few tables and chairs along with a few shelves of snacks. The staff working was friendly and I have no complaints about the service. My only issue was I found the restaurant portion to be a bit on the expensive side. We got an order of orange pork and it was definitely on the small side for what we paid. We also got suimai but those were tiny as well (about 1/4 the size of what I was expecting). Overall however, I'll be back to raid their selection of snacks.

    Gyu Don Curry large!! Huge!!!
    Lo S.

    Sumo Go is amazing!!! Gyu don curry is a perfect food, my comfort food. HUGE portions, the large is like 4 meals. Great flavor, a really nice person took my order and made sure that my drink was not too sweet. Really really kind!! There are some tables inside and outside to eat. There's a lychee at the bottom of the lychee matcha!!! Tons of fun products in the store. This place is seriously awesome!!! Can't wait to come back!

    Lovely addition to the neighborhood! Grab&Go or you can sit&eat. Small size for the Gyu Don bowl was just right, large for the days you're hella hungry! Staff were friendly and food came out pretty fast. There's a lot of snacks to munch on afterwards!

    Egg Salad Sando and Orange Candied Orange Oat Latte
    Lisa M.

    I'm obsessed with anything Japanese, so I was excited to check out Sumo Go. It's a small, cozy spot where you can sit down and eat, but also great if you're just stopping by to grab snacks and drinks to go. They have a good selection of Japanese chips, candy, and snacks. I was excited to see katsu and egg salad sandos! Egg sando doesn't taste like the ones from 7-Eleven or FamilyMart in Japan, but they're still really tasty. My favorite thing was the Orange Candied Oat Latte. It was so good! It wasn't overly sweet, and the orange paired so well with the coffee. Such a unique drink, I will be back to order it again :)

    Lychee matcha

    Quick lunch today my wife suggested that we try this place. More like a restaurant/convenience food store. They had tasteful music going on. Some tables off to the side but most of the tables and chairs were outside. Perfect since we brought our corgi. Service was good and relatively fast. I got their curry bowl with pork cutlets and my wife got oyakudon bowl. Both hit the spot. For drinks my wife got the lychee matcha, and I got the Ramu Bottle in original flavor. Price was right, close to our home in Mira Mesa, and our dog was happy to come along. A Win-Win for us! Yes we'll fit them in our round table of places to eat.

    Sumo Go is a combination eatery and grocery store in the Miramar neighborhood. Their end suite used to be the home of a short-lived South African restaurant. Parking spaces were plentiful in the plaza lot. Four small tables were placed outside for al fresco dining. A similar number of larger tables were inside along the right windows. Upon entering, multiple sets of shelves greeted you with displays of various Asian dried goods. A refrigerated display in the back left corner held items like sandos, cake rolls, and prepackaged beverages. The service counter was in the back right of the room. A menu board hung behind the counter that featured rice bowls with different kinds of proteins as the main food offerings. Three of the bowls were available in medium ($18) and large ($28) sizes. Several hot snacks were also available. For drinks, espresso, matcha, and lattes were the main choices. My takeout order consisted of the Shumai as a snack and the Gyu Don Curry as an entree. The Shumai (or pork hash as known to some) came as nine dumplings. To my surprise, they were like fritters with a creamy instead of meaty interior. I wonder if the kitchen mistakenly served takoyaki instead because I have never encountered shumai like what I was given. The curry was made up of thinly sliced beef, onions, potatoes, carrots, and white rice. The brown sauce was mildly spicy and flavorful. The large portion that I purchased was sufficient to feed 2-3 people. The worker who took my order was very pleasant. The Gyu Don Curry by itself was between four and five stars. On the other hand, the Shumai was somewhere between two and three stars. Overall, I rounded my takeout experience at Sumo Go to a four star level.

    Okay, this review is going to be a little all over the place because my brain gets excited when I find a good matcha. First things first... the double matcha was AMAZING. Smooth, earthy, not overly sweet, and it actually tasted like quality matcha instead of sugary green milk. I've had a lot of matcha around San Diego (probably more than my wallet would like to admit), and Sumo Go is officially in my top 3 matcha spots in San Diego. That's saying something. I actually haven't tried the food yet, but I stood there staring at everyone else's orders and everything looked bomb. They have donburi bowls, sandos, curry, karaage, Japanese snacks... basically all the things I already know I'm going to come back for. One thing I wasn't expecting was how cute the shop is. It's not just a place to grab a drink--they have shelves full of Japanese snacks, drinks, instant ramen, ice cream, and little treats that make you want to wander around for a few minutes before you leave. And can we appreciate the location? It's literally right below the dispensary... so if you happen to get the munchies, you don't have to think too hard about your next stop. Whoever planned that deserves a raise. The staff was super friendly, the place was clean, and the vibe was really welcoming. I already know I'll be back to work my way through the menu because if the food is even half as good as that matcha, it's going to be dangerous for my bank account. 10/10. Highly recommend if you're a fellow matcha snob.

    Large matcha einspanner
    Grace L.

    I love how this place has such a great selection of food. My favorite dish was hands down the large unadon. The eel was perfectly grilled, and I also really enjoyed their house made teriyaki sauce. I had enough to bring the other half home for a second meal. I also got to eat some of my husband's large gyudon curry. We thought it was unique because most places have chicken katsu curry, but not gyudon curry. This was also delicious. We ordered a matcha lychee cloud kori, and enjoyed the lychee flavor. We also got a large matcha einspanner, but felt like it'd be best with a bit of oat milk for added flavor. There are about 5 small tables inside for you to enjoy your food and drinks. You can also buy snacks, desserts, and drinks that are prepackaged if you're looking for a quick grab and go. Service wise, they're efficient and also check in to see if you're enjoying your food and drinks. I really enjoy Sumo Go, and will definitely be back!

I usually hesitate getting citrusy rolls because they end up tasting the same as any other place or the citrus part over powers everything, but this was unique and the flavors balanced each other out. Tempura was also nice and crispy. Also love that they used lemon zest(?). Would order again. Una don: Their sauce for this is SO good and the unagi was cooked perfectly. Would order again. Inari set. I LOVE tofu and you don't see inaris in SD. We were very happy with this. Would order again. Annin dofu - this one was unique. Very almond heavy (not a bad thing). This is the only item I wouldn't get again. The tofu was tasty but I think a lot was going on with this dessert. There was a lot of texture, flavors, and color Not sure if this is normal for this dessert lots going on. there were mochi bits, tofu, matcha sauce, granola, raisins, dried strawberries(?). Fun to look at and try but kind of a lot going on. Overall: Would definitely come back. I do hope they get more employees though because I can see this place getting packed and needing more staff!

Overall, I give the food about 4/5 stars, while the service is 5/5. Atmosphere is calm, simple, and relaxed, but nothing spectacularly memorable. We ordered edamame, Nagoya-style fried chicken, an extra hot spicy miso ramen, and a tantanmen ramen with paiko chicken. The edamame was decent, hard to go wrong there, but the Nagoya fried chicken was actually pretty great. It was my favorite item of the meal. Perfect cook, no excess fat deposits left to chew on, and the flavor hits salty, savory, and umami all at once. The ramens themselves were pretty good, but definitely felt slightly flavorless despite their magnificent amount of ingredients and exquisite presentations. I think the broth is just sort of too...light and forgettable? I like a complex broth I suppose. Noodles were cooked to perfection, toppings were fresh, and the paiko chicken was cooked well. Just, a bit too subtle flavor-wise overall for me. Also, the bill came out to ~$90 for 2 people after tax and 18% tip. I know eating out is expensive these days, and we did have quite a bit of food, but it still struck me as quite expensive for a fast-food-adjacent type of setting.

    My new favorite ramen spot of all time and it's not even close. Came here after a friend…read morerecommended and I'm recommending all my friends to go here now too!!! FOOD: 9.8/10 What we ordered: Chicken Karaage | 9.5/10 When you first bite into it, you are met with a mildly sweet soy bbq sauce paired with a crunchy fried exterior, the batter shatters into crumbly bits that add a light crunch. My only note is that it could be crunchier, but idk I'm just a crunch fiend Classic Tokyo Shoyu Ramen | 10/10 Every single bite of this ramen was insanely full of flavor and the texture of each ingredient was perfect. -- Standout ramen ingredients: the Noodles were the perfect level of al dente for me and the deep umami flavor of the broth clung onto the noodles nicely. the Chashu had this sweet char-grilled flavor and my jaw actually dropped after the first bite. The marbling of the fat was a good ratio which made the meat soft and juicy. It melded really well with the broth that was infused with a rich sesame oil aroma. And then every bite after still blew our minds. the Broth had a deep flavor with a sesame aroma that coated the tongue and clung to the noodles. It came with black pepper garnish that added just enough brightness to the soup. I enjoyed how the broth was not too salty yet every sip was so rich. I finished all of the soup down to the last drop! (Picked up the bowl and chugged it ngl)

We were seated at the long table in the center and the table was huge. We were having a bit of trouble reaching for our appetizers (short people problems). There was only 1 server, but we didn't have to wait for our food for very long. I did receive a dirty glass for my drink, but she quickly replaced it with a clean one. I ordered the truffle edemame, potstickers, and chicken karaage. I couldn't really taste the truffle in the edamame, but I like edamame regardless so I ate it. The potstickers were delicious! The juices squirted all over my face when I took my first bite, but I didn't even care. The chicken karaage was divine! It was drenched in sauce and I would've loved to eat it with some plain rice. Next time, I'll have to order with rice. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen with chashu pork and chicken and my husband ordered the Tokyo shoyu ramen. I didn't mind the chicken, but it didn't seem to match. It was pretty tender. It was thinly sliced and kind of reminded me of deli meat. The chashu pork was chef's kiss! It was thick and flavorful! The broth was brothing! It was flavored just right! I tried the Tokyo shoyu and almost wanted to switch with my husband. It was also flavored perfectly. One thing that did throw me off was that the broth wasn't hot, but I honestly didn't mind because it was THAT delicious! I highly recommend this place! I'll definitely be coming back!
