I had read about this place on Ubereats. Vallejo is somewhat of a food wasteland these days, so I've turned to an occasional splurge. It was SO stinkin' hot on Saturday that I COULD. NOT. COOK. I think I took two showers, maybe three that day. I decided to splurge ( 57 bucks for rice, salmon/shrimp/veg combo, and sesame balls.) for dinner. I am SO glad I did, because all the food was fresh, clean tasting and delicious. I could only eat half of it (reheating tonight!) and would 100% go back, although I will just hit it on the way home from BART instead of going the UBER eats route. Pretty sure this would not have cost as much. BUT it was indeed really good 'fast food' and I hope to high heaven they open another spot. COME to Vallejo! WE NEED good healthy spots! I highly recommend this place. We loved it! read more

Sumo Grill - Food was amazing!!! First time trying this place... Portion everything was Great. Fast, Friendly Customer Service - Teppanyaki Near Me - Martinez, California

Amazing food! Amazing service! Very clean and friendly staff! Cashiers were very professional!

I get their delicious food to go at least once a week, and it is always enough to last me for 3 meals. My favorite is Hibachi Steak and Shrimp with Garlic Fried Rice and their fresh vegetable mix in a light sauce. I also have had the Hibachi Steak, Chicken and Shrimp Trio with the same sides and it was delicious! My new favorite addition to my meal is a 3 piece order of Japanese Spring Rolls (I can't spell the actual name) with a delicious dipping sauce. The service is always wonderful and they have gotten to know us well enough to bring it out to our car. I love this place! read more

SO GOOD! I wanted lunch and stumbled across this place. I ordered an entree of the shrimp hibachi with garlic rice. I ordered to go and they included two sauces on the side which were to die for!! The veggies were cooked perfectly and the shrimp was delicious. Rice was perfect! You can dine inside which is nice. I will definitely be returning. Their service was quick which I appreciated! Plenty of parking read more

Great food, big portions, and super fresh! I just started working in the area and am so glad I found this place. It will now be a regular on my lunch breaks. read more

Great customer service , clean restaurant food was amazing especially the fried rice.I will be back soon with others lol

Incredibly delicious and cheap. I especially think that the taste, and quantity, of stir fried veggies that you get with the plates are excellent. I don't like the yum sauce, and the ginger sauce is reasonably good. But I think you're best bet when ordering a plate is to order an extra side of teriyaki sauce and tempura sauce, because those are both excellent, in my opinion. read more

Yum!!! Food is fresh made-to-order and dee-lish! They offer to housemade sauces: Yum Sauce is sweet and creamy; Brown Sauce that's ginger-based. Both were great with my grilled chicken. Meal comes with white rice but go for the upgrade of garlic rice it's so good. If you have been driving past it due just not knowing the name, or the curb appeal (strip mall where KFC was) turn in and give it a try! (Night-time it is much easier to notice) It is family-run and family-friendly too! p.s. Bathroom was large, neat (no other storage like many small places) and *super* clean. read more

The food is the BEST, my favorite is the Steak and Scallops. The service can't be any better, and it's small but plenty of room, decorations are delightfully pleasant. I go at least twice a month, the family takes great care of their customers read more

Absolutely love this place! The staff are friendly and efficient. They are very accommodating and food comes out quickly, served hot and fresh. The portions are big enough for sharing. I'd say the prices are a bit steep, but the food quality makes up for it overall. The garlic edamame and tempura are great starters here! The shrimp always tastes fresh, never fishy and the meat is always cooked to perfection. This is my new go to! read more

Pretty small place (25 person capacity) so I was expecting a Panda Express-esque quality and service when I walked in. However, I came out very impressed. The staff were all very welcoming and thorough, and the place was really clean and comfy even if it was small. As for the food, I was also pretty impressed. The food was tasty, fresh, and balanced without it being too salty. Definitely levels above something like Panda Express. I was most impressed by the quality; I would be very satisfied if I received these dishes at a more proper sit-down restaurant with wait staff. E.g. this place is miles above the Benihana that's located not too far from here. If you're looking for Japanese food cooked Hibachi style that's convenient, quick, yet doesn't compromise on quality, then this is definitely a place you should try! read more

I've had this a few times as only take out and it's never been a miss. The food is prepped to order and the garlic rice is amazing! Presentation for to-go food is 5/5 so there's definitely pride in what they do. I'll have to go in one day and see what service and the feel of the restaurant is like before speaking on it. read more

Perfect work lunch - reasonable price and something healthy! I really liked the shrimp and chicken combo with the garlic rice. read more

WOW! I cannot say enough good things about Sumo Grill. We usually get an order of the steak hibachi with the garlic fried rice, it's enough to share between two people or for yourself for two meals. Everything is always fresh, tastes absolutely delicious and the staff is always very welcoming when we pick up our Togo orders. I would choose this place over the over priced hibachis in the area any day! read more

My husband and I LOVE the steak and shrimp combo. We get one to share with garlic fried rice with a gyoza appetizer and that feeds both of us. We get an extra side of ginger sauce that I happily pay for because it's so good I could drink it! They have single serving crepe cakes in their fridge that are really good, though not house made like almost everything else there. Every time we've ordered, our steak has been cooked to perfection, the shrimp is delicious and the veggies are cooked well. The seasoning is excellent, never too salty. The staff is always very friendly, and though the restaurant is small, it's clean and well lit. I'm continually impressed by everything we've had here. Can't wait to go back, though we just had it for dinner tonight! read more

Went again, actually we have made eating here a weekly event and sometimes twice a week just because it's so good! We love this place and always get the best service! Did you know their salmon is sushi grade?! Oh my gosh it's amazing and paired with the best steak ever! The edamame came out perfectly with just the right amount of salt! This place is always busy but the service is quick and delicious! now I'm hungry for them again!! read more

The Salmon, salad,and Miso soup was delicious. But there is No Ambience! No chef juggling shrimps, etc.This was my first time dining at Sumo Grill. I was expecting Sumo Grill to be a large restaurant able to seat large families 6-10 persons like Benihana. I was surprised when I entered the doors to find a small Mom & Pop take-out restaurant. I will still return for their Delicious Salmon, Delicious Miso Soup, and Take-out but sorry no anniversary dinners here! read more

I've been here for about 4-5 times now and the food is amazing. I'm gonna try to try everything on their menu if possible. So far, I haven't been disappointed. The food is ALWAYS piping hot! Stem coming off! I love the sumo fried rice. The beef skewers is another favorite. For dessert, y'all gotta try the tempura cheesecake. YES! Tempura cheesecake! read more

Great hibachi for a great price! People working there are so friendly as well. You've got a returning customer in me!

Our food was fresh, great taste, and not pricey. Staff is nice also. Would definitely come again.

This is my favorite hibachi place to grab a quick meal. Everything is so good and fresh. I either get the steak and chicken or chicken and salmon both and really good and you won't be disappointed. The gummy sauce and ginger sauce is so good you must get that to go with your meal it won't taste the same. read more

Really yummy food here. Been here a few times and have not been disappointed. Upgrade to the fried rice! I usually can make 2 meals out of it but that is just me. I like meals that include vegetables which makes healthy in my mind.... Lol. Definitely a place to hit up when craving. read more

We just moved down the street and have gotten take out several times! Every time it's fresh, quick, and amazing food! It also is so much food, I feel like it's a lot of bang for your buck! We have ordered chicken, shrimp, steak, and salmon and they're all delicious. Don't forget the garlic fried rice it's worth it! read more

Sumo Grill is located in the shopping center off of Arnold and Morello. It's right next to the Mountain Mike's, and in the shopping center across from the Rite Aid. The location is small, so it is not a great place to come dine in with larger parties, as there are just a handful of tables set-up inside. Place is pretty clean though, albeit, could be because they're still fairly newly opened. Menu is not huge. They offer the basics of the hibachi grill eating experience, without the dining experience to go with it. They will have most of your basics for you here, such as chicken, steak, shrimp, etc. Pricing wise, they're priced just slightly lower than the cost of your typical hibachi/teppanyaki style places. They're not cheap, but comparatively to other places of this sort, they are on that more affordable side. Staff here are okay. Friendly enough if you engage them. The food here however is just not that great, for what you're paying for the food. The food was all overcooked, and the steak was tough and not that well made. The flavoring was not great, just felt really bland, and with how much "sauce" (was more like water) was in the container from the takeout, it just didn't feel flavorful at all because the sauce was almost like half the container, and watered down any actual potential this could have had to be more flavorful. The portions were also not quite as I had hoped for considering the cost. Yes, this is cheaper for if we compare it to a teppanyaki place where we don't have to sit there for the show and get just the takeout. However, portion wise, it's way less, at least for the steak part of it. With how overcooked the steak was, it really wasn't even worth it to get it here. The chicken was also very dry cuts, and was tough to get through. It's a nice family owned style place. It doesn't really offer anything spectacular from the hibachi aspect of things. It's just food that is cooked on a flattop grill with very hot temperatures, but doesn't seem like they've done anything special with its food. While it was not terrible, there was also nothing great about it, and rather forgettable with how many food options there are in this immediate area alone. Worth it to try once? Perhaps, but I wouldn't go out of your way for it. read more

I have to admit that I'm pleasantly surprised. This is basically benihana's without the show or the upscale and prices. There is one type of steak offered so you don't get a choice between strip or filet mignon but you can pair it with seafood either shrimp or scallops. We ordered a huge take out order via doordash. 9 entrees plus sides......and omg... it was perfect. Every dish was piping hot and made correctly. Wish they offered a "rare" option for the steak but the medium rare did come nice and pink in the center. While it's not benihanas.... this place is DARN GOOD. Will absolutely go back. No one in our group had a single complaint. Everything was good. Steak and shrimp, steak and scallops, three protein udon, edamame, gyoza....all awesome. We ate too fast to get any photos but believe me it was worth it. read more

so so so delicious!! saw the reviews for this place and decided to give it a try while we were in town...super impressed! next time we are in town, we will definitely be back:) read more

Sumo Grill - Teppanyaki Near Me - Martinez, California

Tried this place for the first time today. It is in the strip mall where Petco is, and where KFC used to be. (across the street from McDonalds). They have a few tables for dining in, but this place is mostly a take-out spot. Ordered online with co-workers by 11:30 and our food was ready at 11:45, as promised on their website. They got all 4 of our orders right. I had the Hibachi shrimp with vegetables. The shrimp had great flavor. You could tell it was fresh. It was slightly overcooked (firm), but that's just me being a shrimp snob. It came with a ginger dipping sauce which reminded me of Benihana. It was delicious. It also came with a peach colored sauce, which I thought was a mustard sauce, however it was something different. Don't know what it was, but I dipped my veggies in it, and it was fabulous! The veggies were cooked just right, and seasoned in some light sauce which added a nice mild flavor. The garlic rice was simple, yet delicious. The gyoza had a little crunch to it. The filling was flavorful and the dipping sauce that came with it was just right. My co-workers were impressed with the portions. When handing out their food, the Hibachi chicken container was heavy! If you want something fresh, simple and delicious, and you typically enjoy Benihana, I would give this place a try. It's not as expensive as Benihana, and the quality was on point. The staff was friendly and efficient. I will be returning for sure! read more

I ordered the Steak and Shrimp combo with the Garlic Fried Rice. It is very tasty. With what I can eat at a time, This will make 3 meals for me. The staff were very polite. I got mine to go and the young man brought it out to me. It seems to be a very popular place. While I was sitting there they had a constant stream of walk-ins and people picking up pre-orders. read more

Sumo Grill - Steak and Shrimp with Garlic Fried Rice - Teppanyaki Near Me - Martinez, California

Tried this new spot yesterday. It's basically like Benihanas without the show. The food & service was great! This is a small family owned restaurant. You order at the counter. They brought our order out to us but I'm not sure if this is what they normally do. There was a steady flow of customers & never had a long line. The reason for 4 stars & not 5 are the portions are pretty small & I didn't like that the habachi dishes were drenched in teriyaki sauce. We ordered Steak & shrimp - delicious Steak & scallops - delicious Chicken Katsu - delicious, all white meat, flavorful & Crispy! Edamame - warm & yummy All our dishes were served with veggies [brocc, onions, zucchinis & carrots] came with regular white rice, however, we upgraded to garlic rice for a small fee [+$2?]. It looked plain but it was actually very tasty! The 2 sauces that came with our dishes were tasty as well. Both are similar to the Benihana sauces, one is gingery & the other was garlicy. The ginger one was my fave! Overall, I enjoyed this new establishment & would recommend & come back! I would ask for no or very minimal teriyaki sauce next time. read more

I found this place on Yelp and am glad we checked it out. First off the location was easy to find in a strip mall and parking was plentiful. I personally wish they had outdoor seating though. We ordered a chicken and shrimp hibachi which was tasty. A chicken hibachi which was good. The tofu dish was good. The salmon was a little dry. Overall, the dishes arrived hot and the portions were large. But I do not appreciate the plastic ware- I wish the in restaurant meals were served in a nicer and less wasteful manner. read more

Food was fresh and tasty. Good size serving portions and very friendly staff. Will definitely be back.

Anything except 5 stars is an insult to this fine establishment. Great food and great service. Always friendly one of my weekly go-to spots.

Wonderful food and prices and ran by an amazing family! Kobe food without Kobe prices. We love the chicken hibachi with extremely fresh veggies. Garlic fried rice is A+! read more

After eating out a ton but not having time to cook a healthy meal at home, I decided to explore this spot and wow. Immaculately clean, super fresh, delicious and most importantly, healthy food. Really friendly service, and super quick too. There's nothing not to like about this place and you definitely don't feel gross after eating here. My favorite is their Salmon + Scallop Hibachi. If you want to order steak, I would recommend you order it Medium and not Medium-Rare, as it can be a little tough when underdone. We have also tried the Chicken... also delicious. It's great having a guilt-free quick meal option nearby. read more

We needed to find a quick and easy spot for dinner after my kids bball tournament at Power Sports Academy and this was the perfect spot! We ordered different combos of steak, chicken, shrimp, and salmon and everyone loved what they got. Garlic rice option was awesome. Stir fried veggies were super fresh and cooked perfectly. Portions are big and generous, and the two sauces they provided were awesome too. Service was super friendly and fast. Noticed lots of to-go orders but we ate there, dining area was super clean and they had the Celtics v Lakers game on which was a plus! I can see why this spot has such good reviews, I'm sure we'll be back! read more
