    We had a good lunch here. Although at first it was a bit disconcerting -- the staff is Spanish not Asian. And we weren't sure about how our food would arrive. Not to worry as everything turned out fine. We had been to this shopping center on the west side of 441 for a number of other restaurants. There's parking near by and an easy walk to small restaurant. We came for lunch. There was a special lunch menu with a lot of choices on it. I got a shrimp stir fry. The dish came with a choice of soup or salad. I got their clear soup with mushrooms. It had some crunchy bits on top (garlic? Dried onions?) and was excellent. My stir fry had a lot of shrimp over a big pile of veggies along with a mound of white rice. The portion was large enough to have a lot of leftovers. My husband got one of their lunch sushi bar combos. His sushi and sashimi also had a half California roll, a fried gyoza, and a fried spring roll. He chose salad for his starter. The only unusual (strange?) part was their ginger dressing that he said tasted like it had ketchup in it. Otherwise, his meal was quite good. Again, another very large portion. In short: Service was fine. Staff was friendly. Portions were large. Food was good. Prices were quite reasonable for quantity. And yes, we'd go back.

    The crispy rice appetizer is a star dish, and we order it during every visit. The food is well prepared and fresh, with a nice presentation. It's our go-to local sushi restaurant.

    I don't hang out in Boca often so I'm not confident recommending places to eat there. Sumo had good reviews across the board on multiple sites so I gave it a shot. It is a very low key spot hidden in the corner of a plaza. On a Friday night, the place was steady but not crowded, and we were able to sit at a table immediately. Reggae music played in the background while a cool breeze wafted in from the open door. Inside seating is quaint but they make good use of a small space. There were plenty of sushi rolls to choose from, and I was pleasantly surprised at the affordability of the prices, not at all up to the usual Boca price point. We started with a wahoo ceviche and a seaweed salad. Portions were quite large and I was glad I only ordered one roll for dinner as I was pretty stuffed by the end of the meal. The wahoo was ok, but I didn't feel like the fish was super fresh, but I did enjoy the seaweed salad - it wasn't drowning in sauce. I had the Jasmin roll which included Spicy tuna, avo and jalapenos, inside-out topped with seared salmon, masago, cilantro sauce, and kimchee sauce. It was supposed to have eel but they were kind enough to substitute it with more salmon instead per my request. I loved that the sauces on the roll were kept at a minimum as well as it defeats the purpose for me if I'm eating sushi and can't even taste the fish. It was beautifully presented and my husband and I were very satisfied with our experience. Looking forward to coming back for another chill date night to try out more of their menu.

    Quality of the sushi tonight was fresh & savory; each roll packed an unami punch; and the rolls were sumo size indeed!

    Went to grab sushi with family tonight after picking Mom from the brightline station. Looking for something different for a change; we tried Sumo Sushi near Mission Bay. Going inside, there was a decent amount of seating inside, and no wait tonight. For dinner, we ordered 1x ginger salad, 1x fantasy roll, 1x saporo roll, and 1x some tempura shrimp roll. Moving on with my review, the food tonight was pretty tasty. For starters, the salad possessed fresh chopped greens/veggies and a vibrant tangy ginger dressing. As for the sushi, we found the rolls to be kinda pricey, HOWEVER, they were at least sumo size! In addition, the quality of the fish tonight was fresh & savory; and, each roll packed an unami punch. Moreover, our server was attentive and friendly. Overall, we had a pleasant evening at the Sumo Japanese restaurant as the sushi was plentiful and delicious. My final verdict would be a 4.5. Definitely be open to come here again.

    This unassuming Japanese restaurant called Sumo is located near Glades Rd off 441 in Boca Raton. It is next to a ramen restaurant and Padrinos and has outdoor seating. It has an extensive menu including hibachi dishes. I decided to have the sushi/combination. The server who was very friendly and funny, asked which fish I liked the most. I thought it was just conversation and was expecting chefs choice. To my surprise the combination included my favorite fish. The pi fed were fresh and did NOT skimp on the serving. All delicious. . I also ordered a side order of eel hand roll. I highly recommend this restaurant if you happen to be in Boca Raton.

    Yukko! Enough TUNA and SALMON... they must have other fish to feed us!!!! まずい)

    I got the sushi deluxe and an eel roll. Eel roll was ok at best, but the sushi deluxe was a joke. 9 "assorted" pieces of sushi, and it was ALL tuna and salmon pieces (seriously?)... with a salmon, tuna and crab roll (more tuna and salmon gimme a break!). The fish was mediocre, and in a rare move for me, I couldn't finish it all, had to choke down some if it. My mom got the Habachi Steak, which was ok, little tough, couple unedible pieces... sauce was good. My daughters eel roll was ok, and her fried rice was "meh", she didnt even want to take the leftovers home (sadly our dog is in NYC) Will not be coming here again :( mazui!

    New location for Sumo Sushi in Mission Bay Boca. I ordered a Spicy Tuna Roll & a Spicy Krab Roll. I LOVE the sushi here as the Spicy Tuna actually has a little kick. Bro... almost all the Spicy Tuna rolls I've had at other places have no kick at all. The Spicy Krab roll. Ahhhhh I'm so glad... why? Because most places don't even have this roll anymore... and that roll is like the gateway roll. It's the Bud Light of sushi rolls! Sumo, thank you for a great lunch and two excellent rolls which both happen to be my favorite traditional rolls.

I came here for a birthday party event where we rented a karaoke lounge room. It was a very fun experience. They have the karaoke iPad on the wall and you're able to add in songs to sing karaoke and also have the ability to order food to the room and drinks. There's a server that comes in throughout the night to check on you and take your orders and whatever you need. It was a lot of fun! Not sure if renting the karaoke room is an additional cost (maybe the host paid for this?), but we all split the food/drink check at the very end. It was a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend!

This time we ordered edamame, Wild Mushroom Chow Fun, braised short rib, wagyu potstickers, green tea, and for the kids the Vegetable Lo Mein Bowl. Everything was delicious, fresh, and came out really fast. A few small things disappointed us this visit. They changed the menu and removed my kids' favorite grilled cheese. It used to come on this amazing soft airy rice bread grilled to perfection, and now it's just a regular multigrain sandwich. The kids were genuinely upset since we always ordered it for them. My green tea was also served with water that didn't seem hot enough, and the foam on top was a little off-putting. I know green tea is brewed at a lower temperature, but this just didn't feel right. Also, the restroom used to have a beautiful chandelier, and now it looks like something happened to it -- only hanging wires are left, which takes away from the otherwise polished aesthetic. Still, KAPOW remains one of our favorite spots because the food is consistently excellent, the atmosphere is fun and stylish, and service is always quick.

The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and definitely the highlight of the night. The restaurant itself was also really beautiful and had a nice upscale vibe. Unfortunately, the cleanliness and service at the beginning didn't match the atmosphere. When we first sat down, one of our glasses had a lot of scratches and the other one was visibly dirty. When I asked for them to be changed, the waitress initially insisted it was just scratches, even though one was clearly dirty. She eventually replaced them, but the new glass was also heavily scratched, and what bothered me most was that she took the dirty glass and placed it on another table instead of taking it to be cleaned. The attitude at first felt a little dismissive and rude, although she did become much more polite and helpful as the night went on. Another downside was the bathroom cleanliness. It smelled like a public restroom, which really didn't fit the fancy atmosphere the restaurant was trying to create. Overall, the food was genuinely excellent, but for a place that looks this nice, the cleanliness and attention to detail should be much better.

First time going in, I was cautious to order so I got hamachi jalapeño ($29.99), toro with caviar ($39.99 for 1pc), and uni ($19.99 1pc very small amount) at market price. It took over 30mins for these appetizers and nigiri's to be served. Servers were friendly but unprofessional, looked very lost. The sushi chef was Korean, but definitely not Korean sushi chef quality work. There are plenty of places you can go to for equal or better quality sushi for better prices. The toro had Clorox scent as if it had been placed on a cutting board that has been wiped with a sports towel that was soaked in Clorox. The Uni was fresh but the amount was disappointing. I am uploading pictures from different places for comparison. Anyway no need for me to say anything else. Won't be returning, ever. I could barely swallow the 2 pieces of nigiri and app that was drowning in salty ponzu sauce. I will leave this place for people who dont know how to enjoy some good sushi.

Small, intimate space (in the old AlleyCat location), but done right... cozy without feeling cramped. The chefs were fantastic and the fish was top tier. The uni was unforgettable.

Only thing I'd skip is the Big Mac... a little too much going on in one bite. Perfect date spot and honestly hard to compare to anything else in Boca. Bonus: easy parking at Royal Palm just south of Mizner. Expensive, but memorable.

This is good value for what you pay. The place is really small and when you first walk in there is a general seating, waiting area while you wait for others to finish and then to turn over the tables. After they are ready for you they will seat you at the bar and they will serve you the food. I will agree with a lot of the other reviews. I wish it was a little more roomy. You are elbow to elbow like on a spirit flight. I think removing one seat from the bar would give a lot of room for the others. Which is kind of poor design because the waiting area is quite large compared to the bar too where everyone is served. Sushi by bou has a pre set menu so it's technically not true omakase since it means "I leave it to you," the chef. But everyone gets the same thing so it's not really different if you go again. With all of that said, the food is still great. The quality of sushi is high and the cuts are solid. Service is great because they are right in front of you so you can just ask if you need something. Seems like there are more workers than customers really. Would definitely go again if I wanted some good sushi.

Maybe it's quieter outside but those tables are right next to the street. We had to yell to hear each other. Our server Sebastian was so pushy and constantly upselling us. As soon as we sat down, he asked whether we wanted still or sparkling water, but that question should always have 3 options: still, sparkling, or tap? He then recommended the signature omakase, the most expensive thing on the menu. When he came back to take our order, he made a big pitch of today's rib special. When my husband ordered the 8-piece nigiri, he pushed us to upgrade to the 12-piece option. As we were eating, he asked us what else we wanted to order. We ordered $130 of food for 2 people...seriously? We hadn't even finished yet to gauge if we were still hungry. I know that tips are a percentage of the bill, but you would've thought this kid was getting a commission on top of his tip or something. It rubbed us the wrong way. The tuna crispy rice was $5 per piece and the rice was weirdly chewy. Wouldn't order it again. The nigiri were the highlight of the meal. Each piece felt balanced and the sushi rice was good. We ordered 3 rolls: toro toro, scallop, and yellowtail. All were forgettable and expensive for what they were. The yellowtail roll was bland, which is probably why there's a chili ponzu sauce to go with it because otherwise all you can taste is pear, which isn't a flavor I'm looking for in sushi. We ended our meal with scallop tacos, which were good but microscopic and pricey ($17 for 2 tacos). Each one is a bite and a half. It took a while to flag down Sebastian for the bill, so we were stuck in the din of the restaurant for longer than we liked. If the restaurant's filling up, wouldn't you want to turn our table and seat new guests? My husband made a note on the res that it was my birthday, but it was ignored. Maybe we would've had a better experience with a different waiter, but this was a disappointing meal and service.

Reservations are required well in advance, and there are 2 seatings daily, 6pm and 9pm, each hosting roughly 7 couples, which keeps the atmosphere serene and intentional. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by the entire staff and seated immediately. We were the first to arrive, so I took the opportunity to admire and take pictures of the space before others arrived. The interior is stunning, breathtaking, and transports you straight to Japan! There's a beautiful private room the back which holds up to 8 guests and the personal chef and low to the group Japanese style seating. On the night we dined, we enjoyed an 18 course omakase tasting, paired with 4 sake tastings. The four sake selections were all exceptional, smooth and refined and unforgettable, even though I regret not capturing each of their names. The meal began with one of the most delicious bites I've ever had, king crab served over a warm and decedent custard. From there each course built on the last. We tasted a variety of salmons, tunas; some completely raw, and some aged to perfection for 14 days. Along with snapper, beautifully grilled Chilean sea bass, and many other crafted dishes. I tried Uni for the first time, and I finally understand why it is referred too as 'ice cream of the sea'. The taste, texture and aroma were all exquisite, creamy, delicate and truly memorable. The experience ended with a warm miso soup, followed by a refreshing melon wedge, and a red bean ice cream sandwiched between two very flaky wafers. Every single bite left me in awe. The chefs knife skills, the precision, the presentation, the simplicity of certain dishes which still packed powerful flavors, it all showcased the artistry of true Japanese fine dining. This was more than dinner, it was an experience. My absolute favorite dish? The A5 Wagu. It was heave on earth, melt in your mouth perfection. If you appreciate fine dining, exquisite flavors, culinarily history, and the craft behind aged, cured and meticulously prepared food, Taki Omakase is an unforgettable experience that you will love from start to finish.
