We were on our way to Costco when we came across this place for lunch. When you walk in there's a kiosk setup to place your order. They will ask if you are takeout or dine in once it's placed. We decided to dine in. Once we sat down someone brought out our utensils and drinks we ordered. I ordered a grapefruit lemonade which was very refreshing. I loved how it asks how sweet you want it. My husband ordered some sushi rolls which tasted pretty good. I ordered the shrimp bento box because of all that came in it. The shumai was good and the rangoons were stuffed really good. Just a little overcooked making the wrapper a little hard, but the inside was perfect. I don't eat Cali rolls so my husband ate it. The shrimp was cooked perfect and not overpowered by the sauce. My husband had the Teri chicken which he devoured. All in all great place for a quick lunch. read more

Sushi was awful; the worst I have ever had. Fish was old and tasted old. Rice was so sticky you couldn't separate the rolls. The fried one was soft and mushy with terrible flavor. I ordered from here because it was cheaper than where I normally order from but now I know why. Don't waste your money. read more

Very much a take out place For eat in it is just plastic silverware and to go boxes no plates Food was good read more

Overpriced for what you get. For the same money, I could eat at a good sushi restaurant. The food wasn't great, and I honestly didn't even know what I was looking at on the foam plate. I also ordered soup and it came in a plastic container--really? Won't be coming back. read more

Had the volcano roll. It was a mushy hot mess! It's offered as fried tempura roll filled with avocado, cream cheese and crab. The outside tempura was too soft. There was no substance or flavor to it. The roll needs texture on the inside like green onion and Serrano peppers. Also the breading needs to be changed to panko for a more crunchier texture! I threw it away and should have taken a picture first! read more

The food was so flavorful. I was recommended this restaurant by a friend and decided to try it. I wasn't disappointed at all! The service was great and fast. It's also in a great area to dine in or carry out! read more

Sumo Japanese Sushi - Shrimp fried rice w/ vegetables - Japanese Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

It is definitely cheap. Total order for 3 rolls, 10 nigiri, 2 soups, and a salad was $45. The salad and the soup was the best part of the meal. And $3.75 for a huge salad was awesome (other places charge $5+ for half the size) and ginger dressing was good. Miso soup was delicious and a large size (you can split one for 2 people). Now the sushi was not horrible, just extremely bland. Even the "hot and spicy" rolls had no flavor. The spicy tuna roll has zero flavor. The Mr. salmon roll was the best of the 3, but definitely not worth almost $12. I don't think I would be back for their sushi. read more

Gave us rancid beef that was bad and had an odd gray color. Made me gag, we had to throw it away as it was unsafe to consume

Came here for lunch with a coworker (July 16) and the food was great! I ordered the Hibachi Chicken and Shrimp lunch and it came with fried rice, vegetables, clear soup, and a simple salad. The portion for lunch was big enough for me to have leftovers and if you eat in the Yum Yum sauce is unlimited! I will definitely come back to try their sushi. read more

So I saw this place had a 10% discount for FedEx employees, which is basically tax back, so one Friday lunchtime, a group of us decided to go try it out. I got the Tempura platter (6 generous pieces) which was pretty decent and the Winchester Roll and agreed with my colleague's assessment who got the same roll, that the cream cheese should have been whipped or mixed with some sort of chives because as it was now, the cream cheese overwhelmed the rest of the roll. One of my colleagues who got the Chicken Hibachi said the meat was cold and the soup was weak tasting and not much flavor to it. Another colleague who got the Tempura Combo roll, said that the rolls were decent (the sweet potato roll with cucumber and avocado was the best of the bunch) but the accompanying miso was just average taste - no oomph to it. The fourth and final diner was also disappointed in both his sushi rolls that he had ordered. For him, the namesake Sumo roll had nothing outstanding flavor-wise (and especially for something which is a namesake sushi roll, he was expecting it be something special) and then the Winchester Roll (misspelled on the menu) had too much cream cheese, as I mentioned previously. Overall service was nice, but based on the food, not sure any of us would return. Yelp 157/2017 read more

I go here often because of the food but I don't recommend eating here because the service is terrible. I placed my order over the phone and when they took it I felt like they weren't listening and wanted me off the phone because they messed up my order and had a attitude when I tried to correct them. read more

I had the philadelphia roll and spring rolls for ~$10. The sushi roll was really small compared to Akita in southaven and there wasn't much rice around it. Left me wanting more. The spring rolls just wasn't good to me. read more

Wow! The sushi here had a little something that I wasn't expecting, especially for a small place. Quality was in line with the big, fancy places, if not a little bit better. It's partial service which means you order at the counter, but they bring it to your table. I ordered 3 rolls for $12 I think and I also ate an order of crispy beef wraps which are really beef wontons. Check out the color of the tuna! It's dark red. It was fatty and delicious. I'm looking online and I can't really decide what that color means. It's probably a bluefin. When meat is fresh and exposed to the oxygen, the myoglobin causes it's color to change to dark red and then brown, so it could be an indication of freshness. We know that no sushi is fresh in terms of never been frozen. It's actually required that it be frozen to kill parasites. At any rate, the freezing process doesn't affect the process of oxidation. What does affect oxidation is gassing the fish with carbon monoxide. This causes it to retain its color for appearance even after the fish has spoiled. So without knowing for sure if the fish was fresh or gassed, it did have a brilliant color and tasted good. The smoked salmon in the philly roll also tasted great. The shrimp tempura roll was excellent too. I really liked the beef wontons which they call the crispy beef wrap. I found they were better to dip into the miso broth than in the sauce they came with. I ate 3 rolls, an appetizer, had tea, and paid tax for just under $20. I think that's good. The place is very nice, but it's a bit small. There's no ice or soda machine. The iced tea is pre packaged in a styrofoam cup with no ice. There aren't many tables. There's only one bathroom so beware. I'm pretty sure I didn't see alcohol. I'm not complaining about any of these things. Just pointing them out. Oh. And I'll be back! read more

Firstly, I've patronized this restaurant many of times! I had a taste for some sushi and I was close by, so I decided to place an order! Upon eating my sushi, which was supposed to have avocado, I realized they put a whole spoonful of wasabi on my roll!!! My brain was burning, nose was burning, because it was so much!! I've tasted Wasabi before, so I know the affect it has! Had I not known, I would've driven to the hospital because i would've thought I was allergic to something from the way I felt!! I won't ever come back to this establishment, because obviously someone was playing in my food!! The cook was already peeking from behind the curtains when I picked my food up, so that makes me think even more that he was playing in my food!!!! Also my Crab rangoons, were just Rangoons!!! No crab in sight!!! read more

First time trying this place. Ordered the salmon bento box without teriyaki sauce, clear soup, green salad, and spicy hand roll. This was a to go order. Order was ready in a timely manner and accurate. Clear soup was a light clean broth packed with fresh mushrooms, scallions, and fried onions. The bento came with fried rice. I prefer steamed rice which it should normally come with but I suppose do to demographics it's fried unless you ask for steamed rice. The fried rice was okay and the salmon was a nice portion but no flavor. The spicy crawfish hand roll was hands down the best item I ordered. Super fresh and spicy! The simple green salad with ginger dressing was a close second. I definitely be going back to eat my way through the menu! read more

I started coming here with a coworker for lunch and now I am hooked. The food is good and they have it ready in about 10 minutes or so. I usually get the All Day Bento Box. I've had the Shrimp Teriyaki and the Chicken Teriyaki. The food is fresh when I get it. While it's a decent amount of food, I will say that there could be a little more shrimp in the Shrimp Teriyaki Bento. Then again, I'm a shrimp lover, so...... read more

03.08.2021: I ordered using Door Dash on 03.06.2021. Ps. All of my Dashers have been awesome thus far during the pandemic. This food was delicious! This was my first time eating from this establishment. I would have given this experience "5" stars, but the (6pc Cajun) wings weren't flavorful and they were soft. My combo Fried Rice and Dynamite Roll were ABSOLUTE TASTY. The portion sizes were reasonable. I actually had food left to take in to work Monday and I ate off this order the whole weekend. I also got 2 Yum Yum Sauces, 2 Spicy Mayo Sauces, and 2 Eel Sauces. They were great. I was about to order more food today, but googled them and realized they were closed on Monday (s). lol. read more

The sushi is terrible. Luke warm and mealy. I can't eat it. This was a door dash order. $25 down the drain . I would not recommend.

Decent food at a decent price. I got the teriyaki chicken bento box special delivered through UberEats. Pros: *Affordable price point. *Big portion size. *Packaged safely and efficiently. *Quick turnaround time. Delivery was only 30 minutes. *Well stocked. All sauces and utensils were included. *Tasty sauce. *The fried shumai and wontons are delicious. Cons: *The chicken is dry and bland. The sauce helps a lot. *Fried rice is just rice scrambled with eggs. Also bland. I would order again, though, when I want to satisfy my craving for Japanese food in a hurry. read more

First time eating here thanks to BiteSquad. Pretty good. I ordered the spring rolls, the potstickers, and the combination fried rice. Spring rolls and potstickers are pretty standard but good nonetheless. The combination fried rice is good. Has a nice clean taste with plenty of chicken and steak (could've used a few more shrimp). I will order again. read more

Sumo Japanese Sushi - Combination fried rice. A lot of food! Pretty good too. - Japanese Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Very tasty sushi! A bit on the expensive end for predominantly takeout sushi, but beautifully presented rolls and large portions. Their rice to fish ratio is perfect, and they have a good variety of different kinds of fish/seafood. Only deducting one star because it's in kind of a bad part of town (I wouldn't go there at night), and a little expensive compared to most sit-down places. Plus there's no table service, you go up and order it, and drinks are served in styrofoam cups. I recommend the Ichiban Roll, The South Wing roll, and the Yummy Roll! read more

Stopped in today to try out their lunch special. It included 2 sushi rolls, soup, and salad for $8.99. I ordered and Alaska Roll & a Spicy Cruncy Crab Roll. Both were very fresh and refreshing. I can't wait to come back and try the hibachi & tempura! read more

I placed a pickup online order for shrimp fried rice, extra onions , and sweet potato tempura. I happily picked the order up and drove home. When I open the container of shrimp fried rice I saw piles of RAW Onions. I called the restaurant with my complaint. The person I spoke to acted like it's normal to add raw onion to fried rice. I returned the order with a replacement. I have attached pic of a fried egg in a container and the replacement of shrimp fried rice I ordered. Usually add-ons are cooked with the order. read more

I'm a frequent customer to this establishment but today I will no longer patronize due to the young man they had working the register. When I called & placed my order he kept trying to rush me off the phone which annoyed me. When I get there to pick up my order it's incorrect. I told him I wanted a volcano roll with 2 side orders of the hibachi vegetables and he could put the 2 side orders of vegetables in the same container. Well I get there and they have my sushi roll but he rung my order up as if I wanted 2 of the hibachi vegetable meals. I told them that's not what I told him over the phone and he insisted I did. I corrected him and told I specifically said the hibachi vegetables by itself. So he proceeds to take a deep breath and blows air as if I've irritated him because he rang my order incorrectly. Then he just sits there and stares at me as if he wanted me to say "that's ok I'll pay for it all" NO! If he would've told me my total like the lady I usually speak with we could've fixed this problem beforehand. But his attitude was UNACCEPTABLE from the time I placed the order over the phone till when I got there! I hate to take my business elsewhere because their food is good but he made my experience very unpleasant! read more
