While this is not a traditional hibachi grill restaurant like its exterior seems to indicate, I wasn't there for such, but a craving for spring rolls hit me so I popped in after years of driving by. I wanted a clear roll, which unfortunately they don't have. But all good! I also crave crab rangoons any good day of the week and they didn't disappoint! Three adults split rangoons, a filet mignon carpaccio (okay!!!! YUM!!!!), and the Sumo shrimp. I was super interested in the Tom Yum because I've never seen it with calamari and vegetables, but got it to go because we were so stuffed already. We are not heavy eaters. I did snag a few bites before leaving, it was a classic broth, perfect spices, and a surprising new twist for me. I feel like it was octopus, and not squid, I could be wrong, but I don't care! PS - they do have octopus on the menu for all of you adventurous foodies like me! Speaking of which, the lobby is super cool, it's like walking into a submarine with glowing "portholes". Go get you some octopus! I wouldn't expect that vibe from looking on the outside. Service was very nice, sushi bar looked up to par. I would go back for hibachi, but I prefer a show. Another round of appetizers though, for sure! read more

We were looking for sushi in Macon and this was one of the top places. It happened to be near our hotel too so that was a bonus. It is right off the freeway and parking is easy in the shared lot. It wasn't that crowded on a Friday night and we were seated immediately at a corner booth. There was lots of good things on the menu, but no mention of an all you can eat option. We ordered the filet mignon carpaccio, which came out thicker than expected and not as rare as expected but still great! I didn't know how the mango would work with the dish, but it was a nice touch. We also got the tuna tartare, which was mostly avocado and chunkier than expected. I would skip this dish. For my entree, I had the Tiger roll. It was a generous portion and loaded with fish. It tasted pretty fresh and the combo on flavors worked for me. It was about when I was done with my roll, when I overheard that there was an all-you-can-eat option. It was about the same as we had spent and I wish I had known about it beforehand. It was not advertised and our server did not mention it. Maybe they are trying to keep it on the DL. Anyway, I would have done that if I had known. read more

I was traveling through Georgia and pulled off of I 75 to try to find some sushi and ended up here. The sushi was fantastic and the people were nice. I don't know how to describe the inside of it, it's like they're port holes everywhere like the place used to be a seafood restaurant, but then there are oddly painted walls and they played alternative music. Honestly, I'm not sure I would've put all these random things together, but the sushi was fantastic and very reasonably priced. I would come here again. I should also mention that I am celiac and called before I went in and they seemed fairly knowledgeable about what was gluten-free and what was not. They also had gluten-free soy sauce for me. So I give the place kudos for respecting that. read more

**THIS IS A TO GO REVIEW!!!* Heard reviews on the sushi and decided to try it out before heading in. I viewed the menu specifically looking for a fried sushi and called in an order. I went with the Dynamite Roll and I enjoyed it so much. I thought it was 8 pieces per a menu I seen online, but it was 6. It was enough for just me though. I loved the spicy crab & fried topping on top was a GREAT combination. Service via telephone was amazing, but upon arrival, it took almost 15 minutes for someone to come assist me. The guy at the sushi bar seen me waiting at the front as well as a server, but someone from the back of the restaurant eventually came to assist me. Even though my experience wasn't the best, I would love to try it again; maybe a date night since it gives a dark & intimate vibe. read more

My husband and I were in the area and in the mood for hibachi, we found Sumo Steak & Sushi on yelp with great reviews. This unsuspecting restaurant is located on Riverside drive across from the motel 6. Driving up to the restaurant passing a few closed down restaurants, the area seemed a tad sketchy. We pulled up to the restaurant and decided to order our meals to go. They offer all you can eat sushi & hibachi Monday- Friday 3pm to close and Saturday and Sunday all day for dine in only. The all you can eat price was better than the regular menu prices, but they give you enough food that 1 meal ideally should be all you can eat in one setting. Also, if you choose to opt for all you can eat make sure you only order what you can eat because they will charge you for excess leftover food which will be donated to the No kids hungry organization. We ordered our food online; I had the Hibachi scallop and shrimp. My hubby had the hibachi chicken and shrimp. When we walked through the entrance I was pleasantly surprised by the cool decor, the ambiance was very nice. The restaurant has a large bar and the dining area is spacious, this is a nice place to come and celebrate with a large group around a grill. The staff was super friendly, they greeted us upon arrival. We were in and out in a couple of minutes. Our food was very tasty, everything was prepared well, and they even cooked the scallops to perfection, it was the best hibachi I have had in middle Georgia to date. We will definitely be back but next time we plan to dine in. read more

Sumo Steak and Sushi in Macon is a nice spot with a good vibe. They've got TVs, but the background lighting makes them a little hard to see. Not a big deal, though--it's more of a place to enjoy your food than to watch a game. I ordered the Volcano Roll, and it was good. Deep-fried with white fish, cream cheese, avocado, and crab meat, then topped with scallions, tobiko, spicy mayo, and eel sauce. Despite the "spicy" mayo, it wasn't spicy at all, but the flavors worked well together. It was rich, crispy, and really filling. I only made it through four pieces. Overall, it's a solid spot. Good food, chill atmosphere, and worth checking out if you're in the mood for sushi. read more

I was expecting a really good experience here since my sister recommended this place. It took us 2 years to finally try it. The service was so-so. The ambiance likely better than the rest within Macon. Good for groups and night life. They have a bar but we didn't try. Food was good but could have been better with serving (amount) for the price. I would have rated 3.5 because 1) They put us in the table without utensils/napkins, it was't ready/set like the others. 2) The server put the silverware directly on the table without any napkin at all. Imagine if they wiped that table with rug or cleaning sprays etc. 3) The server misunderstood our order, so please make sure they repeat the order or there'll be a good wait esp at dinner time. read more

The food was absolutely amazing. The quality was great. We got the Hibachi Chicken, Salmon, Scallops, and Shrimp. The consistency of the meat was good. Nothing was overcooked. The flavors of the noodles and rice were phenomenal and not too salty. Perfect combination of sweet and salty. The pink lady roll was okay. I wouldn't get it again, but not awful. It had like a pink wrap around it that was kinda papery in texture. This location does not have an option to cook in front of you, but if you are looking for quality food, this is the place to go for a family dinner or just a casual dinner. read more

always amazing service and top quality sushi, their hibachi dishes are delicious cheep and honestly enough for two avg sized people, the lighting is perfect for the mood, and they are always playing great music but not too loudly. five stars would recommend every day of the week. read more

Friendly atmosphere and delicious food. We try to go once a week. The restaurant is spot on and spic and span comfortable!

Went here for Thursday night dinner. Super good. Great staff. Super hard workers. I felt bad that there was only two waitresses so we had a little wait to order our next drinks We sat at the sushi bar. It's fun waiting the sushi being made. Had four rolls. All were good. I should have taken a picture of the menu. I knew what we got. I think we ordered the beauty and the beast and the sumo roll for sure We wish we ordered more food. Next time we'll get the boat! And the sake was great too! read more

Good food, clean, excellent service, friendly people. I had the shrimp tempura, my grandson insisted on the sushi box, my daughter had the hibachi chicken and the incredible roll.

Stopped by for lunch while in Macon. Amazing food! I ordered the hibachi shrimp and sushi, and was amazed at how delicious it was. Plus the food came out fast - which was a plus. The only thing is that I wished the portions of protein was a bit more - but that's just me being greedy. Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

The absolute best food and service! Always so clean and they are so welcoming! We have been going here and ordering takeout for years. You won't be disappointed. read more

The food is delicious! The teriyaki chicken and the noodles that come with the hibachi was so good!

Food was not very tasty. Rice came out cold and had a strong fish sauce flavor. I returned mine but the manager said that my sister had eaten too much of hers (food pictured). I gave it a chance because of a local recommendation but there are much better options around. read more

Definitely my favorite sushi spot when I'm in town! Service is always amazing and the atmosphere is really nice.

SUMO serves high quality hibachi! I have ordered take out from here quite a few times and have always had a great experience. I usually order the hibachi shrimp and chicken. The vegetables and meat are seasoned so well! The hibachi meal also comes with soup and a side salad so it's a very filling meal and the portions are great! I ordered a side of pork dumplings to go along with my meal and they were pretty good. Crispy on the outside. This picture is a lunch sized hibachi meal. read more

very eccentric lil spot. went for some hibachi to only be told that although you can buy hibachi there no showmanship anymore. all food is made in the kitchen or behind the sushi bar. the hostess informed me they just started all you can eat sushi, so we went with that. their eel just melts like butter. I could eat mountains of it. pink lady, beauty and the beast, & spicy girl were all delicious. great amount of food for a good price. plus friendly and quick service. it's hard to find a gem like this in macon read more

We always had amazing tasty food every time we went there! Service and atmosphere are pleasant! The owners are very nice people!

More of a 3.75 out of 5 rather than 3. Or put it this way, a 7.5 out of 10 ( if it were possible to rate this way ) Convenient to interstate 75. Driving 8 to 10 hours a day... then this is your sushi spot in Macon. Or 50 mile radius around Macon. Had two hamachi rolls & one spicy tuna roll. Was a lot of food and priced extremely fairly. FOOD COMES OUT FAST ! Like lightening speed. That's excellent if you are on a tight time schedule. Tried to order a roll that they didn't understand. Just STICK to their menu and everything will be fine. Don't get creative. GREAT PITSTOP for more than adequate sushi. read more

Great food and great service! The all you can eat deal for the price is amazing! Quality of the sushi was fantastic!

It started off ok. Than the appetizer came. It was cold. I mean real cold. Mentioned it to the waitress and she apologized and took it back. It came back with the 2 peices we took a bite out of. So all they did was throw them in the microwave. ??? One of the meals came cold also. Cold steak?? Who does that?? So they apologized again, took it back and brought back the same steak. So they just threw that in the micro also. ?? Wow!!. Than they tried to get us to lay for it. It wasn't even eaten. The other 2 meals were ok. This place gets a lot of business and I'm not sure why. Maybe we will try them again. read more

Service was not good. I got my food after everyone in my party was through eating. We mostly ordered the all you can eat, but I couldn't reorder because our waiter was AWOL and had already forgotten to bring another order of shrimp for another person at my table. They were struggling, to say the least....and it wasn't even really busy. read more

My wife and I stopped here on a road trip and it FAR exceeded any expectations we had. We eat quite a bit of sushi and this was honestly some of the best we've had! We each got: spicy kani salad (perfection), the gyoza, and each got miso soup. We got 4 rolls total, all were absolutely great. 1. Green river - best one we got! Amazing 2. King Kong - 2nd best one, the sauce and crunch was perfect 3. Fantastic - really good 4. Able - fried and pretty heavy, but delicious Overall this was some of the best sushi we've gotten, and would absolutely be a regular place to go if we lived nearby. read more

Love their all you can eat sushi and hibachi menu! The sushi is fresh with many options including delicious rolls. The cocktails are very reasonably priced and all the servers are very nice. I enjoy going to Sumo! read more

We ordered a "Love Boat" but it was more like a battle cruiser with all hands on deck. The sashimi was fresh and cold. The sushi was great. I ordered the Tiger Roll just to say Tiger. But it was a top notch choice anyway. Great spot for sushi, very reasonable. They also do hibachi. UPDATE: Tonight we came back for more of the same delicious sushi and sashimi. It has been a few weeks since our last visit and were welcomed back. The sashimi delux and the sushi delux were our chef assortments. They were artistically beautiful and tasty. read more

We can't visit Macon without coming here! If we lived closer this would be a frequent restaurant for us. So happy to see you are still open in such difficult times. Tonight's dinner was delicious just like we remembered. Miso soup tastes like my Japanese Grandmother made for us as children. Edamame as an appetizer is always a must. Sushi was beautiful and so tasty. Had to get mocha ice cream to go because I was so full. Bought hibachi streak and shrimp, spicy girl roll, and taco nigiri to go for our son! Much success for you all. Thank you read more

The food was great, service was fast and friendly. I had the Vegetable Yakisoba, it came with Miso soup. The noodles were smaller, more like angel hair (thickness at least) than what I'm used to but I couldn't say which is more authentic. There were lots of vegetables in it, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, onions, celery etc. I would recommended it and plan to come again. read more

Very easy to get a random reservation on a Thursday night for 8! Last-minute birthday party and accommodated us and even brought out one of those creepy hibachi birthday heads for the birthday boy to wear. While that whole experience was strange, they did a great job making him feel celebrated. The sushi was average and the hibachi was average but the service was very good. read more

Basic sushi restaurant. Big place, extensive menu and drink menu but does serve fresh sushi. Only go for shrimp tempura roll as it's hard to get that wrong. All other rolls, soups, fried rice, and noodles lacked flavor. Presentation is nice but no flavor. Sadly, I will not be back. read more

The ambiance was nice and the service was good except I ordered steamed rice and they brought me fried rice. The food portions were large. The hibachi and salad was drowning in sauce and dressing. Which was sad since the taste was fair to good and would have tasted much better without so much sauce. The sushi was average. read more

Seafood noodles where delicious. Ambiance was not spectacular at all. Great place for the fellows or family. Definitely not for a hot date or impress anyone. Staff was very friendly and responsive to my requests. Better for takeout or delivery. read more

The seats are HORRIBLE in the booths. The squish is real on those new benches BUT the leg support is NILL for tall people. I felt like I had to sit on the edge of my seat to eat. The incredible roll was really tasty! The hibachi chicken and steak were tasty and HUGE which is great for leftovers. All told it's a great value for all the food you receive. Recommend for hungry folks!! read more

We arrived at about 6:15 & we were promptly seated in the hibachi area. We were surprised that there were no other diners seated there at the time & started to wonder why it was so empty on a Saturday evening since there were so many glowing reviews. But our chef came to the table to get our orders started. He was very personable & made the experience quite enjoyable as he expertly prepared our dinners. I ordered the tilapia, & it was quite good. My husband ordered a sushi roll that he proclaimed excellent. We went with our daughter & her 3 children (ages 6,5, & 3). Portion sizes were abundant & prices were very reasonable. We asked about the lack of a crowd, & they told us it would come later. Sure enough, as we pulled out of the parking lot, cars were streaming in. read more

They have great vegetarian sushi, and their tofu teriyaki is the best in town. Service is always good and they're great with kids.
