We did all you can eat, so I suppose you can't expect too much. Still, I left this place pretty disappointed, though at least decently full. Sumo Sushi & Grill was located conveniently close to our hotel, and with a sushi craving hitting me hard, I talked everyone into coming here for a late lunch. While they do have a la carte options, I felt like the all you can eat was a better deal, especially if you plan on ordering more than a couple items. Their fish selection is pretty limited, but I was excited that they had a decent number of tuna items. I went a little hard on that and ordered a bunch of tuna cut rolls and nigiri. They do have a lot of rules at this place, though we found the ordering process pretty straight forward, and the waiter was pretty helpful in explaining everything. There are only a couple items on the menu that cost extra, but be careful. Overall, I thought the sushi quality was pretty disappointing. The tuna nigiri was especially bad, with the tuna rolls being a little more appetizing. If looking for a sushi restaurant in Amsterdam, you can probably do better than this, at least I hope. If you don't mind low quality fish, this place will suffice, however, if you are used to good sushi, you'll likely be disappointed. Food aside, service and ambiance were both nice. No complaints in that department. read more

Sumo Sushi & Grill - Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

It was good quality sushi, and it was fine service bringing out my orders and getting my drinks. In fact, even ordering on the tablet was incredibly cool. But the limitations and restrictions on the "all you can eat" aspect of it really bring it down. You can only order 5 times, like 5 pieces of sushi or 5 things. They have options, but not THAT many. Also, you're time restricted etc. It just makes everything less fun and kind of a pain. The portions are also small, so I mean, it really wasn't all I could eat. read more

See all

A new Sumo opened here a few months ago and I have to say, this is NOT Japanese food. It's Japanese inspired fusion food. The food's not bad, it's just everything but authentic. The decor looks awesome, the staff is young and hectic and thus in turn, oblivious at times. They work with a checklist "all you can eat" system but restrictions apply, naturally. If you're going here with a small group expecting food and not necessarily Japanese food, then you'll have a good time if you're somewhat tolerant of an, at times, chaotic service. read more

This place has a cool concept. You can either chill outside and order and pay as you go or you can go the route we did and ate inside for all you can eat sushi for 30 euros. We ate earlier since we had a couple plans to check out in the city later on so what better way than to stuff your face with delicious sushi before you go? You order off of a tablet and the food is prepared and cooked and brought out to the table. All of the items were really good. The only one we really passed on was the grilled salmon, it was a bit too salty. But overall Nice restaurant. Good food. Good service! read more

"All you can eat" option is a lot! You can pick five dishes per person x six times. So you can choose so many things (5 diff things each round if you want) to try which is really nice but it's a lot by the fifth round.... it's also timed so be weary of that. Nice atmosphere. Good energy and vibe. Wine was ok. But not the best. read more

Wow - amsterdam has the "all you can eat" down. It's a funny version of all you can eat - as in - there are limitations. Limitations you will never come close to meeting... There are 5 rounds, 5 items per person. There are over 60 items to choose from - nigiri, rolls, hot food, sesame balls... everything, anything! The staff works in such a was, that, you don't really have a waiter, or server. Someone comes and takes your drink order, then you just hand over you list of desires... As items are completed, someone or multiple someones come around and hand out things you ordered! You list is returned, fill out what you want on the next round, hand it to any server, repeat. The sushi is tasty, quality is nice, options are fun! Fan favorites: Crunch roll Beef roll Eel (each nigiri is one piece) Salmon Tuna Sesame balls Don't do it: Pesto shrimp Spicy tuna (it's spicy tagarashi type type on the outside, no spice inside) Fried tofu Pretty much most everything is very tasty, even the fried chicken wings! Save up your calories and have a fun night! read more

Not super fresh sushi, byzantine ordering system, overcooked ribeye. These places (Sumo, Shabu Shabu) aren't really that great at all. I'd suggest finding a place that actually serves fresh fish and takes more care in preparing things. read more

So you know, all you can eat sushi... Kind of a novel approach. 5 pieces per person at the table (Rolls are 3 pieces of a roll per order) for 5 rounds. The four of us made it to round 3 i think. It's also not just sushi, lots of other tasty treats to fill up on. The entire process is pretty well done, staff is buzzing about endlessly so you hand your order to anyone passing by and shortly after that someone else drops off your order and your order form. read more

I like the all-you-can-eat sushi concept that seems quite popular in Amsterdam. My friends and I have always gathered for meals at Tokyo Cafe on the Spui, but I wanted to change it up and have something a bit more upscale, so we decided on Sumo on Vijzel. Interior is quite beautiful, very intimate and visually appealing. We were seated promptly even on a very busy Thursday night. We were able to order drinks right away and begin ordering sushi. I was a bit turned off by the extensive list of huis regels (house rules) listed on the back of the menu kaart... a bit unfriendly if you ask me. (Especially considering Tokyo Cafe offers just a multi-hour window with 2 seating times for dinner -- -no other limitations). HOUSE RULES -During Japanse dinner you get two and half hours to the menu to order. -At least 1 drink / consumption per person. Served during lunch / dinner. -Ordering an order, is simple by self-completion. -Up to five meals per person may be ordered at a time. -You can order again, when the previous order is served. -Waste is not valued, therefore we apply a fee. -Please, order what you can eat. -Remains due to waste additional charge: € 1.00 per sushi and € 2.00 per hot dish. Nothing says relaxed atmosphere like a rule book for dinner, ugh. Since they charge extra for uneaten dishes, you can imagine we were quite irritated when on two occasions we were brought dishes that we had either ordered on a previous round already, or had not ordered at all. Both times that we IMMEDIATELY alerted the server and did not touch the order (you are not assigned a specific server for your table), we were met with an attitude and reluctance to remove the dish - even though the order card that remains on your table can clearly show your order history. The attitude was not appreciated. Furthermore, we had 2 bowls of edamame beans and the server came and removed the 2nd, brand new bowl (thinking it was shells I guess?) ... another disappointment. Sushi was good quality and there is a good selection of items. However, watch out that you take note of the surcharge for sashimis, etc. - this is not the norm at Tokyo Cafe, and I find it a bit tacky. Overall, very beautiful restaurant, good sushi, and terrible service, just as other reviews have stated. Give Tokyo Cafe a try if you're looking for a low hassle in a more casual atmosphere. read more

I tried this place on a Sunday night. Restaurant was about half full and sushi sounded good but after waiting fifteen minutes to get served I left. All you can eat doesn't really work if you can't get any food. I'd suggest going elsewhere if you're hungry. read more

Not great sushi - touristy and expensive. The all-you-can eat is so programmed and times for ordering it's hard to explore. Avoid.

Excellent tuna! All of the Tuna rolls were very flavorful & tasted fresh. I loved the interior designing of this restaurant. It was very traditionally themed with red painted walls & seating along with red overhanging dim lighting. read more

We walked in 35mins before the all-you-can-eat buffet menu ended. 25 euro isn't bad at all considering their large choice of sushi/sashimi and smoke salmon salad/all kinds of rolls, handrolls, lambchops(our favorite!! super tender and very well seasoned), ribeye steak, all types of skewers, gyoza, etc. As long as you finish the each round, you can order 2nd and 3rd so forth. You get ice cream of your choice: green tea, sesame, vanilla. Not bad and the fish tasted fresh. read more

First time than I'm actually so angry what I will write a review. I asked them to explain their non-limit menu (20 euros for day), and order this one. Then, I was pressing sushi for a while, and when I asked for the final bill it was 47 euros. It appeared what the waiter thought what I didn't want to order non-limit menu, and was just ordering sushi from their "only non-limit" list. Then I started to complain, they told me why it was my bad what I didn't made it clear enough. And still forced me to pay 47 euros read more

Went here again today at lunch time. The food was good enough to warrant an update. We went with the a la carte menu and spent €29 for two people. The all-you-can-eat would have been much more expensive and too much food. The chicken noodles were good, similar to yakisoba, and we got a large to share. The seaweed salad was large and was green salad underneath with seaweed salad on top. It was a good combination. We added an 8-piece salmon sashimi, which was a good value at €8. Lunchtime service was quick and attentive, and we didn't have any trouble getting our bill at the end. read more

I had the AYCE and it was awesome! I would even go so far as to say the sushi was AMAZINGLY fresh but then again I'm from the Midwest of the US :) Great selection, decent portions and I thought the ordering system was easy to follow. I'd definitely recommend! read more

This is the best sushi I've ever eaten! Sooo many options and it is an all you can eat! Besides that, the ambience is just amazing! The staff is nice, fast and organized and the place looks gooorgeous. Gonna come back everytime we are in Amsterdam. read more

Sumo Sushi & Grill - Japanese Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

This place is a scam. On the door it says 29.95 all you can eat. Then we find out it's actually 30.95. We started ordering anyways and were given a long list of rules. However, our waitress neglected to tell us that we must also order one drink with the all you can eat sushi. We were only informed of this policy after we read thefine print in the menu and called a member of the waitstaff over. Amost all of the drinks were 3.50 or more (water being 3.50, actual drinks being overpriced). read more

I have been to Sumo several times and always felt un-welcomed. The staff is unfriendly and dishonest - do not leave anything behind because they will never return you any forgotten belongings. And what's more, for the price you pay the food is not even that fresh. Their food is not prepared with care and neither are they served with care. read more

On the way to the Van Gogh museum we stopped at Sumo for an AYCE buffet that would leave us satiated for most of the day. I've read a few complaints on here that state that this wasn't really unlimited eating as they limit you to a few pieces and give you only 5 or 6 rounds and a time limit of about 2 hours. If dozens of pieces of sushi and a fair amount of variety throughout the menu along with a 2 hour time limit isn't enough, I feel like you have bigger problems in your life that you need to address ASAP. Contrary to popular belief most AYCE sushi places that I've been to, do tend to limit you a bit, when it comes to variety, how often you can order without the waiter/waitress getting irritated and maximum allotted time. At Sumo you use the designated tablet on your table to place your order with the sushi arriving only a few short minutes later. You have five rounds I believe, which makes everything more organized and we didn't have to keep calling over for the waitress when we wanted to place another order. Sushi was very solid, priced around 22, 23 euros with a fair amount of variety as well. A no-brainer if you're on the way to Musuemplein or simply biking around Amsterdam with a healthy appetite for sushi. read more

Nice little restaurant between Dam square and Rembrandt square. Came here with a group of colleagues after our busy day of work! It's a nice and cozy spot on a busy Amsterdam street. They have a lot of vegetarian options...sushi and otherwise. The tempura sweet potatoes were great! The ordering is a bit confusing but the staff was all very sweet and walked us through it. Worth a stop in when in the area! read more

Wonderful, many separate dishes for tasting! Servers were great! You have 90 minutes to taste many dishes! read more

Rude staff, some strange rules, and fish is not very fresh. Also, you need to pay extra for some sushi staples like sashimi or edamame. I won't be coming back. read more

Super yummy food, super fast service, friendly waiters, nothing to complain!!! It gets so busy almost every night. So make sure you have a reservation!!!! read more

This place is a chain which I am pretty against but boy was this place good. You get a lot of bang for your buck doing an all you can eat lunch here. Staff are nice and helpful. The ambiance in this restaurant is floral and elegant. The only weird thing is that they won't refill hot water for your tea. A couple of places did this so I'm assuming this is a European thing, I don't know. Everything aside, we were STUFFED after this. Great location for shops, etc which is good because you will need to walk it off after! read more

Had dinner with girlfriend there, while paying a mouse crossed over the restaurant and we were being informed that's how Amsterdam is.. The food is still tumbling in my tommy, and hard to return! read more

Ill never go back to this place again... Sushi are good but not the best I've ever eaten. Dishes taste good as well, but again the quality, as for the sushi, was not the best. Because of that I had food poisoning. I got sick during 2 days because of the side dishes (meat). Probably Ill-conditioned or yesterday meat... any way, cookers have stuff to do with it. The restaurant is nice and service is quick, but it's really noisy in the evening. I wouldn't recommend this place if you go there for quality and if you want to keep what you paid for inside your stomach... Have fun ;) read more

Always good and always all you can eat..the food is beyond average, the service fast and the overall quality excellent, especially for large groups! read more

I love this place. Considering the amount of food you get, it's very cheap. What costs is actually all the drinks and sodas, because you eat so much. They have fantastic sushi, barbecue, and, yeah, never dissatisfied, always way too full. read more

Pros - big place, big choice of sushi etc. Cons - not tasty. Something is missing. That's the main thing. I am yet to find a good sushi place, definitely not this one if you love sushi. However, it might be due to the fact that I ordered from the lunch menu "all you can eat" - may be it is not as good. I can't say people were super friendly either. Feels average, food could be better definitely. I would recommend this place if you are really really hungry. A 20-euro almost unlimited lunch - is a good deal in that case after all. read more

This place is very average for those who love sushi. First, it markets itself as an "all you can eat" type of a restaurant, but you can order only 5 dishes per time and 5x max. So, you have restrictions on how much and what you can order each time. On the good side, you probably won't order more than 5x, I was full after 3 rounds. Second, The flavors, variety and selection is not very extensive as I expected. Also, when I asked for ponzu sauce the waiter had never heard of it and said that they don't have such a sauce. Overall, an ok place and service, but food wasn't as good as I had hoped. read more

Sumo Sushi & Grill - Inside - Japanese Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

I don't think I've ever liked a restaurant less. Overpriced warm sushi that tasted anything but fresh. The staff are rude to boot. I'm still shocked this place has anything but horrible reviews, and I was really excited to go to this place and wanted to love it. read more

Had dinner here tonight when a mouse ran trough the restaurant. After we complained, the manager told us this is normal in Holland. When I mentioned in Dutch, that I actually am Dutch (we had spoken in English until then as a courtesy to my table partner), and that this is not normal in The Netherlands, we got little reply. Disappointed by the mouse, but even more by the reaction of the management. read more
