Great place. The rolls were great AND it's like a mom and pop Sushi spot. Go in to order and you'll wait 20-30 minutes and your food is ready , or call in. I liked going in to see the sushi maker working. BTW - when I payed for my food they said " Thank you" ..... very refreshing ! I'll be back read more

My friends and I decided to stop by Sumo Sushi Express for lunch. Their lunch menu is served from 12:00-3:00pm and has affordable prices for sushi. While there is seating inside, it's more of a takeout restaurant. We ordered five different rolls and waited a bit. You order up front and wait until your order is ready. Everything comes in to go containers, so even if you dine-in it's still in takeout form. The woman working that cashier was kind. We got a tuna avocado roll, a salmon avocado roll, the Richmond roll, the dragon roll, and a sweet potato roll. These were huge portions. We still had some leftovers and we were three people. We enjoyed our rolls. My friend works nearby and was happy to learn about a new to her sushi spot from Yelp. This sushi spot if a bit farther from me, so I feel like I'd return for the lunch prices if I was nearby. read more

Sumo Sushi Express - Tuna avocado roll, salmon avocado roll, Richmond roll, dragon roll, sweet potato roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

This place featured some of the smallest sushi l've seen in a long time. The role was the size of a soda bottle cap. And that was the bigger cuts. Nothing was particularly good, just basic normal sushi you find anywhere else. And the lunch special that runs to 3 o'clock according to the sign posted, apparently ends at 2:30 when I arrived. I thought this was better long ago, but apparently cost cutting and whatever else has set in. $35 for two itty-bitty rolls and a soda was extreme for what I got. Time to go somewhere else. read more

Excellent sushi. This has to be one of the better sushi restaurants. I've had in richmond. Pretty quick and very clean. Limited seating. Great for takeout. This will be our new sushi restaurant. read more

We really liked sumo great sushi big rolls, small mom and pop type place with a few tables. Takes a bit to get your food as there is only the owner making the rolls. It is worth the wait though. read more

Always great Sushi and friendly service. I like their selection of rolls and it is always fresh and fast.

The food is amazing, the couple that owns it is friendly. Our family loves the food. The kids are 8 and 10 the beg to eat there. Well worth the money. It is fresh and delicious. read more

My go to spot, relatively cheap for sushi, especially if you go during lunch hours which I recommend. The place is run by a nice couple and the quality is incredible. I recommend the New York Roll if you go, it was divine. The place was also very clean and well maintained. read more

underrated sushi spot! the salmon quality was better than some other sit down restaurants in the rva. indoor seating is a little scarce, it's definitely marketed more towards takeout. read more

The food was inexpensive, yet still flavorful and fresh. I would recommend buying quick, and fantastic sushi from here.

For being in a strip mall, this mom and pop sushi place is a convinient option for some decent takeout sushi. Portions are large and the quality is decent. Standouts were the salmon nigiri and volcano roll. The tuna maki roll was decent but the tuna was chopped up, not whole pieces of fish. Gyoza was delicious and miso soup was just ok. All in all a good experience, and the owner and his wife were both very nice. The atmosphere definitely gels more like a takeout than eat in spot. read more

Nice spot! It's take out only right now and it's best to call in your order ahead of time. We walked over here from the hotel and didn't realize that (that's our bad though). Here's a picture of their menu as of 6/25/22. read more

Amazing food and my go to place for takeout sushi. I like the spicy tuna avacado and sweet potato rolls

Amazing little spot in Virginia center commons. Service is always great and the owners are always so sweet and make everything exactly how I like (I'm a little picky). I always get their sweet potato roll and avocado roll, and every time it's consistent and delicious. Definitely give this small spot a shot and you won't be disappointed! read more

Talk about a hole in the wall! I've seen this spot several times on my searches and can't belive it took me so long to finally order from them. They're located in a small strip by Buffalo Wings and it is my go to for whenever I'm craving sushi. I called in my order (9 items) and was told to pick up within 20 mins (very quick to be completely honest). I actually arrived in 15 mins and was told that it was already ready for pick up. Very impressive with the service. The buns were not warmed up because the cook/owner told us that it was best served when microwaved for 30 secs before eating. I really appreciated the info and no serving it hot when I arrived. It would've been cold by the time I got home too. Fantastic service. Delicious food. Beautiful presentation. Friendly and professional staff. Highly recommend and glad this is close by my house! read more

The best sushi spot in Richmond Metro! It's a take out only spot run by a kind husband and wife team. The ingredients are always fresh and the rolls are put together well. There's a great variety to choose from too. read more

I was driving through Virginia on vacation when I suddenly craved sushi, so I found this place through Yelp. For such a highly rated restaurant, I expected an elaborate restaurant setup. NOPE. If it weren't for Yelp, I'd surely miss this place! Despite the appearance of the restaurant, the sushi here is fantastic. My entire meal ran just a bit over $30, which is a bargain for the quality of ingredients that they use. For example, my favorite roll was the Alaskan Roll, which came topped with a hefty amount of real snow crab meat! As for the service, it's somewhat on the slow side. Despite the restaurant being mostly empty when I arrived, it still took 15 minutes for them to prepare my food. read more

Wow! This was so delicious and fresh! I ordered three rolls and it took about 20 minutes. The place was pretty empty on a Wednesday night in cold January. What a hidden gem!!! read more

Very good sushi with a great lunch special! Service was great, super nice and helpful. You are able to sit down inside, but it seems more of a takeout place. Nonetheless, I will definitely be back! read more

This is a must visit!! The sushi is amazing, and what's even better than the amazing sushi is the amazing price. The service is always quick and efficient and the sushi rolls taste delicious. 5 stars!! Definitely check them out. read more

This sushi restaurant is well worth the 5 stars! I have lived in California, Alaska, and the east coast, and this is some of the best sushi I have had. The rolls are larger than most sushi restaurants and they come with 10 pieces in each roll. The sushi rolls are well dressed, they taste amazing, and the price is great! I will recommend this place to anyone who comes to Richmond, and my husband and I will definitely be coming back here when we return to Richmond. Thank you to the owners! Keep it up! Please note: If you are picky with your soy sauce, bring your own. Still, I give this restaurant 5 stars! read more

I check out Sumo after seeing the Wednesday specials on Yelp. Thanks Yelp! I had the spicy California roll (10 pieces) and the crunchy shrimp roll (6 pieces). I ordered and waited about 20 minutes while my food was prepared. The Wednesday special is automatically give to you to-go in a plastic bag with soy sauce. Grab chopsticks on your way out and you're good to go! It was a lot of food and very fresh. I couldn't finish it all so I had the Spicy California for lunch the next day. It held up really well. Both rolls were tasty. I'll definitely be back soon! read more

Sumo Sushi Express - Wednesday specials menu as of October 30, 2019. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

Forget anything and everything you may have ever experienced at any other strip mall sushi spot. This is a legit sushi spot! They get all of the stars for being 1)super friendly and down to earth 2) very clean 3)having amazing sushi 4) being humble and 5) all of the above! I was running work errands during the lunch hour on a Wednesday and needed a quick bite. Of course, I turned to Yelp for nearby finds and a spot that had such good reviews (in an area that has such blah reviews may i add), so had to try it. I saw someone's tip about Wednesday specials, so yes, why not! When I walked in the owners greeted me with big smiles and were talking to other guests. One of the guest said alright see you next week, and my ears rang out like bingo, this must be the hot spot! Sushi is on special indeed on Wednesdays, so it's the premier items in the case. The owner was making the sushi right on the spot, so even though it was cased, you knew it was still fresh. Sushi was ahhmazing! I had zero intention of dining in, but it was so clean I decided why not. And, sushi isn't the most favorable car lunch dish haha. I also ordered miso soup, which was tasty too. The owners chatted with me while I dined and asked how was the food and were pleased that I was happy with my meal. I left there like omg can't wait to go back...so told my bf and took him there that night to try it (and he didn't share, darn). We went about an hour before close and the case with specials only had about 5 trays left, and not as much selection. So, easy to tell they had a busy day, because it's delish. Anyway, great spot that i would return to anyway honestly, but if you want to save a little or just try them out, Wednesday is your day! read more

Good sushi for the price. They're only open for take out at the moment so if you're looking for a place to sit down you'll have to go elsewhere. We walked in to order instead of calling ahead but they were still fairly quick. We got three rolls and watched them make all three in about 15 minutes. While it might not be the best sushi I've ever had it had good taste, satisfied my sushi craving, and didn't cost much. read more

I was doing some research on food spots near my new job and couldn't be more excited when I saw a take out sushi place with amazing reviews! Just a 6 minute drive from work and I arrive at this cute little hole in the wall sushi place in a strip mall. The service is friendly and FAST. I came on a Wednesday for 4.99 select sushi rolls around 4:45pm and I was the only person inside. It took 2 minutes for me to get my sushi and be on my way! The rolls have a great 'inside goodies' to rice ratio, and taste amazing. Everything tasted fresh the wasabi was kickin' and I left feeling full after two rolls!This is definitely going to be my new lunch spot slash take out sushi place! read more

Everything about this sushi spot is perfect! The presentation the clean environment and the price!

The sushi was really fresh but a little expensive. I did enjoy the Philadelphia rolls and the Spicy Salmon but I want them to be a little less stingy with the soy sauce packets. read more

Stayed at a hotel near hear and after reading reviews on Yelp decided to go for take out. The dumplings were great, was really hoping for pork buns but they were not serving them. The sushi was fresh and generous portions. Notably, the sashimi (tuna and salmon) was delicious. Always a treat to be eating great sushi in your hotel room while you knock out some emails. read more

A nice friendly place run by a Chinese couple. The husband is the sushi chef and the food is amazing, but the waiting is a tad bit longer than most. I came here with my parents and my daughter, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. My father was a bit disappointed with his Sashimi, since the portions were not nearly as generous as Sushi in his recent trip to Seattle. However, I thought the Sashimi was pretty generous for RVA standards. My daughter really enjoyed the gyoza, California roll and miso soup. I would definitely come again. Not the best place for parties more than 4, a really tiny cozy place. I guess you could put tables together but only two tables that seat 4 and other tables were all 2 seaters. read more

I just love this sushi place. While they've more than sushi, I regularly purchase their eel deluxe, salmon deluxe and tuna deluxe. The cost Is reasonable and taste great. In addition, it's good to know I'm supporting a small business run by a husband and wife team. Check it out read more

Nice and clean inside. We ordered in and waited close to 30 minutes for our food. Our order consisted of dumplings, seaweed salad, sweet potato roll and crabmeat roll. There is a wait here of course because the sushi being made is by two people. The woman took the order and then assisted the sushi chef. Many of the rolls are raw but but there are some items for those who prefer not too. The dumplings that my husband ordered were microwaved. The 2 sushi rolls that I ordered were not great. I'm sorry guys, but I went out of my way to stop here while traveling through Richmond and I wish I had saved my time and money. I've had much better. Will not return. read more
