A couple of friends had recommended this AYCE such restaurant and it was good enough but there was nothing to rave about. Our server was on top of things and very nice. Can't say we'd make the drive out 290 again from in town because there was just nothing about the food that wow'd us but you can certainly fill up for a reasonable set price. read more

I wish this spot was in my city! I love visiting Sumo Sushi when I go to Houston. The food is really refreshing and the sushi is always fresh testing. Most of the rolls are great as well. The ambiance is not bad however the floor is always so slippery. My most recent visit had absolutely wonderful service and our main server really cared about our food allergy concerns. read more

Absolutely great experience! We were on the hunt for the best sushi AYCE and I must say we have a top contender. The sushi is very fresh and comes out quickly. Portion sizes are just right to he able to get stuffed comfortably. Service was great as well! Most definitely without a doubt coming back. read more

Two visits in, and I still feel I may need another to fully explore all that Sumo has to offer. Why Sumo? A frequent flyer on 290, I'll find any excuse to have an impromptu adventure- the bright blue sign beaming from the freeway called for such an occasion. So, as a first time explorer, I decided to dine in. I ordered the Starburst cocktail drink, and grabbed an Alaska roll. This roll was the main character, and paired perfectly with my og crab Rangoon. I finished my meal with an unforgettable Passion fruit marg. This baby was definitely on the sweeter side so the tahin was as a nice touch to balanced everything out, The robot server addition to server service was certainly welcome, and with that, I was sold! Based on this trip, I was eager to return...so I did! My second trip was far less spontaneous- post workout takeout, and the experience may be partially on me in that I ordered in the evening for a 9:30pm pickup time...30 minutes before closing. I guess I was called to the Alaska roll because I reordered it alongside some crab Rangoon. I also added in some miso soup and a honeydew green tea. When reviewed the packaging looked flawless, but once opened there were a few concerns. No sweet and sour was provided with the crab Rangoon. Chopsticks were not included, and the Alaskan Roll felt like a distant cousin to the roll purchased on my first trip. Additionally, they impose an online ordering fee, even if you're ordering directly from their website. Again, 30 minutes before close, I wasn't expecting absolute perfection. So I'll use this as an excuse to return- third times a charm right? I saw one attached "sumo karaoke" out of the corner of my eye, so karaoke with the girls and ayce sushi it is . read more

I was tired and lazy to cook dinner, and of course my husband treated me out with sushi, which is my favorite. I picked this spot because I saw they have beautiful indoor decorations and also a robot that brings food to your table. Right when you walk in, you can feel the modern Japanese vibe. It looks really nice inside. They also have a lot of tables, so even if it is during busy hours, you probably can still get a seat pretty quick. I came on Monday around 4 PM, and at first there were only a few people, but later it started getting busy. The sushi here is fresh and delicious. The fish is fatty and sweet, which is exactly how I like it. I saw they had short ribs on the menu, and of course I had to try them. They were good but a bit too chewy, so it took a while to eat. The stir-fried vegetables were tasty with that nice seared flavor from the wok. The seafood soup really surprised me because they give a lot -- not just small pieces like some other places. The stir-fried noodles were also delicious. I liked that they added shiratake mushrooms, which I have never seen before in a noodle dish, and it tasted amazing. They have a big menu, and I wanted to try everything, but I couldn't. I also noticed they have boba and a large drink menu, which is nice if you want something fun to go with your meal. The service here was great. I saw some people say it was bad, but that is not true at all. Our server was really nice and kept checking on us, and the food came out super fast. If you love sushi, you can't skip this spot. The food is fresh, the service is good, and the place has a fun vibe. Plus, they have all-you-can-eat sushi -- so why not! read more

You can't beat the lunch price for their AYCE! Lots of options and lots to choose from. The servers are very prompt and friendly and the food comes out pretty quick for an AYCE place. I think the sushi was okay though. Their fried stuff was the star of the day! It all came out piping hot! read more

Visited this spot for our anniversary and I must say we will be back again. Place was a bit busy and the service was ok due to the amount of people dining that day, what stood out was the sushi of course. Nicely plated and fresh. I must say the place was clean and felt cozy even with the amount of people that were there. 100% recommend! read more

A friend took me for my birthday for lunch, it was my first time. It was really cool when the robot came around with our food, it only came by one time, and the waiters and waitresses brought the food the next couple times. If you get that all you can eat, the waitress will come and take your order, she'll continue coming back to you and order more as you're eating. It was wonderful. My friend did all the ordering because I'm not familiar with sushi but everything we ate was delicious. We had no complaints. The waitress was amazing. We will go back and I will take my family. We also got fried Oreos and ice cream with Cool Whip. It was amazing! read more

Sumo Sushi is one of my go-to AYCE sushi spots. They offer a good amount of cooked items for those who don't like sushi. Customer service is pretty good, and food comes out in a timely manner. Some items are better than others. I find the fish quality decent, except for my last visit when it seemed like it got slightly worst. I tend to order way too much and have to suffer in case they charge me for wasting food, but try to limit it to 2 rolls, a few cooked items, a soup, a mix of nigiri/sashimi and can't skip on the dessert. They have fried twinkies, oreos and bananas plus ice cream on the menu. It's good for groups b/c you get a set food price. I think you can order a la carte, but everyone in your party will also need to. Overall, it's worth going to if you live within a reasonable drive away. read more

All you can eat! 99% of the food was amazing but I did not like a few things (I think it was the squid balls?) but it was probably due to personal preference, I'm sure it would've been yummy to someone else!

Our son picked this place to celebrate his 35th birthday. We were so glad he did. I have to admit I wasn't expecting great things from an all you can eat sushi place, but this establishment exceeded all of our expectations. The restaurant is very clean and our waiter was amazing. Usually when you order at a sushi place you wait forever for your food to come out. Not here! There were at-least 5 on the sushi line making rolls and we could see in the back where they had a grill and fryer with lots of people in the back. Portion sizes were very adequate and they had everything from appetizers to hibachi style food to cooked and raw sushi. Every single thing we got was amazing. I enjoyed my sushi so much because it wasn't cut into ginormous bites. I was able to take a bite and breath while chewing ha ha We definitely recommend this place and for 20$ for lunch we will definitely be back. read more

This was a very good AYCE sushi restaurant. You order at your own pace, and then things come out as they are ready and prepared. Lots of different options for everyone, even non-sushi eaters. I tried crab salad, gyoza, eel sashimi, and 4 different rolls. Each roll was very fresh and not loaded with rice. The fish to rice ratio was even and perfect. Our waiter was nice and checked on us often to see if we wanted to put more food in. They also have the robot that brings out some of your food items. Definitely a great spot for sushi lovers! read more

By far one of our favorite spots to go to dinner at. It's nice that there is a place with all the picky eaters that I live with , can find something to eat . We always go for dinner and we do the " all you can eat". Service has always been good . We usually go out 5 so it isn't too crazy. Everyone is nice and it is always clean . As everything , it does end up being a bit pricey .But we always leave full and happy . It is one of my favorite places to get my sushi fix on . Definitely recommend. Sorry next time I will try and get more pictures before they make it my belly. I also like how they have a good selection of desserts on their all you can eat . read more

I've eaten there several times since they've opened at the beginning service and food was delicious overtime last three times I've been in there.

We love the all you can eat menu at these places, where it's similar to buffet style, except they bring the food to the table. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and large and open inside. We all opted for the all you can eat menu, the food was delicious, however the people bringing out the food weren't the most pleasant. Most of the time they would just throw the items on the table and not ask who they belong to. Other than that, our actual server was great and the food was good. read more

We enjoyed our last experience, so we decided to give this place another try. The food was great and the service was great. They make amazing hand rolls with fresh sashimi. read more

Stopped by for lunch with coworkers. They have very good all you can eat lunch prices. They're pretty strict with the no sharing, no leftovers rule so I'd be sure to order only what you can eat. The waiters are pretty attentive, although it does get quite busy during lunch time. I ordered a chicken katsu bento box. The chicken was good, the house salad was also very good which was expected. The shu mai was so tiny and cute but very tasty. The rice in the box was really bad, it tasted like day old rice. I'd definitely come back for lunch again. read more

Sumo Sushi - Chicken Katsu Bento Box - Japanese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Mixed feelings. I wanted to like this so bad and brought my friends here since they live nearby. AYCE lunch is $21.95 which is same / more expensive than others. The major thing is that the quality of fish was inconsistent and my whole table agreed. Some of the slices of fish like pepper tuna and yellowtail were breaking apart / didn't hold their integrity and would taste very fishy and even mushy sometimes - my friend had to go to the restroom to spit it out. All of the salmon had a weird texture which disappointed those who usually get salmon nigiri at ayce, The rolls came with 8 pieces each. The agedashi tofu was pretty flavorless and disappointing. The fried calamari was overfried. The spicy edamame was very flavorful and tasty but it was not spicy at all. Matcha ice cream was okay, not the creamiest I've had. Service was pretty fast. I'd go to sushi masa on westheimer whenever I get the urge for ayce because same price with better quality consistent fish, free drinks, and ramen! read more

A great place for friends and family! This restaurant is very kid-friendly too. Service was so fast and efficient - the servers are patient and really nice. The wait times/lines are insane on the weekends for lunch but they vet them pretty fast too since they have that 2 hour time limit. We waited just about 10 minutes. Their sushi is 10/10 for sure. I love how the rolls are smaller and the ratio of rice to fish is really good for my personal taste. I usually don't like too much rice and they nailed that. Their yaki udon was bland to me, could have been better. Their calamari, gyoza, crab rangoon, and tempura shrimp are good side dishes - fries were good too but that shouldn't be hard to make. Their fried oreos are fantastic with the green tea ice cream - I had to get 2! Overall just 4/5 stars because some of the side dishes could have been better but they really nailed every other aspect! read more

I do not have a single complaint about this place. It was my fiancé's birthday so we decided to try this place. We were sat immediately upon arrival. And our server was Logan, he was attentive and super accommodating. We came for the all you can eat dinner and it was a 10/10 - there's nothing we had that we didn't like. My top items: house salad, mushroom soup, short ribs, shaggy dog sushi roll! Everything was amazing! Will definitely return! read more

I found this place searching for bubble tea. I was pleased to see the variety of options they had in such a cool packaging.

The place is themed beautifully matching the vibe of the food. read more

I think I found my new favorite AYCE spots. Ambiance is really nice. Service was great. I had ordered passion fruit tea with strawberry popping pearls, and they mistakenly gave me the wrong topping. They were nice to correct the issue, even though at first waitress was giving a little pushback. Food was absolutely amazing and price was so reasonable as well. I think I ordered crab rangoons 7 times! read more

Did the dinner all you can eat and yummmy!!! Service was great and food was great. We did have to wait about an hour but it was worth it. Dinner was good, but you get more worth it for lunch! Short rib was recommended for us to get and ours was really chewy, we ordered two orders and could hardly eat it with the fat. Otherwise really good would come back for lunch! read more

Came in for some all you can eat sushi, and it wasn't bad but I would say it was one of the lowest quality ones I've tried. All sushi rolls I tried (we were 6 so we tried almost all of them) were average at best. Chicken wings, hibachi, and all the other sides were tried were also ok, but nothing special. I know it's all you can eat but still I expect a little better quality. Wouldn't say don't try it, but I found nothing special to complement. Service and seating was alright too, big space inside. Something positive... The Diet Pepsi tasted better than a lot of restaurants? read more

Pleasantly surprised by this place. Would probably rank it in my top 3 Houston buffets because it's very affordable, good quality for the price point and kid-friendly. It's only $20 for lunch buffet on a Saturday. I expected them to charge the dinner rate all day. Kids any age need to pay but i think that's fair. And honestly at most restaurants the kid menu is at least $6 anyway. If you don't want to do the buffet they also have other options such as bentos which are also reasonably priced. The boba drinks are a bit small for the price but tasted pretty good. I really like how on the buffet menu you can request hand rolls also. The Sumo's special rolls all tasted about the same so next time I'll stick to the nigiri and hand rolls. Quality of the sushi is decent...definitely better than some low priced restaurants out there ahem oishii ahem. Pro tip: The right way to end here is with the fried Oreo paired with matcha ice cream. The best part which pushed me to give the 5 stars also is how efficient they are service. We ordered almost immediately after sitting down, afraid of long waits and hard to find servers but our service was awesome. Food came out quickly and our server would periodically check on us to order more food. read more

Honestly what's to complain about this place I love the food here they make it fresh they do their best to make the service fast and also they make ordering very easy you can't complain when it's only 40 dollars for the all you can eat that's amazing for what your getting and the presentation is wonderful this is honestly a go to spot hopefully they open more spots. read more

Could've been better. The indoor decor and setting was very nice. The food was a little less than average and the service was not it for me. Service: I am fully aware it is AYCE sushi, or at least it's optional, and I did opt for AYCE (All You Can Eat). The server made me feel rushed and assumed after my first round of eating I was ready for dessert... When he came by to grab the empty plates he asked, "Are you ready for dessert?" NO, I want to order more. Towards the end of my meal, he closed me out with a mobile handheld. He asked if I wanted the receipt and I said "yes". I went to the restroom and came back to see my table was cleaned off and I asked him where's my receipt and he looked at my table and said "Oh they must've thrown it away..." At this point I said "nevermind" and left. The service was awkward, and I find the server's assumption to be offensive suggesting I should be done after 2-3 portions. Food: The seaweed salad and crab rangoons taste as they should. The sushi rice was off because I did not care for it in the nigiri or the rolls. The white tuna and mackerel was dry. The fried roll was mediocre. The non fried roll was falling apart, and I didn't understand the dried orange slice garnish. That should be a cocktail garnish. I'm no sushi chef, but if it's on the plate it should be edible. Overall: Unfortunately, I will not be returning. Taizzi Sushi and Sushi Ichii are still my favorite AYCE sushi places. read more

No complaints here! Their sashimi was fresh and the rolls were tasty. Service was quick and attentive--they came back to check on us often, even when it was busy! The ambiance. Filled with chatter and music. Aesthetic of the place is great as well! The only thing I'd mention is that the rolls tasted pretty similar to one another. But overall, a great spot for sushi--would definitely come back! read more

Masa, you'd better watch out! Sumo isn't new to the AYCE sushi scene, but it certainly is to my heroic appetite - and it sure holds its own. Alex P. was in town for Lunar New Year so we stopped by the other day for a late lunch. We were promptly seated and felt rather surprised to see how lively it was at 1:30-ish pm - as you dear readers know, crowds are not necessarily a bad thing when it comes to AYCE since it portends a good turnover rate. We perused both the affordably-priced lunch menu as well as the full dinner menu and jointly decided to go all-in on the expanded options, which includes not only a larger array of hot food and rolls but also the option to order sashimi instead of only nigiri. Of course, we had to go straight for a hefty plate of sashimi cuts, beautifully presented on a faux-bamboo plate; everything was well-portioned and fresh, just as we had hoped! We followed that up with a few rolls and hot plates - of mention were the spicy-Cheetos-stuffed Godzilla roll (don't knock it till you try it), the hibachi grill items (seasoned and sauced to umami perfection), and the crispy house wings (a sleeper hit, quite honestly). We switched back to sashimi before an encore round of our greatest plates and dessert - definitely save room for the banana tempura, and ask for a scoop of green tea ice cream on the side! Through it all, our waitress was kind, efficient, and patient: truly some of the best service I've received at an AYCE sushi joint. I'm already planning my next outing to Sumo the next time I find myself up near Jersey Village, and to take along a few more friends so that they can share in the sushi rampage as well - see you there soon! read more

Sushi was only average. About the same you would get at the grocery store sushi section.

I love sumo, at dinner time. Lunch however, worse than mid. There is other AYCE places that outshine this quality dare I even say grocery store sushi would have stood higher than what was served. I only order these few items and paid and left. I went on a Saturday afternoon and they were busy but not busy like they are at night. At night the quality is perfection no complaints. The lunch has a great atmosphere and we had a lovely server. But food wise, what is this? The spicy mayo was basically water and the quality of the fish you can see with your eyes. I would rather a place stick me with a 33$ bill at lunch and offer the same quality they do dinner than justify their quality lacks because they offer it at 21$. I suggest only going at dinner time. read more

Fun Experience, but Sushi Could Be Fresher Nothing beats having your sushi delivered by a robot--such a cool and fun experience! It definitely adds a unique touch that makes dining here exciting. Now, I won't lie--when it comes to sushi, I'm super bougie and picky , so I'm giving this place 3 stars because I felt like the fish could have been fresher. That being said, I was with friends who absolutely loved it and gave it 5 stars, so it really depends on what you're looking for! The service was great! Our waitress was incredibly patient and handled our group so well, which I truly appreciated. Overall, if you're looking for a fun and unique dining experience with good service, this place is worth checking out! Hopefully, next time the sushi quality will match the cool atmosphere. read more
