    Great sushi and great lunch special. I come here almost entirely for the lunch special lmao. You can get either 2 rolls and a soup or salad for 10.95 or 3 rolls for 13.95. I love it. I usually get the 3 roll special and never regret it, lol. They also are really quick with making it,so their service is pretty good. The only downside of this place is the interior. It's not much of a sit-down restaurant. There is very limited seating. You're much better off ordering to-go.

    small shop probably best for take out It's cheap sushi. Service was alright. Some strange thing but I'm pretty certain it's a one off. No restroom/broken.

    I got Sumo Sushi for take out. The Sumo Sushi Special was delightful! Very flavorful and fresh. The fantasy roll was also exceptionally delicious. The scallion pancakes are not something I recommend getting for take out. I'm not sure how they are when they're fresh, but they didn't taste good at all when they made it home. Very greasy and floppy, not crisp like we were hoping. I'd be willing to try it in the restaurant for a fair review!

    Usually only get take-out, but they never fail to disappoint. Great rolls for a very reasonable price!! Always a staple to have in the neighborhood when you don't feel like cooking!

    Business trip to Philly for a couple of days and I always find a sushi place to go. This place was close to my hotel and had decent reviews. I walked there to only find out they are only doing take out or delivery. For me not a problem. They have a QR code on the window for the menu. Ordered al la carte: miso soup, 2 hand rolls and various sushi including yellow tail, tuna, octopus and flying fish roe. Nice size pieces and everything was super fresh. Very much enjoyed it and will come back next time in town. They also prepared everything within 10 minutes.

    This place had the most highly rated lunch special in Philly on Foursquare and I see why. My sushi was fresh and the portions were generous. I would definitely recommend it and will be back in the future!

    Tasty sushi in a very con convenient location. Got a sushi combination for four which was plenty, as well as two soups and a salad. Very fresh fish, large but manageable pieces, and great dressing on the salad (although japanese salads are always super tiny). My favorite was the salmon, super tender and neutral, with avocado.

    Shout out to this business for providing an awesome COVID-19 take away experience. We ordered online and the food was ready in 15 minutes for pickup!! I couldn't believe how quick. Just as an FYI their address changed from broad, they're now located on the corner of pine and 13th. But wow! So delicious - I ordered four specialty rolls: red dragon roll, sumo special, Sukaro, and rainbow roll. Highly recommend ALL four. Everything was delicious and very fresh. We were craving sushi and this hit the spot! Also got a standard salmon and avocado roll - which was soo delicious (the salmon literally melts in your mouth). Side note: they also included a complimentary seaweed salad this time which was the cherry on top. Definitely give this business a chance especially how kind and awesome they were when I picked up the food. Extremely appreciative and they did an amazing job having great quality food during this hard time! Will definitely order again.

    The food is amazing!! I ordered the Sushi and Sashimi lunch platter which included 4 pieces of sushi 8 pieces of sashimi and one salmon avocado roll. It was extremely fresh even though it was delivered and they were generous with the serving. There was enough for two meals and was a very good price.

    Food was good but unfortunately not ready by the time that I was there to pick it up. Ordered at 2 to be ready by 250 and didn't leave until after 305 even though there were few people in the restaurant! I ordered the happy lunch with a California, Spicy Tuna and Alaskan roll and all were great. Also got a great surprise that Miso soup was included which I didn't know. I'll be back potentially for dine in when I'm not in such a rush!

    I was craving sushi and really didn't go to far. Luckily Sumo is right around the corner from me and ordered the spicy tuna and crab rolls. They definitely hit the spot and were amazing. The amount of rolls was an unexpected gift, so I definitely will be back for me. If you're looking to get some sushi on the fly, I would definitely recommend popping in!

    Better than Fuji Mountain and Vic's Sushi. I am a traditionalist and love shrimp tempura so I literally ordered the lunch special with eel avocado roll, shrimp tempura roll and a dragon roll. All had amazingly crunchy shrimp tempura and fresh avocado - hit the spot!! I also appreciate that we arrived at 3:05 on Saturday and they still honored lunch special (which is supposed to end at 3 PM M-Sat). Workers are always on their phones and look very unhappy so I wouldn't say the waitstaff was the best but good solid sushi!

    Spicy tuna roll, fusion roll, and spicy salmon roll
    Nelly G.

    My favorite place to order in sushi from! In terms of grubhub delivery, it's awesome that they deliver to Old City without charging any fee and the minimum is only $10. I have also been to the restaurant once for lunch, and it's very casual with some great lunch specials. My go-to's are usually the miso soup, spicy tuna roll, spicy salmon roll, and the sashimi appetizer. The fish is always fresh and the price is very reasonable. I've also tried some of their special rolls such as the Fusion roll and the Red Dragon roll which have been delicious, but definitely more pricey. They also have a good seaweed salad, as well as their avocado salad. Overall I've been satisfied with everything I've tried at Sumo, and I will continue to order from here!

    Just look at this amazing presentation!

It's the usual center city parking situation - try your luck with street parking or park in one of the decks. This place is pretty low key but way more spacious that it looks from the outside. It's relatively "no frills" when it comes to vibe as service, very casual - definitely not fine dining, lighting is a little harsh. We got the Love boat for 2 - which comes with one miso soup and one salad (so hopefully you're willing to share or maybe one of you only wants soup and the other wants salad). The boat was ok - didn't really hit the spot in the way that I had hoped. Karaoke rooms are open and pretty loud but they sound fun. Maybe I'll come back and check those out but I likely won't be back otherwise.

I had the rainbow roll because it had a BOGO offer, making 2 rolls only $16. However, the rolls were SMALL and basically just a California roll with a tiny sliver of fish on top. Two was the perfect amount for me and I don't eat that much, so I would've been quite upset if I'd paid over $30 for that. Aside from the price and size, it wasn't very good. There wasn't much imitation crab inside (which is relatively inexpensive anyways) and the fish on top wasn't very fresh so I ended up taking it off. The salmon sashimi pieces were also half cooked? Super weird... Maybe the food would be better in person, or if I didn't order sushi for takeout, but I probably won't be coming back here :(

We ordered the crispy chicken bao buns, crispy shrimp, general tso soup dumplings, wagyu beef, Korean bbq beef, and hamachi ceviche. We were a group of 3 so one thing that was nice was that our waiter added 1 additional skewer/bao bun for the meals instead of ordering 2 plates of them. Out of all the food we ordered the most delicious were the meats; the wagyu and Korean bbq beef. They were so tender and lightly seasoned because the beef quality itself was good. The Wagyu beef was paired with an apricot dip that was really good. The chilli crisp chicken bao was also good but didn't have much sauce, so it was on the dry side. It was supposed to have chilli so we expected it to be spicy but it was not. We all really liked the crispy shrimp--it was truly crispy. The sauce and the radish paired really nicely with the shrimp as well. The one meal we did not enjoy were the soup dumplings. When we got them they were dripping of raw dough and had no soup in them. The waiter was kind enough to replace them but we still didn't really enjoy them. I did not try the hamachi ceviche because I'm pregnant but it was also a favorite from the group. For dessert we had the mini ice cream cones. The waiter again added an extra one for us. The flavors were chocolate banana and mango. They were good, small bites. One of them melted so quickly and fell on the table and the waiter was really kind and got us a replacement. I did use the bathroom and absolutely hated it. It was unbelievably dark in there and there were weird sounds playing in there. I went in there to make sure I didn't have food in my teeth but couldn't even see. Super inaccessible, hopefully that's something that can be changed. The service overall was clearly excellent! I would recommend this place, especially if you come for the meats. It was surprisingly filling too.
