Food in this place is way better any other buffet at the casinos. Service was great! There were only 2 server staff that day too. 1 just taking orders and the other serving the food. Ambiance is awesome! They are very accommodating. The only thing was my 3 year old was charge and one ala carte upon. WE all ordered AYCE, since service was soon good and the food was great, it didn't matter to us! Will definitely hit this place up again when visiting Vegas. read more

This is the best place for sushi, hands down. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Food is spectacularly good. I've eaten sushi in a lot of different places while traveling and can confidently say I've not had better than this. Not cheap, just good. read more

Good food, good service, and decent prices. The menu was a little off and the EBI sauce cost extra though it looked like the 1st one came with the rice bowl. It was good. The fried chicken was decent. I liked it but probably wouldn't order it again for $9. The dip was some sort of Japanese mayo with seasoning. It was good. Always solid food here. I'll be back. read more

The waitress was very friendly and that was really the only thing worth mentioning. The food is average and took a long time to come out. The fried rice was very greasy. The price was higher than the quality of food. read more

It kinda felt like a Chinese takeout place, but for sushi. Also a true statement i got the runny poops the next morning

We rolled into Sushi Sumo late, the kind of hour where most kitchens are already scrubbing the line and looking at the clock. But here, we weren't met with a cold shoulder; we were met with a warmth that felt genuinely human. We wanted the Tonkotsu. They were out of ramen noodles--a casualty of the late hour--but they pivoted, subbing in thick, chewy udon. It was a revelation. The broth was a deep, soulful masterclass in pork, where the fat glistened on the surface in a way that was unapologetically delicious yet strangely delicate. It's the kind of happy accident that only happens when a kitchen actually gives a damn. Between the Shrimp Tempura Udon and that pork broth, they didn't just meet the mark--they knocked it out of the park. This isn't just a meal; it's a reminder of why we eat out in the first place." read more

One word: wow! I was very pleased with my experience at Sushi Sumo. After I finished work for the day in Decatur, I wanted to try somewhere local for lunch. This place has been in my bookmarks for a while and wasn't too far from my location, so off I went! They were doing a brisk enough business at around 1 PM. The location is a tiny bit off the beaten path with a couple other nondescript businesses in a small shopping center. Don't be fooled, though -- the food and service was exceptional. Upon entering, I was politely encouraged to sit wherever I'd like. They have a cute outdoor patio but I decided to sit inside as it was chilly out. The interior has a nice, understated, traditionally Japanese restaurant vibe to it. You can see the chef making rolls behind the counter, which is fun. The menu has a large selection of mostly Japanese dishes, but there are a couple of Korean options as well. Embarrassingly, I'm not yet a sushi-eater and I've been desperately missing my usual Korean spot in Huntsville ever since it closed (shout-out to Big Oh's!), and so I couldn't help but decide on their gyoza bowl. This is a bit like a Korean rice bowl, but with gyoza! You can also get the more standard beef, chicken, or veggies. Bowls come with your choice of steamed or fried rice, lettuce, glass noodles, and your protein/entree of choice, along with your sauce(s) of choice, like Korean bbq sauce or spicy mayo. My gyoza bowl was absolutely delicious. The gyoza were crispy, savory, and tender on the inside. The fried rice had the perfect smokiness and texture. The glass noodles were a unique addition for me and I enjoyed their chewy bounciness. Only a small amount of sauce is drizzled on top when the bowl is delivered; the rest is left up to you in a small cup. I like the amount of control this affords you - although I did use all my sauce eventually. The spicy mayo was not particularly spicy (then again, spicy mayo is almost an oxymoron, right? lol), but I did enjoy the nice zing and creaminess it brought. Service was exceptional, too -- very friendly, prompt but not pushy, and attentive. My lunch was, I thought, quite affordable for the portion size and quality, at under $20 for my meal, a Pepsi, and tip. I didn't have any gyoza leftover but there was enough rice and greens left for a small serving to-go if I'd been so inclined. One final last nice feature worth mentioning is that the check can be paid by scanning the QR code on the receipt. This allows for a quicker exit. However, if you're not tech-savvy or don't feel comfy doing so, you can always opt to pay at the counter. Edited/updated before I even posted the final review: brought my parents and husband out to Decatur to see the cranes at Wheeler and I enjoyed this place so much I drug them here to try it only like 2-3 weeks after my first visit. It was just as delightful the second time. My dad, who is traditionally a bit averse to pretty much all varieties of Asian cuisine (idk why - just not much experience with it, I guess) even loved it -- enough that he said he'd return to Decatur just to visit Sushi Sumo again. AMAZINGLY high praise. Honestly, this may just be my favorite Japanese restaurant that I've tried in north Alabama so far. I'm glad work brings me out here enough that I'm sure I'll get to visit again relatively soon. read more

Foood is AMAZING! Service is friendly, fast, and quiet! I cannot say this enough the raw salmon plate with the tobiko is a 100/10! Got the soft shell crab, SO YUMMY and good crunch (I thought the shell would be an issue but it's actually so good). Ramen, BOMB. They never miss. Will always come here for comfort and this is coming from someone who thought they didn't like fish read more

Sushi Sumo - Spicy miso ramen. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Decatur, Alabama

Quality food, great service and nice people! I love their ramen, and the sushi is very high quality. I'm careful about sushi and this is one of the few places in the region I'll order it. Their tempura is very light, not greasy as in so many other places. Prices are reasonable, especially for food of this high quality. Everything I've tried there is excellent. read more

Reviews caught my attention, but I don't trust most people around here when it comes to sushi, but the fact they cook their ramen broth for several hours caught my attention. The place is cute, it doesn't seem like it from outside but it's nice inside. I'd love to return when it's warmer because the patio was nice. They blanked out part of the drink menu, wine and such, so stick to non alcoholic drinks for now. I got the salmon carpaccio with lychee sauce, omg so good. They did well with the salmon sourced for it. I also got the tonkotsu ramen, and I would give it a 3 out of 5, noodles were good, but broth could have been thicker, egg was a bit cold, and there was only one piece of charshu that was a bit dry, the add-ons were good though. Service was great, and I'm pretty sure the folks running this place are japanese. I wanna return and try the sushi next time. read more

Great sushi. Awesome customer service. I ordered the tuna poke bowl and it was fresh, full of flavor.

Loved that I found an authentic Japanese restaurant in Decatur! The waitstaff and owner were very attentive and kind. The food was delicious and I would recommend the ramen! 10/10! read more

Food: We ordered the Lion Roll, the Mexican, the Big Bang and the Scream. All rolls were delicious and were very filling. Service: Service was good as our waitress took care of everything for us and never let our cups get empty. Ambiance: The inside is decorated nicely in Japanese style, but nothing extravagant. It was nice and quaint. The music was strange for a Sushi restaurant but it wasn't bad, just not fitting to the overall style. If you want great sushi, go here... it will not disappoint. read more

Sushi Sumo is by far our favorite restaurant in Decatur & is our go-to spot for getting lunch or dinner. Everything is delicious. The ramen is absolutely incredible & the portions are big. Their eggs are always tasty & they don't judge you for adding on four or five extras. :) The Korean BBQ bowls with glass noodles are yummy, as are the poke bowls. The fried rice portions are HUGE & have a ton of flavor. There are so many sushi rolls to choose from, for both sushi purists & folks who prefer the fried versions. The menu has photos & descriptions of everything so you know what you're ordering & the staff are knowledgeable. Mr. Li is the nicest human being you'll ever meet & is a true artist when it comes to creating sushi. He makes everything to order at the open bar (often while chatting with customers sitting there) and is always accommodating with special requests. The southern sweet tea is always on point too, which isn't the case at most sushi spots in my experience. The restaurant is always super clean & you can tell they really take pride in their establishment. We love sitting on the patio when the weather permits. The only downside - and I mean the only negative that I can think of when it comes to Sushi Sumo - is the parking lot. They're located along a pretty dangerous section of roadway & pulling in & out can be a little difficult. There's a huge dip at the entrance that is a beast if you're not expecting it. (Totally not reflection on the owners or the restaurant.) Just be careful pulling in & out when you go to get the best sushi & ramen of your life! read more

My family really enjoyed our food. We got takeout and I hope next time to eat at the restaurant! We got an assortment- the tempura udon, spicy miso ramen, beef Korean BBQ bowl, hakata gyoza, soft shell crab, and shrimp and veggie tempura. 5 stars to everything except the shrimp and veggie tempura, as the fried coating just wasn't very good. We loved the gyoza and the sauce. Definitely a must order! The spicy miso was a good level of spice- it built well but I rarely needed to take a drink to cool my mouth off. Both people who had crab mentioned it was good, as well as the udon being the right level of cooked. The Korean BBQ bowl had a lot of rice. Super nice staff and our order was ready in less than half an hour. We will be visiting in the future! (I apologize for the photos, I forgot to take them before we began eating) read more

Sushi Sumo - Spicy miso ramen and hakata gyoza! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Decatur, Alabama

I've been here a few time now and consistently the food & service has been outstanding. I have a fish allergy, so I stay away from the sushi options, but they have several delicious menu options to choose from. I've finally found my favorite Asian restaurant in Decatur! You should really try their gyoza, as it's half steamed & half fried, and I've never had anything like it. The dumplings are flavorful & juicy, while being soft & crunchy at the same time. I've tried their gyoza, chicken, & beef bowl, and I'm not sure which is my favorite since they're all amazing! The hirata bun is now a must order when I go, as it's steamed bun, cucumber, & bbq pork flavor combo is stellar. All in all, stop in & give this place a try. I think you'll find the staff is friendly, the wait is minimal, and the food will knock your socks off! read more

Stumbled upon this place while perusing Yelp and really struggling to find a quality restaurant nearby. Decided to give it a shot. There were several groups dining in. More arrived after we were seated and for a Wednesday night this seemed like the place to be in town. Service was friendly. I ordered a salmon/tuna poke bowl with Maui sauce and a slice a green tea cake. I have no words for how delicious and fresh both were. So delicious we returned the next day for more! Seems like it's a newer location. Online ordering will be coming soon according to their website. If you like sushi, check this place out - I promise you'll be glad you did. read more

My husband and I stopped for lunch. it was very busy but we got the last table. We were waited on very fast but we were new to the menu so it took us a while looking over the menu. It was cold outside so we decided on the Tempera CALIFORNIA Roll to share. It was very good. I got the Spicy Miso Ramen and my husband got Tonkotsu Ramen both were excellent . The Sushi and Ramen Bowl came out looking so good. The noodle bowls warmed us up and enjoyed all of our meal so much. Love this place. read more
