    Lovey Dovey Roll, Hairy Mexican Roll
    Lilly B.

    Sushi Sumo is always a great place to dine in or take out for sushi. It's definitely in the rotation of places I visit near me. I love that they have weekly specials that are seriously discounted! The lovey dovey roll was one of them this time. Packed on the inside and outside and filled with a creamy yet Smokey flavor. The hairy Mexican is a staple and never disspoints here. I got a few of the more basic rolls like sweet potato which was deliciously simple. I ordered a crunchy spicy tuna and the description states crunchy flakes on the outside however it wasn't the case this time. A mistake in description didn't take away for the yummy rolls though!

    Yeah, never again. If you're not hungry and have a lot of time to kill, then this is the spot. I ordered only one roll and sashimi and guess how long it took me to get my food...37 minutes!! There was a handful of other parties around (all small groups, a couple of solo diners just like me) and it took them that long to cut up some raw fish and make ONE roll? Please. Food was fine if you're still curious to try it out... I ended up still feeling hungry after my meal but didn't dare to order any extra cuz who knows when they'd be serving me again.

    I am happy that I found this great sushi restaurant now! Finding a new sushi place was one of my to do lists after moving. I enjoyed their sashimi for two platter. Sashimi is fresh and it is a such a great portion. When I ordered sashimi platter from a well-known place, I got disappointed with their small portion. Yes, tastes matters but I want to be full after eating! I ordered two rolls,crazy eel roll and Phoenix roll. I liked eel roll better. Next time, I will explore other menus here.

    In my opinion, sushi places with good nigiri are really hard to come by in this area. Sushi Sumo, however, has consistently served us delicious and fresh-tasting nigiri! It is pricey, but it is worth it. We love ordering here for a quick sushi fix. Probably one of the best sushi spots in DE.

    We had high expectations because there was a comment saying that this place has the best sushi in Newark. However, the sushi was very....... Mediocre and not authentic. We should have driven to Philly for sushi I guess.

    Very fresh sashimi platter. Would be back again. One of the freshest sushi in DE I've been to. At first came here to think they had all you can eat option,but they don't. Not a big deal but sushi and sashimi very fresh

    (Top to Bottom) The Amazing Tuna Roll, The Moana Roll, and The Dinosaur Roll
    Emily M.

    Well this place is as touch free as it gets. I decided to pick up my sushi from sushi sumo after the gym and I didn't even realize I ordered before they were open (oops). When I arrived around 11am the doors were open, I had to wait around 15 mins because I was so early. They created a door so you can pay and take your carry out without contact with the staff which was pretty cool. I ordered 3 rolls at $15 each so they were a little pricey but decently sized and VERY PRETTY (see photo). We liked our rolls but the Amazing Tuna seemed a little boring to us. Also for $45 we thought maybe we'd get egg rolls with them, but maybe I'm just being greedy. I loved my dinosaur roll and would totally order it again. So if you're looking to eat here the bottom line is very good sushi but also on the pricier side compared to other in the area.

    Looks like any other sushi place but once inside is very nice with great food. Would definitely go again, one of my main spots for sushi.

    We used to love this spot when it was strictly a noodle bar, but quality has completely tanked…read more We tried the karaage chicken, and it was terrible,literally more thick flour batter than actual chicken. When we complained to the waitress, we just got a lazy brush-off: "Different chefs have different styles." That's completely unacceptable. To make matters worse, the Tonkotsu ramen is a total disappointment. The broth is extremely thin, watery, and lacks any of the rich, creamy pork flavor you expect--it literally tastes like basic chicken soup. To top it all off, when the bill comes, the default tip options on the card machine start at 20%, 25%, and 35%! Expecting a 35% tip for mediocre, watered-down food and indifferent service is absurd. Adding sushi seems to have ruined what made this place good in the first place. Save your money and go somewhere that still cares about their ramen or karaage chicken.

    About as bad as you can get. Ordered on their iPad. Had teriyaki chicken, chicken fried rice and…read moregyozas. The gyozas were not bad. Bland but edible. Chicken fried rice was rice with some boiled, bland chicken!! Teriyaki was a boiled completely bland chicken with very weak sauce, simply horrible. When I order said would take 10-15 minutes, it took 34. Like 3 people working and all on their cell phones. Horrible service and extremely bland food. I'd rather go to Pei Wei. Avoid like the plague. Temperature inside was about 80. I'll never go back.

The front entrance looked outdated, and there was a noticeable musty smell. The interior felt old, worn, and far from inviting. While we were seated promptly, the service quickly went downhill. Within two minutes of sitting down, the attendant rushed us for our order without even asking if we wanted drinks. The entire experience felt hurried, as if we were an inconvenience rather than paying customers. Midway through dinner, we were handed a takeout container without being asked if we were finished eating or even wanted one. Shortly after, the check was dropped off without anyone asking if we needed anything else or were done with our meal. From arrival to leaving, we were there only about a 40 minutes and not because we wanted to be. To make matters worse, when I presented a coupon, I was told it could not be honored because I supposedly needed to mention it before ordering. However, nowhere on the coupon did it state that requirement. That interaction felt unprofessional and unnecessarily argumentative. After payment, there wasn't even a simple "thank you." Had I not been dining with a friend, I honestly would have reconsidered leaving a tip. As for the food, it was just okay, but overly salty as expected. The drinks were disappointing and felt like a waste of money. I'm sharing this as a caution for others. Based on tonight's experience, the service and management standards seem to have seriously declined.
