a plate of sushi and vegetables
Lori D.

Another great visit to Sushi Sumo. Excellent rolls, excellent service, great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

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.

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.

Crazy eel roll and phoenix roll
Julie K.

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.

Cindy S.

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.

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

Harry Mexican and Spicy Tuna Roll

Favorite sushi place ever! I have tried many sushi restaurants in the area and nothing compares. Prices are reasonable and service is good.

I got the Chirashi bowl. The portion of salmon was small. The dish was dominated by toothy rice and…read moremango. I didn't find the bowl particularly satisfying. Others commented on the extraordinary quality of the fish. I thought it was fine, but not exceptional. This is an acceptable place to grab a quick lunch in a college town.

I actually asked my husband to take a detour to get to this place. I was in the mood for poke and…read morewas excited to try this place. When I walked in, the place smelled like mildew but I still hoped for the best. I waited a while for the one person behind the counter to finally say something to me. She was working on another order and didn't even acknowledge my presence. I almost turned around and left after a few minutes (I had people waiting for me in the car since I was getting it to go) but I decided to wait. I decided on a bowl. They didn't have a lot of options but it looked like enough (or I had hoped) to make a nice bowl. Upon close inspection, the fish looked gooey, the rice looked undercooked so I got the spring mix, and the other toppings were meh. Everything put on the dish was more like a sprinkle than a spoonful. At the end of the line I had a bowl that was half full and mostly a small amount of green leafy stuff. The dish was absolutely not worth the price. I did eat it. When I finally got into the car and tried the food, I should have stopped when I found the spring mix had pieces way past their prime. I also should have stopped when I found the fish to be goopy and room temp. Long story short, it was a very small portion of less than stellar quality ingredients. I felt like heck about an hour later (not fun on a car trip). It was lunch time and the only food I ate that day. I should have started a fast at that moment.

Came across Longbao on Yelp on a gross, rainy day. Soup sounded perfect. Longbao is in a shopping…read morecenter with plenty of free parking. The restaurant has a sushi restaurant vibe with a playlist that will make anyone who is a fan of the 90s singing in their seat. The owner, Juan, is very friendly and happily shares lots of information about the restaurant, the food, and the ingredients. We started with the soup dumplings, which are steamed fresh to order. They were awesome. The soup was rich and flavorful and the dumpling was soft. We got the miso ramen, the beef noodle soup and the seafood noodle soup. These broths were incredible. They are apparently cooked for 18+ hours. The noodles were chewy and thick. Loved everything and we will be back.

I've really been looking forward to trying this new spot in Newark. I learned tonight that they've…read morebeen opened for about four weeks. Conveniently located in Newark Shopping Center, they have plenty of parking. They seemed to have a lot of takeout orders coming in, and they have plenty of tables for dining in (appeared clean and well maintained). I had a very friendly greeting, learned a lot about the menu offerings, and was offered plenty of time to decide what I wanted to order on this first visit. I went with Soup Dumplings, Japanese Shu Mai, and Beef Udon Noodles. All was very good. Perfect meal for a cold night. In my opinion the soup (in the soup dumplings) was light on flavor, but still good. The Shu Mai was full of flavor and the perfect crunch, and the udon noodles were very good. I would definitely go back and try more new things.

The chefs are true professionals, and if you're a sushi enthusiast, this place should be on your list. Our server, Courtney, was incredible: attentive, kind, and on top of everything. I would genuinely come back for the food and for her service alone. HOWEVER. At the height of our dinner, an employee (I'm still not sure who she was) stood in the main dining area on FaceTime, and not subtle, discreet, muted FaceTime. NO. A child was scream-crying on the call while this employee packed orders right in front of everyone. Look, I'm not coldhearted. I get that life and work sometimes blend together. Emergencies happen, kids exist, and we all have tough days. But I work hard for my money. I have kids. When I go out to dinner with my husband (especially to a place with excellent food and prices to match). I'm there to relax, escape, and enjoy the experience. Listening to someone else's household chaos, at full volume, in the middle of the dining room is the opposite of professional. We politely asked another waiter if they could please request that the volume be lowered. They complied, but by the time the employee finally turned the volume down, our check was already paid and we were walking out. Amazing food. Amazing server. But if I wanted to hear a toddler meltdown during dinner... I would've stayed home.
