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.

Top: golden dragon roll; Bottom: eel, salmon, yellowtail, and tuna nigiri
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.

Sashimi 32 pieces

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.

This restaurant was unfortunately a major letdown tonight. From the moment we walked in, the…read moreexperience felt disappointing. 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.

This was, without a doubt, the worst dining experience I have ever had. It feels like this place is…read moretrying to pose as a high-end Japanese hibachi restaurant, but they are running it with the absolute lowest standards possible--cutting every single corner to save a penny. The food quality was abysmal. Our salads arrived covered in what appeared to be straight mayonnaise; it tasted like a bizarre mix of mayo and Miracle Whip. When we asked for yum-yum sauce, the staff had no idea what it was and literally brought us two cups of mayonnaise. The cooking was just as bad--the chicken was completely overcooked and dry, while the vegetables were left raw and crunchy. The rice wasn't even cooked through. To top it off, they don't use any actual seasoning or garlic, just straight margarine, and they douse everything in an excessive amount of oil and salt. Save your money and go somewhere else. This place is a total disaster. I've been to many different Hibachi Restaurants, and this one felt like I ordered a Hibachi meal from Temu.
