| - This is probably one of the worst AYCE I have been to. Not only was the food well below average, the service was even worse.
Lets start with the food. The pictures on the menu did not seem appealing at all. In addition, the variety was very limited with comparison to other AYCE restaurants. We got a variety of sashimi, including salmon, white tuna, sweet shrimp, surf clams, and crab sticks (which was pretty much all they had- we're not fans of snappers in general). Understanding that sashimi may not be the best of quality, the sashimi at Sumo still did not meet our standards. It tasted bland, and the color did not have that shininess that fresh sashimi possesses. Furthermore, the crab sticks was very dry and tasted like it had been left out at room temperature for the whole day. The other cooked food (short ribs, chicken wings, chicken heart skewers etc.) were nothing special.
Now onto the service. As the restaurant is smaller than other AYCEs, and crowd was sparse (we went on a Wednesday), the service was fairly good and food arrived quickly. We were satisfied with our service until one of the employees snapped at us while taking our plates. She was unhappy with the fact that there were a few pieces of crab sticks remaining on the plate. She talked down to us with attitude that if we didn't like the food we shouldn't have ordered it. What she didn't understand was that we had 2 orders of the same sashimi plate, thus misleading her to believe that we placed 2 orders of crab sticks. While we understood that she simply did not want any food go wasted, the attitude she had in speaking to us was extremely rude and ruined our experience at this restaurant.
Needless to say, we will never be back.
