| - My roommate has been raving about Sumo Sushi for months.
We haven't made it out because its kind of far from where we live, and there are places that we enjoy that are closer...but Friday night, we had a going away dinner for a friend, and she wanted to come to Sumo, so we finally got to try it.
Let me say this, I would have LOVED to give Sumo 5 stars, truly. The food was phenomenal, which I'll get to in a moment.
The reason for the 4 stars is that the service did not match the quality of the food.
Service was nice, and very polite, but oh my goodness was it slow. I had to order my bottle of hot sake ($3 more expensive than the other places I go, which also figures in to the 4 stars instead of 5) twice before I actually got it. It took ages for the waitresses to come back over to take our 2nd and 3rd round orders. Once they were there, they were super nice, and the food came out quickly, but it was the in between times that were borderline ridiculous.
Now, for the food.
I don't even know where to start, I was so impressed with the quality of the fish.
We almost always order just nigiri and some appetizers...this time we did that, but also got 3 of their "specialty" dishes: The screaming O, the Tuna Karai, and the Cocaine.
I don't remember what all was in these dishes, but they were all served on daikon radish NOODLES (I seriously had no idea this was daikon, I though they were noodles. Delicious), with huge portions of tuna, and were all flavored very well.
The garlic tuna is perhaps the best garlic tuna I have ever had in my life, and I've eaten a lot of it...It was smothered in delicious garlic, and while I can't put my finger on exactly why it was so "omg amazing"...it just was. I'd come back for this alone.
I tried amaebi for the first time here, as well. We were disappointed that they did not offer the heads, but my fella tried it first and insisted that it was some of the best he's had.
It was wonderful...almost a buttery texture, and so sweet! I loved it.
The rest of the nigiri was just above standard for me: cajun albacore, super white, unagi, ebi...we were very pleased with our experience.
They also offer a spicy ramen bowl. Caution: this is NOT a small bowl of ramen, so if you fill up easily, you might want to skip it.
The gyoza was delicious, although they did not bring out the gyoza sauce. The spicy garlic edemame was great too.
All in all, I was extremely pleased with my experience here, and would definitely come back...
