    Meat!
    Edenielle A.

    Food: the food was good but the sides and the intestine was a little too sweet. I enjoyed the spicy pork and the beef bulgogi. Service: the service was great. The staff is very attentive and nice. Ambiance: it's very casual. It's also a smaller restaurant so it's very cozy. They play kpop which is a plus!

    Our family was craving Korean BBQ, so we decided to check this place out based on a Yelp Elite recommendation--and it didn't disappoint. Important tip: Make a reservation! They strictly enforce it and will turn walk-ins away. The restaurant only seats 7 tables (up to 6 people each) with a 90-minute dining limit. Also note: no kids under 12 are allowed, and you need a minimum party of two to dine. It's an all-you-can-eat, self-serve concept when it comes to meats and banchan. There's also a soda fountain and pitchers of water nearby--but these are not self-serve, so you'll need to ask staff. Beyond the basics, they offer additional menu AYCE items like rice, sauces, garlic, daikon slices, etc., plus a la carte options like fried rice, noodles, and premium meats for an extra charge. The banchan selection was a bit underwhelming, but they did have our favorites: fish cake and japchae. The meat station was excellent--well-stocked and frequently replenished, so nothing sat out too long. The selection was a nice mix of 50% marinated and 50% unmarinated cuts. Our favorites were the spicy and mild bulgogi. The thin-sliced pork belly crisped up beautifully, almost like bacon--delicious! One small gripe: I wish lettuce wraps were included instead of being $1.99 per serving. Despite the stagnant air (they really could use more fans or ventilation), this is definitely one of the better Korean BBQ spots in the area. We'll be back!

    Today was not like the rest, service was not the same. We waited about 20 minutes into our visit after we sat down for rice and water. Ambiance is the same. Self serve meat and veggies. It seemed like they had special guest at their establishment that took up majority of their attention instead of checking on all guest. I come here all the time, today was just not the same.

    So good! My husband and I came here for the first time and we absolutely loved it. There are so many options! We tried the beef bulgogi, pork bulgogi, pork belly, and brisket. Everything was really good and it was a fun bonding night for my husband and I. We will definitely be back for a date night in the future! Everyone at the restaurant was friendly, but it is mostly a self-service kind of thing. They will bring you certain sides and drinks if you ask for it, though!

    Found a maggot in the kimchi soup pictured here. When we asked about it they refused a partial refund. Also 3 of us out of 9 were sick the next day.

    I'd never had Korean BBQ before coming here, but always wanted to try. All of my expectations were blown out of the water. The staff was friendly and attentive, the price was fair, the restaurant was very clean, and the food was incredibly high quality and fresh. I can't imagine a better experience than I had here. I will certainly be back.

    This was my first time having Korean BBQ and my neighbors took me to Cham Garden for a very late birthday dinner. The place is very small and I would not recommend large groups. There were so many options for meats and sides. When requesting some things from staff, there definitely could be a delay in getting assistance. But, overall this was a pretty good first experience in Korean BBQ. However, when you leave... you'll definitely be smelling of cooked meat and smoke.

    5 out of 5 AYCE for sure! First time visiting Sumo Sushi & Grill last weekend with my family and we…read morehad such a great experience! (FYI, for weekends and holidays, you'll be charged the dinner price all day). Since it was our first time, our server kindly explained how the ordering system works. You place your sushi orders through one phone with a limit of 15 items every 15 minutes. Drinks and refills are recommended to be ordered directly through your server so they don't take up item slots. Even if you order less than 15 items, you still wait the 15 minutes before placing another round. It sounds a little confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple! One of the cutest parts of the experience was having our food delivered by a little robot server with a cat face. Just make sure to grab the food from the section glowing blue so you don't accidentally take another table's order. Super fun and honestly memorable! By the time we were getting full, my family joked that the cat face looked menacing, because we were hoping no more food would be brought to our table lol. The orders don't all arrive at the same time and some can be delayed, so I'd suggest somewhat trying to keep track of your orders if you don't want to go overboard. The sashimi was delicious and the portions are HUGE, so definitely pace yourself because they do charge for leftovers. My son got a little too excited and overordered, so we ended up paying the leftover fee. However, I was genuinely impressed that Sumo Sushi actually allows you to take leftovers home, even with the fee included. I mean, you'll have to pay the fee either way, but I've never been to an AYCE sushi restaurant that allowed leftovers as takeout before. I really respect how serious they are about reducing food waste. They also have a small buffet section you can grab already prepared/cooked food from while waiting for your sushi orders. My absolute favorites were the miso soup, seafood boil(?), and the tempura fish that lives rent free in my head (I should have asked if I could order that fish for takeout!). They also had other hot foods, meats, and seafood options that were tasty. The dessert section was more basic (flan, jello, fortune cookies, etc.), so I skipped dessert this time (besides the fortune cookies hehe). The service, in general, was fantastic. While we were dining, a child nearby celebrated a birthday with their family and the staff went ALL OUT singing happy birthday with light-up decorations and so much energy. It was adorable and way more effort than most restaurants put in. My only small critique is that the "French Fries" listed on the menu are actually sweet potato fries. They tasted good, and I normally like sweet potatoes, but it definitely caught us off guard because it wasn't what we expected. When we left, the staff kindly said goodbye to us, including an older gentleman near the door who consistently seemed focused on customer service and even asked if we wanted condiments packed with our leftovers. We had such a lovely experience and I would consider Sumo Sushi as probably one of the better AYCE sushi spots in the area. We'll definitely be back!

    Below average. In…read morefact, if I had visited the Sumo AYCE in Tacoma before I tried the one in Burlington, I doubt I would have ever walked into Burlington's Sumo. It was Father's Day, so of course it was busy. But the food was subpar, it came out in indefinable intervals, and we weren't really checked on at all. The sushi - when it finally showed up - was good, but the grilled beef was fatty and greasy. The Chicken 'Katsu' was soggy. Some items - despite taking what seemed like forever to arrive - felt and tasted like they'd been sitting under a heat lamp for too long. Horrible experience for $100. We won't be back.
