    Katsu miso dog and rice tots
    Steven T.

    Tasty hot dogs. Quite different and messy but I enjoyed it. Wasn't a huge fan of the cabbage at first but it kinda grew on me. People working there were chill. You'll want lots of napkins heh.

    Chicago dog

    Loved it!! We got the Chicago dog with pork hot dog and it was fantastic. Loaded with condiments, tomato, pickled chilli, mustard, etc. we also got the beer. Perfect pairing. Service is quick. It's in the Oxbow public market which is so convenient and amazing.

    These dogs are creative, fun, and tasty! The fusion combinations work amazing together. My favorites were the banh mi dog and katsu dog. The banh mi dog was refreshing, while the katsu dog offered a crispy and crunchy texture. I also loved the chili used for the sumo fries; it was delicious!

    Pretty good but I wouldn't pay full price for this. My dad and I came at happy hour and we basically got a $65 meal for more than half off and we got hella stuff. Service was good the only thing knocking the score is its price when it's not happy hour. So far the best restaurant I've been to in Oxbow, Hog Island is the only one I have tried yet.

    Unique tasty hotdogs! This Sumodog is located onside Oxbow marketplace. Indoor and outdoor seating available for everybody, in a street and busy parking lot. I asked for their best seller as I want to order and try what most people get so I had the Sumo dog and Miso katsu. The sumo dog has wasabi relish, pickled peppers, not so spicy mayo, teriyaki sauce, furikake, minced onion and nori. The miso katsu has breaded and fried dog which I thought at first was chicken katsu, miso mustard and overflowing coleslaw, tonkaysu sauce, mayo, furikake, scallions. Both are good but costs like $26 for 2 hotdogs. It's a must try for something new, but for daily its a no for me. These japanese inspired hot dogs are tasty. Quick service and great presentation as well!

    Came here with my husband, a self-proclaimed hot dog connoisseur, and we both absolutely loved Sumo Dog. It has the perfect fast-casual vibe inside Oxbow Market while still serving hot dogs that feel a step above your usual grab-and-go bite. The Sumo Dog came with a quality beef hot dog and all the classic toppings we love: relish, pickled peppers, and minced onion. The Asian-inspired additions--spicy mayo, teriyaki sauce, furikake, and nori--made it feel extra special and gave it such a fun, flavorful twist. You know something is good when you immediately start thinking about how to recreate it at home. Haha. If you're looking for a quick, filling, and satisfying bite at Oxbow Market, I'd definitely recommend stopping by Sumo Dog!

    Plain dog with tots

    Tasty and quick. I was on a wine tasting kind of day and didn't want anything to big to fill me up, thank goodness for sumo dog! It's located in the Oxbow Market and hit the spot. I got the plain dog with a side of tater tots, goodness it was so good! Perfect to enjoy in the car and not make a mess. The gentleman that took my order was super quick, knowledgeable of the menu and knew how to have a conversation. That's so rare these days.

    This is a pretty good fusion eatery with a mix of Japanese, Korean, Mexican, and American. You'll have the typical hot dogs, burgers, a burrito, and sandwich mixed with Asian ingredients such as Sriracha, shredded seaweed paper, kewpie mayo, etc. It's not bad at all but not one of my go-tos. I ordered a chopped cheese burrito which tasted odd at first because if the texture but I got used to it. It was decent but I would've just gotten a hot dog instead. My wife enjoyed their sumo dog and my son liked his plain cut up hot dogs pieces with bread. We thoroughly enjoyed their crispy and fresh tater tots dipped in spicy mayo. Sumo Dog is one of the only good eateries inside this venue; there's not much to choose from. It's also one of the cheapest selections by price.

    Sumo Dog is a relatively new kid on the block at Oxbow Market, and after learning a bit about its history, we had to give it a go. The concept is a co-creation of Jeffrey Lunak, a disciple of Iron Chef fusion master Masaharu Morimoto, alongside partner Nic Adler, owner of the legendary Sunset Boulevard music venue The Roxy. Sumo Dog has also earned a reputation as one of Coachella's hottest food stands. After perusing the menu, we both landed on the signature Sumo Dog. It comes fully loaded with pickled peppers, wasabi relish (which I totally wish they would bottle), spicy mayo, teriyaki sauce, minced onion, furikake, and kizami nori all piled onto The Godzilla, a juicy all-beef hot dog. There's a lot going on flavor-wise, but it mostly works. Sweet and salty notes play well together, the richness of the wasabi mayo is nicely cut by the acidity of the pickled peppers, and the hot dog itself has a great snap and stays juicy despite all the toppings. Pro tip: walk two stalls over to the Oxbow Wine & Cheese Merchant and grab a glass of bubbly. Surprisingly, sparkling wine makes an excellent chaser for a rich, indulgent dog like this and keeps the Napa vibe alive. Fun, flavorful detour from wine tastings. Definitely worth trying if you're at Oxbow and in the mood for something different. Happy Eating!!

    Very GOOD! I don't eat hot dogs but I really enjoys the food at this restaurant. I had the Miso Katsu which is a signature Japanese-style fusion hot dog with a breaded and fried beef hot dog. The coleslaw on top is delicious and had a good crunch. Lemongrass lemonade was pretty good too. Service could use improvement. The gal wasn't helpful or welcoming. She gave us our food with no eye contact, and she just quickly walked away. Hubby asked for water and she seemed annoyed. Counter seating is available at the store front. I would definitely eat here again and try a different dog.

    Miso katsu dog and Godzilla!

    Best hot dog I've ever had. Pricey but spectacular, would gladly pay for a dozen. Miso katsu dog 10/10 god bless America Godzilla dog 10/10 god bless America Breakfast burrito 10/10 god bless America The foods so good I can't even describe it. I usually only buy hotdogs from Costco or food carts, but these were some extraordinarily elevated bites of heaven. Happy to be a glizzy gobbler here. 10/10 would recommend

    Located in the Oxbow, stumbled on this place because of the fat sumo guy looking at me. Further checking out the menu, they had rice tots which are small rice balls that look like tator tots. I love tots! I would say its a little different but im asian so I love rice. Miso katsu which is a breaded and fired hot dog. This was a recommendation by the server and it didnt disappoint. It was a nice asian flare to a hot dog with a nice Korean style slaw on top. Priced is ok but its a speciality dog and in Napa so you have to splurge alittle.

    Stopped by Oxbow Marketplace while exploring downtown Napa and grabbed lunch at Sumo Dog with my family. I loved the lively atmosphere of the marketplace, and we were able to snag a seat right in front of the counter. I ordered the Sumo Chopped Cheese, which comes with an Angus beef patty, onions, peppers, American cheese, shredded lettuce, and tomato on a potato bun. I appreciated the balance here--the lettuce and tomato ratio helped keep the sandwich from feeling too heavy, and the cheese was perfectly ooey-gooey, and especially delicious paired with the onions. Flavor-wise, it was solid and satisfying. That said, for $14, it didn't quite feel worth the price. There wasn't anything about this particular item that really delivered on the "American classics redefined with Japanese ingredients" concept. I know hot dogs are their main focus, but even so, I expected a bit more creativity or a unique twist on a chopped cheese. Overall, I'd give it an 8/10 for taste, but factoring in the price and lack of uniqueness, it lands closer to a 6.5/10. I might try one of their hot dogs next time, but if I'm being honest, I'd take an In-N-Out cheeseburger over this.

    See all
