    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!!

    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.

    We had the chicken katsu and the sumo chopped cheese. It was Sumo Hour so it was $7 each. Both sandos were good but I preferred the chicken. Next time will try the hot dogs.

    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.

    Was strolling by Oxbow market and decided to explore places inside and came across SumoDog. 5/5 miso katsu beef hot dog - its creamy delicious lettuce on top of fried hot dog. I was hesitating initially but then decided to get it based of host recommendation. It was hard to pick due to its volume. Advice is to have them cut it in half and use fork to scoop some of the lettuce as a salad. 4/5 fries -basic and salted. It's what you would expect. Overall a good place.

    Banh Mi, Miso Katsu, and Plain Dog
    Girlie M.

    This spot reminded me of Japadog but with a fun twist -- a fusion of Asian and island-inspired flavors. It's a new stand inside Oxbow Market that instantly caught our attention, so we had to give it a try. They offer a variety of Japanese fusion hot dogs and even sandos on the menu. We ordered the Bacon Banh Mi, Miso Katsu, and Loco Moco hot dogs, plus the Chicken Katsu Sando. Everything was packed with flavor, but the standout favorites were definitely the Katsu hot dog, loco Moco, and chicken Katsu sando. Each item had bold, balanced flavors, and nothing disappointed. Price felt reasonable for the portion, quality, and creativity. If you're visiting the marketplace and want to try something unique, this spot is definitely worth checking out.

    How can you not love Sumo Dog when their motto is "Happiness is a warm bun"!. Sumo Dog takes the classic American hot dog and gave it a Japanese twist. Their menu caught my eye as I browse all the options in the Oxbrow Market. I tried the Godzilla dog (Footlong All Beef Hot Dog, Beef Chili, Togarashi Cheese Sauce, Wasabi Relish, Pickled Peppers, Spicy Mayo, Teriyaki Sauce, Furikake, Minced Onion, Jalapeno, Nori) and it was a home-run for me. So many flavors all together, and made spicy with the japapeno. The prices are reasonable too. I got to try the other interesting items when I am back in Napa.

    Chicago dog and tater tots
    Jocelyn L.

    Sumo Dog is a cool quick eats fusion place at the Oxbow! I ordered the Chicago dog and thought it was good and it made me eager to swing by again to try their speciality hot dogs. I love their tater tots and thought it was a great side.

    After getting my taste buds on a super duper burger, I think about these burgers in the slow parts…read moreof my day and wish to be reunited with them. I make the 30 minute drive to Super Duper because this is the closest location and I'd rather not settle for a mediocre burger. This is the burger I want when I'm craving one. I ordered the double patty super burger with bacon, aged cheddar cheese, and avocado. The burger is always so juicy and delicious and the best bites of the burger is the end where all the juice is sitting. The house made pickles are so amazing, I always grab a plate of them, they are self serve next to the fountain drinks. I also discovered these cute little burger pockets that help catch the juices next to the fountain drinks so I grabbed those and my super duper burger fit in it perfectly. I was trying to get some ketchup and it was coming out a little slow so I accidentally poured out some mustard from the fountain next to it. For some reason, I have never tried the mustard here before and that has been my biggest mistake! The mustard is house made as well as the ketchup and they are the best condiments I have ever tasted. I have honestly never been excited about ketchup and mustard as much as this one really wakes up your taste buds and adds so much tangy flavor from a prominent vinegar taste that it has that makes it feel fresh! I had fries at a fancy restaurant a couple days later that came with basic ketchup and I found myself missing Super Duper's Ketchup!! My boyfriend tried the chicken sandwich and it was so crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside! He enjoyed it! Don't sleep on super duper burger when you're near one!!

    Note to self - ONLY get regular fries, NOT garlic fries…read more Super Duper was my 5 star burger place. I used to rank them as high as In N Out Burgers. Quality/Quantity - We are going to lunch at La Cheve Bakery and Brew, so only got a soft serve today. Atmosphere - Decent size location if you include the outdoor space. Plenty of indoor seating, table seating, and counter seating. Open 7 days a week. Plenty of mall parking. Service - Self kiosk service when you enter. Two kiosks available. Self service drinks. Self service everything/counter service, if that means anything. Plenty of employees everywhere. The manager was visible. Price - $7; expensive, but that is the cost for quality. Decent portions also. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 2010 and now with your 21+ locations

I can't believe I haven't shared a review of this spot yet! Friendly staff and just a very well oiled-machine. The Vietnamese Chicken Salad is something to write home about. Served with a Peanut Lime Vinaigrette, the salad has a variety of lettuces, mung beans sprouts, peanuts, crispy fried chicken breast, green onions, pickled red Fresno chiles, and I'm sure I'm missing a few ingredients :) it's so delicious and worthy of its own review. The burgers and onion rings with ranch sauce, always superb. Honestly, never had a bad meal here. The menu also features an Ahi Burger, Cubano Sandwich, and a variety of unique burger options including turkey burgers, Impossible burgers, beef patties, and also Impossible chicken nuggets. There's plenty of other fun sides like chili cheese fries and fried Brussels, and other menu items including tacos, hot dogs, soups, and a kiddo menu. Don't skip out on a shake, NA bevvie, or beer/wine options. On a beautiful future sunny day, a perfect stop when in the area pre/post wine tasting.

Since our…read moregroup was quite hungry, we ordered the California Burger, Kimchi Burger, and Western Bacon Blue Ring Burger, along with fries, onion rings, and sweet potato fries. The food was good overall, though nothing particularly stood out. What impressed us most was the ambiance and service. The venue is spacious and can comfortably accommodate large groups like ours of 25 people. Despite the busy lunch crowd, the staff handled orders efficiently, and the service was fast and organized. A great spot for groups looking for a convenient and comfortable dining experience in Napa.

    I've eaten here 3 times or so, and each time has been great. This time around, I stopped by to eat…read morelunch; though, they just have a brunch menu that leans more heavily towards the breakfast end of things. - Reuben sandwich: this is just a well-executed classic. It has the standard corned beef, Swiss, sauerkraut, and thousand island on rye. No notes on the sandwich really. Just well done. It came with a side of fries, which were just okay. Not bad. Not great. Just okay. - Dungeness crab Benedict: this is a crab cake topped with poached eggs and a jalapeño hollandaise. Amazing. Very crabby. The hollandaise didn't really taste jalapeño-y nor was it spicy. The side of hash browns was nice enough. Better than the French fries. Since I dropped by on a Monday, I only had to wait 10 minutes or so to get seated. If you go on a weekend, be prepared to wait some time. And the parking lot is rather cramped as well during the busy times. The servers are always very pleasant and attentive.

    Boom Fly's food is still very nice after all these years. We started with some banana bread (that…read morehad some unexpected toppings) & it was lovely. The waitress was kind friendly, although she disappeared at the end and a gentleman came up to check us out, which I always find odd (when they don't transition & let us know one of them is going to be taking a break etc. and one of them is going to be working there Station ... had our waitress stayed till the end. I simply would've shared the following information with her ...). I think the most surprising thing about the ambience this time was the fact that we sat in a corner booth (towards the front door), which used to be a favorite space for me ironically, and the white wood blinds were absolutely filthy. I mean a layer of dust & gunk on them like they hadn't been cleaned since the last time I sat there (years). I waitressed for a long time and I can tell you that people will judge a restaurant's cleanliness by the dining area: If the dining area is not clean, it makes the kitchen suspect. Boon Fly pays a lot of detail to a lot of other little details, so I'm hoping they will take a harder look at the dining room surroundings and make sure those get genuinely cleaned.
