    half eaten gyudon (a ton of meat)
    Emily Z.

    Quick service, good portions, friendly staff, just a little pricey. I ordered the gyudon which the menu said was 18 but I think they didn't have time to update their menu because the charge on my receipt said 19. Kind of pricey for a grab and go bento but they do give you a good portion of meat. I might be able to eat the rest for another meal. I also got the double matcha and it's not bad, a little sweet for my asian tastebuds (I forgot to ask to adjust sugar). I think they use whipped cream in the double matcha foam because I can taste it. Personally not a fan of whipped cream but I am curious how their normal matcha latte would taste. They also have sandos here which I didn't try this time but would in the future!

    I was driving down Miramar road and was craving matcha. I stumbled upon this and had to try. I never had lychee matcha, until I came here, and it was delicious. The potatoes in the egg sando were a bit overbearing, but the flavor was still delicious. They also had other options to select if you're on the go and need something to snack on. They also had racks of Japanese snacks that you rarely see, so that was pretty cool. I'll definitely be coming back to try more on their menu and to-go selections.

    4 stars. I recently came back from Japan, so walking into Sumo Go definitely brought me back! It's a cute Japanese grab-and-go spot with egg sandos, katsu sandos, Asian snacks, Japanese drinks, and a cafe where you can order fresh food. The staff was super nice. We tried the: * Gyudon: simple, comforting, and a good portion of meat compared to Yoshinoya * Una Don: a rich, savory grilled eel filet over nice that was quite filling The regular bowls are a fair size, though prices lean a little high for what you get. Overall, a fun little taste of Japan in Miramar and a great option for a quick lunch. I'd definitely come back to try some of their sandos, curry, and tempura.

    Looking for lunch places in Miramar, Sumo Go popped up. It's a very small casual restaurant where you order at the counter and your food comes out. They have a small area of tables if you choose to eat there. They are known for their unadon, teriyaki bowls, matcha drinks, and egg sandos. While you wait for your food, you can shop at their convenient store filled with imported Japanese snacks and drinks. Our food came out within a few minutes. The food was tasty and flavorful. The guy working there was kind enough to offer me a little more curry as he saw I ran out before I finished my rice. I felt the prices were a little high given its casual Japanese food between $16-28 per entree. But overall solid food that was filling.

    Overview: authentic, delicious Japanese food, such welcoming service, and a very wide variety of snacks ---- I'm so glad that Sumo Go (aka Sumo Size at the farmers' markets) has a physical location close to my work! It makes it so much more convenient instead of going to farmers' markets like OB and having to struggle to find parking. Here they are located in a shared plaza so there are plenty of spots! My go-to favorite thing to order is their Una Don $18 reg / $28 sumosize (large). The eel is so tender and melt-in-your-mouth, each bite feels like it transports me back to Japan. It comes on a bed of rice and coated with their homemade teriyaki sauce which was the perfect amount. The eel filets were huge and filling, the price is basically like ordering an eel sushi roll and getting 2-3 times the amount of eel that you would get (so much more worth it in my opinion)! ---- It's a very convenient store, with prepackaged food like katsu sandos and egg salad sandos, so many snacks (aisles and aisles of them!), both matcha and coffee drinks (around $7-8ish), and cookies! ---- The service is so friendly and welcoming, everyone here is so polite and the interactions made my day! There is both inside and outside seating, which you can either grab your bowl to-go or eat it there. It was very clean and neat. I love how well organized their snack aisles are! Literally so many snacks to choose from, it was amazing to peruse around the aisles looking at all of the different kinds of things they had. ---- Overall: come by for a convenient place for delicious food, no longer do you have to venture out to farmers' markets for these wonderful dishes! not only is the food great, their service, variety of items, and drinks were all astounding, thank you for being here!!!

    I stopped by this place on a whim and was delighted to see the selection of Asian snacks they had. I got cool items like strawberry Oreos and various Asian flavored lays chips (like fried crab). The establishment is not huge and has just a few tables and chairs along with a few shelves of snacks. The staff working was friendly and I have no complaints about the service. My only issue was I found the restaurant portion to be a bit on the expensive side. We got an order of orange pork and it was definitely on the small side for what we paid. We also got suimai but those were tiny as well (about 1/4 the size of what I was expecting). Overall however, I'll be back to raid their selection of snacks.

    Gyu Don Curry large!! Huge!!!
    Lo S.

    Sumo Go is amazing!!! Gyu don curry is a perfect food, my comfort food. HUGE portions, the large is like 4 meals. Great flavor, a really nice person took my order and made sure that my drink was not too sweet. Really really kind!! There are some tables inside and outside to eat. There's a lychee at the bottom of the lychee matcha!!! Tons of fun products in the store. This place is seriously awesome!!! Can't wait to come back!

    Egg Salad Sando and Orange Candied Orange Oat Latte
    Lisa M.

    I'm obsessed with anything Japanese, so I was excited to check out Sumo Go. It's a small, cozy spot where you can sit down and eat, but also great if you're just stopping by to grab snacks and drinks to go. They have a good selection of Japanese chips, candy, and snacks. I was excited to see katsu and egg salad sandos! Egg sando doesn't taste like the ones from 7-Eleven or FamilyMart in Japan, but they're still really tasty. My favorite thing was the Orange Candied Oat Latte. It was so good! It wasn't overly sweet, and the orange paired so well with the coffee. Such a unique drink, I will be back to order it again :)

    Lychee matcha
    Noel E.

    Quick lunch today my wife suggested that we try this place. More like a restaurant/convenience food store. They had tasteful music going on. Some tables off to the side but most of the tables and chairs were outside. Perfect since we brought our corgi. Service was good and relatively fast. I got their curry bowl with pork cutlets and my wife got oyakudon bowl. Both hit the spot. For drinks my wife got the lychee matcha, and I got the Ramu Bottle in original flavor. Price was right, close to our home in Mira Mesa, and our dog was happy to come along. A Win-Win for us! Yes we'll fit them in our round table of places to eat.

    Sumo Go is a combination eatery and grocery store in the Miramar neighborhood. Their end suite used to be the home of a short-lived South African restaurant. Parking spaces were plentiful in the plaza lot. Four small tables were placed outside for al fresco dining. A similar number of larger tables were inside along the right windows. Upon entering, multiple sets of shelves greeted you with displays of various Asian dried goods. A refrigerated display in the back left corner held items like sandos, cake rolls, and prepackaged beverages. The service counter was in the back right of the room. A menu board hung behind the counter that featured rice bowls with different kinds of proteins as the main food offerings. Three of the bowls were available in medium ($18) and large ($28) sizes. Several hot snacks were also available. For drinks, espresso, matcha, and lattes were the main choices. My takeout order consisted of the Shumai as a snack and the Gyu Don Curry as an entree. The Shumai (or pork hash as known to some) came as nine dumplings. To my surprise, they were like fritters with a creamy instead of meaty interior. I wonder if the kitchen mistakenly served takoyaki instead because I have never encountered shumai like what I was given. The curry was made up of thinly sliced beef, onions, potatoes, carrots, and white rice. The brown sauce was mildly spicy and flavorful. The large portion that I purchased was sufficient to feed 2-3 people. The worker who took my order was very pleasant. The Gyu Don Curry by itself was between four and five stars. On the other hand, the Shumai was somewhere between two and three stars. Overall, I rounded my takeout experience at Sumo Go to a four star level.

    Okay, this review is going to be a little all over the place because my brain gets excited when I find a good matcha. First things first... the double matcha was AMAZING. Smooth, earthy, not overly sweet, and it actually tasted like quality matcha instead of sugary green milk. I've had a lot of matcha around San Diego (probably more than my wallet would like to admit), and Sumo Go is officially in my top 3 matcha spots in San Diego. That's saying something. I actually haven't tried the food yet, but I stood there staring at everyone else's orders and everything looked bomb. They have donburi bowls, sandos, curry, karaage, Japanese snacks... basically all the things I already know I'm going to come back for. One thing I wasn't expecting was how cute the shop is. It's not just a place to grab a drink--they have shelves full of Japanese snacks, drinks, instant ramen, ice cream, and little treats that make you want to wander around for a few minutes before you leave. And can we appreciate the location? It's literally right below the dispensary... so if you happen to get the munchies, you don't have to think too hard about your next stop. Whoever planned that deserves a raise. The staff was super friendly, the place was clean, and the vibe was really welcoming. I already know I'll be back to work my way through the menu because if the food is even half as good as that matcha, it's going to be dangerous for my bank account. 10/10. Highly recommend if you're a fellow matcha snob.

    Large matcha einspanner
    Grace L.

    I love how this place has such a great selection of food. My favorite dish was hands down the large unadon. The eel was perfectly grilled, and I also really enjoyed their house made teriyaki sauce. I had enough to bring the other half home for a second meal. I also got to eat some of my husband's large gyudon curry. We thought it was unique because most places have chicken katsu curry, but not gyudon curry. This was also delicious. We ordered a matcha lychee cloud kori, and enjoyed the lychee flavor. We also got a large matcha einspanner, but felt like it'd be best with a bit of oat milk for added flavor. There are about 5 small tables inside for you to enjoy your food and drinks. You can also buy snacks, desserts, and drinks that are prepackaged if you're looking for a quick grab and go. Service wise, they're efficient and also check in to see if you're enjoying your food and drinks. I really enjoy Sumo Go, and will definitely be back!

    Very cute store with yummy food. The workers are very kind. For the unagi bowl, it had a bit too much sauce for my liking which made it slightly too salty, but I enjoyed it a lot because the unagi had a nice taste. I would like to come back to try other signature drinks because they were a good balance of sweetness and flavor.

    I was looking for a new cafe to try on a Saturday morning and found this place on Yelp. I stopped…read moreby around noon, and it wasn't too busy. There were so many sandwiches, cheesecakes, and bakery items to choose from that I had a hard time deciding. The staff was so kind and recommended some items. My favorite was definitely the greenhouse sandwich. The vegetables were incredibly fresh, and the bagel was warmed just right. I also tried a few bakery items. The double matcha canelé had a great texture with a crisp exterior and soft interior, but my absolute favorite was the double early grey financier. The earl grey flavor really stood out and made it the winner for me. I also tried the yuzu cheesecake, but honestly, it didn't taste too different from the lime cheesecakes I've had elsewhere. The cafe has plenty of tables and chairs, making it a comfortable spot to sit and enjoy your time chatting with a friend or working/studying. Overall, this place literally made my Saturday morning perfect, and I would definitely come back as a regular on weekends.

Yuzu - really good yuzu flavor, one of my faves Chocolate - I forget the exact name of this one but it has chocolate in it, really nice rich chocolate flavor, also a favorite Matcha - the matcha flavor is there but it's too bitter, it needs more sweetness Ube - very mild ube flavor, was ok Coffee - this one was also ok, kind of tastes like those coffee candies you get Black sesame - the most disappointing flavor, it was such a faint black sesame flavor, totally NOT the rich roasted black sesame flavor you would expect, maybe they are using unroasted black sesame I would only get the yuzu and chocolate cheesecakes again. I've also tried their matcha latte but it was standard, not memorable, but I would try their other drinks.

    I stopped by Jaunt Coffee Roasters after having heard good things from a couple people in passing…read more What you'll notice first is the somewhat difficult parking situation--it's in a lot with a number of other popular businesses, so parking can be sparse. That said, this is some of the best coffee in San Diego. It's worth the parking situation. I ordered an oat milk cortado and a whole milk latte. Both were delicious--balanced, flavorful, and showcasing serious attention to detail. My mom said the latte was one of the best she has ever had. The store itself has a cute and fun interior that's welcoming. They have tons of seating, including booths, high-tables, and even a big wrap lounge chair. The staff are really friendly and helpful people who smile, offer suggestions, and engage you authentically. Overall, highly recommend Jaunt to all coffee lovers (and even the casual dabblers).

Both were refreshing and very tasty. Highly recommend both. The service was fantastic. Everyone that worked there was kind and lovely but special shout out to John who excitedly explained all of the different beans (we wanted to take a bag home) and their specialty drink options. He was patient with all of our questions and very knowledgeable about where to steer us. It looked like they had empanadas but they also have cheesecake! We got a slice of the biscoff cheesecake and it was hella tasty. A lot of people were in here working which was nice. There are a lot of seating options and the AC was on which was ALSO very nice. They also have outdoor seating as well. It's in an unassuming industrial building but because of that parking is plentiful!

I was told that my order would be ready in 10 minutes in the app and I waited over 30 minutes. Two of my friends that I walked in with ordered their drinks at the counter and they received their drinks before we did, within minutes actually. Come to find out, we walk up to the counter and our food and drinks are just sitting there along with a long line of other orders. No names being called, no attempt to help. Everyone working there had no smiles on their faces. I have been to this better buzz multiple times and have never experienced a bunch of people that looked like they did not like their jobs. When asked if we can have our drinks and food sitting there, the one girl said, "I'll get them to you when I have time"....HUH? Are you crazy? What kind of customer service is this. I waited another few minutes, and since she had no urgency I went back up and asked for my food and drink now!!! What's the point of ordering online when they are not even going to cater to the people that ordered ahead of time? The ice in my drink was already melting and my hot egg bites were cold. I was very disappointed in this experience today. Get it together Better Buzz Miramar! Not ok to treat your customers this way, especially when this place is as expensive as it is. From the picture of the girl with the rude face, you can see all of the drinks just sitting on the counter. She wasn't wearing a name tag, and they need to know who their people are that are driving away business. Do better!!!!!I will not be back to this location. Fashion Valley has better service with people that have smiling faces. Turns out, someone had the same exact rude experience in the drive through, based on a review I read after this was posted. Clearly the attitude has not improved. Poor service will not be tolerated.
