I love the food here. If you look closely, most of the negative reviews are related to the service. But the reality is, this place is busy because the food is really good AND there is a significant amount of prep. Yes, they don't answer their phone sometimes. Yes, it can take a while to get your food. But I suspect this is because they are already so backed up with orders they can't be sure they will even get to you. It sure doesn't seem like this is due to laziness. They are always very busy and working hard. So order early and enjoy. read more

Just a heads up before going that this is a small takeout only place. I appreciate all the stuff that came with the meal, so the high price point is more worth it (lots of noodles, fried rice, and veggies along with soup or salad) Unfortunately, my beef was super tough even though it was medium rare. Quite an accomplishment, but not a good one! I tried some shrimp from my gf's entree and that was a lot better. The noodles were okay. They just used linguine noodles rather than Asian lo mein noodles, but flavor was decent. In my opinion, the chicken fried rice was the best part - it was hibachi style fried rice with butter in it, like you'd get at Benihana. It was flavorful and delicious! I probably would've given this a 4 if I had the shrimp, but I'm glad I know that the beef should be avoided. While I wouldn't be opposed to eating here again, I don't think I'd actively seek it out. read more

$40 plus dollars for 2 carry out meals. Then the cashier turns the screen and asks for a 25% Tip. For what? It's carryout and you did nothing. read more

One thing I love is hibachi. Two things I love is convenience and care. Sumo Japanese Grill gives me the perfect hibachi experience without having to watch a chef do a bunch of tricks on the stove. read more

Sumo is a takeout restaurant that serves good quality food. I ordered the Hibachi Steak with salad, fried rice and noodles, mixed vegetables, and a side of garlic butter. There was enough food for leftovers, making it a delicious alternative to the typical takeout or fast food places on Ford Road. Don't make the mistake of walking in to make an order and expecting to get food in 10-20 minutes. It can take 45 minutes for them to fulfill an order. I order online expecting that it will take at least half an hour before my order is ready for pick-up. read more

Great take out, chicken fried rice with yum yum sauce is a must. Large portions give enough for sharing or left overs. read more

Sumo Japanese Grill - Teppanyaki Near Me - Canton, Michigan

Food is always good, the issue is how long it takes to get the food. I understand restaurant business as I have worked at a very busy restaurant myself. No where else have I ever had to wait an hour and 20 minutes to get some food. I cancelled my order today, a few minutes after placing it, and was notified it will take 3 days to receive my refund, which is crazy to me. This place needs to do better for the amount of customers they service. read more

The best steak hibachi I've had in a long time. Cooked perfectly to order. Ordered with grilled veggies and rice. The veggies were fresh, tender, and seasoned just enough while allowing the natural flavors to come through. I substituted extra veggies for the noodles and was so glad I did. They had onions, zucchini, yellow squash, broccoli, and carrots. I got a lot of food for the price. And finally, this was an Uber delivery and those are never as good compared to when you dine in, but this was great. Totally five stars out of five stars. So if you're looking for a healthy alternative to french fries and hamburgers, this is your spot. read more

All bad... over priced! Slow, rude, incompetent employees. Double check your items before you leave, employees are not even bright enough to give you the items you paid for... just walk away! Save your money! read more

This is one of my kiddos favorite spot to dine in when it comes to Japanese fusion. They recommended this place as it was my first time visiting. The dishes were sort of rice bowls with a choice of protein and a scoop of Lo-'mein style noodles or vegetables. We went with all the choices of beef bowl, chicken bowl, and shrimp bowl. I enjoyed all the dishes as the meat was very well seasoned, especially the beef and shrimp. These were all to go orders, as no dine option was available at that time. Masks are required and the business took good steps towards Covid preventions and safety. read more

Amazing food. I love it and the portions are generous for me. I always have food for the next day's lunch

The food is delicious. You get value for the price, large portions. It's best to call ahead. The pickup time is accurate. The space is clean and the workers are polite. read more

Tried the original Sumo in canton again. The food is good but the service and wait times are less than perfect. I called at 4:40 to order a chicken fried rice and a side of shrimp. I was told or at least understood the pickup time to be 5:15. When I arrived I was told that it wasn't 5:15 it would be ready at 5:50! I full hour and ten min wait no thanks!!! read more

We've been visiting sumo for some time, the last three times we came, I noticed the food doesn't have any taste now, it's like they just throw the food on the grill and cook it, I'm noticing a decline in the food taste, I think they lost me this time. I'm not big on giving review, but the deserved one today. read more

Always greeted when you come in, fast service with good food makes for an easy lunch or dinner.

Ok, be careful what you wish for. We hoped this place would get business so that they stayed around but they are now too busy! Walk in order was suppose to take 15 minutes but it was 35. The quality and quantity has gone down as well, portions are much smaller for same price. Maybe because they are working on 10 boxes at once you just don't get as much chicken and veggies. And FYI to the guy taking the $...the reason you are wearing gloves is so that $, which is pretty dirty, does not mix with food. So after taking payment you have to change gloves Ok, it went from bad to worse. WOW, the price for a chicken hibachi went from $10 to 14! Come on guys, this isn't a sit down restaurant! Our order was also completely messed up and they would not fix it. This place has really gone downhill. We won't be back. read more

Had the steak hibachi, very good, steak was kind of on the slim side but very well cooked With lots of flavor. read more

Carry-out Teppanyaki is an enticing concept to me. We tried Sumo Japanese Grill after getting excited when we drove by it on our way home from work every day. Sadly, I was disappointed. The fried rice had very little flavor (bland and a bit too soft). The tempura shrimp had borderline soggy coating. I don't eat broccoli, so I asked for extra zucchini or onion. I got a tiny portion of a couple slices of vegetables. I feel like someone threw a temper tantrum because I didn't want broccoli - I got a fraction of the vegetables that my companion got without making a special order. I love the concept of the items on Sumo's menu. But none of them were cooked to my satisfaction nor justified the pretty high price. There are too many other options in the area to give this place another try. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants! The meals are delicious and the portions are plenty. I normally get their chicken Hibachi and splurge getting salmon. Either way, I'm always satisfied read more

Sumo Japanese Grill - Chicken and shrimp - Teppanyaki Near Me - Canton, Michigan

If i had to pick a last meal on earth it would be the chicken hibachi with yum yum sauce.

This place is very good. I ordered ahead and got a heaping portion of food when i was told it would be ready. Was very full and probably shouldn't have eaten it all, but I couldn't stop eating. As to the people giving low reviews because they had to wait for their food... in what world do you walk into a takeout place that isn't fast food and order something and NOT have to wait 30 minutes? They told me 30-35 minutes over the phone and that's when it was done. If I have any other experience with wait times I'll let you know. For right now, it's all good. Just call ahead. read more

Excellent hibachi! Quality ingredients. Great value. $10 chicken hibachi comes with soup or salad, sticky rice, noodles, vegetables and a generous side of yum yum sauce. Very flavorful. Not swimming in sauce. Just done right. I actually drizzled a little bit of the delicious, brothy soup onto my sticky rice. SO FREAKIN TASTY!!! The shrimp was amazing too. Shrimps were huge and there were quite a few in there 6-8. read more

This place is amazing!! Highly recommend for anyone who wants quality hibachi food but cheaper. The quality of the food is amazing, I get it for takeout at least once a month read more

This place is so consistently good. I've had it probably a dozen times now and I am always happy with my food. My boyfriend has a shellfish allergy and I wrote it in the comments on my online order. When I received our order, shellfish allergy was circled on the receipt and written on his box. It's nice to see that they take the time to do that to ensure there's no contamination. No complaints about this place! read more

Calamari combo is soooo good. Really tender and tasty. I personally feel like steam rice is good enough with the meat. However, I gave 4 out of 5 because it's a bit pricey. read more

When I opened my box of food there was 2 fat flies sitting in my food, probably laying eggs. Which means the restaurant just has flies flying around and doesn't care about the customers food. read more

When you advertise that you are open till eight pm and refuse to answer the phone after 7 pm then you have now lost any chance at my business again. I called no less than fifteen times starting at 7 pm till 7:15. While I have never had any issues with the food, I do have a problem with a business who shuts off the phones early to leave at closing time. This was not only the Canton location but also the Livonia location. If they were closed for some other reason, I challenge the owners to reach out and explain, but as it stands I will never order from them again and I will tell all my friends who frequent their establishment. I would leave zero stars but there was no option for that. SMH read more

Expensive for take out/ foodcourt type of food. We placed our order, paid and right after paying, were told that the food will be ready in 25 mins. They should've told us before we paid that it was that long. So while waiting, a guy came in, complained that he waited 45 mins then was told that his order is still not ready and had to wait another 25 mins. He cancelled his order. After 25 long mins of waiting-- I knew it! Our food was still not ready and were told that it'll be another 15. Like the guy, we cancelled... so not sure if the food is good. Better be- for the price! read more

This is a good takeout spot for the 'Benihana' crowd. Prices have gone up already since opening no too long ago, but they are still very reasonable. You have your choice of the regular and not so much (calamari, swordfish). Their upcharges will get you into trouble, so be wary about that. I didn't care much for the chicken fried rice (no real flavor) but mostly everything else is a win. Their salad dressing is the star in my opinion. Inside it's just an open space and a few flat top grills to cook on. They will have your food ready on the counter, which could be thought of a little better. The pro is that they'll bring your food out to you, bit the MAJOR CON is the location. It's shoehorned into a mini lot next to pizza hut and there's almost always no parking most of the operating hours. I'm sure they'll expand or relocate in the future with this in mind, but wish it would happen soon. read more

Found this place on Yelp when I was craving some good teppanyaki. It is small inside. My recommendation is to call ahead. It takes time to make your order and there is only one cook top. I ordered the shrimp hibachi meal with extra veggies. It was so good. I highly recommend. read more

I had been wanting to try Sumo for a while and today was the day. I ordered shrimp with the fried rice for an extra $2. Next time I'll just settle for the steamed rice. There were maybe 3 little pieces of chicken in the rice and it wasn't flavored well at all. Having said that, the shrimp more than made up for it. Cooked perfect and tasted great with the yum yum sauce. The reason for 3 stars is due to the price. It was a little pricey for take out. If I am going to spend that much on a meal I'll go somewhere I can sit down and enjoy it. read more

We love this place !! Only negative is the parking lot . But the food is amazing !!!!!! Even the kids love if read more

Honestly the food here is extremely good. I am giving it a 1 star because of the customer experience trying to contact this place. If you want food you need to call 5-6 times, as they don't answer the phone. If you are lucky enough to get through it's usually 60-90 minute wait. Hopefully they expand because they can't seem to handle many customer orders. I would be willing to wait an hour, but placing an order over the phone is like trying to be caller #30 on a radio show. read more

This place is so cute! It's kinda hidden in ford road but definitely worth it to get carry out from here really good chicken and steak hibachi. read more

We just ate here tonight and I have to say it was delicious! We got the chicken and steak hibachis with chicken fried rice. The price is really good too. Each meal comes with steamed rice, noodles, vegetables, and your choice of either soup or salad. The salad was really great especially the dressing. We are going to get this from now on instead of go to Ichi bon. It's also nice to have noodles in the soup instead of just broth only. We will definitely be back. I feel bad we forgot to take pictures of our food before we ate it. read more

Great carry out restaurant. The good was tasty and the service excellent. It was my first time ordering and I will definitely be back.
