Interesting concept of all you can eat robot delivered food. There are options beyond sushi as well. Nice buffet with all kinds of things to try including salads, egg rolls, mussels, various desserts. Good way to try new things as well as economically feed those that like sushi. Our server was wonderful helping with what things the two celiacs could eat. Special precautions were taken to make rolls and the grilled salmon gluten free. They take reservations for parties of 6 and larger. You might choose a table over a booth for easier access to the buffet. Robots are fun especially if anyone is celebrating a birthday. Pricing is 2 tiered; if you want sashimi or nigiri you'll want to pay extra for the gold tier. It's worth it! read more

*Updating with new pics. We've visited Sumo several times now and we're always happy with every visit. Some of the buffet items have changed since initially opening but most of those items are now on the ordering menu. The menu does add and subtract "limited" items regularly. This month the adorable panda rice balls with chicken was added. So cute! The price per person has been slightly raised $1-$2 depending on the meal tier you choose. The servers are always so friendly and attentive. The robot servers are still fun to see too. Our orders are usually served about 50/50 between the robots and human servers. I generally describe the cuisine here as Japanese style food rather than a Chinese or even typical sushi only cuisine. This has become one of my husband's favorite spots. We definitely be back soon. read more

The missus and I came by here on a whim. After a really busy morning, we were starved and wanted to try something new. We arrived just after lunchtime, precisely at 3pm. The parking lot was desolate and I assumed the few vehicles parked outside belonged to employees. But we went inside and were seated right away. There were a couple of other customers already dining. It was cozy inside and I liked the fresh new look they gave this old Shari's. Once you figure out the ordering system, everything just makes sense. From the small buffet line, to the menu items. We sat in a booth straight across from the ice cream freezer, which I think is the ideal spot. Once our table was activated, we started ordering. I figured, from experience at other AYCE places with similar odering systems, it'd take several minutes for things to start appearing. But before I could get out of my seat, the robot servers were already bringing out a couple of dishes. I took a minute to appreciate the swiftness. Then we headed to the buffet line to grab assorted salads, fried chicken, ribs.... We were back at our table in about 5 minutes. A chef/server snuck up behind me and set down a coiple of our grilled orders. We had half our 1st round orders in front of us within 10 minutes of returning to our seats. The other half of the 1st round appeared, plate after plate in the next 5-10 minutes. I was really impressed. All the food tasted really good. I would have to say however, the grill timing needs work. the NY strip steak is so thin, that even if it arrived "medium" as ordered (barely pink), by the time I got to it, it was well done. Now, we got the gold tier because we wanted to indulge a little beyond sushi rolls. The sashimi and sushi deluxe plates were excellent. The hand rolls were good too. But I have another critique. They are served like little sushi tacos. It would be nice to have the nori they were served on to be toasted so they would have a bit of a crunch when you bit into them. As I recall, the nori was limp. My wife and I went 2 rounds. it was a great experience and we made it out before the dinner rush. One more thing about our visit. We sat a chatted and let our stomachs settle before heading back out into traffic. We live in Beaverton, so it was going to be a long drive home. But as we sat there, I happened to notice one of the employees with a spray bottle of cleaner and some rags, really cleaning the heck out of the booths as guests left. I really appreciate them making sure it's super clean in there. I would also like to respond to some of the 1-star reviews I read after I was back home. Many people's main complaints were from having to wait more than 30 minutes to get their little orders. These were large parties of 8 and 10 people. I think there is an imbalance of expectations from the restaurant vs customers. My wife and I had a wonderful experience, I think because of our timing and that it was just the 2 of us. If we were a party of 2-3, 15 items every 15 minutes can be a lot of food (as it was for us). But even 30 items for 10 people, who might be ordering mostly sushi... that's not much to spread out to so many people. Then stack that during rhe busy meal times and that's just disappointment for everybody. I hope the restaurant gets their timing right and patrons can take advantage of the less busy periods. I would love to see this place thrive. I have a growing list of places I prefer to go, and Sumo has automatically been added to it. read more

The people I dined with had been frequent customers to Sumo. They were raving about how refreshing it was to have a new AYCE sushi place in town and how they were satisfied with their past experiences at the restaurant. We were seated soon after our arrival as it was not too busy (Monday night) and our order portal opened up as we got settled in. Sumo's style of AYCE is different. You scan a QR code and submit your order to the kitchen rather than get up and grab the sushi yourself. Each table is limited to 90 minutes and there is a 12% gratuity fee added onto each tab. There are some hot items to grab, though, such as crab rangoon, egg rolls, pepper salted shrimp, fried rice, etc. There are also side dishes like edamame, ginger, wasabi, and more. Finally, there are some drink options like thai tea or mango tea and toppings like lychee jelly or popping boba. Our first round (you can order up to 15 items at a time and can order again after a 15 minute cooldown) arrived about 5-10 minutes after checking out the hot items. By the time the food arrived, we had not yet received water and had to ask one of the waiters floating around. The people I was eating with mentioned the past times they had dined in they had an assigned waiter. This time when we asked who our waiter was we were told that everyone was just helping everyone. We submitted our second round before we received our first round of sushi. After finishing the first, our second hadn't arrived yet. The 15 minute cooldown came, and we submitted a third round, still with no sights of our second round. It was difficult to flag down a waiter to ask about our order. When we finally were able to speak to someone and ask them to check on our order, they came back and told us that the kitchen was super backed up. 47 minutes later our second round of sushi came. The salmon, tuna, and yellowtail nigiri were good. The dragon roll was good, as well as the snowcrab and unagi handroll. The karaage, aburi salmon nigiri, and grilled salmon were pretty gross. Our order was missing a few items though, and we had to flag down another waiter, Eric, who was super sweet and eager to help out. We explained how long we had been waiting and how difficult it had been for us to try and get help previously. He checked the kitchen, told us it was super backed up (again) but after 1 hour and 2 minutes, we finally received the avocado salad we had been waiting on. Eric checked on us a few more times after and tried to make sure we received our third round faster than the previous. Thank you, Eric! You made our experience a bit better. The food at Sumo was decent, but for the price that we are paying (dinner prices are $30.95 for silver tier or $36.95 for gold tier), we should not have to be waiting for our food for half of the allotted time we are paying for. I do understand that kitchens get backed up as I have worked in restaurants myself, but the time we spent waiting, I felt, was excessive. Tables around us received each of the rounds they ordered. Diners who had been seated after us left before we could eat. I also understand the 12% gratuity, though in our case service was extremely minimal, it was hard to justify the service we were paying for. We spoke with the manager to express our frustration. They tried to help alleviate our dining experience, but we still left bummed out. I wanted to like Sumo. The food was half decent. The service, though, is not something I see myself coming back to. read more

Heard about this place through the grapevine from friends claiming higher quality sushi and buffet options. We dined with a group of 10 and were surprised to see a converted Shari's layout become the new home of Sumo Sushi and Grill AYCE. Service was excellent, young staff were attentive and explained the (2) tier options for a basic menu and gold menu which were all made to order. the section of ready made buffet options was limited to fried rice, fried chicken wings and drumsticks, cheesey mussels, seafood boil with crawfish, satay chicken skewers, not quite an abundance that stands above places like SuperKing or hiyaku buffet but enough quality to generate some appetite. the wing we were seated in was burning hot like an oven. yes the summer is here but what restaurant doesn't have adequate AC? The vents were on as I saw ceiling decor swaying back and forth but it was too human and sun kept blasting through the blinds. Ordering was simple, just scan the activated QR code - we opted to get the Gold Menu because most of the sushi items were gold. The little robot came out with a dozen trips. The timing is a bit slow and I think the app didn't let us order more as we quickly gobbled up the few pieces of teppanyaki shrimp and sashimi orders. Both were delicious. By the end of the night almost 9pm, some items still had not arrived and kitchen staff began bringing items to our tables: udon, sushi handrolls etc.. Some winners tonight include the fried oysters (juicy and crispy panko), teppanyaki shrimp (nice buttery and plump) the sukiyaki beef (fired at your table and takes about 10-15minutes to fully cook) sushi and sashimi (great for buffet quality, still an overuse of the trifecta unagi, sweet soy and mayo sauces) but decent. Some other buffets have horrible sushi or just use fake crab and cucumbers in 20 different rolls. at Sumo, there is sashimi and delicious sushi that could compare to a medicore sushi restaurant offering. decent, not the best but good enough. Fried calamari was good, katsu curry was ok, the gyudon beef was ok but no sauce on the meat or rice. most of the soup and rice bowl items have a sliced hard boil egg which is ok but probably a shortcut leftover available from all the ramen prep. Bad items include: ribeye shortribs in pepper sauce, no flavor and there was indeed pepper water sauce on it, the meat was cooked to a shoe leather consistency. I mean why no korean kalbi marinade? The grilled squid looked good but the beak was still in and not removed. The shrimp udon tempera was just soy broth, very salty and nothing balanced or resembling japanese food like the sukiyaki dish which was much better. chicken karaage had no flavor or seasoning. didn't try the ramen at all. didn't try the salads but heard the cucumber was good. Desserts were standard, chocolate mousse in a cup, little cream fruit cakes, popsicles and ice cream sandos in the center freezer. no soft serve. there is a cantaloupe jello budnt shaped thing that was good and a coconut pudding that was good. The (3) drinks at the food bar: pad thai, mango and fruit punch were ok, just overly sweet. did not try any of the speciality sweet drinks on the menu, just ordered sodas. The service staff kept checking in which was nice and were helpful in blocking out the sun on our faces that was like a magnifying glass burning an ant. besides the lack of air condition the Sumo Sushi and Grill is great to try. Not sure if I'll be back, just too long of a wait to order off a gold menu that didn't blow our minds. at $36 a pop and about $300+ total with some gratuity included this is a pricey buffet. There are no crab legs, frog legs, oysters, stir fry dishes, noodles at the food bar just a few items that will leave you questioning why there's a basic menu and gold menu. controlling food costs sure, but please turn on the air condition and fill out the main dishes to capacity. read more

What a fun new experience we had at this AYCE sushi and grill! They have a hot bar and beverage self serve that includes Thai iced tea, which I loved! They had a massive selection for their AYCE menu! Workers were very helpful and kind. They even sang happy birthday to our bday celebrant! They took over an old Shari's spot, so the tables were not as spacious enough to comfortably have all of our dishes and plates on, especially if you're going with a group of people. Definitely would return! read more

Went here for dinner on a Sunday and it was luckily not too busy yet when we got there around 5 o'clock, but once we got seated, he got really busy in the line. We had a pretty big group of about eight people so we had one of the bigger tables which allow us to do two orders every 15 minutes so a total of 30 items. Combined with the options at the hot bar, which were pretty good had some Cajun boil some muscles with mayonnaise and a lot of meats and noodles, it becomes a lot of food. We were worried about not having enough so we were ordering 30 items every 15 minutes and after three rounds, we were completely overwhelmed and took a while to finish it all. For the price, it was pretty awesome to have all the different options available especially all the sashimi which were pretty good. It was pretty busy and all the servers were very friendly and attentive and they also it's some pretty cool drinks such as Kool-Aid Thai tea & More. Would definitely come back sometime and maybe not be so crazy with ordering. read more

Have been in twice for lunch and both times it felt like it missed the mark a little. The sushi quality and taste is just okay which is disappointing for the price point. Service is fine. Staff have been friendly when I have been in. The food and little robots roaming around can take a bit to get out to you which is slightly frustrating when you are on a time limit. read more

I had seen a lot of negative reviews and I know that people have tried to come but be turned away by big crowds. We came first thing Sunday. I really like the sushi rice. It's well seasoned but not too much. It's also not too thick and heavy so going HAM is doable. My only issue with the sushi was some key ingredients were missing. Inari, creamy scallop and krab salad were a couple I would loved to have had. I like the rolls. I felt they had lots of options for everyone. I really didn't care for the spicy crab but that might have just been me because the rest of the party loved it. Some of the hot items are kind of lame. The pork and egg on the ramen were way overcooked. But that's the great part about ayce. Try it and move on. My wife loved the Tuna tataki. Perfect bite in her opinion. I loved the fun drink fountain. I really can't think of a restaurant that served kool aid. Can we normalize this. Good diverse desserts. The mochi is disgusting. Don't bother. I liked the little strawberry mousse and custard. Very reasonable too and great service. It says not to tip be we did anyway. I'd love to return. I can see how if it was crowded how service could get mucked up. We lost an order of 7 items but honestly if it came I wouldn't have finished. Fortunately it wasn't too crowded first thing Sunday. read more

Sumo Sushi & Grill - Sushi Bars Near Me - Oregon City, Oregon

We paid for the most expensive Gold dinner menu and I still left hungry. I absolutely did not get my $40+ worth, and the experience was nowhere near deserving of the mandatory 12% gratuity. The service was disorganized, the kitchen was clearly overwhelmed, and this place seriously needs to figure out what it's doing. We couldn't make reservations online (the one on Google doesn't work) and did it in person at a kiosk. We waited 40+ minutes for a table for two on a Sunday afternoon. We got a text and a follow-up call when our turn was up. We were seated right next to the kitchen back door and the dirty dish bus cart. From the moment we sat down, we were bombarded with ear-piercing kitchen noise and nonstop clanking as staff threw dirty dishes onto the cart. The kitchen noise eventually stopped, but the dish clanking never did. It made my head hurt. The AYCE bar is tiny. Hot food and condiments were decent, and I appreciated being able to grab sauces and wasabi myself. Desserts and free drinks were forgettable, and the pickled cucumber was never refilled the entire time. We ordered the maximum allowed for our first round. While waiting, we overheard another table complaining that their grilled items never arrived. Sure enough, ours didn't either. Two of the missing items were Gold-only grilled dishes. I asked our waitress and was told to wait another 5-10 minutes. The items never came. I asked again and was told the kitchen was a "mess" and that I needed to re-order everything. I did. Still nothing. A staff member with his hair tied up said he'd check on it, then walked past our table repeatedly without ever following up. Eventually, a Chinese staff member noticed our empty table and asked what we were still waiting for. Even then, nothing happened. After another 5-10 minutes of nothing, I gave up and re-ordered the same gold grilled items for the third time, even leaving a note saying this was the third time ordering the same items that never arrived. The food finally came out after the Chinese lady stepped in, and after all that waiting, the grilled items were a complete letdown. I ordered the butter garlic grilled squid, but it came out covered in black pepper sauce instead. As for the two Gold grilled items we paid $40+ per person for, the grilled short ribs and New York steak, were both awful. A friend who visited recently spoke highly of their New York steak, but whoever cooked mine that day was clearly incompetent. I ordered it medium, and it came out overcooked. Worse, it's basic knowledge to cut beef against the grain, yet they cut it along the grain, making it extremely chewy and inedible. We waited nearly an hour (technically the entire 90 mins) to get our gold grilled items: 3 pieces of short ribs and 4 tiny pieces of New York steak. I was still hungry and wanted to order more, but had to wait out the 15-minute cooldown. By the time it ended, our 90-minute limit was up, so we couldn't order anymore. Between the endless delays, zero communication, wrong dishes, and embarrassingly poor execution, this was an absolute failure of a "Gold" dinner. I finally gave up, paid, and walked out. The sushi menu was not bad. The salmon sashimi was thick-cut (6 pieces per order), but the quality was not good. If you only plan on eating sashimi, the gold dinner menu might be worth considering. But for the grilled items? Absolutely not. This place has the potential to be a 5-star restaurant, but not until the kitchen and service actually get their act together and figure out what they're doing. read more

Crowded (we waited over an hour), they were out of 1/2 the items on the menu, overpriced. Lunch/dinner for 5 yesterday. Long wait with insufficient space for the crowds - we waited in the car. The decor hasn't changed much since this was a Shari's. Tables are small making it difficult to deal with empty plates. Ordering is done through your phone, and they throttle orders to no more than 15 items every 15 minutes. Some of our orders came quickly, others took forever - my deep fried oyster appetizer came just as we were getting ready to leave. It tasted horrible - they used old oil and the breading was inedible. They have a nice buffet to give you something to start with - the salt and pepper shrimp at the buffet is the best thing on the menu, its really very good. The sushi was OK, just OK. It's a step above most Chinese AYCE sushi places, but if you are accustomed to good sushi you'll be disappointed. Example: my salmon skin hand roll (see photo) was a mess. The nigiri's and raw rolls were pretty good. Your orders are sometimes delivered via robot, sometimes by someone from the kitchen. The servers/bussers did a reasonable job of clearing empty plates, though some stacking prior to their arrival was required. Our bill was about $200 for 5 people including one child, as we had the Gold level. The Gold level was kind of a rip-off as they were out of salmon half the time, so maybe the Silver level would be a better buy. IMHO you will spend about about the same for excellent sushi from a good restaurant. It'll be interesting to see how this place does in the long run, whether the crowds continue. I know we will not be back. read more

We came to Sumo after seeing it on social media and for a Asian buffet / AYCE, it did not disappoint. In comparison to other Asian buffets, Sumo is on the higher end and better quality than other Chinese buffets in the area. Comparable to Makoto in Vancouver, but offers a made to order experience. They have a small selection of shabu shabu, rice bowls, good selection of sushi rolls, appetizers, hand rolls, and one buffet line. In the buffet line was fried rice, seafood broil, chicken wings, and a small selection of fruits and desserts. Bonus was free Thai tea and mango juice. Sushi quality is a step above your average Chinese buffet sushi, but a step down from a regular sushi restaurant. I will be back when I have Asian buffet cravings. read more

I came here for lunch with family and we were impressed based on the quality of food for an Asian buffet. We got the lunch gold menu, but were told that their dinner menu is also available during lunch. There is a hot bar where there is a decent variety of food you can get at any time, then you can use their QR code to order sushi and additional food as well. The food comes pretty quickly but made to order. We got a variety of sushi's and appetizers. They even have gyudon, currydons, ramen, and hot pot too. Everything was really good. I wouldn't say super amazing but for the price and the quality, it's well worth it. The service was phenomenal as well. read more

Simone Sushi & Grill had a lot of food. We reserved a table for 10 but got a table for 6. Not a big deal. It was busy. The ordering process was a little confusing at first. You have to snap the QR code to order. Once you choose, the orders arrive pretty fast. There's a buffet filled with food, desserts, drinks. It was pretty good. Sushi was fresh and tasty. Just be very hungry because there's a lot of choices with portions that are substantial. Topped off the meal with a coconut pudding and some candy. Would I come again? Maybe. It was just kinda overwhelming with wanting to try so much, but you can only eat only so much. read more

Came during their soft opening! So excited to have an AYCE place in Oregon City! They don't have their premium section up yet but the rest is all mostly available. The service was great, everyone was very friendly and walked us through ordering via the QR code, which was super easy. The drinks that were part of the buffet bar were good too! We did the dinner gold option, which included sashimi and nigiri. Dinner is served all day on weekends. We were able to try most of the fish options and they were super delicious. Loved the aburi white tuna and the sweet shrimp. The one thing we didn't love was that the squid still had the cartilage in it, wouldn't order that again. Would also love to see scallop on the sashimi section! We didn't get much from the buffet bar, except a couple desserts, but the baked mussels were tasty! Next time I'd love to try the wasabi octopus, saba, fried scallop, and fried calamari, which they were out of today. Of the cooked items, the New York steak was okay, same with the chicken karaage, but the short rib was quite good! Fried oysters and the grilled shrimp were yummy too! We ordered two of the grilled shrimp with garlic butter sauce. Watching the robots bring food back and forth was a fun experience too. Overall the experience was great and I can't wait to come back, especially to try the uni in the premium section! I would likely do the gold option when I come because having the option of nigiri and sashimi is awesome. If I came during lunch, I'd definitely try one of the shabu shabus. read more

Exceeded expectations for a $36.99 AYCE. The fish quality for the sashimi is top-tier for this price point. I was blown away by the variety of sides, including the noodles, fried dishes, and sweets. Even we order through the website, the staff is still attentive and welcoming. And the mobile ordering makes the process very smooth. Beautiful atmosphere! Worth the price! read more

Went here for a family's college graduation dinner and the food (especially the sides) was great. However...... the only thing that wasn't so great is the customer service. We were all excited to drink some alcohol and our graduate really wanted to come to this place to celebrate and have dinner. Most of our party gave the server a US state ID and a couple of us gave a CNMI (a US territory) ID (one of us accidentally gave an expired CNMI ID, but they had a state ID with them if they needed to provide a valid one). Not that we were nervous or thought anything of it because a CNMI ID should be a valid form of ID in the US. The server took a moment to look at our IDs and ran back to "scan" them. Now, we are all Filipino + 1 Chinese and some of us do look very young, but we were all over 21. As we ate and waited, the server came back and without an explanation, said "sorry, no alcohol for you tonight." We were all confused, shocked and it rubbed us all off in the wrong way because they hastily left without even giving us a reason as to why we were denied our right to drink. We asked another server about it and they called over the manager and the original server. Thinking the manager would give an explanation, they simply repeated the same words as the server. We had to get them to spill out the reason by asking them "but... why?" Aaand they said something along the lines that our IDs don't look real or that the fonts look weird. We tried to tell them that they were real, but they flat out pushed their refusal harshly. We decided to not pursue it any longer to not ruin the night. I get it, yeah... they have a right to refuse to serve alcohol. But based on everyone's reactions, this was a first for almost if not all of us to be unjustifiably refused. It just came off as ignorant and racist of the management. We went to a bar after and they accepted all our IDs! Not all the servers are bad. There was a really nice guy with big earrings and black long hair who made our table laugh so hard. So thanks, beautiful guy server! read more

We chose the lunch/gold option and were satisfied with the menu options. There is also a side bar to choose from as well. Everything we ordered was good. My least favorite item was the corn on the cob due to spice level. My favorites were mostly everything I ordered.

Sumo Sushi & Grill - Sushi platter - Sushi Bars Near Me - Oregon City, Oregon

First time here and it was packed on a Saturday night! For dinner, they had two prices for ayce. We went with the more expensive option ($37/per person) which included sashimi and other things listed on the menu. The food came out at a good pace. Quality of sashimi was ok. It wasn't fresh but it wasn't fishy either. I was seated on the other side of the restaurant/hot bar. My only complaint was that I had to pass through a crowd of people waiting for tables (cause the front desk was in the center of the restaurant) each time to get to the hot bar. Other than that, $37/per person isn't bad for the large variety of dishes! Also, the service was great! read more

Amazing time. Good food and service. First time there and my brother's birthday and got a 30 percent discount.

Our family decided to try this place out for the first time tonight. Food was great, service was so-so. The servers were all pretty slow on the draw and didn't really check on tables often, or at least not ours. We had to ask for waters half way through the meal. Apparently there's a fee per pound charged for left over food, which is totally understandable but was never communicated to us as being a thing. The server closing us out went to grab the one who seated us to verify and she came out all passive aggressive, "sorry it wasn't communicated enough," Ma'am, you didn't communicate it at all. We were seated, they asked the ages of the kids to determine the charges, and told us we order through the code and that it's 15 items per code and you can order every 15 minute interval, there was absolutely no mention of the food waste policy, otherwise we wouldn't have let the kids run amuck and getting whatever. There's also a 12% automatic service charge to all tabs that was not verbally communicated. We were confused on the grill aspect of the restaurant, but it's a great place for AYCE sushi. Ambience was elevated casual. Well designed space and ample seating for different sized groups. Definitely a place I would return to, but that server left a sour taste in our mouth and there are hesitations on returning. read more

For a buffet, this sushi was surprisingly good. The fish tasted fresh, the rolls were well-made, and there was a nice variety to choose from, classic rolls, nigiri, and some specialty options. Everything was refilled quickly, so nothing sat out too long. It's not omakase-level, but for the price and convenience, it definitely hits the spot. Great option if you want to try a little bit of everything without breaking the bank. read more

New offerings at the old Shari's in Oregon City. This is still their soft opening, but they're off to a good start. One of yelps sayings is "my camera eats first", and at Sumo they really mean it! All ordering is accomplished through a QR code menu that one must have a camera to order from. I assume if you don't have a phone, the staff can take your order, and there are two order kiosks upfront, a true buffet of options. All you can eat for 90 minutes at a tiered price point sushi and sushi buffet place. Leave your calculator at home they add 12% tip to start, and there's a default 5% tip at the register. I know this because they explained it all to me, and it's written down at the table. I don't know what I think about how they do business but I know I appreciate their clarity. The rocky roll, chicken karaage, and chicken katsu were all expertly fried, and delicious. I tried a nice simple fresh tuna roll they very kindly and without additional charge swapped soy paper for the seaweed. It was fine. It was the least interesting thing in front of me today, but I think that speaks to how well the other foods were prepared. Overall, if you're down for a timed food challenge at an all you can eat place and you don't mind spending about $30 p.p., it was pretty tasty. read more

Really good buffet! Half the buffet is out and you can order sushi, apps, noodles, and sides through a GR code on the table and a little robot brings it to your table. The Thai tea was really good and the food was was yummy. read more

Sumo Sushi & Grill - Sushi Bars Near Me - Oregon City, Oregon

Sumo All You Can Eat Japanese Buffet is a solid addition to the Hilltop Shopping Center, located in the old Shari's building where Albertsons is the anchor tenant. Phoebe and I like to go on weekdays, especially for lunch, which is served until 3 PM. Lunch pricing is very reasonable. Adults are about $20 and kids up to 12 are only $12. We usually go later in the lunch window and treat it like an early dinner. Getting in and out for under $35 for the two of us feels like a win these days. They do add a 12% gratuity, which is actually less than what I'd normally leave anyway. The buffet has plenty of protein options, which I appreciate. There's dark meat chicken, chicken skewers, chicken thighs, fried chicken drumettes, potstickers, mussels, and short bone-in BBQ pork pieces. The pork is flavorful, but I would caution the restaurant about serving it on the buffet line. I ran into quite a few small bone fragments, which could be a choking hazard, especially for kids. Other offerings include vegetable fried rice, seaweed salad, mixed greens, miso soup, egg drop soup, and a few drink options. There's also battered, deep-fried shrimp served with the shells still on. That one puzzles me a bit since the batter covers the shell and peeling it turns into a greasy finger situation. I eventually just ate the whole thing, shell and all. Not terrible, just odd. Dessert is simple but satisfying, with coconut pudding being the standout. There's no beef on the buffet, but for lunch, the chicken and pork options are more than enough. I usually stick with the chicken skewers and potstickers, though lately I've been working through the pork ribs. Nothing here is wildly experimental, but the food consistently seems fresh, the selection hits the basics well, and there's usually at least one item that surprises me in a good way. The staff has always been friendly and welcoming, which goes a long way. All in all, this place fits our routine perfectly. It fills us up, doesn't wreck the budget, and feels like a welcome neighborhood spot. We're glad to have it here. I've started leaving my Signature Sumo water glasses behind for their amusement.

Sumo Sushi & Grill - JR and Rocky - Sushi Bars Near Me - Oregon City, Oregon

If you're going there for the menu. It's worth it. The buffet is very small. I didn't even bother trying. Food looked dry. The crawfish was all gone when i went up. Okay the GOOD stuff, sushi are fresh, the rolls are delicious. The appetizers were tasty as well. This day in age the soda really would be free, it really is a benefit for them with people filling up on soda instead of the food . The Asian flavoring is a bit to desire, but the steaks are great. read more

The food was absolutely delicious, all of the waitstaff was friendly and happy to help. One young man went absolutely above and beyond to check ingredients for me. Unfortunately, management has really dropped the ball-- there were gluten containing items on both the printed and online ordering menus. Despite asking many questions and having several staff members consult the kitchen I did end up ordering 1 roll and didn't realize it had fried components until I was almost done with it. People with celiac disease can suffer for 2 years after a gluten exposure. I have not eaten that much gluten in over a decade. What was an expensive and very celebratory dinner for my daughter turned into a full blown panic attack for Mom and now medical bills and suffering. It's unfortunate-- as everything else was lovely. Despite being listing on the printed Gluten Free restaurant-- the California roll was not actually GF-- usually isn't. When I brought this up they confirmed that it is not gluten free... Spicy hand roll came with tempura flakes on it.... Despite all of this-- I would eat there again but I would go when it's less busy and likely ONLY eat sashimi as it's hard to sneak gluten in there. Manager gave me $5 off. It was a kind offer but I would have been happier paying double to not be poisoned read more

Went for lunch and walked right in--no line, seated immediately. Ordering through the app was simple, though it might be tricky for anyone not familiar with scanning QR codes. You get 10% off when you sign up for their free membership, which is a nice perk. Silver utensils, chopsticks, and napkins are available at the buffet area for self-service. We ordered the "Silver Choice," and between that and the buffet, there was more than enough food. Everything came out fast and fresh. The tuna and salmon rolls were packed with juicy, fatty pieces of fish. The udon was excellent and served in smaller portions so you can sample multiple options. The grilled chicken was tender and flavorful, and the baked shrimp were incredibly soft and tasty. The buffet has a great mix of fresh veggies and fried items. The mayo-baked mussels were especially good. The self-serve chai tea is included with the buffet, and you can even add boba and other toppings--super fun touch. The old Shari interiors has been replaced with a fresh decor and it's refreshing. We were informed about the 12% service charge up front, and the server politely asked if we'd like to add an additional 3%. We did, since the service was great. Overall, it's a fantastic spot to eat, and we'll definitely be back. read more

At best 2 star. The food is very cheap and fills you up fast. Their drink options are coolaid, water, ice tea. For $30 it's not worth it.

This place is gross. Do not eat here. Worst sushi I've ever had. Also a terrible and confusing buffet style menu.

We chose the more expensive option with sashimi, and while the selection was great, some of the sashimi pieces still felt slightly frozen. There was a lot of variety available to order, though the hot food options at the counter were pretty limited. Service was a bit slow, but that was understandable since the place was packed. We definitely left feeling full for days. read more

Sumo Sushi & Grill - Sashimi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Oregon City, Oregon

If you just eat the buffet it's not worth the price. Then trying to order anything from the app they use to get any sushi or drinks it's not a place to eat. Then they charge a 12.95 for a per pound trash fee for uneaten items the buffet was mostly not palatable. Just a waist of time and money. read more

Awesome service! The server was very informative! The food was delicious! Great service!
