All day, all I thought about was sushi! Yes, and I do mean all day:) I stated to my hubby that I wanted to try all the sushi rolls on the menu of Sumo Sushi & Hibachi. So, this evening I started with the House Roll. It has tuna, snow crab, and avocado with eel sauce. At first, I was afraid because of the eel sauce, but I decided to take it like a champ! I will say this sushi was delicious. I liked it. It had a nice texture, great taste and good presentation. I also tried the Rainbow Roll. It's a California roll with tuna, salmon and yellow tail with avocado. As for this, it was just okay. I liked all the ingredients, but the taste was not flattering to me. Again, it was okay. Not bad at all, but it isn't one I would purchase for myself again. I also purchased the edamame. I love these, I eat them as a snack:) Overall, great service as usual, prices are reasonable, and the restaurant is clean and well lit. Can't wait to see what sushi roll I try next!! read more

Wow! Might have a new favorite spot! Staff is nice. Food quality is great. Prices are super reasonable! Third spot we tried for a late lunch in the area & the only one open.....SO HAPPY the others were closed, so we could find this gem! .....my budding Foodie Critic Son reports they have THE BEST YummYumm Sauce--it's made in house with "perfect amount of kick. Not overly spicy. Tons of Flavor" ! read more

SUMO SUSHI HIBACHI - So good it disappears! Miso soup, Shrimp/veg Tempura, Cali Roll, Tuna Roll, Yellowtail Roll.....and Extra Yum Sauce To Go!!! - Japanese Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Visited Sumo Sushi and Hibachi recently and had a decent experience overall. I ordered the chicken and scallops express plate, which came with veggies and rice. The protein and vegetables were absolutely drenched in sauce. The rice was super plain and there was a lot of it, which felt overwhelming unless you're really into rice. The avocado salad was pretty disappointing. Just a few (maybe 5-6) paper-thin avocado slices on a bed of plain iceberg lettuce--no extras, no flavor. Definitely overpriced, but hey, low on calories. The place was busy the whole time, so that probably means the food and sushi is fresh. I didn't try any rolls, but two people in my group did and said they were good. Bonus point for the adorable little girl with pigtails (possibly a staff member's daughter?)--she was super cute and brought a sweet, friendly vibe to the place. Would I go back? Maybe, but only if I could get the sauce on the side. read more

Ordered sushi via Uber eats and it came freshly prepared. First time ordering from here but it will not be the last. Some of the best sushi I have had in Columbia in awhile. I ordered the volcano roll that include deep fried crab, cream cheese, crab stick crunch topped with eel sauce and spicy mayo. Do yourself a favor and try this roll. I also ordered extra sauce and it came with the order with no issues. Good customer service. read more

Excellent value. The food is on the same level as the hibachi restaurants. There are two differences, they don't cook in front of you, and the prices are a lot less.. The inside of the restaurant is clean and all of the employees are friendly. This is a definite place to return to. We tried the fried krab sticks, and they were very good. They have booths and tables for dine in, or you can take it home. Do yourself a favor and try the. Out. read more

Shop was busy during evening meal hour. Beef was a little chewy and chicken was on the dryer side of done but sauces made up for both. Quality was as expected, good; because we've all had better. The sushi was bland - spicy yellow tail - not spicy at all. Not sure I got $24 worth of quality or quantity. Otherwise the place was clean and staff were working hard. I'd come back to try something else. read more

Very good good service don't mind what you're doing in the restaurant. I screamed in the restaurant on accident didn't seem to care. I would recommend this for any family outing or any date read more

SUMO SUSHI HIBACHI - This food was so good. Great service excellent - Japanese Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I was driving to Charlotte for the weekend and wanted to stop for something on the way that wasn't fast food. I needed gas anyway so I stopped off the highway to see if anything was nearby when I found Sumo on Yelp. It was simple hibachi in a plaza, but this was a great find. The place was very clean, nice staff and the food was great. We had leftover chicken teriyaki which turned into a late night snack at the hotel. I would absolutely stop here again. read more

SUMO SUSHI HIBACHI - Shrimp Tempura and Boston Roll - Japanese Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

was absolutely great, friendly and price not bad. Will be going back for sure. vegetables were cooked perfect and so was chicken.

Bae and I were looking for a quick lunch before picking up the kids from school today and Sumo was one of the places we haven't been yet but heard good reviews about. I thought it was more of a traditional restaurant vs typical hibachi spot where you order at the front but it was still a cute little atmosphere. It was really clean and organized. I ordered the hibachi shrimp yakisoba because I truly love noodles over rice and a spring roll. My bf got hibachi steak and scallops and he did ask for noodles instead of rice but I don't think the guy heard him because they gave him rice. But when we told them, he was quick to fix the order and give him noodles. I didn't get a chance to take a picture of his food but the steak and scallops were cooked perfectly and they looked beautiful. It was full of flavor cooked with the zucchini and mushrooms. My shrimp was also cooked perfectly and had great flavor with the yakisoba noodles. It was actually a pretty decent meal for lunch. The spring roll was good but didn't have much filling so it was mostly the wrap. It tasted really good though. I think next time I will try the crab wontons and their rolls to see how those are. Overall I'd say 8/10 read more

For a long time I lived in an area where there was a teriyaki joint on every corner. So there was a lot of competition for your patronage. I expected better from Sumo given their ratings. Prices were market rate. The shrimp and vegetable tempura had a lot of shrimp but few veggie (mostly broccoli). The tempura was greasy but OK. I ordered hibachi steak and chicken, and my wife hibachi chicken. The portions were reasonably sized. The food was heavily seasoned. The vegetables were slightly overcooked. The chicken was fresh and tender, and better than the steak. read more

The food is very consistent and it is reasonably priced for the amount of food you get! This is our favorite takeout place for hibachi in columbia. The restaurant is very clean and the service is quick! read more

It's a decent place. Clean. Sushi was just alright, nothing to write home about. The fish was good, there just not much of it. This is a place you come up to the counter to order and then wait for food to be made. It was a bit odd cuz they packed our food in to go boxes even though we never asked them to and were waiting at the table. Good place if you want sushi in a pinch. Not a place you'd go for a date or good time with friends. read more

Portion sizes are small compared to other hibachi restaurants. Sushi rolls are also small. Taste is okay.

Decent Hibachi and great sushi! Smaller portion of rice than I'm used to and not as flavorful as other Hibachi spots but not bad. I wish it was a bit cheaper for what is essentially a fast casual restaurant. read more

Not bad - just don't expect fried rice when you order friend rice. I got dry white rice that had a splash of soy sauce on top. Dumplings weren't bad at the chicken wasn't either. read more

This place has great prices, friendly staff, fresh food, and clean area! All of the staff is super friendly! read more

The best hibachi I've had in columbia, far better than Sakura or Tsunami and at a better price. Sauce was perfect, chicken and shrimp were tender, veggies were delicious. Great price for 8pc dumplings with sizable filling. They were busy with pickup orders but our food came out quickly. Tables were very clean. (only Hibachi House on Main St. can compare) read more

Staying at a local hotel. Tried this restaurant based in the reviews. It was excellent. The restaurant itself was basic but the food was spectacular. Tried the miso soup, two types of sushi, and both the chicken and steak hibachi. The food rivals the sit down hibachi restaurants we have been to in the past. Would recommend. read more

Amazing sushi! Very tasty and very affordable priced. Super nice walk up counter with all the options on a tv screen or available as a menu.

Food was perfectly seasoned and cooked! Family all got hibachi tonight, but will be back to try the sushi!

Waited 40 minutes in the restuarant only for my order to find out my order was never started. After the rush, I asked where my food was and it wasn't even started. They offered to remake my food but by that time I was upset and just wanted my money back. When I got my money back, they weren't even remorseful for the long wait and no apology was given. Don't waste your time at this place. read more

Food is great, visiting from Atlanta and surprised by how good quality the sushi and hibachi are, would definitely recommend, very good pricing also. read more

Great food me & my fiancé came on a sun&the customer service was great..definitely coming back to try the tiger roll

Very clean restaurant, minimal seating. The food is fresh & delicious! I ordered a house salad with ginger dressing, edamame, a spring roll & the chicken steak & shrimp hibachi. My total was $24.18. This was more than enough for 2 meals. The ginger dressing is homemade & had a good twang to it. The lettuce mix was crisp. The edamame needed a little more salt flakes, the beans were steamed perfectly creating that perfect pop. The spring roll has a little more breading than a rice wrapper but was tasty & worth ordering more! The steak was seasoned, the chicken had some teriyaki sauce on it & I wish there had been more. The shrimp wasn't fishy tasting or smelling just right! The only complaint was the huge chunks of onions. I love the vegetables but the onions were left too big. The cashier was friendly & polite, brought my bag to the table I had perched at & directed me to the takeout station. They had already provided duck sauce & shrimp sauce in the bag. read more
