I have never had a bad delivery from Sumo Sushi. My go-to is always the Philadelphia Roll. I love how fresh the salmon is. And how much is inside the roll. I also ordered the Scallion Pancakes & Shrimp Shumai. Everything was fresh and delicious! The sauce for the shumai did spill but only inside the container so it only added to the shumai! My orders always arrive super quick as well! read more

Very solid takeout sushi spot. Spicy tuna and yellow tail rolls are good. So is red dragon roll.

Great sushi and great lunch special. I come here almost entirely for the lunch special lmao. You can get either 2 rolls and a soup or salad for 10.95 or 3 rolls for 13.95. I love it. I usually get the 3 roll special and never regret it, lol. They also are really quick with making it,so their service is pretty good. The only downside of this place is the interior. It's not much of a sit-down restaurant. There is very limited seating. You're much better off ordering to-go. read more

I got Sumo Sushi for take out. The Sumo Sushi Special was delightful! Very flavorful and fresh. The fantasy roll was also exceptionally delicious. The scallion pancakes are not something I recommend getting for take out. I'm not sure how they are when they're fresh, but they didn't taste good at all when they made it home. Very greasy and floppy, not crisp like we were hoping. I'd be willing to try it in the restaurant for a fair review! read more

Business trip to Philly for a couple of days and I always find a sushi place to go. This place was close to my hotel and had decent reviews. I walked there to only find out they are only doing take out or delivery. For me not a problem. They have a QR code on the window for the menu. Ordered al la carte: miso soup, 2 hand rolls and various sushi including yellow tail, tuna, octopus and flying fish roe. Nice size pieces and everything was super fresh. Very much enjoyed it and will come back next time in town. They also prepared everything within 10 minutes. read more

We ordered a spicy tuna roll, fusion roll, and sumo special roll. Everything was fresh and delicious, and the sizes of the rolls were ample with a good proportion of fish and other ingredients. The space seems more like a takeout spot, they had a few tables and let us eat there but it wasn't table service. No tap water, we had to buy bottles. Would definitely order delivery from them! read more

This place had the most highly rated lunch special in Philly on Foursquare and I see why. My sushi was fresh and the portions were generous. I would definitely recommend it and will be back in the future! read more

Tasty sushi in a very con convenient location. Got a sushi combination for four which was plenty, as well as two soups and a salad. Very fresh fish, large but manageable pieces, and great dressing on the salad (although japanese salads are always super tiny). My favorite was the salmon, super tender and neutral, with avocado. read more

Shout out to this business for providing an awesome COVID-19 take away experience. We ordered online and the food was ready in 15 minutes for pickup!! I couldn't believe how quick. Just as an FYI their address changed from broad, they're now located on the corner of pine and 13th. But wow! So delicious - I ordered four specialty rolls: red dragon roll, sumo special, Sukaro, and rainbow roll. Highly recommend ALL four. Everything was delicious and very fresh. We were craving sushi and this hit the spot! Also got a standard salmon and avocado roll - which was soo delicious (the salmon literally melts in your mouth). Side note: they also included a complimentary seaweed salad this time which was the cherry on top. Definitely give this business a chance especially how kind and awesome they were when I picked up the food. Extremely appreciative and they did an amazing job having great quality food during this hard time! Will definitely order again. read more

Sushi was good but the maki or regular rolls are so small compared to some other places and not for a cheaper price either .... I also am not impressed by the selection of chef specialty rolls. I ended up getting nothing off the specialty roll menu because they didn't seem worth it. I got a cooked maki roll and got the Dragon roll which was okay ish. Kind of boring. But good. Another thing I didn't like was the soy sauce. Tasted extra salty compared to others. I probably won't come back here and continue to get my regular order at the other place I go to. The sushi was fresh here though and well made. Order arrived fast and can't beat no fees or delivery fee on grub hub lol. Everything Tasted fine here. Just not for me. read more

The food is amazing!! I ordered the Sushi and Sashimi lunch platter which included 4 pieces of sushi 8 pieces of sashimi and one salmon avocado roll. It was extremely fresh even though it was delivered and they were generous with the serving. There was enough for two meals and was a very good price. read more

Food was good but unfortunately not ready by the time that I was there to pick it up. Ordered at 2 to be ready by 250 and didn't leave until after 305 even though there were few people in the restaurant! I ordered the happy lunch with a California, Spicy Tuna and Alaskan roll and all were great. Also got a great surprise that Miso soup was included which I didn't know. I'll be back potentially for dine in when I'm not in such a rush! read more

This is probably the best sushi delivery in Philly and it's always SO fast. I'm writing about a particular incident in which my food was stolen before I could retrieve it from the bottom of my building. Once the confusion was settled the restaurant made my order again and had it delivered to me (again so quickly). It was an unfortunate situation but I really appreciate that management went above and beyond to make sure I received the food I ordered. 5 star food and service. read more

Better than Fuji Mountain and Vic's Sushi. I am a traditionalist and love shrimp tempura so I literally ordered the lunch special with eel avocado roll, shrimp tempura roll and a dragon roll. All had amazingly crunchy shrimp tempura and fresh avocado - hit the spot!! I also appreciate that we arrived at 3:05 on Saturday and they still honored lunch special (which is supposed to end at 3 PM M-Sat). Workers are always on their phones and look very unhappy so I wouldn't say the waitstaff was the best but good solid sushi! read more

I was craving sushi and really didn't go to far. Luckily Sumo is right around the corner from me and ordered the spicy tuna and crab rolls. They definitely hit the spot and were amazing. The amount of rolls was an unexpected gift, so I definitely will be back for me. If you're looking to get some sushi on the fly, I would definitely recommend popping in! read more

My favorite place to order in sushi from! In terms of grubhub delivery, it's awesome that they deliver to Old City without charging any fee and the minimum is only $10. I have also been to the restaurant once for lunch, and it's very casual with some great lunch specials. My go-to's are usually the miso soup, spicy tuna roll, spicy salmon roll, and the sashimi appetizer. The fish is always fresh and the price is very reasonable. I've also tried some of their special rolls such as the Fusion roll and the Red Dragon roll which have been delicious, but definitely more pricey. They also have a good seaweed salad, as well as their avocado salad. Overall I've been satisfied with everything I've tried at Sumo, and I will continue to order from here! read more

Pretty low quality considering the great alternatives in this city. I wouldn't recommend unless you're desperate. They are efficient in terms of preparation and only do takeout. read more

Ordered the lunch special again for delivery at work. Delivery was faster than grubhub expected (which was listed as an hour and 15 minutes..) it came after about 45 minutes after ordering. All the rolls are good, nothing mindblowing but good for your sushi fix. The rolls aren't pretty by any means, pretty sloppily put together -- but taste wise it's good. Spicy tuna was what I expected. "Yellowtail crunch" is not what I expected. Most sushi restaurants that list " crunch" mean the tempura flake, this one had slices of apple in it. It tastes fine, and good -- but it's also not chunks of yellowtail like the last lunch order I placed. It's spicy minced yellowtail with apple.. which again is fine, but misleading with the title. The shrimp tempura was one of the more messier versions I've gotten, with cucumbers falling out of the roll, that one is just OK. Miso soup saw little improvement, more seaweed this time, but I find a wopping total of 3 tofu floating around.. still skimpy. Moral of the story -- solid sushi fix for a fair price in the city, but don't get your hopes up. read more

Okay - this place is close to my block and only does takeout, but from what I saw of the inside the place is spotless. I always stick to my standards when trying out a new Sushi place, so I ordered a Futomaki roll and an order of Spicy Crab (Kani) salad and it didn't disappoint. The Mrs. ordered a Red Dragon & a Pine Street Roll and was very happy. I highly recommend! read more

Sumo Sushi - Spicy Tuna Roll Spicy Kani Salad Futo Maki White Tuna - Sushi Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I had low expectations for Sumo but it delivered beyond my expectations. It's a fairly small space - maybe about a dozen tables, all within arm's length of each other. The biggest table can only sit 4 people so if you're bringing more people, it might be useful to call in advance. It's BYOB (despite the fact that they also serve beer/liquor) and no corkage fee, which is terrific. They even provided a cork for us to re-cover the wine (although it didn't fit but still, a nice gesture). We went for the Party Platter for 4 (despite that there were only 2 of us), which has California rolls, spicy tuna, unagi, Alaska roll, rainbow roll, and dragon rolls, and all for $35. Figured it was more cost-effective to order the platter than a bunch of individual rolls. I wasn't so enthused by getting California rolls with the Party Platter but we didn't have any trouble substituting those out with the similarly-priced salmon rolls. We also ordered the spider rolls, which were terrific; the softshell crab was still warm. The waitress checked on us every so often but we didn't require much attention. There were about 4 guys busily rolling sushi behind the counter. I was a little "meh" when I saw the menus -- they're laminated but a bit dog-eared and kind of falling apart. Otherwise, my experience here despite how underwhelming it initially seemed was a terrific one and I'd be happy to return. read more

After living around sumo sushi for a few years, I suppose I should update my review. I would say this is standard level sushi- I probably would not go out of my way to come here if I didn't live near it, as there are fancier places in the city. With that said, it is the best take-out sushi in the area as far as price and quality. Sometimes they even throw in an extra roll or a side of edamame/seaweed salad. It is a complete different product and experience than if you were to go to, say, Sagami across the bridge. I still get take out from here at least once a week, and I do walk here to eat in once in a while. The staff are very attentive and nice. read more

Love their sushi here. The salmon is always super fresh and has a great rich taste. Great lunch specials too!

Someone once told me sushi with slices of ginger, work like a charm with upset stomach. So, I ordered sushi for delivery. - Philadelphia and Alaska Rolls were ok. - Delivery was quick. - Fair prices. - When the delivery man arrived, I realized that unfortnatly I didn't have cash to tip him. He refused to leave until I wrote a tip on the receipt. I understand I should have checked before I placed the order. But come on, it wasn't so nice. Two and Half Yelps. read more

Sumo Sushi - Philadelphia Roll and Alaska Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Ordered chirashi and scallion pancakes from Grub Hub for delivery. The chirashi came with miso soup, which was a generous portion and well flavored. The fish is of fantastic quality - some of the best I've had anywhere. The restaurant even did well to keep the hot (soup) away from the cold (fish). The minor disappointment was the separate rice from the fish. Very minor issue and I think I got the better end of the deal with the fish to rice ratio. The big disappointment were the scallion pancakes. They were VERY oily and too chewy. The best part of the scallion pancakes were the spicy and sweet dipping sauce. TL;DR: the scallion pancakes are a disappointing oil bomb and the quality of the fish is fantastic. read more

Found this place on Grubhub and took a chance ordering without reading yelp reviews (a first)! Delivery was fast and the food was good. I like how they have a vegetarian special roll so I can eat something besides a cucumber avocado roll. My SO enjoyed his regular rolls. The soup was big but not my favorite. A special vegetable roll, a regular vegetable roll, 2 fish rolls, and 2 miso soups came out to be $30. read more

The fish are so fresh! Loved the crab salad, soft shell crab, and chirashi bowl. The food quality deserved a four star but the people there are so nice that they should get an extra star rating. Cons: the place is too small if you have a large group. Their main business is take-out. read more

Always amazing sushi. Once we thought they had closed down and ordered from elsewhere for about two months. Well when I realized they were open I secretly ordered from them without telling my husband. After his first bite, he exclaimed that the sushi was really good that night. I confessed it was sumo! There's a definite quality in their sushi you don't get elsewhere. Highly recommend. read more

I ordered sushi from here today and it was full of bones. Sushi is a food that should be made with a lot of care, but this place is just a factory and they don't seem to have any integrity in the preparation of their sushi. I've had food here before and it was ok, but nothing special. There are other better options in the neighborhood and I'll not order food here again. read more

Great takeout sushi. I've never dined in, but live right around the corner and this is my go-to. The rolls are reasonably priced and portions are definitely decent. The staff is professional and food is always ready before I get there. Thank you for being a reasonably priced, consistent restaurant to be there for me when I'm craving sushi! If you're reading this on Grubhub, go ahead and place your order! You won't be disappointed. read more

We had a late dinner at Sumo on a Saturday. Sadly this restaurant did not live up to the high expectations set by fellow Yelpers. Let's lead with the good. The chirashi offers an abundant assortment of thick-cut sashimi at an affordable price. The shrimp tempura, although not traditional in batter or sauce, has a nice "tap-tap" crunchy exterior. Now here's why we ultimately did not enjoy our meal. Sashimi should be served as close to room temperature as possible. While I'm glad Sumo isn't giving anyone food poisoning, the fish shouldn't be the temperature of ice water. If you're not a picky eater, don't take my review too seriously. Sushi purists, however, should stay away. read more
