We have been enjoying Sumo Sumo for 19 years. Old location and current. It is our go to place whenever we are in Sherwood Park area. We love the sushi so much that we drive 2 1/2 hours celebrating special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries.

If you are interested to visit, I would suggest to ask to seat in patio specially in the morning (mid summer-autumn). The scenery is nice and quiet. Only thing that is somewhat bothering is bees hovering around you hehe but not really a big issue. Our server's name is Tyson and the service is surprisingly fast. I guess we just waited for less than 10 mins for all the food from the time we ordered. VIP Lunch Set (4.7/5) - $55 I would say the VIP lunch set is good set of meal for 2. It has set of sushi, assorted tempura, crab and cucumber salad. They have tako nigiri, tamago nigiri, avocado maki, mango maki, dynamite roll (one of the best in this set) . They are really good. The tempura has 2 broccoli, 2 yam, 2 shrimp (the other one thats best on this set as well) and it is not oily and the batter is light. Sorry forgot to take picture on assorted tempura. Rock Shrimp Tempura(5/5) - $19 It has a little bit of kick which compliments its flavor. The shrimp is cooked perfectly. Unagi Fried Rice(4.7/5) - $24 You can taste that it was cooked in a wok. I would suggest that don't shred unagi (you can have option to have it shred or not). Unagi (shredded) Fried Rice and rock shrimp tempura works well with each other. Sakura Slushie (4/5) $7 - I added an extra tapioca pearls for 75c. The mango is a little bit sour but the mango jelly works well with it as well. For presentation I was expecting the color to be more like of red ish color due to the name but its more like a mango slushie.

the food is was great except for my california roll it was 95% crab and it was the size of my head, it took me three bites to finish one piece, our server took very long to get our bill it wasn’t busy at all and once we thought she was getting it she came over and asked if we wanted it…. and then when we went to go tip her the screen changed so we tipped her nothing on accident ( purposely on accident)

Been coming to this Sumo Sumo since last 7+ years now. Just truly amazing how consistent they’ve been with food quality and favour profiles and outstanding service every time. We especially love their Volcano rolls, Chicken Karaage, Veg Tempura, Spicy Tuna Tempura Maki and Spider cone. For 4 people and a nice spread of dishes, we usually see ~$150 tab. Pretty decent in these times I’d say.

An average sushi restaurant. My wife and I had lunch at this place. We ordered sunomono salad, Tokyo Bridge (sushi combo), and Assorted Sashimi. It was ordinary dishes and no special. 1. As I mentioned in previous reviews, I am not a big fan of artificial deco for food. They had a wooden artificial deco on a plate. -1 2. Sashimi platter, honestly guys, octopus and clam are frozen and came in package as frozen. Shape was literally they just plated after the opening package. It's not expensive stuff. Too expensive dish ($28) with frozen food. 3. Sunomono was okay. 4. I hate to see chandelier light in restaurants because they are hard to clean and maintain. During our lunch, we noticed that a chandelier light located above our head filled with dust.. Wonder when they cleaned it.

Its been over 11 years since I have eaten from Sumo Sumo, and my first time to order take away from here. I was greeted by a friendly and very helpfull staff member. Service was very quick as my order was ready in 25 minutes from the time I walked in. The sushi boat was excellant, tasty and fresh. I definetly will not wait so long again to visit.

★★★★★

So tasty and lovely! The patio is a beautiful environment and the restaurant has cute entry doors, bamboo walls & waterfalls etc. The food is delicious and reasonably priced for a sushi bar. I highly recommend any of the boat meals/sharing plates. Staff is great and really helpful. There is plenty of parking available on site, and there is accessible seating in the restaurant (if required). We will definitely be back.

Tried to go for dinner on the weekend and they couldnt even be bothered to seat us. They advised it would 15 minutes and the place was.half empty. The poor hostess had to keep running to the back because they were not allowed to make decisions as.to where people sit. I asked for a table in an area that had several tables but after running to the back again the Hostess advised that we had to wait 15 minutes period. I felt bad for the hostess who was trying to do her best. This is not the first time I have had this rude service so bottom line ....just went elsewhere for sushi. Bottom line I wont back. Amazes me that a business attitude like this exists. Just made me angry and ruined the night. Stay away Parking: lots of free parking

Overall food was good, but a little more expensive than other places offering the same level of food. Area of critique would be the out of date menu on their website. For example, the Aburi Sushi set that is advertised as 8 pieces on their website, is indeed only 6 pieces. Would of given more stars if not for the false advertisement.

Gone down hill. Used to be one of my favorites. The food is still ok.. just the service is bad. Especially in the take out side. Last time they were rude. This time no one even came to take my order... waited at the counter. Rang the service bell. Then just left after 10 minutes of no one...

We ordered Sumo Sumo for our outdoor backyard wedding! We were so impressed from the start with the service, organization and willingness to accommodate dietary and allergy restrictions.

Absolutely insane, the quality and taste of the food I ordered. This is some seriously high quality sushi. I can t wait to go back and try some new items. The service was great too. My order was taken quickly, the server was kind and the food came in a timely manner.

September 23, 2024

This place used to be my go to when I was ordering takeout sushi in Sherwood park. However last night unfortunately it was just absolutely terrible. The spicy rolls were drowned in sauce to the point that they were wet all over- you couldn t even taste what they were supposed to be. Their rolls were falling apart, and to top it all off their Chirashi set is half the size it used to be, as is their deep fried tofu. Today I m sick, and I spent a ridiculous amount of money to be this unhappy. I wouldn t recommend this place anymore. (Which is sad, because I used to recommend it to everyone)

I came here a couple of nights ago with my friends. I was sadly disappointed as I ve been here in the past and it used to be so good. What was disappointing is that the food was not fresh. Chewy salmon sashimi, not the melt-in-your-mouth texture is enough of a reason for me not to return. We also had the Tokyo chicken which was on special but the chicken was also chewy although the flavor was great. The rest of the sushi was alright. The service was great though!

June 23, 2024

Went in on a Saturday at 5:55PM. Got seated after waiting 5 minutes (no issue), then waited for 12 minutes without any service. A couple was seated 3 tables away, and had their server come by almost instantly and take their drink order. Four minutes later that couple had their drinks. We were still shunned. We left after 20 minutes without anyone coming to our table. Atmosphere was alright though, but ideally I prefer some service when I go to a restaurant. I guess maybe I m picky? There was a nice little Italian restaurant nearby though, would recommend them.

June 23, 2024

Good sushi restaurant overall. Its not overly priced, and the boats give enough food to have 2 people full at the end. Only gave 4 stars on food because some of the Maki rolls were huge, took 2-3 bites to finish one piece. I personally prefer single bite maki. My wife and I will definitely come back in the future.

Extremely disappointed experience, Ive been coming here for a while and ordered take out. I ordered based on my dietary restrictions as a vegetarian and they sent a roll with eel in it. I mistakenly ate it not realizing. I called to inform them, they offered a credit which is fine. However the importance of listening to dietary restrictions is extremely important. I will not be returning. If you do end up ordering from here, tripple check that they put in the correct order.

Been coming for years with no complaints. Ordered door dash. Order came without the main dish I ordered. Called to talk to the manager on duty. She said there was nothing more they could do because we ordered the food through door dash. She had an excuse of training in the kitchen as to why the food didn t show up as ordered. She offered for me to come get the dish I ordered. I declined as the reason I ordered door dash in the first place. We already pay premium fees for ordering through door dash. It s sad that she tried to put the blame on door dash when this was clearly a restaurant mistake. I get it, mistakes happen, but the lack of ownership of this mistake is what leaves a sour taste in my mouth. The rest of the food was good, and never any complaints with the quality of food, but the way the situation was handled definitely could use some improvement.

We did not have reservations and was told it would be a 15 minute wait. It turned out to be a 30 minute wait. There were plenty of tables open but I guess they did not have enough staff to run at full capacity. We waited another 20 minutes for the food. The table next to us waited 50 minutes for their food. The sushi was okay/good. They had large sashimi pieces.

December 23, 2023

The lady at the take out was rude. Quite likely thee worst Bento Box we ve ever had. Soggy spring rolls sitting beside salad gross . The teriyaki chicken was charbroiled like umm no just no, not to mention tasteless. The only redeeming thing was the Miso soup was very good. Feel ripped off for the amount of money dropped for people

Ive been going here since it opened. The service has always been good but over the last few years the atmosphere has gone downhill! The food isnt cheap so Id expect the surroundings to be similar but that isnt the case. I dont think theyve renovated the restaurant since it opened which explains the state of the restaurant. The banquettes and chairs need new to be reupholstered and the restaurant needs a refresh in my opinion.

December 23, 2023

My wife and a couple friends and I went here last Saturday and ordered the oysters and a few hours later I was deathly ill for 36 hours, i couldnt leave the bedroom except to go to the bathroom and my friend who ate the oysters as well had the exact same experience and so we ruled out a stomach bug and when I spoke to the manager she said it was because I mixed a lot of alcohol But I only had one beer because I was the designated driver and she was extremely unhelpful and didnt right the situation so I will never be eating here again and if you have a terrible experience like I did dont expect them to right the situation or even apologize. They will offer you a gift card for your food poisoning experience.

I m shocked by the number of negative reviews. We have been going to Sumo Sumo at least once a month for years. Joe s Special is one of my favorite rolls ever. After they closed during the pandemic, we got in the habit of ordering takeout. Some items, like tempura shrimp, don t travel well, but we ve figured out what works for us. I usually like to order takeout at least an hour early, because there are evenings that they were so busy that I had to try multiple times to get the order submitted. I ve often had to wait longer than they estimated, but I don t hold it against them when they re busier than expected. Last time I picked up, I had to wait because the single employee answered the phone. The customer then asked for explanations of multiple rolls and took forever to make a phone order. I wasn t thrilled to have to wait, but it wasn t her fault that the customer didn t make use of their simple online ordering system. They usually have two employees on the takeout counter on Friday nights, but I assume that they are having problems hiring like most other companies in North America recently.

The Mother s Day buffet was $54 per person with automatic 17% gratuity. About 10-12 options that were really disappointing. I had previously dined here on regular menu nights but the low quality of food options and high price of this buffet was so jarring we will not be returning ever.

Coming from BC where good sushi is abundant, I was pleased to find this gem. The prices are a tad over what you d normally pay but it was clear why. The quality of the nigiri and sashimi was outstanding, the cuts were tasty, fresh, and melt-like-butter. The service was very friendly and timely. A bit of a wait between dishes but that s to be expected with how much care went into each one. I ll definitely come again if I find myself in Edmonton in the future.

This is a tough review and more a message to the owners. First thing I notice when I walk up is how there has been nothing re-invested in this building. The pond that looks like it had better days is dilapidated. The bench s are worn out and in dire need of re-clothing. The bathroom has tape on the doors and you guys are still charging a premium price(for good food) on old, worn out and dirty menus. It s a shame on you moment.

Food is delicious. Can be a bit of a wait sometimes. I was there on a Monday for dinner and they had a waiting time of 30 minutes. I was surprised for a Monday night. My group enjoyed a variety of sushi, miso soup, and green onions cakes. The best dish Ive experienced there was the delicious Japanese garden salad. If you like salads you will enjoy this work of art. It was so fresh with many different flavors. I had to just stare at it in awe at first because it was so beautiful. Usually salads are so boring but they put in the effort to make it beautiful. Great experience from start to end. Highly recommend them.

Its been a while since I last ordered from Sumo, its its going to be a long time again. I ordered take-out, and u dont know if it means presentation doesnt matter? I ordered the aloha rolls and spicy salmon tempura maki. I have ordered both in the past and thought I knew what to expect. The aloha rolls were very poorly cut. The rolls were huge in length. Almost the length of my finger. I had to take multiple bites to eat each piece. They were also so spicy, my mouth was on fire. I like spicy rolls, but not when thats all you get. They also tasted very fishy. I know, sushi, its fish. But theyre not supposed to taste overwhelmingly fishy. Maybe the extra spice was to disguise? Definitely not worth the $18.The only thing that gives this review 3 stars is that the spicy salmon tempura maki were good. I should have just gotten two orders of that.

I brought my two children in tonight for a special treat. We had pork gyoza, kimchi, and the Titanic boat. The server was awesome! She was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Our food was amazing, and we ended up ordering additional crab Maki rolls because they were so good. This is my 3rd dining experience at this restaurant, and I will 100% be back again. Thank you so much for the outstanding service!

We decided to try Sumo Sumo for my birthday dinner and was not disappointed. The patio is a very nice environment, was a bit warm initially but the staff was very helpful & accommodating! Everyone was very pleased with their meals - would recommend checking it out and I m sure I ll be back again to try some new menu items!

Wish I could rate a 0. Waited 20 minutes to be greeted while the restaurant was empty. The hostess came to greet us only to tell us to wait a moment and proceeded to go back to the kitchen and we waited another 10 minutes. We left and will not be returning

Sumo Sushi used to be my go-to lunch spot years ago. Prices were good, and so was the food albeit the lunch specials. Sadly all good things must come to an end... When I gazed my eyes on the establishment as the sun was setting, it was the familiar beautiful decor that I love, flowing water and Japanese Zen gardens. That being said the glory days of Japanese restaurants have set like a reverse Uno rising sun that the former is known for. Upon entering the establishment we were made to wait over 10 minutes before getting a table (a common occurrence at this establishment apparently), despite being mostly empty. Our server, Asian fellow, dont recall if he introduced himself, leaning towards no... Proceeded to give us a underwhelming and passive experience. Just another Thursday in a establishment that happens to be closed a lot. In a long list of forgetfulness, it included lemon wedges, tea, and the coup de grâce napkins-utensils. Who has time these days I suppose. The food... Underwhelming and bland, Sushi to big, Miso... A hint of flavor somewhere in the murky concoction. My taste buds not satisfied I found some pleasure at the bottom of a green solution known as Ninja Slush Bubble Tea. One must appreciate a good themed drink, no matter how cliché it may be. Surely when it came down to the cuisine someone once owned an Edo and declared: I Could Do Worse. The Teriyaki sauce and paper wrapped chopsticks would feel all but at home in a food court at a bustling mall bazaar of a metropolitan locale... Based on the service so would I, although I have a feeling the food might be better.

We ordered take-out although weve eaten in the restaurant on prior occasions. My husband loves their sushi and always has the salmon and the eel. The only dish I feel they dont do well is the tempura so we no longer order it. Our order was ready on time and tasted great.

Found this gem earlier this week so I got take out as I was still at work but wanted to try dining in and today was the day. The day was nice n sunny so decided to eat at their patio, which is covered anyways but you can enjoy the sunlight still. Food was great, you can really taste the difference in quality, each ingredient even, nothing but quality. Our meal came with miso soup and salad included and even that, which most places wouldnt pay attention to were fantastic. The dressing for the salad was amazing, not sure what it was but wanted to ask because it was that good yet subtle. Tried a blueberry lemonade, wow, refreshing and delicious. It was a fantastic experience. Id definitely drive 25 mins (from home) to enjoy that again and plan to.

I like Sumo Sumo. Food: I enjoy most of the food off the menu and really havent had any issues. Sometimes I find the price for the item to be a little high compared to other places for the same item, and quality is not always top notch, however that is quite rare. Service: This is where I think the struggle lies the most. Not bad service, but they dont always have the strongest servers, and it is noticeable. Not for a lack of effort, I would rather a server be nice and having a bad day then miserable on a good day. So for that I will still say it is good service. Atmosphere: Always pleasant. They have a great décor and set up and you really cant go wrong. They can accommodate larger tables and I really dont think you can go wrong. Other than just minor things that happen rarely, I still love this place.

I ve been here a many times over the years. Overall, my experiences have always been good and the food has been amazing. Today I had a one off experience, hopefully. The rice was dry, hard and chewy. I did mention it to my server, but nothing seemed to be done about it other than just a basic sorry about it. It wasn t even really a sorry; they came back to my table and told me that it was fresh and that was it. There was nothing done about it, I told him to tell the chefs to make sure they test it and taste it but all I was told one again was that it s fresh and that was it. I don t think my concerns were taken seriously by my server. Especially with the cost of sushi where it s a higher priced food I thought there would be more follow through on it. I ended up scraping most of the rice off of each roll and eating the fish and the contents of the roll as I did not want to waste it. No manager or anything was considered and no one took it further. I don t want this to take away from the restaurant as I have had a good experiences here in the past. Hopefully they will take it more serious in the future when a customer talks about the quality of food.

I will go back as I have never been disappointed with my dining experience.

I am disappointed to have to leave a 1 star review. The food was decent and our server was nice but we had a horrible waiting game. We arrived and hostess told us wed be waiting 15 min or longer when the restaurant was fairly empty. My mom and sister wanted drinks so we asked to sit at the bar. Hostess said we can sit there but we wont get drinks. We sat and the bartender did serve drinks anyway. We were there for 35 minutes before being offered a table. Bartender said shed serve us and itd be faster. It was not fast. We waited 20 minutes for the order to be taken. We were told the miso soup would be fast and it wasnt, it was 15 minutes later that it arrived. We are now looking at 1 hr 10 minutes and no food. After another 15 we got the appy deluxe Platter which was the highlight of the meal as the boat looked cool and the portions were pretty big. We waited another 15 minutes to get our actual meal, and by the time we finished it had been an over 2 hour ordeal. The sashimi I had was decent but not amazing and very pricey. Just not sure why the service was extremely slow when it was not even busy. Really ruined my ability to give a fair review

I placed two orders for pick up, paid separately, and they stuffed it all into one box, so we had to separate it ourselves. The rolls were way smaller than usual, and took way longer than the time that she gave us. Then when it was finally ready, another customer who arrived after us, got their food first. Not very impressed with the customer service.

I feel badly leaving a negative review, but I just threw $150 of food into the garbage because it was inedible. The veggie sushi I got tasted off and I ended up literally vomiting shortly after eating it. I tried again the following day and got sick again, so I am fairly confident that there was something wrong with the roll. The meat dishes my husband got were also a letdown. The meat was all gristle and was inedible. The noodles that came with the meat were quite greasy and made everyone who ate them nauseous. I will say that the salad that came with the Bento box was excellent. I am not sure what happened with everything else we ordered, but it made everyone who ate it sick and we threw almost all of it out. There was also an issue with my order twice and there was no accountability on the part of the restaurant so I just had to reorder what I had requested but did not receive in the first place. I appreciate that the tempura is vegan and that is what drew me to try this place out, but unfortunately I just cannot recommend it to anyone.

I will not be coming back to visit. You know its bad when I take the time (after 2 phone calls from the Bar and Grill) to leave a negative review. My children and were seated very out of the way (despite it not being busy and that I called in first to make sure that it was kid friendly). I was not allowed to put the high chair beside me, and being seated back beside the bar felt very... off putting. I called in to communicate this feeling. Their attempts to explain their reasons for doing so have only left me continuing to feel that they would have preferred that my children and I did not come. I appreciate their reasons but I can promise you, I will not be back - with or without my kids - after all of this. And now Im taking the time to leave this review so that other parents can also stay away. Too bad, because the sushi was very, very good. Kid-friendliness: NOT kid friendly.

Evening order, because of a late arrival from out of town. We picked this place because of the location. I had an assorted sushi combo and mixed Tempura. Sushi rice was lacking, perhaps freshness or moistness(?). Some of the fish was good, and the tuna was very tasty, however some other peices of fish were a bit dry. No Wasabi to marry the fish and rice. The Tempura was okay. Overall I wouldnt pick this place again.
