This is a very good place to eat, relax, and enjoy great sushi. I got the lunch special for $13 and asked for it to substitute something else for the one shrimp and crab roll due to my allergies. They said it was no problem but still accidentally gave me one crab roll by mistake. But everything else besides that one slip was wonderful and delicious.

How in GODs earth can this place get 4.9 stars! Is there 290 employees posing as people that have ate here? Small place with no real ambience! No unfiltered sake! Normal prices. I ordered the salmon or dragon roll (don't remember it was 2 weeks ago). And some other stuff. Worst part about the place was the amount of fish on the roll. less than a roll from Publix!!!! Probably woul get a 3 star otherwise but I'll be dammed if it's a 4.9 so I lowered it to compensate for the LIES.

This was my first time there. A very good sushi place. This is definitely where the locals go. The sushi was fresh and delicious. I had the Keven, Dragon and Tiger roll. Wow.

Food was good except for the tempura. It didn’t have the traditional light batter. It had a heavier batter that just absorbed the grease. I could only eat a couple of pieces and the oil upset my stomach. Loved the cucumber salad.

Nice clean environment. Staff is very friendly. This was our first time here. We got the Big Bang roll and the Scream roll and a side of fried rice. Everything was fantastic. Would like to see a higher health rating, but it wasn't terrible.
One word: wow! I was very pleased with my experience at Sushi Sumo.After I finished work for the day in Decatur, I wanted to try somewhere local for lunch. This place has been in my bookmarks for a while and wasn't too far from my location, so off I went!They were doing a brisk enough business at around 1 PM. The location is a tiny bit off the beaten path with a couple other nondescript businesses in a small shopping center. Don't be fooled, though -- the food and service was exceptional.Upon entering, I was politely encouraged to sit wherever I'd like. They have a cute outdoor patio but I decided to sit inside as it was chilly out. The interior has a nice, understated, traditionally Japanese restaurant vibe to it. You can see the chef making rolls behind the counter, which is fun.The menu has a large selection of mostly Japanese dishes, but there are a couple of Korean options as well. Embarrassingly, I'm not yet a sushi-eater and I've been desperately missing my usual Korean spot in Huntsville ever since it closed (shout-out to Big Oh's!), and so I couldn't help but decide on their gyoza bowl. This is a bit like a Korean rice bowl, but with gyoza! You can also get the more standard beef, chicken, or veggies. Bowls come with your choice of steamed or fried rice, lettuce, glass noodles, and your protein/entree of choice, along with your sauce(s) of choice, like Korean bbq sauce or spicy mayo.My gyoza bowl was absolutely delicious. The gyoza were crispy, savory, and tender on the inside. The fried rice had the perfect smokiness and texture. The glass noodles were a unique addition for me and I enjoyed their chewy bounciness. Only a small amount of sauce is drizzled on top when the bowl is delivered; the rest is left up to you in a small cup. I like the amount of control this affords you - although I did use all my sauce eventually. The spicy mayo was not particularly spicy (then again, spicy mayo is almost an oxymoron, right? lol), but I did enjoy the nice zing and creaminess it brought.Service was exceptional, too -- very friendly, prompt but not pushy, and attentive. My lunch was, I thought, quite affordable for the portion size and quality, at under $20 for my meal, a Pepsi, and tip. I didn't have any gyoza leftover but there was enough rice and greens left for a small serving to-go if I'd been so inclined. One final last nice feature worth mentioning is that the check can be paid by scanning the QR code on the receipt. This allows for a quicker exit. However, if you're not tech-savvy or don't feel comfy doing so, you can always opt to pay at the counter.Edited/updated before I even posted the final review: brought my parents and husband out to Decatur to see the cranes at Wheeler and I enjoyed this place so much I drug them here to try it only like 2-3 weeks after my first visit. It was just as delightful the second time. My dad, who is traditionally a bit averse to pretty much all varieties of Asian cuisine (idk why - just not much experience with it, I guess) even loved it -- enough that he said he'd return to Decatur just to visit Sushi Sumo again. AMAZINGLY high praise. Honestly, this may just be my favorite Japanese restaurant that I've tried in north Alabama so far. I'm glad work brings me out here enough that I'm sure I'll get to visit again relatively soon.

The best pork belly ramen in Decatur and Madison and huge sushi rolls. This place is a gem and I can’t wait to see their success continue.
