8 Best Japanese Restaurants in Jonesboro

“The food was decent. I had the seaweed salad, tempura veggies, soup, and combination upon noodles. The seaweed salad and tempura veggies were great. The rest of my meal was ok. To be honest I've had better Japanese food. The service was great. Give it a try and let me know what you think.“

“I had to get on here to give credit where credit is due. I went last night feb 28, 2025. The server was EXCELLENT, OUTSTANDING, GENEROUS, etc. all of the words you can think of. That was her. I’m a young mother and so is she and she and her son deserve the world for how she treated my boyfriend and I.
As for the place. Drinks? They were good. And Strong. And Pricey.
Sushi? Fire. I ordered a fried and my boyfriend ordered raw and a cali roll. Suuuper good. Decent priced for the sizes.
Lastly, the hibachi. They got our order sent to a wrong table so we had to wait longer but our waitress compensated us with free wontons. But the HIBACHI?? If I could’ve sent it back I would’ve. I didn’t order my steak rare. It came out mooing even though it was cut into pieces. My boyfriend’s chicken was tough (over done) and we are rice fanatics. Trash. $16 for a steak hibachi isn’t a bad price. But when the smallest portion of raw steak, a few veggies, and a half of a cup of “fried rice” (really just white rice) come to your table, I was shocked. DONTTTT eat the hibachi. But def could go here for a quick sushi date. The place was really cute! They had some Japanese culture decorations up. It was nice and clean. They also had teas and smoothies and slushies! I’d def go back to try a drink and get some good customer service or even a roll. But we prob won’t be going back for the hibachi.“

“We absolutely love this place! The sushi is so super delicious and the Friday evening servers are amazing! We come here every week for our date night!“

“Great example of customer service! Had an incorrect charge on my credit card (which actually turned out to be my error). The staff were so gracious and helpful. Even gave me a gift card!! Not only do I love the food, but I appreciate the kind staff most of all!“

“Great Japanese restaurant. Quick but delicious food and great customer service!“

“LOVEEEEEE THIS PLACE !!! I had to have it right before I was about to have my baby in an hour. Soooo worth every bite ❤️ our favorite restaurant in town ❤️“

“Sumo's is a good hibachi restaurant, probably the better out of the two here in Jonesboro, but I wouldn't go as far as to say it is the best hibachi you are going to have here in Arkansas. It was just an average hibachi experience. I wish the fried rice was seasoned more, but it was still pretty good. My steak was cooked perfectly, and they accommodated my boyfriend who has a shellfish allergy. Overall, just 4 stars. Nothing memorable, but will get the job done if you're craving hibachi.“

“Best Asian Buffett in NEA. The sushi bar really steals the show!“
