Told it would take 20 minutes to have a burrito made with poke + fried chicken… Might want to call them first to see if they have all of their core burrito ingredients ready before you go…

Some of the best sushi I’ve had, especially the salmon nigiri and lion king roll. Such big portions of fish. Not to mention the bowl was also a screaming deal for the amount of food you get and it’s so custom! Also came with some gluten free people and they were very

Hands down best chirashi I've had. I travel the US and get chirashi everywhere. Great portions and fish. A step above.

The service was incredible and our waitress was very kind. On top of the welcoming and calm atmosphere, the food was delicious as well. Good portion sizes and the seafood tasted fresh. We got the salmon teriyaki combo, the caterpillar roll and takoyaki. Everything we got was very flavorful. Definitely recommend coming here!

You haven’t lived until you’ve experienced the sushi burritos from here. Spicy tuna is amazing! Never a bad experience and the burritos are huge and so filling!

Incredible vegan sushi burrito. First time I've ever tried anything like this! Super friendly and great service! Only downfall was the "spicey" edamame, wasn't spicey at all.

The rolls are really good. They don’t hold back on the Salmon, the rolls had plenty and we love it! The prices are also not bad at all (10 bucks per toll).We also tried the salmon burrito and I think it makes for a perfect lunch.

The food was good. Everyone in the party enjoyed what they ordered. The Katsu and Chicken teriyaki aren’t drenched in sauce and that’s good. If you want more sauce in the side just ask and they are happy to oblige.Service was friendly but very slow on this night. We did arrive about 45 minutes before closing and we had a party of 5 which was the largest party there. I would definitely come again but earlier if I had a larger party.

Lion King roll is so good. Also the people are super nice and have a friendly vibe. Lots of smiling and it makes you want to smile back.
First time here in a few years. The tuna and salmon sashimi are an excellent value. Very large pieces. Loved the rainbow roll, shrimp tempura roll, and dragon roll.One thing to look out for is that there is a 3% surcharge for credit card (understandable). One thing that is not OK is that on the receipt where they have preprinted tip amounts for 10% etc., the trip amount includes the tax and the credit card surcharge! It should be pre tax. So look out for that.

Very kind and responsive service. Rolls were nicely made and presented. Nigiri was good, although tamago was somewhat less interesting than some I've had, and thanks to flaming before serving was warm/hot, which is also atypical.

Sumo Roll in Berkeley is my absolute go-to for sushi and never disappoints! The lady at the front is a ray of sunshine, always friendly and welcoming!The gluten-free options and soy sauce are a game-changer. Prices are fair, and the inside is always clean. I've visited multiple times and have never been let down. This time I tried their real crab sushi burrito and it was a burst of freshness and taste.Sumo Roll has earned a top spot on my favorite restaurant list. For outstanding choices, gluten-free options and fantastic energy, this place nail

Excellent sushi. Excellent service. Gluten free knowledge and options. Helen always remembers us and our preferences. We love extra ginger and we never have to ask her for that or the gluten free soy sauce, she just knows. We always feel welcome when we come here. This picture is our leftovers that we are taking home for our son. It was hard not to eat everything ourselves! Delicious!

We were craving sushi and it felt nice to visit the UC Berkeley area again. As we went on a Thursday, there was nobody else here. Parking was a bit tricky as with anywhere in Berkeley. We got the salmon set which took a bit of time to prepare but it was pretty good with several different salmon dishes (salmon sashimi, salmon nigiri, salmon maki, pan fried salmon belly over fried onigiri, salad, and miso)I liked the salmon belly the most due to the melt in your mouth tenderness which fit really well with the crispy onigiri. The salmon nigiri also had delicious fatty pieces. The rest of it was more normal slices. With all the extra omega-3, I'm super charged to think about the next place to eat!We appreciated the nice and quick service when checking on us. Overall a nice date spot.
