4 Best Japanese Restaurants near Brunswick

“Picked up a pretty big order from Sumo Hibachi & Sushi. Overall verdict: some hits, some mids, but for the price? Not bad at all.

Let’s start with the sushi. Overall, it was kinda mid except for the spicy tuna roll, that one was actually amazing and carried the team. The eel avocado roll was okay, nothing special, just vibing. California roll was… a California roll. Shrimp tempura and volcano sushi were decent, did their job. Vegetable spring rolls were mid, no disrespect but no excitement either.

We also ordered the shrimp hibachi, which was actually solid. Some of the food was really good, some was just there, but honestly for what we paid, it felt worth it.

Pickup experience was a little chaotic. My card randomly decided to stop working, so I ended up paying cash like it was 2007. I asked the lady for extra pink sauce and she said she already gave us some, I meant extra extra. Turns out we had more than enough anyway, so that one’s on me. BUT I do wish I asked for more soy sauce because they only gave us two packets… for a big order. Two soy sauces is just criminal.

I wanted to double-check the order before leaving, but the plastic bag was tied with a knot stronger than my will to argue, and they were busy, so I just grabbed the bags and dipped.

By the time we got back to the Airbnb (about 15 minutes away), the food was cold. It was raining, it’s winter, and physics was not on our side, we still ate it though.

One more thing: no sweet potato roll and no peanut avocado roll. Honestly… just shut the restaurant down at that point 😭 (I’m joking… kinda).

Final thoughts: sushi was hit or miss, hibachi was good, price was fair, and I’d probably come back, but next time I’m asking for extra soy sauce like my life depends on it.“

“Sushi is great! But they have changed their spring rolls, they have Edamame in them now, and they no longer taste good. Very disappointed.“

“I'm know I'm being petty, I am just so frustrated. I ordered thru an app and there was NO sauce options or a place for notes. It's important to note my roommate needs hot sauce for his steak. I called and spoke to someone who identified my order by my name and said no problem, we'll include it. I CALLED and spoke to a PERSON. With that being said there was still NO FLIPPING HOT SAUCE. Now he's irritated. Yay. Thanks Seasons for not caring. Again, I know this is a petty problem but I now have to deal with this.“

“I was nervous because of previous reviews. The food was delicious. Service was outstanding. Kept checking in to make sure everything was ok. The extras they added , chocolates after meal, rum alcohol drink and then the takeaway cake was a wonderful touch. Very impressed with this restaurant and was glad we dined there.“
