Outside of the minimal carpet smell issue, this impromptu visit to Sumo is exactly what it needs to be! Featuring my order of 'Shrimp Shumai' and a 'Kai' vodka seltzer, lychee flavored! My server Janyce was and is amazing, gaining compliments from the other bar guests about their drink orders. I cannot wait to visit again soon, don't count the days but I'll be back ;) <3
we did the hibachi and Nanang was our chef and he was amazing! he brought a great atmosphere and was very interactive. would highly recommend coming to Sumo!!
Chef ABE was the best, food was awesome. We will be back. Chef ABE had a lot of tricks and he was very entertaining. Better then Beni Hana.
Absolutely loved this place. Visiting family here in Massachusetts, coming from the other coast and this place was perfect. The food was great, husband got his spicy, I got to try something new, even the picky eater of the group was happy and our server Yasmine was literally the best, i dont have enough nice words to say about her, she was patient, fun, just overall an amazing person and worker. 10 out of 10 would recommend anytime to anyone. This place made the trip so fun.
Gahndi is great at hibachi
Our recent hibachi experience was nothing short of outstanding, thanks to an incredibly talented chef, Abe, who delivered both an unforgettable show and a mouth-watering meal. From the moment we sat down, the energy was vibrant, and our chef’s friendly personality immediately set the tone for a fantastic night. Our son especially enjoyed the show!
The chef’s performance was skillful and entertaining, captivating everyone at our table. Each trick—from the iconic onion volcano to the precise egg toss—was executed perfectly, blending impressive techniques with humor and enthusiasm. It was clear that our chef not only knew his craft but genuinely enjoyed sharing it with his guests.
As for the food, every bite was a testament to quality and attention to detail. The vegetables were crisp and flavorful, the steak and chicken were cooked to perfection, and each course was seasoned just right. Even the fried rice was a standout, rich with flavor and cooked with a perfect balance of texture.
Overall, this hibachi experience was exceptional due to our chef’s expertise, the showmanship, and the top-tier quality of the meal. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for both great food and an engaging dining experience. Ask for Abe!!

Warm atmosphere and great service. Food was not on the exquisite end, but the price and portion was amazing, and I enjoyed. It is a nice stop to have lunch before visiting Holyoke mall.

I would leave ZERO stars if I could! I will NEVER come here again! The service was horrid, our table was dirty, and our waiter took so long to take our food order, 20 minutes, that I had to get up and go look for him! Then he took our order, our appetizer order (and supposedly put it in) he took our dinner order and our salads that came with the order were brought out within 5-10 minutes. We waited another hour for our dinner came to come out. We didn’t see our waiter for the entire hour! Other waitstaff delivered our dinner and our appetizers NEVER came out when our dishes. We asked about it, and they never even made them (we sat across from the sushi bar where the salad appetizers were made) the Manager went over behind the bar and asked the sushi chefs to make a sashimi salad, and an avacado crabmeat salad. The avacado was never cut, just a huge half of avacado under all the crabmeat. No knives in the silverware napkins either. Then while eating the sashimi salad, my friend said “Oh my God!” and fished something out of her mouth, she had a piece of broken GLASS in her sashimi salad that she almost swallowed! She pulled it out of her mouth and then I became LIVID! I asked for the manager, and she acted like she had no idea where it would’ve come from while she was looking at it dumbfounded as if it wasn’t from the restaurant. She said no glass is used in the sushi bar, so she went in the back kitchen to look. No explanation from the manager as to where it came from, and offered to remove the appetizers from our bill, and offered to remake my friends sashimi salad. The manager stood by and watched the sushi chef make her sashimi salad. My friend took a couple bites but was too afraid to eat it from the glass in the previous salad. The server came over AFTER everything happened and our dinner was delivered and apologized to us for the glass, and gave us a measly 15% off our bill. Then the WORST part, I got FOOD POISONING after I left! I was vomiting and had diarrhea from 9:30pm-3:30am! I am disgusted with how unclean the bathroom is there, and that the sushi chef not only was careless preparing the sashimi and left glass in it, but the OTHER sushi chef clearly didn’t wash his hands after using the restroom and I suffered from food poisoning because of it. (I watched who made our crab and sashimi salads, and there were two different men who put up our plated dishes to be served to our table. I am NEVER GOING BACK THERE, and will tell my friends and family to never go there as well. Dirty and unkempt dining room and tables, dirty bathrooms with 2 broken toilets filled with excrement, an aloof and unconcerned manager, broken GLASS in our food, and FOOD POISONING! Unacceptable for ANY restaurant regardless of its just a mall restaurant or not!
