9 Best Japanese Restaurants in Ithaca

“You know when there's a wait outside that your in for a treat and this place did not disappoint.

I ordered the general chicken with broccoli and the chicken. Was crispy and sweet. I like that it wasn't breaded like most asian places. I'd definitely would come back here plus this place was recommended by our air b n b host. Thanks guys!“

“Very delicious sushi! 🍣 Would definitely come here again!“

“Went here for my daughters 12th birthday with some extended family so there was 7 of us and the hibachi experience was just amazingly fun here at Sumo! I highly recommend! Thank you staff and cooks!“

“Went there with my dad :)

The country is destroyed, the country is destroyed, the country is destroyed, and the country is destroyed. I am a good person, I am a good person. The price is just right and the price is right. To sum up, it’s hard to be honest, but it’s okay to cheat.“

“Very friendly and quick service with delicious food“

“Wonderful Food- Just Ask That They Be More Realistic About Prep Time.Their sushi is prepared well and the best deal in town. But you may want to double the time they give you for pick up orders. It's possible that they don't want to tell you the realistic time because it will sound too long. We ordered the Sushi for Two (which is easily enough for four-- and we have big appetites!) It was beautifully prepared-- but they told me 25 minutes and it was closer to an hour. Double the time, and then you will be very happy with this place!“

“Got take out chicken teriyaki bento. It came with miso soup with seaweed and tofu, a choice of side (I got the seaweed salad which was great), chicken teriyaki with brocolli and carrot, white rice, and 3 gyoza/dumplings. Although it was take out, it was freshly made and was still delicious.“

“i would actually recomand eating there. 5 stars“

“$11.01 for a buffet is insane. I don’t care if 75% of the food is terrible. That being said, 75% of the food looked terrible. But there were plenty of good options to get your dollars worth. Red chicken on the stick was my favorite, very good. Sushi was ok, ice cream was great, of course. Dumplings were good. And a few nice other dishes.“
