Hungry Sumo Hibachi House

Some of the best hibachi that I have had in Knoxville!! Bubble tea is also delicious. They give a large portion of food which is also great. The couple that run the restaurant are so sweet. Small family-owned vibes. My partner also got the katsu curry and he loved it. We highly recommend!!

The food here is superior to almost every other similar restaurant in knoxville. Up there with Asian Kitchen for me. Vegetables are fresh and the meat is cooked accordingly. It's also a small business that I'd rather support than any franchise. The people who work here are so nice. They work as hard and fast as they can to get your food to you. They are super busy during school because they are on campus and there isn't much parking, I also wish they were open later. It's a sacrifice we are willing to make and it's close to the house. Looking forward to trying the ramen. I personally prefer the Philly egg rolls over the crab wontons. Teriyaki dishes are perfect. I want a hungry sumo T-shirt!

I had Chicken Teriyaki via takeout. The food was delicious! I also had spring rolls, and they had good flavor! It was a great surprise since spring rolls are usually bland and oily from most places.

Staff was pleasant when picking up, and the 15-20 min wait was accurate. I appreciated the service and plan to try more of the menu!

Food tasted good but kept pulling hair out… Not 1 or 2 pieces but over 10. The sriracha also doesn’t taste like typical sriracha which was disappointing. This would have been a much higher rating if it didn’t require coughing up a hairball after. Edited to add: they called my wife wanting proof it was in the food and that the hair we found wasn’t theirs. Here is video proof per request. Would also like to add we are at children’s hospital with my child so we can’t just leave her here to come back to be called liars.

The nicest Malaysian couple owns this hidden gem. It's a little underwhelming to look at, but the food is banging.

Hibachi: Yes, please ? ?. Had the Chicken and Steak Teriyaki with a side of Scallops. Steak was seasoned and cooked medium well. Chicken was tender and juicy. Scallops were tender and not overcooked.

Dumplings: Chicken Dumplings, aka pot-stickers, aka goyza, were fried crispy but tender and tasty on the inside.

There is seating to eat in, but hardly no parking. What parking there is is paid, restricted, or straight-up confusing.

Pros: Food, owners, prices

Cons: Parking. Knoxville has the worst parking because everyone is always charging something.

Vegetarian options: They offer tofu and vegetable dishes.

Dietary restrictions: Everything is cooked on the same grill so be aware.

Parking: There are limited time spots, a few free spots, and a whole lot of paid parking. Overall, parking is a hassle. Most people take the food to go.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp at the end of the sidewalk.

The steak teriyaki was incredible!

More people should know about this place. Much better than your typical hibachi

My husband and I went here on our 10 year wedding anniversary and we LOVED it. The food is absolutely delicious and served HOT! The staff are positively kind and sweet!
Our meals were full of flavor and our mouths were watering before the first bite! We can’t wait to be back! XOXO

The food was very good, amongst the best hibachi in Knoxville in my opinion. The people were fast and friendly and the food was good portions. I felt like it was a bit on the pricier side, but worth it. Definitely will be coming back here whenever I’m craving hibachi
