The food was good, but in the women’s restroom, as I was drying my hands after washing, an employee comes out of the stall and looks directly at me and leaves. Doesn’t wash her hands. Gross in general.
I go back to my party and notice that the same employee was the one setting up and prepping the tables. I don’t really want unwashed-after-using-the-bathroom hands touching my napkins, soy sauce, plates and table.
Also, I think there is a law that food employees have...read full review
Been twice now. Food is average, nothing spectacular. You order on your phone but wait times our outrageous and sometimes you never get what you ordered. I’ve been twice and both times I’ve waited for over an hour for 1 complete order to come, just 4-5 items, nothing crazy. First time I didn’t say anything (my whole order never came), but the second time was told they are backed up in the kitchen. If this is the problem then the owner needs to cut out the phone ordering,...read full review
We went to visit Sumo Japanese restaurant for the first time after church service. The food and the service were great. I highly recommend this restaurant and the robots service was a great touch.

Sumo Japanese Restaurant in Tacoma is a well-loved all-you-can-eat sushi spot that provides a fun dining experience enhanced by a unique sushi robot. The restaurant offers high-quality and flavorful dishes like salmon, noodles, teriyaki, katsu, and short ribs. A 90-minute time limit applies, although it is not clearly stated on the website or when customers are seated. During busy times, the limit is politely enforced, but some customers have reported delays in receiving their orders.
Diners can place orders using a tablet at their table, with a limit of 15 items every 15 minutes. Food is delivered by the robot or a waitperson, and while there may be a wait for a table, service is generally quick once seated. However, it can be challenging to get the attention of servers at times. The salad bar, sushi, and overall service are frequently praised. Children are welcome and enjoy watching the robot servers. The self-serve bar is stocked with sauces, toppings, soups, side dishes, and grilled meat. A dessert bar features build-your-own boba tea and other treats.
Customers have noted that the menu changes regularly, offering a great variety of dishes. Some reviews highlight the friendly staff and spacious parking. The restaurant has updated its menu structure with Silver and Gold options for diners. The Silver tier, priced at $17.95 for lunch, offers a range of delicious choices like calamari, chicken karaage, chicken katsu don, and shrimp tempura rolls. The calamari is particularly well-received for its seasoning and crispiness.
Overall, Sumo Japanese Restaurant is an affordable and enjoyable place for those craving Asian food, including sushi, noodles, and more, making it a worthwhile dining experience for many.
