Sumo Sushi - Lakeland

I have only visited Sumo Sushi once before about 7 or 8 years ago and had a bad experience at the time. I gave the restaurant another try this evening for...

Updated to add that they've closed, and we're low key heartbroken. Adding the rest of this just so there will be enough characters to be able to post.

Absolutely the best sushi around! We’re more than happy to drive past the sushi spots in Brandon and Tampa just to come here. The General and his team are incredibly friendly, and the food is outstanding! I really appreciate the electronic ordering menu, which lets you see exactly what you're ordering. Plus, you can always grab a sample from the conveyor belt. This place has completely converted me into a sushi lover. I’ve tried other places, but none of them even come close.

I was visiting family from out of town, and my aunt and a mutual friend wanted to grab some sushi. I tried the rainbow roll and a California roll. While they were similar in style and flavor, both were expertly prepared and delicious. We also ordered a chef's choice platter to share, which included a variety of sushi pieces, such as shrimp and three different types of tuna. The prices were surprisingly reasonable considering the quality of the sushi. Our server was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. If you enjoy sushi or seafood in general, I highly recommend giving this place a try. It's definitely worth it!

As a family of vegetarians, we absolutely love this place! The staff is always friendly and relaxed, the vegetables in the sushi are always fresh and vibrant, and we can't overlook the fantastic selection of Japanese beer and sake!
