A family favourite, we always go to eat there after my son is finish with his swimming lessons down at YMCA across from Eau Claire. Japanese food is always a healthier alternative and it’s delicious!
We wanted Japanese food for lunch but all other Japanese restaurants in downtown was closed for lunch on Saturday. We went in to Sumo Lounge since it was the only restaurant opened. We went in with low expectation because it is part of eau claire mall and it doesn't look very attractive from the outside of the restaurant. When we went inside, the restaurant was actually quite nice. We ordered some yam tempura and couple of rolls. The food wasn't amazing but it was much better than expected. Their green tea was really good.
Great Sushi Experience!. I went here with my friend and our sons (with Groupon) and we had an awesome night out. All the food was delicious and we had great service too. Our favourite wwas the BBQ eel rolls. So delicious!
Usually very good. We really like this place the food is always good. The service is usually great too but this last time it wasn't as good. Our server was very flaky and we often had to flag her down.
Great improvement. The sushi is very nicely done. The special rolls are also beautifully plated. Convenient location with underground parkade. The restaurant is now much better than years ago.
Had a wonderful time!. Me and my husband decided to take a nice walk around Princes Island Park. Afterwards we were starving so we decided to try the sushi place thats right beside the park. We ordered the sushi and sashimi combination and it was delicious! the service was fast and friendly. Over-all a very nice experience. Sumo might just be added to our routine.
Groupon is a fantastic deal!. My boyfriend and I came to Sumo Lounge for an early dinner prior to catching a movie and used our $40 valued Groupon. The server was very nice and the food was tasty and on the table fairly quickly. We had no issues using the Groupon (reservation is recommended, tell them you have a Groupon.) $40 is enough to cover the entire meal if you do not include alcoholic beverages. After a couple of bottles of sake and a beer, with tip, we probably paid and additional $30. Not bad to get great sushi for two with lots to drink under $60. Highly recommend.
Wonderful Little Place. I'm not sure where all of these poor service comments are coming from, because we love all the servers at Sumo.
Having visited the restaurant on several occasions, both with a Groupon and without, we love it.
Location-awesome
Service-friendly and efficient
Food- have yet to order anything that's not delicious
Will be back soon =)
I've eaten here a lot.. I started going to Sumo when it first opened with the floating sushi train. At even the most respected sushi restaurant you can order something that tastes less than fresh. At Sumo I've never had anything truly offensive, but I've often regretted ordering something. The miso soup is good, tempura is good, sushi rice consistency is good, but not great. Its a step below Wa's or Momo's or Haru. The service is minimalistic but effective.
Not sure what all the negative reviews are about. We've been a few times, usually with a groupon, never been asked upfront how we're paying. The place was super busy tonight, hostess suggested we sit at the sushi bar which was fine with us. Service was maybe a bit slower than average but otherwise friendly and attentive. Good selection of rolls, tuna tataki and shrimp tempura are always fantastic. Great dinner spot before heading to a movie at Eau Claire theatres.
