Sumo Sushi & Grill AYCE - Kelso: Reviews & Ratings

I really like this restaurant! Wait staff are figuring out their routine as the restaurant JUST opened a week ago. But everyone was friendly, and helpful. Food was delicious. Definitely recommend the beef udon. I love the small portions so you can literally try everything on the menu included in 1 price! Price is good. We paid the gold option (whole menu) $32 a person for all you can eat, well made food. I would definitely go here, have a bunch of things off the menu, and get rolled out of the restaurant feeling satisfied. Other than drinks, that $32 gets you ANYTHING off the menu and the classic buffet bar. The buffet bar, surprised me. It was all cooked well, and kept well at the counter. There wasn't the feeling of "this was sitting under a heat lamp for 3 hours" which really surprised me and my group.

So happy this restaurant went in. Went with my husband who LOVES sushi (Like nigiri not just California rolls haha) and he was excited hed be able to order that type of stuff for him and the kids and I could order and hit the buffet for non sushi and basic rolls. The atmosphere is beautiful they did a great job making over the restaurant. The server and hosts we so friendly and checked on us regularly and the kids LOVED the delivery robot. They liked the beef and noodles and baked potatoes and cheesy corn and rice obviously. Plenty of basics for kiddos. I enjoyed the takoyaki, coconut shrimp, shumai, and lots of items from the buffet. My husband went to town on the nigiri and to made to order rolls. My only critique- the desserts we pretty but VERY bland. We went with the ice cream after trying bites of the others. The corn on the stick was VERY hot which I was not expecting just warning for that haha. And lastly, the teas were amazing and they had bobas and lychee for them byt only these tiny cups, might have just been out of normal ones? That was really it. Everything else it was great we really enjoyed our selves and my husband will definitely be a regular with his sushi loving buddies. ***Families: If you have picky eater kids, this may not be worth it as everyone has to eat at the same price level. So if you are going there as an adult who intends to get down on the premium made to order items you'll be wasting money with kids there. Just a heads up. Hope this was helpful!! We will definitely be back, so happy we gave it a shot!

This place is great! Great food and so fresh and tasty! The service was great and the robots were very cool. All you can eat and great simple ordering from your phone. Loads of selection at the buffet and the sushi rolls. Great appetizers and desserts all included in one simple price! The staff were all super friendly and did a great job!

As an Asian myself, I’ve had a ton of sushi and authentic Asian food in my years. I can honestly say this place had really good food! I got the gold tier which lets you get anything from the kitchen and it was totally worth it. All my food was quickly delivered and was hot. Fresh fish made a big difference and it was super good to see how many options of food I could have. My only complaint is that my stomach can’t fit enough.

This is definitely the best sushi AYCE in town like fr, the exterior and interior designs are super beautiful and authentic Asian looking, but here's the thing. The automatic 12% service fees should be in the system, because tipping is an options and it should be base only on good servicing, nobody wanted to tip after seeing that automatic 12%. But the foods and everything is top notch! Definitely coming back!

Really good fresh sushi buffet (you get to order what you want off their menu). Its not the best sushi Ive ever had but it pretty good. They have a standard buffet that's added on. They have a 12% added tip to every bill which they dont state, double check the fine print!

We have been here 3 times now and Everything has been delicious. Tonight we had dinner for the first time with family. We tried so many great foods, I loved the yellowtail jalapeño tuna(raw) and the walla walla rolls. Amongst other things definitely recommend. Something for everyone.

Hands down a great place. We didn't know it was a buffet. Everything's really quick, servers are super nice. Their is robots that bring you food, and servers in between. I will say their hot tea is kinda watered down , needs to be stronger.But that's one small thing. Great place to go!
