Reviews for Sumo | Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar in Russellville, AK

Why three stars? Only one reason. It wasn't the food quality, that was seriously perfect. I ordered a rare steak and I don't... think I've had a more perfectly rare steak in my life. The fried rice and the noodles were both incredible. Good in theirquality and flavor. The sushi I ordered was very unique and tasty as well. My server was awesome. She had a big smile at alltimes and was able to be funny and sincere. I felt like I never had to wonder where she was at all. My only problem was with ourcook. He didn't do anything wrong or say anything to make us angry or anything like that. He just had no energy. The whole timehe was cooking he made me feel like there were a million places he would rather be. At best I was mildly entertained by thehandful of half-hearted tricks he pulled on the grill. To sum up, everything was perfect except the most important thing at ahabachi style japanese steakhouse. If I was eating at a generic Japanese steakhouse and had sat at a booth and otherwise had thesame experience with the food and service I would have easily given four, maybe five stars. But when the one thing I came toyour restaurant for doesn't deliver, it seriously kills it for me. Once again, awesome food, awesome service and awesomedecorations on the inside too. But the cook is what really makes or breaks the experience for me. Read more

Nice place to go for sushi in Russellville. Food seems to be consistent within the two years I've been going.

The EXPERIENCE was epic! I LOVED EVERYTHING about our visit. It was my husband and I's 1st visit to Russellville after staying... in Eureka Springs for our 5th wedding anniversary. I googled places to eat and the reviews were good, so we chose to try it out.The service was great and the people we sat with at a hibachi table were very nice, so nice, one of the other guest paid foreveryone's meals at our table. Keep up the great work SUMO, the Beards will be back. ???????????? Read more

I went there today with a family of 5 and I was just included. I had no issue with the manager cooking the food for us, he was... entertaining us. No problem with the restaurant but later on getting home I had it for to go. I got the shrimp hibachi includingthe noodles. I bit into their shrimp and I bit something hard then pulled it out of my mouth. I couldn't include picture buttrigger warning it was a FINGERNAIL!! IT WAS SOMEONE'S DISGUSTING FINGERNAIL. I immediately lost my appetite and I don't know ifI'll be returning again. Read more

We waited at the bar for a table but not because they were full, they were short on staff. However, it was not that long a wait... and once seated we had a very enjoyable meal. The staff was very helpful and our chef top- notch! Read more

Came to Sumos for my son?s birthday lunch and his running buddies. The meal was made to order fresh and hot out in front of us.... The hibachi steak was cooked to order along with the shrimp and the chicken dishes. Great place to eat and good lunchentertainment Read more
