Sumo by Nambara

This place is pretty nice. It has plenty of hibachi grills. Was my first time there back in March and it was packed. We waited for over an hour for a so so chef that hardly talked to us. He did a good job on the grill. I just don't think I'd go here again because of the long wait. They told us 20 minutes so we stayed and waited, never again will I wait that long.

This was my first visit to any Japanese restaurant and Sumo by Nambara gave me a great experience and taste of authentic food. The entrance lobby is spacious and the service was superb. The staff was attentive and courteous. The interior is bit crammed but the seating was comfortable. The person who attended us and served food also cooked it right in front of us by entertaining with fire tricks. This was a memorable experience.

I just love Sumo! I love seeing the reactions my kids have to the hibachi chefs. I love the fun those chefs provide. They make it a real memorable experience. I'll warn people with a large family that it can be real expensive, but to me it's worth it. The food is also really good. The chefs will flavor it more to your liking if you ask. They have a very basic menu but I find that's all you need. The vegetables are delicious and oh my gosh the rice is amazing. I also like their salad that comes with it. Go, you'll enjoy it!

I have been a patron of Sumo for a few years. The wait and lack of communication by the hostess to the party’s waiting seems to be a repeat issue. Normally this leads to the customer becoming upset and ends with both the employee and customers in a frustrated position. I recommend removing the “accepts reservations” from your Google page to alleviate the expectation by customers. Lastly, I would love to see a level of accommodation for customers with Special Needs. Food was delicious (per usual) and the service was amazing!

Fun place for supper. Fresh cooked to my specific desires. Entertaining at the same time.
