Sumo Japanese Steakhouse

We had a great time at this Hibachi Grill. We had reservations for 6:30 but couldn't make them. We called and they were gracious to move us up to 7:15. We had Tommy as our grill master and he was such a great entertainer. He kept both tweens as well as adults laughing and entertained. The food was priced as I would have expected with the entertainment factor. The steak was tender, fried rice delicious, and vegetables very good. The cucumber martini was yummy as well with a spiced rim. Try a slow-mo pic during the fire display at the beginning. Greatness.

I went to Sumo about a week ago and I have to say, I was highly impressed. I went with my girlfriend and her brother and we're all relatively young (14, 20, and 22). I'm accustomed to lesser service because of this, but at Sumo this was not the case. Our server was very polite and attentive and our chef, Matt, was PHENOMENAL. He was very skilled and funny. I've been to plenty of Japanese steakhouses and seen the same performances over and over and Matt gave a fresh take on old tricks while making genuine conversation with us. I can't tell you how refreshing it was to have a chef that can ACTUALLY talk to you. The food was fantastic, we ordered a sushi roll that was made perfectly and the food from the grill, including the fried rice, was some of the best I've had. Five stars without a doubt.

We had dinner at sumo steakhouse last night and had a great time the food was great and our cook was very entertaining we plan to go back for my sons birthday.

The best time ever, will be back very soon.

I enjoyed my experience upon arrival and all the way through dinner. I loved the filet and scallops and the sushi was top notch. Great show and service.

We tend to frequently eat at Hibachi grills for special occasions. (Mainly when in Houston since we had not been impressed with the ones we have eaten at in SA).
So we know who has the best soup, salad, rice etc).
We actually gave Sumo another chance after we starving and disgruntled, gave up waiting for a table on a busy Sat night ( now we know to make a reservation). (We weren't impressed when it was Benni Hana's - so we never choose to come to Sumo).

We came on Easter Sunday 2016 and we were pleasantly surprised! We were most impressed with the quality of the regular Hibachi steak and shrimp. The hot Tazo green tea was wonderful too. Actually the steak's flavor and tenderness is the best we've had at a Hibachi restaurant. Everything else was good too although the best soup and salad honor remains in Houston. We will definitely come back for special occasions in the near future.

Benihana's recently left San Antonio, but Sumo San Antonio Steakhouse and Sushi Bar has stepped up in a big way. The same management and staff are providing awesome shows and fresh food made to order. The menu is a little reminiscent of the previous establishment (for previous patrons), but some new twists have been added. The wine and sake list is a definite upgrade but still affordable......unless you really want some of the nice stuff (i.e. Darioush, Cakebread). The general manager is very accommodating and will help with any special requests for events, etc. Check this place out...you wont regret it!

Great food, great experience. Will be back! Thanks!

What a fantastic night! We had "Tommy" aka Manuel as our chef and he was incredible!!!! The food was delicious, the drinks strong and the "show" didn't stop! What a great place for a special occasion.

The food here was absolutely delicious! We came here on a Wednesday night and the show commenced. I ordered the scallops hibachi dish. Our chef was very nice and friendly. He even offered us to try certain sauces with certain foods. Let us try this spicy red sauce and then mixed it in with some of our rice. I loved that he was giving us other options other than what was already at our table. Speaking of which, that yum yum sauce was out of this world delicious. I seriously drowned most of my food in it, that and the spicy sauce he let us try. My food was all cooked perfectly and seasoned well, even without all the sauce.

I Really Love this place, the food is always great and the show, even when done by a new chef is so much fun. BUT I've noticed people coming and not having fun. I realized it's not the restaurant it's the customer. like this one I recently saw at the table next to ours. This Person ordered s sushi roll, Custom made. and when it arrived she didn't like what she ordered. So the chef made her another one based on her order(CUSTOM), different than the first. she still didn't like it. SO the chef made her a third trying to make her happy with her custom ordered sushi rolls. still even the third roll made t order she complained about. I realized she was just trying to get a freebee... Now if these were rolls the chef made from the menu or one of the Chef's Specials and it tasted bad then yes they should remake it right and offer a discount .

First time, excelent experience! The wait was long, but definitely worth it. Recomendation, ask for Chef Big D (Diaz) execellent, if not perfect on flavor and show. Will return soon...

always good vibes and good food I have been for the hibachi grill and have been to just eat sushi and drink at the bar both sides of the table are delicious can't wait to go back for more ! Sushi highly reccommmend

Ask for Tommy to be your chef! He was so entertaining and the food was so yummy!

Beautiful place love the way the chiefs cook in front of you best dinner ever I hope I can go back and have such good food I very much recommend this restaurant I mostly love all the flames and all the sushi and rice all of there food was delicious I am sure I am gonna go there at least twice a week that's how good it is and again I very much recommend this beautiful restaurant!:D

Christmas dinner with the family after a long hectic last couple of days. It was so nice to be able to go there and have such great service by our waiter Homer, and our chef Vader. I'm so glad you're open tonight and that we were able to get a reservation. The menu was somewhat limited, but I appreciated that because I'm sure it made things run much quicker. We had a few little ones the table and the chef and the server did a great job in keeping the little one entertained and interacting with the whole table. Great job and the food was awesome and the service was even better.

Very fun atmosphere. Great food, service was excellent. We enjoyed the live cooking. We have our New Years eve dinner there. Look forward to many more.

Love it food was great. Very entertaining and service was wonderful .

I sat in the bar area and was promptly greeted by the bartender at my table. She made a few recommendations for sushi, and she makes one of the best dirty martinis I have ever had. Ask for Julissa, she knows her stuff.

My family and I enjoyed our experience here. The chef was very entertaining and the food was delicious. They did, however, seem to have changed their salad a little - not as good as it used to be - and their prices habe gone up. We used a restaurant.com gift certificate, and even so our bill was well over $200 for teriyaki chicken. I would recommend to this restaurant to add higher denominations of certificates available on restaurant.com. for example, allow customers to buy $50 or $100 gift certificates.
