What Marian S doesn't like about Sumo Sushi:
Cold food, no flavor, bottled sauces. Really bad, and it's a shame as the venue is charming, and the service very pleasant. These were three teriyaki dinners, beef, chicken and salmon, and we were all unhappy. Maybe their sushi is better. View all feedback. What Torrey O'Conner likes about Sumo Sushi:
This place is the best sushi restaurant in Albany Ca... Where do I start? Let's start with the owner Tommy, this guy is amazing. The sushi is the best sushi I had in a very long time. Every time I'm in Northern Cal for work, this is the place where I'll be all the time. Thanks to everyone who works for making this place such a gem. View all feedback.

Great fresh sushi ! Excellent, friendly service. Great place for celebrations and Chef always accommodates our no tobiko requests on all of our orders.

Sumo Sushi in Albany, California has received mixed reviews from customers. Some diners were disappointed by the quality of the food, with complaints of cold dishes and lack of flavor. One reviewer mentioned that the teriyaki dinners they ordered were not satisfying, but speculated that the sushi might be better. On the other hand, many guests enjoyed the sushi selection, praising the freshness and taste of the dishes. The service at Sumo Sushi was also a point of contention, with some customers feeling neglected by the staff while others found the service to be prompt and attentive. Overall, the restaurant seems to have a diverse menu with reasonable prices and a cozy atmosphere, making it a potentially worthwhile dining option for both sushi enthusiasts and those looking for a casual meal.

Very cheap and rollers were bigger than expected. I'd come back here and the Donburi and Katsu were quite big.

I had only the Oldashi Tofu, baked mussels and a role, but 2/3 we are very tasty for the price. I don't think the agedashi tofu was close.

The Sushi is better here than down the street, soft, fresh ingredients. Only one problem, I didn't order more.

Great sushi with reasonable prices.Not a large place and usually only 1 sushi chef ,so if busy,expect your order to take a bit time. But overall still worth it.

Been going here many times but this the time the fish's were very smelly it seems that they are a little spoiled and that was my birthday gift to.
