★★★☆☆ 3.0 Patty · Oct 2025

The sushi was okay, it’s not the bestest or greatest sushi I’ve had but it fulfilled my sushi craving enough. I went by myself, around lunch time but it wasn’t busy. The only thing that threw me off was that my waitress really never checked in on me. She dropped off water, took my order, dropped off the sushi and then dropped off the check. Never once came to fill my clearly empty water during my meal, I didn’t even see her again until the check was dropped off and that’s when I asked for a refill of water. Remember.. it wasn’t crazy busy. There was like 10 people in the restaurant, and not all tables were hers. So even though I wanted more rolls, I took the check and left. (I know a lot of people are like sweet, love it when waiters don’t bother me, there’s a difference of bothering and g

My parents have been coming here for years and know the owners and staff very well. The sushi is good and very well made. I personally like the spicy salmon or spicy tuna rolls. This time I had the Yakisoba noodles. I really enjoyed it good flavor and texture. Would recommend for anyone who needs a good sushi fix.

It’s only right this gem be tucked away like it is. Sumo Japanese Kitchen doesn’t look like much from the outside. Once inside, you’re quickly comforted by the decor, cozy feel and Okinawan influence plastered throughout. I had the Bibimbap Rice Bowl which I enjoyed. Then I topped it off with one Summer Roll. I was very pleased. I also had the Yuzu tea. Pleasantly sweet. Great, friendly service. I’ll have to come back . Thanks guys 🙌🏾

★★★★★ 5.0 Isaac Fisher · Jun 2025

Before you click away a sushi place in South Dakota this is one of my top 5 sushi places I’ve been and I’m not from up here. I got the Unagi nigiri and teriyaki chicken. The teriyaki chicken was nice and perfectly tender. The sauce for the Unagi was a little tart but consistency of that eel was so good it made totally forget the sauce. The food is so good totally recommend. 8.9/10
