Sumo Sushi Kingston

I just had the best meal at Sumo Sushi in Kingstown —honestly, it felt like a little hidden gem. The guy running the place? Total sweetheart. He greeted me like I was family, asked what I liked, then walked me through every roll like it was his kid’s science project, how he presses the rice just right, why he picks certain fish over others. Super patient, super kind. You could tell he loves what he does. The spot itself is tiny, but cozy like stepping into someone’s warm kitchen. Low lights, soft music, no rush. And the food? Insane. Fresh, balanced, every bite perfect. My 9 yo got the Samurai rool and the dragon roll that melted in my mouth when I had a piece I got a Korean dish named Hae-dup Bab, it was delicious. If you’re anywhere near Kingston, go before he closes the door. You’ll lea

I’ve been debating trying this spot for over a year since I started at URI, and I wish I hadn’t! The food was delicious and the owner is lovely to talk to. After talking with him for a bit he allowed me to try some tuna belly, which was delicious. Definitely coming back!

Formally a sushi restaurant in Newport for many years I’ve been going to Sumo Sushi here in Kingston for about a year now and the sushi is great. Their rolls are purist and not covered in 10 different things to hide the small amount of fish you actually get at other places. Almost didn’t want to post anything so I could have the whole place to myself but also need to keep them in business to feed my sushi addiction 😂

Best sushi place in Rhode Island. The prices are very cheap and the food is absolutely amazing. Getting the food was absolutely fast and was very good. Small restaurant, but it doesn't get very busy. Parking is very easy to find!

Had fantastic sushi today at Sumo. First time there and was a bit skeptical due to the exterior, but the food was fantastic and the owner was extremely nice as well. Will definitely be back the next time we’re in the area.
