Sumo Sushi

LOVE IT. This is just what this town needed, Tasty Food!!! and it’s pricing is very reasonable for the area (especially because i am a college student). I had the scallops and new york strip yesterday and i am still thinking about the scallops this morning. They melted in your mouth and the flavor was outstanding! As for dining experience I recommend getting take out for now. Because it is a new place it is a bit crowded and the waiters seem like they have a lot to do. Nevertheless we got our food in pretty good time and the waitress was pleasant. I am about to order take out right now after eating here last night. I am so happy Steubenville has a great place to eat now that isn’t another chain.
***waitress also took care of my gluten free accommodations. So let them know if you have an allergy and they’ll work with you!

Sushi here is too good. I just dislike how it is warm I prefer to not eat warm sushi but either way it is still delicious!

This place is fantastic. The coconut chicken is absolutely delicious. I ordered several sushi rolls and a few nigiri sushi. The tuna was so fresh and pretty much melted in my mouth. The owner is super nice and conversed with us for a while. He informed us that he uses only fresh fish, not frozen… I could definitely tell. All the rolls were good, but if you like raw fish sushi, get the Tiger Roll. So much bang for your buck. No hibachi tables, but all you miss is the show… not quality. The sushi menu isn’t large, but the sushi chef will make anything you want. Even the edamame was plump and easy to eat, and the seaweed salad was very fresh and flavorful. I’ve lived in big cities that had a lot of restaurants to offer, and this place, in my opinion, could rival with any of them… and at a reasonable price! I’m so happy that I no longer have to leave town to get good quality sushi.
The only reason I only gave 4 stars is because of the atmosphere and the bathroom. I understand it is an older building and it just needs updated. But I’m sure with more business they will improve the aesthetics of the place.
I have a very discriminating palate and I am officially impressed! I will be frequenting this place. It’s a credit to Steubenville for sure.

Going by the name, we were expecting hibachi tables, like Benihanna. But it is just a sit down booth and table place. You order your meal or sushi. They cook it on a hibachi in the back of the restaurant, and bring it to you. The pricing is reasonable. I guess since you don’t get a show with dinner. I had the chicken and shrimp hibachi. The shrimp was tough, but edible, the chicken was ok, but I’m pretty sure 1 piece was just warmed, not cooked. The fried rice is not hibachi rice, it is doused with brown sauce, I bet soy, not much flavor. If should be FRIED with egg peas onion. With the ginger salad. It was ok. Hubby had the miso soup, which was just warm, filet and rice. He liked it. They have a bottle of the shrimp sauce on the table, but no steak sauce. We will try them again.
