🍣 Tacoma Sumo Japanese Restaurant | All-You-Can-Eat Sushi Review

We tried this all-you-can-eat sushi spot in Tacoma! 💰 Lunch: $19.99 per person | Dinner: $29.99 per person The menu is pretty extensive — everything except the green-framed items on the fourth image is available for lunch. 📍 Sumo Japanese Restaurant (AYCE) 2919 S 38th St Suite B, Tacoma, WA 98409 We visited on a Friday night — no reservation, so we waited about 35 minutes (not even peak dining time!). Got seated at 7:45 PM 🕢. You order via QR code 📱. They also have a fruit and salad bar 🍉🥗. The food: Curry Beef Rice 🍛: Surprisingly good! Fragrant curry and tender medium-well beef. Poke Don 🍚: The rice was overly sour, and the sashimi on top was just okay. Fried Chicken 🍗: Average — not the thick, juicy kind you get at ramen shops. Sumo Roll 🍣: Solid choice! Less rice, more filling — would recommend. The above dishes came out relatively quickly. ⚡ But then… We waited almost an hour for the sushi and sashimi — and only got them after asking the server to check 🥲 By then, we were pretty frustrated but determined to try everything since we’d already waited. On the bright side: The salmon sashimi was fresh 🐟 White tuna had a nice QQ texture with a slightly creamy aftertaste — interesting! Unagi (eel) was good but a bit heavy on the sauce. 🤖 They use robot servers here — cute, but during busy times the human staff still had to step in. Overall: The restaurant is clean, nicely decorated, and has a wide menu. They also offer a military discount 👏🗓️ Might be worth a try if you’re curious — but we probably won’t be back anytime soon. This meal took almost 3 hours… and even my partner was side-eyeing me by the end 😅 #Sushi #Tacoma #SeattleFood #AYCE #JapaneseFood #FoodReview
