Decent sushi in a place you might not be expecting any sushi at all.
I'll not lie, it wasn't the best sushi in the world. There certainly wasn't anything wrong with it, but as sushi goes it was OK. Granted we had this as takeaway instead of eating at the restaurant, potentially that might have made the hot dishes better. But overall, nothing you couldn't put together at home with supermarket ingredients and for considerably cheaper too.
Salmon sashimi, 6/10: it was reasonably fresh, but nothing special, and found a few bones that hadn't been prepped completely. The 'side salad' of just a tomato slice seemed completely at odds with the dish. Sushi mixed platter, 6/10: again, reasonably fresh but fairly basic. Miso soup, 5/10: very basic, not a great deal of flavour. Salt and pepper chicken wings, 8/10: These were actually quite nice, good crunch even after steaming up a take away box. Would order these again. Eel on rice, 7/10: Eel was tender, sauce was sweet and savoury and overall prepared well.
The staff were friendly and helpful when I came in to order, and the food was prepared pretty quickly. Special mention to say they very kindly gave me chopsticks for free after I realised too late they needed to be added to the bill (50p per pair FYI) and they have a £6 card minimum so I was a bit...
Read moreOur usual sushi restaurant was closed due to a technical issue so we thought we would give Sumo a try. On entering the restaurant I asked for a table for 2, only to be met with a very uninterested waitress who drew a look. Was shown to the table then handed menus, well they were actually just put on the table and she walked away. Watched other people coming in and all of them were either initially ignored or met with the same look. When our order was delivered I asked what type of sauce we were given as I could only easily recognise the sweet chilli.........the response " I don't know" and walked away. Whilst the starter was very tasty I couldn't say the same for the sushi boat, totally bland and tasteless. What's more you had to take what the chef decided, no choice given unless you wanted to pay more and for what we were given I'm glad I didn't pay more. I ended up having to order extra drinks as very dry from the amount of soy we had to use to get a taste of something. Also taken aback by what sushi we were served, 8 just with cucumber/rice, sweetcorn/ rice and two totally unrecognisable ones. I've eaten better sushi from Aldi and that leaves a lot to be desired!!I wouldn't recommend this restaurant at all, definitely...
Read moreWe ordered ramen but that is not what they served us. If you are looking for a nice Raman this is not the place for it. The ramen was the most tasteless pork broth I have even has and the noodles were instant noodles that were not nice at all. My wife and I left the dish and went elsewhere to eat.
The price would have been fine if it was an actual pork broth and was tasty but it's very over priced for the poor excuse of a range they served.
The starters were nice, whole prawns in the shell were tasty and the pork served inside the ramen was very nice, (well some parts) there were a few very dry pork boys but the pieces that were fresher were very tasty.
There is disabled access into the restaurant and the toilet is on the ground floor. There is on street parking but it has restrictions however there is a car park right across the road.
In conclusion they have nice starters and perhaps other Nivea dishes but they should not be serving ramen. Just take it...
