Sumo Asian Kitchen Davie and Sushi — Restaurant in Davie

Sumo Asian Kitchen – A Hidden Gem in Davie!

I can’t recommend Sumo Asian Kitchen enough! This incredible hidden gem in Davie has quickly become my favorite spot for fresh sushi and authentic Thai cuisine. From the moment we walked in, the cozy ambiance and warm, friendly staff made us feel right at home.

We started our meal with the spring rolls and Thai dumplings. The spring rolls were perfectly crispy and freshly made, while the Thai dumplings were absolutely divine—flavorful and generously stuffed with meat. Each bite felt like a little taste of heaven!

For our entrées, we indulged in the Sumo Roll and the Coconut Curry Salmon. The Sumo Roll was beautifully presented, with each piece bursting with fresh, bold flavors. The Coconut Curry Salmon was perfectly cooked, tender, and drenched in a creamy curry sauce that had just the right balance of spice and sweetness.

Even though Sumo doesn’t serve alcohol, their mocktails are a game-changer. Not only are they expertly crafted and refreshing, but they’re also gorgeous and totally Instagram-worthy!

To round off our meal, we treated ourselves to the Thai Donuts. They were the perfect ending—fluffy yet crispy, served with an indulgent trio of chocolate syrup, condensed milk, and whipped cream.

What truly sets Sumo Asian Kitchen apart, though, is their impeccable service and authentic ambiance. Every detail, from the décor to the menu, feels thoughtfully curated. It’s a dining experience that goes beyond just great food.

If you’re in the Davie area, Sumo Asian Kitchen is a must-visit. Trust me, you’ll fall in love just...

You would be correct if you think the menu looks a lot like KUBO in Coral Springs and Wilton Manors. For all practical purposes, the food is precisely the same (95 percent?) with a few minor changes to the ramen section (they have Kao Soi and Green Curry ramen added) and a few different appetizers (Japanese french fries are addictive) and entrees (the volcano shrimp is fabulous).

The main difference? No alcohol. They aren't allowed to serve it for reasons that elude me. So they've got a mocktail and boba tea menu instead.

They've recruited one of the sushi chefs from TAKO in Sunny Isles Beach; the fish prep is beautiful and high-quality, which is to be expected of this Thai-Filipino family that runs quality Asian restaurants and if I lived in Davie, I would hit this place all the time. We had an excellent salmon with pear appetizer and a madai nigiri sampling that was sent out. I’d absolutely order the rolls here; they are the same excellent rolls I get at KUBO. But they will also do chef tastings and big boats and all that as well.

It’s a smaller, quieter, more family-friendly Kubo. Whats...

We visited this restaurant in February for a dinner outing with five friends and one child. Surprisingly, it wasn’t too crowded during dinnertime, which made for a nice, relaxed atmosphere.

The food presentation was beautiful—each dish looked thoughtfully arranged. The sashimi platter, in particular, was absolutely delicious and had a high-end feel to it. The sushi rolls were also tasty and creative, although the two we ordered tasted quite similar. Our friend’s child really enjoyed the sushi and Pad Thai, probably because both leaned toward the sweeter side. The ramen was also quite satisfying.

The only downside was a rather awkward moment: when the sushi was served, one of our friends went to grab some soy sauce, thinking it was self-serve. A staff member snapped at them quite sternly, which took us by surprise. It would’ve been helpful if the service had been a bit more friendly or at least clearer about where to get condiments.

Overall, we had a nice time and enjoyed the food, especially the sashimi. A little more warmth from the staff would’ve made the experience...
