Sumo Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Indian Harbour Beach

Should have been 5 stars, but ended up a really bad experience. Ordered Edamame appetizer, Combo Sashimi, Udon Soup, and Chicken Katsu with green tea and a Shirley Temple: bill came to $62. Not bad...probably average for this kind of meal. When they fired up the Hibachi to do the live cooking for other guests at the front of the restaurant, the smoke was burning my eyes even though I was sitting at a table against the far wall. I think they need better ventilation! When our meal came we could tell the chef took pride in the presentation...very colorful and artistically plated. The soup was outstanding with thick chewy noodles and great flavor with a hint of sesame. The chicken Katsu was also very good, flaky and tender. The sashimi was also great, except it came with imitation crab meat. This was especially disappointing since we asked our server before ordering and she said it was "only fish." Other than a possible language barrier problem, our server was very attentive and thoughtful. That is, until she disappeared. At first she was there every 5 minutes, asking if we needed refills and checking on us constantly. Then towards the end of the meal, she was gone without warning. The only other server seemed to be going out of her way to avoid us, sitting there with our hands folded for nearly 20 minutes as she walked past us 7 or 8 times. At first I thought she was tending to the Hibachi guests. Then the last time she walked by, I turned around to see her re-arranging the menus at the cash register! I had to get up out of my seat and walk up to her in order to get her attention. I felt this was very rude behavior. And that's unfortunate because otherwise the food was quite good. But that experience was bad enough that I may...

Worst dinner I have ever had at any Japanese restaurants! 17 of us were there for my aunts 70th birthday it was reserved with plenty of time we dropped off a cake early that day by myself and my son had some wine and some sake and me and my mother shared a plate of hibachi my son had hibachi chicken my bill alone was $114 for absolutely nothing there wasn’t enough food by the time he made it around the table in the grill there were four adults and a teenager and all of us got half a scoop of rice half a scoop of vegetables and couldn’t choose steak could’ve bounced it off the wall so my family probablyWas 17 of us probably spent close to $500 the service was terrible we would for Sushi and They forgot we were the only ones in there which I found very weird the last time we were there was about five years ago for another birthday and it was fabulous I paid $50 for what would’ve been one plate of food at any of the other hibachi Japanese restaurants in Brevard I’m sure you’ve all been to the other two well named restaurants and left with food we we didn’t even have food to take. Even if the quality of food was horrible it was just greasy rice it was no Japanese flavor or anything this was absolutely the worst meal I’ve had at a restaurant in my entire life they didn’t write down orders I just thought they were going to remember him very disappointing sure wish I could get my money back I will tell you we were the only ones there eating there were lots of DoorDash orders for sushi coming and going everyone who ordered a little bit of sushi loved it hibachi forget it don’t spend your money there. We all work very hard for her money I promise you do not waste your...

Great place for a Bento Box This is located in the Publix shopping center on the Northeast corner of the South Patrick Drive/Eau Gallie intersection. Getting to the shopping center is easy from come directions but challenging from others. Once you arrive, there is plenty of parking for all the stores. This restaurant is one of 3 in the shopping center, each catering to different tastes. It is located in the center is near the Pet Supermarket store. Like most stores in the center it has a thin but long area. There are at least 2 u-shaped hibachi tables but I have not seen them used lately. There are several booths and tables and a sushi bar at the back of the restaurant. We entered through the door and were immediately seated at a booth. Their menu was rather extensive with lots of choices. We came at lunch and ordered a salmon bento box and a Chicken bento box. The miso soup and salad came out immediately and were very good. We ordered green tea. The boxes came out within about 10 minutes. The staff was very friendly. The restaurant was clean and the food was excellent. Overall, it was a very nice experience and I would highly recommend for anyone wanting a good Japanese meal...
