Hungry Sumo Hibachi House — Restaurant in Knoxville

The food here is superior to almost every other similar restaurant in knoxville. Up there with Asian Kitchen for me. Vegetables are fresh and the meat is cooked accordingly. It's also a small business that I'd rather support than any franchise. The people who work here are so nice. They work as hard and fast as they can to get your food to you. They are super busy during school because they are on campus and there isn't much parking, I also wish they were open later. It's a sacrifice we are willing to make and it's close to the house. Looking forward to trying the ramen. I personally prefer the Philly egg rolls over the crab wontons. Teriyaki dishes are perfect. I want a hungry...

The nicest Malaysian couple owns this hidden gem. It's a little underwhelming to look at, but the food is banging.

Hibachi: Yes, please 🙏 😋. Had the Chicken and Steak Teriyaki with a side of Scallops. Steak was seasoned and cooked medium well. Chicken was tender and juicy. Scallops were tender and not overcooked.

Dumplings: Chicken Dumplings, aka pot-stickers, aka goyza, were fried crispy but tender and tasty on the inside.

There is seating to eat in, but hardly no parking. What parking there is is paid, restricted, or straight-up confusing.

Pros: Food, owners, prices

Cons: Parking. Knoxville has the worst parking because everyone is always...

None of the food was… good. It was a to go order so maybe they just screwed me over because I wouldn’t see it in person, but it was genuinely inedible. And i’ve eaten boiled chicken with salt and pepper. The pork belly wasn’t chashu, it was dry, it had broccoli, the broth had no flavor, and the noodles were… udon noodles? Genuinely the worst ramen i’ve ever had in Knox. Maybe it’s just that they aren’t very good, and their other food is great. I’ve heard great things about the place but that was just unacceptable...
