Where should I check out next? I seriously love you Hungry Sumo! My favorite Asian food in the city by a landslide. Follow along for more Milwaukee recommendations! I have never ordered anything I didn’t like here. We arrived around 5:15 and waited an hour for our table. It’s always worth the wait! Head to Burnhearts or Nonfiction while you wait! For food we ordered the Hottie Hottie (personal fave), Edamame, Madame Marmalade and Beauty and the Beast. Everything was 10/10. I of course will be back very soon!! #milwaukee #mke #414milwaukee #milwaukeefoodie #restaurant #bayview #wisconsin #hungrysumo #sushi

My wife and I came here on a Thursday night about 830. We were seated immediately and told to pull menu up on phone from QR code. Someone dropped off waters and left. We spent five or so minutes looking at menu and waiting for our server. He didn’t come until we both had phones down. Asked if we were read to order. No other greeting. He didn’t ask if we had any questions or needed more time. We ordered our appetizer and entrees. He did ask if either of us had any food allergies which was nice. Food came quickly. Had the vegetable tempura for appetizer. It was delightful. Consisted of carrots, onions, red bell peppers, mushrooms and the other vegetable was either zucchini or eggplant. My wife ate it and enjoyed it. I had one of the ramen dishes. It was delicious. My wife had a Thai dish and it was also delicious. Our server did refill our waters promptly and asked about 920 if we wanted anything else before the kitchen closed. One thing that wasn’t great was miscellaneous staff grabbing things off the table. Not dishes but the soy sauce, qr menu code, candle, etc. I get wanting to be out but that was pretty annoying especially considering the place was at least 75% full and we were gone well before the 945 closing time. Anyways, I’d definitely go back if I lived in Milwaukee area. I’m visiting family and we wanted to try something new. The food was outstanding and very reasonably priced. Cool atmosphere. Tables are pretty close together so minimal privacy. Next time I’d love to try some sushi and would hope for better service.

I've always wanted to try this place, but feared they had nothing for vegans. Fortunately, some friends told me they had a whole special "secret" menu for vegans, so we gave it a try. Tell them you're vegan and out comes the special menu, chock full of things they can make vegan. I love red curry so I ordered that and it was above average for sure, but just not the best red curry I've ever had, but still it was a B++ or A-. The ramen dish that was ordered was also good, but we'd probably order something else the next time we come just to try something different. Complimentary edamame appetizer was brought out immediately - great! I love their soy sauce, or perhaps it was mirin? A slightly sweet soy sauce to dip the edamame in. We were greeted by the hostess with a big smile. She was very friendly and accommodating. The service was good, timely, they checked on us, weren't overbearing or ignored us - just the right amount of service. We don't have a ton of really good Asian food places in Bay View, so now that I know about their special vegan menu, I'll be back to try many more things. I would give them 4 stars if the red curry was great, and I wish I could them 3 1/2 stars because they are better than average, but alas...no half stars allowed here. Perhaps I'll raise them to 4 stars after I've had a few more meals there.

First of all, as people with food allergies (wheat, soy and peanuts) my sister and I had such a good experience here! I already knew that I would have limited options as I usually do at a Japanese restaurant. Nothing is cooked with peanuts so my sister was good, but soy and wheat were used. One of the staff members was really knowledgeable and helpful about what I could and couldn't have. I got a Boston roll and a Philly roll, and instead of soy sauce for dipping, she brought me some sweet rice vinegar, which I highly recommend asking for! The plating was beautiful and the rolls were delicious. As far as the experience, we got there around 8pm and there was a 30 minute wait. They called us by phone to come in and sat us at a table for 2. The place is a little small and felt crowded at first, but as soon as we were sitting at the table and looking at the menu, it didn't feel that way at all! We wanted to try sake, but weren't fully committed to what kind of sake we would like. Luckily they have this thing called a sake flight (picture added) where you can try 3 kinds of sake! It was a nice way to see which we liked the most. Overall, we spent about an hour and a half here (including the wait) which was perfect. I'm definitely going to be back (: I spent $20 for 2 rolls and 3 sake samplers before tax and tip.

Yum! Yum! Yum! My husband and I received a gift card and we were excited to try it out! I’m not sure if they do take advanced reservations, I had looked online but didn’t see anything. We went on a Friday evening so it was a little busy, we waited about 20 minutes for a table. The restaurant was plenty busy with all tables filled and plenty of to go orders going out. We wanted to try a little bit of everything so we ordered a bottle of the plum wine, miso soup, bao buns, and some sushi rolls! The wine was sweet and delicious, a nice pairing to all of the food. The miso soup was also good, definitely lots of flavor compared to others I’ve tried, I only wish the tofu pieces were a bit bigger, personal preference. We really enjoyed the Sumo Pork Buns, yummy and juicy pork with some special sauce. Finally we got a classic spicy tuna roll, Drogon roll, and Sweet monster roll. We wolves them all, especially the sweet monster a nice balance of spicy and sweet. We can’t wait to go back and try more. The menu has so many delicious sounding options! We really liked dining and enjoyed the restaurant!

This is my favorite restaurant in Milwaukee! We live very close to the restaurant and we were very excited when they opened their doors! Pim and Jeff are the best neighbors we could ask for, and their food is fantastic! Hungry Sumo has an expansive menu that is continuously adding gluten-free and vegetarian options (they are very helpful and the server always asks about food allergies/sensitivities before you order). Pim and Jeff work so hard to make their customers feel welcomed, and their food is consistently delicious (we know because we're there weekly!). My personal favorite is the tom kha soup with rice, the hottie hottie, and the Beauty & the Beast sushi rolls. We also love the Black Tokyo and the seaweed salad. And the hot sake. And pretty much everything else on their always-updated menu. I'd seriously recommend you check it out if you're in the area and love sushi. We love you guys! Thanks for being great neighbors! :)
