Pink Sumo Sushi & Sake — Restaurant in Westport

Standard sushi/sashimi with acceptable quality. I ordered the sashimi bento and an eel hand roll. Portions were smaller for the price compared to other places.

This place faltered on service during my afternoon lunch on the weekend. First, I wasn’t seated immediately when there was an open table. I was told it was reserved - but then the walk-up family that followed me less than one minute later (confirmed with them that they didn’t have a reservation) was given the table. Second, once seated, the server took a lot of time to take my order. Third, my eel and cucumber hand roll was inaccurately served as eel and avocado so I had to send it back. Fourth, although it was outdoor seating, some of the basics of outdoor seating fell short. Too many bees buzzing around my table with no counter-pest measures taken.

Took a while but it was approved by the manager - as long as I showed ID. Which I would have except... I forgot my wallet! Then the hostess said she would remove $13 of food from the bag. I walked out and left them with the entire order. If this is the kind of "service" you want as a regular - for $13 dollars - then absolutely go for it. But I...

Pink Sumo is good. The food from both the kitchen as well as the sushi bar are very good and I’ve always enjoyed coming here. They also have good drinks too.

Since I’m not from the area, I’m not a regular but I make it over a few times throughout the year and the last time that I came here for dinner, I noticed that their menu prices have increased quite a bit. I wasn’t sure if it’s due to demand and lack of availability so I compared some common menu items to a nearby place and the outcome was a bit offsetting. For example, I rarely see eel on a sushi menu for more than $3.50 per piece and they’re charging $10.

In conclusion, this place is a treat with a...
