Sumo Japanese Steak House - Restaurant in Virginia Beach - 116 S Independence Blvd STE 108, USA

We had our work Christmas party here last year but it was only about 15 people. This year we've grown tremendously to about 45 attending. Which left a bit of a daunting task to find a place not already booked or that was willing to take on that large of a reservation Decided to check with Sumo after being turned down by several other establishments. Although they seemed a little scared of that big of a group, they happily took the reservation. I too was a little nervous about how things would go but they surpassed my expectations. The staff exhibited exceptional efficiency, amiability, and a flair for entertaining, leaving us thoroughly impressed. Four tables and four cooks orchestrated the evening seamlessly, supported by very attentive staff members attending to our needs throughout the event. Of course the food was absolutely amazing. You truly outdid yourselves, contributing significantly to the resounding success of our Christmas celebration. Thank you from Underground Connections

Haven't been here in a while but so glad I stopped in for dinner! The hibachi energy was HIGH & our Teppanyaki chef was amazing! Cooking made fun & communal!! BRING ON THE YUM YUM SAUCE!!!!!! 🥰😋

Went for a friend's birthday party. Had a good drink which was made and served very quickly after I ordered it. The chef we had was super entertaining and kind. We had a great time and we will definitely be going back.

The food was good. The chef was entertaining and cooked our meals as requested. However, the old woman we had as our waitress seemed very stressed. She walked away one time after asking if anyone needed something, to which two in our group said yes, we'd like a cocktail. She never came around the table where we were seated, she only served us by reaching across the hot grill.

Our server, Katie, was awesome! She brought everything out in a timely manner and was very attentive and kind. Our chef was Eli and the food was fantastic, and he was great to talk to while he cooked! We’ve been here before and will definitely be back. The drinks were also delicious! 10/10!

It is one of the best Japanese steak houses. First time visiting, and I must say... "Wow!" Great menu, drinks, and so much food with a Teppanyaki meal. Large, fresh red steaks, nice size lobster tails, shrimp, and scallops! I'm sure the chicken is just as good, but I can't say since we didn't order it. Robert was our showman, who was incredible. They have a nice birthday dessert of pineapple, lei, and music. It's much better than a scope of ice cream. It's definitely one of the best we've eaten at. I'm looking forward to returning. Recommend reservations on weekends.

We went here a few years ago and it was good.. my daughter wanted to go for her 11th birthday. The lady who took our order was so quiet with a mask on, super unfriendly and we could barely hear her. She made sure to ask her age so we could pay the $10 more instead of her getting a kids meal. They charge extra for fried rice. The show was just okay.. nothing special at all. When we were getting up, the carpet was so disgusting, my shoes were sticking to the carpet!! On the way out we noticed how dirty the windows were and my niece pointed out the door mat looking old and awful as well. I would NOT recommend this place.. I’d definitely rather drive further for somewhere nicer.

Food was good but ordinary like other similar places clean also im sure the prices include the cooking show id go back
