Sumo Kitchen

Great new sushi spot in Champaign! They have a really nice selection of traditional nigiri, and what impressed me the most were the toro pieces made with tuna or salmon belly, both absolutely amazing. The grilled scallop was also fantastic and full of flavor. The Wagyu tartare is another must try. The house sake is only 7.99 and so good, definitely worth ordering. We also enjoyed the double salmon roll and the scallop dynamite roll, everything was prepared quickly and came out very fresh. The staff was very attentive and kept checking in to see if we needed anything. The only thing I missed was more traditional Asian desserts, but the tiramisu they offered was still tasty. I am already looking forward to going back and trying different rolls and nigiri. Definitely worth a visit if you l

Delicious sushi. We were gonna eat at Sushi Man on prospect but it was packed. So we searched and looked for other options and saw the reviews were excellent for this place. Not realizing initially that it was a new restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised at how cute it was inside. Apparently it was their soft opening, which we didn’t know. Service was a little slower due to that I’m sure, but they were super friendly and apologetic about the wait times. The food was worth it. And we weren’t in any hurry anyway. We tried 4 different sushi rolls. All absolutely exceptional. Needless to say, we are super happy that we came across Sumo Kitchen and gave it a try because it’s amazing. Highly recommend. I hope they keep up the amazing food quality and it stays open for many decades to come! We

Such a nice new place! The ambience and low candle light is so gorgeous, and the restaurant itself is very well-kept and clean. It’s a really relaxing and calm vibe, and the space is beautiful to dine in. The servers are very fast and accommodating, and the food was brought out pretty quickly. The lobster is very savory and bouncy, and the prices are incredibly reasonable for such a nice restaurant. The sushi rolls were light and fluffy, and the flavors mix amazingly well together. Also, I asked last-minute if they had any candles to celebrate a birthday, and our server was kind enough to bring one out with a small cake! Thank you so much for making this a very memorable and special night- the food was delicious and the staff + restaurant are wonderful! We will be coming back here soon!

Even though I am sad that there is no longer ayce sushi, their premium sushi offering is very good quality and fresh. Very sweet uni and the “dream” set was well worth it!

Stopped in for lunch. Had the basic fast lunch, 2 protein, choice of rice, vegetables (mushrooms and onions) and miso soup, plus the Mysterious Sushi roll. Very tasty.
