Hungry Sumo - Milwaukee

This place was amazing! If I had 10 stars I would give that!Super affordable prices for a super high quality authentic food! Coconut cream soup was so fresh and delicious $5.50, where other places charge $9 for a tiny cup...2 appetizers, 1 soup, 3 sushi rolls $50! On a Saturday night, in Bayview!I would definitely be back!

Went in on a Saturday night at 5:00 with a party of 8 and had to wait about 45 minutes to be seated (they do not take reservations . The wait, however, was worth it. This small restaurant left a big impact with its cozy space, quick service, and delicious food! For starters, we ordered the pork buns and gyoza. The buns were fluffy and soft, and the pork belly was tender and juicy. The gyoza was modestly sized with a nice crispy bottom and tender veggies inside. The ramen bowls were generously portioned, served with classic ramen noodles (Udon is not an option . The assortment of sushi and sashimi we ordered was fresh, tender, and delectable. All well presented. Everything we had here was absolutely delicious. I had read good things about this spot, and I am glad we tried it out. I would definitely go back and try more!

We were pleasantly surprised to receive a complimentary edamame appetizer right away, which was great! I really enjoyed their soy sauce, or maybe it was mirin? It had a slightly sweet flavor that paired nicely with the edamame. The hostess greeted us with a big smile and was very friendly and accommodating. The service throughout our meal was good and timely; they checked on us without being overbearing, striking the perfect balance. In Bay View, we don't have many fantastic Asian eateries, so now that I'm aware of their special vegan menu, I look forward to returning and trying more dishes. I would rate them 4 stars if the red curry had been exceptional, and I wish I could give them 3.5 stars because they are better than average; unfortunately, half stars aren't an option. Who knows? After a few more visits, I might just bump them up to 4 stars. **Vegetarian options:** Be sure to ask for the special vegan menu upon arrival; it offers an impressive selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes.

The food was excellent, but the music was quite loud. We tried a variety of dishes, including miso soup, a crispy shiitake bun, a seven-piece aburi nigiri, and a caterpillar maki roll. Despite the restaurant being packed, our waiter stopped by our table several times. We experienced a 20-minute wait at 6 PM on a Saturday. It's a small venue, so I recommend arriving early and making a reservation. Overall, I would rate the food a 4 out of 5.

Great experience! Food was delicious!! Would recommend!Food: 5/5
