  Ended up stopping over here while I was walking in downtown. I didnt know that sushi boats are still a thing. Always had a doubt when it came to the freshness but still braved my way inside. I ended up ordering the dragon roll, but unfortunately the prawn tempura in the roll was not fresh... quite the opposite as it was chewy and soggy. Would not be going again .

  We are visiting in California from Switzerland and we come here three or four times a year for the last 20 years. This place is absolutely fantastic and used to have a boat but now for hygiene reasons has an actual train running around with sushi. This is a phenomenal experience for folks who like sushi and/or Trains. The food was great. The service is awesome and the atmosphere is fantastic because it’s a small family owned restaurant. You really should go here if you’re in Los Altos, and particularly if you like red bean paste mochi. And bonus points for this place for the longest time having said Irasshaimasei in Japanese for all entering customers. I love this place.

  We came here for roll with friends and everything was absolutely delicious. The staff took great care of us, answered all our questions patiently, and even surprised us with a complimentary dessert 😅 The service was warm and attentive. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely come back!

  Our new favorite sushi restaurant! As people who try a lot of sushi restaurants, we were blown away by our experience at Sumo. We ordered many items, but there were two standouts that were truly unique and unlike anything I’ve had anywhere else: • Agedashi Tofu: The texture was incredible—perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining silky and light on the inside. It’s a must-order! • Tropical Mango Roll: This was a total showstopper. The combination of fresh mango with the savory elements of the roll (maguro and sake) was so refreshing and creative. It’s a flavor profile I haven’t found at other spots in the area. Beyond the food, the hospitality and service were so kind and welcoming. You can tell they really care about their guests. The ambience is also fantastic—it has such a vibrant, high-end feel that makes for an incredible dining experience. If you’re in Los Altos, don't miss this gem. We will definitely be back!
