    This place was great! I loved the miso soup. The Thai lettuce wraps were my favorite. So good! Then we had the playboy and sunset rolls, both really good. I will definitely return!

    Our waitress Holly was amazing! She was super nice and personable. She did great at making sure to keep our drinks full and checking in on us. The food was great and tasted amazing.

    We love and have been coming to happy sumo for years. It’s a great environment and service is usually quick and good. Holly did a great job. The last time we went my entree came out way later than my husband’s which was mildly inconvenient. We shared his sushi until mine came. They had a seasonal sushi roll with jalapeños and lime and escolar sashimi that should be on the permanent menu! It was so good! Make it permanent. Also, I feel like the temperature of the restaurant is always on the cold side, so be prepared for that.

    Wow what a great way to spend my day at the Riverwood, then to eat some sushi, especially the FRIDA roll. The food was delicious, the scenery was great but a little dark, and the service was fantastic. We had the sweetest server Emmaline help us out with the APPLE PIE ROLL, it's a must have dessert here.
