Sumo Sushi - Sherman Oaks

The first time we went to Sumo Sushi I did not know what to expect. We had passed by in the daytime and noticed it is in an area with industrial buildings. At night, all of the other buildings were dark – only Sumo Sushi was lit. We parked in the dark lot at Midas Muffler Shop and wondered if there was anyone inside Sumo Sushi. Inside we were pleasantly surprised to find other diners and a busy Sushi bar. One of our party looked for and found the “A” rating displayed near the entrance. The restaurant was lit by black lights which took just a moment to adjust to. The menu appears stylish in the black lighting – the white writing leaping out at you. We found the food to be good and the pricing very reasonable. California Rolls were 3.95 and the special rolls were in the 5 to 9 dollar range. Dinners were 12.95 to 15.95, which included a cut roll, salad, soup, rice, and a choice of teriyaki or tempura. Three of us ate for under 35.00. The service was good but not exceptional.
