Most Disliked
Despite its popularity, Sumo can feel a bit cramped during busy hours. The tight seating arrangements might not suit diners looking for a more spacious experience. Some patrons have noted that finding a table during peak times can be a challenge, especially on weekend evenings.
A few customers reported wait times during the dinner rush, which can occasionally detract from the overall enjoyment amidst the bustling atmosphere. Additionally, while the food is generally well-loved, some specific dishes have received mixed reviews for varying flavors. Overall, these minor inconveniences don’t significantly detract from the restaurant's charm.

It was the most delicious meal I have ever had in Glasgow. The food was amazing, full of flavor and beautifully presented. One drink that really stood out was their liqueur coffee. It was so good and made my experience even more memorable. I highly recommend this restaurant if you love Japanese food.

I love to visit Sumo. The food is always delicious, and everything feels authentically Japanese. I dine here often, and this is a personal favourite of mine. I would say I can recommend trying the Eel and Sake.

First time here, got the lunch deal which was really good value, the salt and chilli wings were amazing as was the ramen. Staff were really friendly and attentive, the restaurant is super clean and cosy. 10/10 can't wait to go back!

Authentic, delicious food, and perfect for a quiet lunch. Even their 'plain' Ramen base is packed full of flavour. I've visited alone, with friends, on a date and with the kids, and enjoyed it every time. I love coming here and will continue to do so :)

You can walk in or reserve a table. The dishes are delicious. Very large bowls of food. One size plate, so it's a lot of food for one person. You'll sit for a comfortable while eating. The atmosphere is a bit tight. Small space for a lot of people to eat, but it's cosy.

This is small but atmospheric, and the food is very nice. The sushi selection always tastes fresh & is well prepared & presented. The chicken ramen is my go-to dish, and I'm never disappointed.
