SUMO Sushi • Grill • Bar in Bielefeld

Very tasty food. Fast friendly service. That was once...unfortunately the quality of the food has deteriorated significantly. The price for the all you can eat cannot be justified for this quality. Service was okay, not particularly friendly or unfriendly. It's a shame, I always enjoyed eating there,

Really great food but way too expensive. I paid €53 as an individual and my colleagues were over 40. I can still recommend the store. Very cool.

At this point I can only rate the food since I came from too good to go. But the quality was really very good. I wasn't usually a sushi fan but that's changed since I went to sumo! They also have very friendly staff. I will definitely come back as a guest!

Very friendly service. The food was a taste explosion and the bedside tables were all delicious

The quality has decreased significantly, the salmon looked good but the taste was terrible, and the other side dishes such as chicken, lamb and beef (+ everything in the same sauce) were so tough that you could hardly eat it. The sushi itself consisted of too much rice that couldn't even be identified as sushi rice anymore, it was totally crumbly... because the price of the "all you can eat" option has risen so much, the quality has decreased massively, I won't be going there again, which I think is a shame because it used to be much better there. For the price you can get much better sushi in Bielefeld!

Very, very tasty and a fair price, but unfortunately some items for the all you can eat didn't arrive at all or arrived really late. All the employees were nice, but because they were stressed, things were sometimes forgotten or ignored when you asked something

One of the dishes I ate today with All you can it came out like this. It was so disappointing that it felt like they were playing with the food. The seafood used in all dishes was very mushy and not very fresh (even the fruit felt old). Overall, the seasoning was so strong that I felt flatulent. The quality is so terrible that the price of 35 euros per person (without drinks) makes no sense. The staff is friendly and the food doesn't deserve a single star.

Very salty, sweet and unfresh. Still expensive and no demand.

Our favorite sushi shop in Bielefeld 💥

A lovely experience! There were three of us and we didn't have a reservation, but we were immediately given a seat with very little waiting time. The waiter explained the concept to us and the service was very nice. The older gentleman in particular was very attentive. The food was good, I particularly liked the large selection! Thank you for the lovely evening.

Two of us went to Sumo and were unfortunately disappointed. Ordering via tablet initially sounded practical, but the device was dirty, and our food was even placed on it – very unhygienic. The quality of the food left a lot to be desired. The sushi consisted mostly of rice, and the fish dwindled as the evening progressed. The meat (duck, chicken, lamb) was obviously frozen and tough. Moreover, you can't really call it "all you can eat" when you're only allowed to order five small items per round and then have to wait 15 minutes for the next order. With a time limit of 2.5 hours, that's a clear limitation. Especially at the beginning, it took almost an hour to satisfy our initial hunger. The desserts were purely industrial, and things that are standard in other sushi restaurants (e.g., wasabi or sashimi) cost extra here. The price of €36 per person (excluding drinks), with many additional charges, is absolutely exorbitant. The only bright spot: the nice lady and the friendly older gentleman serving. But overall, Sumo has declined considerably – we won't be coming back.

There are much better ones. There were two of us yesterday (19.03.25) and we only understood half of what the waitress was saying, and then the wrong food kept coming to the table. I'd never experienced lamb in terms of quality; it was more like meat that you had to chew like a baby monkey. For people who were too far away from the tray you had to order from, there was always the danger that the stupid thing might fall off. Constant waiting is not good for people with ravenous appetites or who are hungry, as it is constantly annoying. Just like in every sushi bar/restaurant there is always this stupid surcharge for what isn't eaten, and it's no wonder if it isn't cooked or fried properly, I certainly don't want to upset my stomach or even get food poisoning or salmonella. Trying it once is fine, but I won't be going back. It's more for people who are too lazy to get their own food from the buffet. Exactly the right restaurant.

The restaurant has a very nice atmosphere. The food is very fresh and has a very good taste. In other stores the selection is a little larger, but it is still highly recommended there.

This restaurant offers a diverse selection of grilled dishes and sushi at fair prices. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the service is among the best. However, I noticed that some grilled dishes, salads, and pasta dishes are very heavily seasoned—some even too salty. This somewhat detracts from the original flavor of the food.

The food was delicious. The ambience is nice. The service very fast. It would still have been a nice evening if they hadn't messed up our reservation. At the beginning we had to prove via the call list that we called and justify ourselves again after paying. People had the feeling that we were being accused of sneaking in illegally. We were accused of stealing seats from other poor guests. Of course that's not possible, so in the future we will no longer challenge other guests for their seats and will prefer to eat somewhere else. No recommendation!

Even without a reservation on a Friday evening, everything was tried to find us a place. Prices have of course risen sharply, but the food was correspondingly tasty

I've been there a few times, I was there again yesterday and I have to say it was great quality and the food has increased again, keep it up very tasty

At first I was skeptical when we received a voucher for this. It was pretty crowded when we walked in. But the staff arrived quickly and showed us the table. Drinks were also quickly picked up and served. It's unusual to order via a tablet. A tip, you should have the tablet cleaned first, because ours didn't look cleaned.😞 We also chose dishes that we didn't know, only if you didn't like them you were looked at strangely when you gave them back. Although we tried with 4 people. But something like this is really great, since you get the food in small bowls/plates, you don't have to go back as much if you don't like it. We were also amazed that, despite being crowded, it wasn't any louder than in normal restaurants.👍 The food came very quickly and was cleared away quickly when it was empty. The concept of being able to order 5 dishes every 15 minutes surprised me a lot, but I can absolutely recommend it 😋 It was very tasty, the staff was very nice and the price was good too! Just try it out😉

So for the price you can't say anything, very tasty and the food comes quite quickly. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The only thing I might have to complain about is that some things at the buffet still cost extra, e.g. mochi or drinks, but other things are quite good

simply delicious. We'll be back 😍

Service is great. It was my mom's birthday and everyone was saying happy birthday

Yes, if you like sushi, this is the place for you! Ordered enough sushi via tablet, as did the drinks

Disrespectful treatment of guests.

Unfortunately I cannot recommend Sumo Bielefeld. We wanted to eat there, but before we even got in we were treated extremely unfriendly. As visitors from another city, we were looking forward to a nice experience, but were disappointed. Hospitality definitely looks different! If you value respectful interaction, you should look for an alternative.

The employees were consistently rude and seemed annoyed. Questions about certain dishes were either ignored or answered briefly and unhelpfully

It's really sad how you are treated in the store. No hello, no nothing. Employees are the last thing

I always really like the food here but the last time I was here was an absolute disaster. I was there with my family and unfortunately two of them have severe gluten intolerance. On the iPad there is no ingredient information at all and the normal card at the table is simply not correct, but there is a third card that is just a word table with crosses, so you spend half the evening looking at the pictures on one card and then looking in the other card to see whether you can eat it. Disaster. The modern approach with the iPads is great and there is also a button to see more information about the individual dishes, why aren't the ingredients there too? Why are ingredients printed on the regular card if they are simply wrong? In addition, when I asked why the information in the normal map was incorrect, I received a stupid answer. Extremely unprofessional. Except that some dishes, when ordered together, are put on one plate. Of course I understand that this is common, but when someone with an intolerance of just one tiny gluten molecule has to spend the whole night hanging over the toilet, this is something that needs to be taken into account. I will never come here again with anyone who has any incompatibility, you just can't rely on being respected enough here.

Always my pleasure!!!! Delicious food served quickly.

Great restaurant and quick service. Drinks also great. If you choose the buffet, you order via tablet and the food is quickly brought to the table. In addition to sushi, you can also try many other dishes. À la carte is also possible, although I haven't tried it yet. There is a terrace in the warm months. Our allergy problems were also taken into account. The price for the buffet seems high at first, but it is completely legitimate considering the quality. I always enjoy coming back! 😊

There is a large selection of sushi and it tastes very tasty and fresh. There are also various drinks for all tastes. Service is quick and orders are prepared and served quickly. Overall, a nice place to eat sushi with friends or family.

It's a shame what has become of the store. It was a shame for the two of us to go there for a few weeks without a reservation and to eat today only by reservation. That's a shame, so I don't recommend it

Greatest dirt, I always went out to eat there and called ahead It wasn't possible to make a reservation. You should just come over and on our anniversary we wanted to eat there and we were told there was no place without a reservation, that's just disrespectful and not recommended!

Food was great. Ambience a bit too dark but overall recommended

I can definitely recommend it was the first time there and will come again

Always worth a visit. Next time I'll remember to take photos. My favorites: Sumo Sushi and scallops. The quality is and remains top, we have been a customer for years. Service always friendly and quick. The dessert is also impressive, the ice cream is very good, I can recommend unusual flavors such as matcha and sesame.

Was there and ordered the buffet. Incredibly delicious! As soon as you have ordered something on the tablet, the food will gradually be brought to the table within the next 5 minutes. I can only recommend it!

Very large restaurant, therefore noisy. Very friendly staff. Absolutely awesome and delicious food. The table is reserved for 2.5 hours. You can order 5 meals per person via tablet every 15 minutes. With 5 people at the table...chaos. awesome chaos :-) You quickly lost track of who ordered what. 5x5= 25 bowls. Doesn't matter. We tried Queer Beet out of all of them. Salads, soups, meat, sushi, baked, fried... Simply an EXPERIENCE!!!! A table reservation is an advantage. WE WILL BE BACK!!!

Very nice sushi shop. Upscale. Always quick Fresh and delicious

I always enjoy coming to this restaurant because the food is simply delicious and the selection is so diverse that nothing is left to be desired. I've been eating here regularly with my mom for years and we've never been disappointed. The service is always top! The owners also try very hard to ensure that everything runs well and that the customers are satisfied, so that you feel comfortable. An absolute 10 out of 10 in terms of taste!

I had dinner at Sumo with a friend today. The food was, well, mass produced, it tasted that way and the staff was very, very unfriendly. When you asked the owner that you were dissatisfied with the service and therefore didn't leave a tip, he angrily shouted at me that he didn't need any money, he was rich enough and threw me out of the shop screaming. We were there for the first time and the last time. For that money I'd rather eat real sushi. NEVER AGAIN !

Great food! You should check the prices beforehand, but the sushi in this shop is simply the best! Ordering via the tablet was also fun. Half a star deducted because unfortunately we waited a really long time for the first drink. We had already received the first rolls, but had nothing to drink yet, so we asked when the food was served. Then the drinks came quite quickly and so did everything else. Maybe just sunk. We were there on a Saturday evening and it was quite busy, but still not too loud. But you should make a reservation.

Fast service and the food was also great

I find the store visually very tidy and beautiful. The concept with the tablets is well implemented. The selection was very good and also very tasty. However, due to the many orders, it's very hectic and the staff doesn't always seem particularly friendly. But the food is very good and definitely worth a try. Top selection.

Unfortunately the quality of the food has decreased. I actually often ate at Sumo Bielefeld. However, the prices continue to rise, so that the price-performance ratio is no longer correct. I won't be coming back (unfortunately).

Such a great restaurant 🫶 we felt particularly comfortable with small children, it is by far the most child-friendly restaurant we have ever met. We felt so comfortable (being there for the first time) that we would happily travel 70km to eat sushi again. We thanked you for that and the lovely owner said 'We love children' and we could see that 🫶Thank you for the great service and the delicious food. Absolutely great and highly recommended for families with small children and babies!

Had dinner at Sumo with friends today. Are really impressed, just by the friendliness of the employees. Even with a small dog it was no problem getting a table (of course the dog was in the bag). Ambience clean, toilets clean, food is varied and tasty

My conclusion about the whole misery was really sobering. Let's get to the front door first. The extractor hood was certainly set to the last setting as the door wouldn't open. Luckily there was a customer at the door who helped me open the door (my first date looked puzzled). I smashed the door into the restaurant with full force. Be that as it may, now it's time to get down to business. Do you know the videos on TikTok where Indians offer street food? There is nothing more to add... Price performance was a unique disaster. I'm happy to pay for good food, but I'm not happy to pay for a stomach ache. The employees except Grandpa were very motivated and enthusiastic, they threw the plates on the table as if they were an animal. No smile on his face and very unsympathetic. Despite this I have to give 1 point because I got toothpicks, the toothpicks were probably included in the price. My conclusion to the whole thing is, people if you have a date then avoid this dubious and utopian restaurant.

I think the principle of the tablets is great (paying for 5 portions every 5 minutes). The food itself is OK. The service was excellent. The only thing that really bothers me is that after washing them twice, my clothes still smell like a restaurant. Too bad.

Sushi very good, but also know better. Grilled dishes are very good! Modern ambience and younger clientele - you have to like it. A bit too loud and too narrow for our taste. We would have liked the music to be something Japanese and not chart covers.

I don't understand the negative comments and reviews. Some people just like to get upset... The two of us were there on a Sunday evening. The shop was packed, but every order arrived at the table quickly, correctly, hot and, above all, delicious. We had the all-you-can eat twice and more than took advantage of the price. The selection is so huge that we couldn't really try everything. Nothing was left or returned. Since it was my mother's birthday, we were asked several times by the service if we would like to be serenaded, which we found really cute. No trace of aggression. You are also happy to give almost 10% tip 👍🏻 I can only recommend this experience to anyone who likes to celebrate all-you-can-eat. I read in a review that a guest complained that he was yelled at because he wanted to take his food away. Anyone who can read has a clear advantage: If you order too much food, you will be charged extra to prevent waste and promote sustainability. If you want to eat your sushi at home, you should go to Penny...

Super good sushi. Service top, fast and nice

Disaster! It can be compared to a normal all you can eat only with prices that are twice as high. We've never had such bad sushi in my life. Rice hard and completely falls apart. After the visit on Friday, we spent two days in the toilet. The public order office should also stop by here more often. The employees were completely unfriendly and literally complained to us because we wanted to separate our bill because it was too complicated for them to calculate the amount by 4. Oh well. We won't come again.

I rarely write a negative review! But the food at Sumo is unfortunately of very poor quality overall. The sushi rolls consist almost entirely of rice and advertised contents such as chicken or salmon are not recognizable. Everything is over-salted or over-sweetened and you can tell that the concept is aimed at sales. Never again for the money, it seems cheap at first glance, but that's deceptive! In Bielefeld you will find 100 better alternatives!

It was my first time eating sushi and I was pleasantly surprised. Quite expensive, but everything was very tasty and fresh. Was very busy on Friday evening. There is no peace and quiet there.

We chose the buffet last night and were disappointed. The food came burnt, with three portions. We didn't dare mention it again the third time, no sry from the kitchen. Because we are good eaters, people tried to take the tablet away from us twice and indirectly asked us what else we wanted to eat. I think it's outrageous, after all we left 175 euros in the store. Service very hectic and unfriendly, atmosphere like at the train station. Won't be coming back anytime soon, we've been a regular customer for a long time. The quality of the meat [lamb] has also deteriorated, very fatty. The other meat is often well cooked, with the finest shoe soles. Even though we had reserved, we had to wait a quarter of an hour for the table, assuming that we had reserved half an hour later. It's clear

I can breathe. 2 hours later I can't breathe anymore.

The food tasted okay, there was a lot of choice, but unfortunately 80% of it was way too salty for my taste. I have to say the service was very friendly.

Super tasty and since all you can eat it's a real bargain in terms of price.

Never again! The sushi was so dry and poorly rolled that it fell apart between the chopsticks. The rice was hard and undercooked. The store was packed to the rafters and the staff was completely overwhelmed and very unfriendly. We had all you can eat and continually received dishes that we hadn't ordered, others only came 2-3 rounds later. Sometimes things were literally thrown onto the table as you walked past, so much so that they almost flew off your plate. In the end we were reprimanded quite harshly and unfriendly because of the leftover food that we hadn't ordered. Conclusion: For the prices charged, the overall picture is a joke. You simply expect more - namely better service and better food. Apparently it's not about quality, just quantity.

We were there on Friday with 3 adults and 2 children. Since then everyone has had stomach pain, diarrhea and vomiting. Everything points to food poisoning, which both the pediatrician and the family doctor confirmed. I called on Tuesday and was supposed to come over. Conclusion: We were fobbed off with a ridiculous voucher for €60 and were told that we had eaten everything all together. Absolutely disappointing. The least we could have done would have been to refund the buffet price after we were flat for the last few days. Absolutely disappointed in my once favorite restaurant.

Really delicious, fresh, 😋 and nice atmosphere

Quality has decreased very, very much! We had been in the store for 20 minutes and we wanted to leave. For 2 people 20 minutes 80 euros is a lot!! Not again, no thank you...

Whatever was going on with people last month, today we had absolutely good food, friendly and fast service and another recommendable dining experience! 5/7 perfect score

Everything has become too expensive. Want a lot of money for little. Just stop eating outside

Not all of the dishes were tasty; a few times what we didn't order was brought to us

It was my first time in this store and never again! Limited selection of good sushi. The service is totally unfriendly and absolutely not professional. The old lady who was at the bar yelled at me outside in front of all the customers just because I wanted my 3-4 sushis packed and didn't understand paying an extra €9 for 3-4 pieces. Such behavior is not acceptable at all. Considering that we only paid €68 for all you can eat (+ drinks more of course), the food was far too meager. Plus the disrespectful customer service. I don't recommend it to anyone. There are a thousand times better sushi shops.

We always like to come here for all you can eat. Super delicious food and very nice staff. Price-performance is top

Arrived here with great anticipation and expectations were high. Just 1 minute after we placed the order, we were disillusioned: sushi like from the discount store. We arrived at exactly 5 p.m. and the restaurant had just opened. How I can get my sushi within a minute, which is also cold, is incomprehensible to me. Except for the Tako Yakis, none of the dishes arrived hot. It was lukewarm, like it had just come from a warming container. Very disappointing.

The store is nicely designed and the service is okay but that's about it. The food was a complete disgrace. The cheapest stuff you can get, grilled fish to death, sushi made from regular unseasoned rice. Culinary disaster for €37!! pp Would have been okay for 18.50 given the quality.

We ate at the Sumo Buffet on Wednesday evening, September 4th, 2024. Since Friday morning, all 4 of us have had stomach bugs with the same symptoms. We're not surprised by the reviews! It has been reported to the health department.

Make no mistake, definitely do not eat here. It was our first time as a family to eat there and never again. Similar to canteen. Food doesn't taste good. Flesh like rubber. Quality of sushi leaves a lot to be desired. The sushi looks horrible. They all fall apart. The sushi was messy when cut. Just bring warm dishes cold. Service itself admits that the food in this restaurant is bad. Far too expensive and the service was very cheeky and aggressive. There are better restaurants with good service.

Rarely eaten so well. Top! Friendly service, great food Update: open again after 4 weeks of summer break. And just as good wherever! Only recommended.

I've often gone to sumo with my family and have always loved it. I really like the wide range and also the interior design. But I would like air conditioning because it can quickly become a reality because of the open kitchen. I went to Sumo for the first time 4 years ago and unfortunately I have to agree with the reviews about the decline in quality. We were there on Sunday and reserved a table in advance. We specifically asked to get a table outside when the weather was good. When we arrived I saw that all the tables outside were occupied. Because of the good weather, we also brought our 3-month-old puppy with us (but only because we made a reservation outside!) When I told the boss that we had reserved a table outside, she said there was no one left and that she had one inside has us. I pointed out to her again that we wanted a table outside and that we had a puppy with us who would probably find it too loud inside. She showed us a table inside and we sat down first. I then asked my friend to remind her that we had reserved a table outside. Luckily, my puppy wasn't scared at this point. When my friend asked her about it, she just said that she didn't have a table outside and if we wanted to sit outside we should come back in 1.5 hours. I then asked her if we could move as soon as a table outside became available. She became totally rude and said no because otherwise we would have to bring the food and drink from inside outside. What kind of service is this?! I come from gastronomy and service myself and that is not a service that I would give to my guests! It doesn't work at all!!! We called ahead because of the puppy and the man on the phone assured us that dogs were allowed, but no one was willing to bring water for the little one.

Really good food. Arrived quickly and freshly prepared

Had a few business lunches here with our company (30 people) and have been there privately around 50 times in the last few years. Extremely slacked off! Zero hygiene! Zero friendliness! You have lost us. We have given the store a chance often enough.

The quality of the food has decreased massively. High-quality ingredients are hard to find anymore. Sushi is defined by high-quality and fresh ingredients. As you can see in the picture, the sushi consists of 80% rice... you can hardly see any salmon or avocado, let alone taste it. And that was no exception, it was like that the whole evening. The other dishes also tasted very average to below average. We are very disappointed. For the money you can eat very good, high-quality sushi in Bielefeld. We won't be coming back...

Great atmosphere with the option to eat outside. The conditions were all very nice and friendly. The price is also very good for the food. The only drawback is that a sushi roll was not rolled well and was brought to the table once or twice without any content. It's still a great Shushi restaurant and we'll definitely come back again!

Prices higher, quality lower... well you know

Unfortunately it used to be better, the quality is no longer there, you notice that it has to be done quickly, even though we were almost at the end and everything was empty

Price-performance is good, but you have to make compromises in terms of taste.

Super delicious food, you can hardly find a huge selection in the area. Can only recommend it! We've been there many times.

Classic tablet asian restaurant. Consistently good and fresh food. Unfortunately the usual very taciturn staff. Tables and sanitary facilities clean and tidy. Background noise very loud. All in all, worth a visit and the price-performance ratio is good.

Well organized buffet. Order via tablet. 5 choices per guest every 15 minutes. Drinks cost extra. Everything very tasty and fresh.

Excellent value for money, friendly staff

Satisfied so far. Food prepared to perfection. Delicious. With more than 4 people I would find it difficult to keep track of the dishes chosen.

Limited menu, expensive prices and not even good quality, I don't recommend it.

The food is delicious, very convenient menu on the tablet, where there are photos of all dishes! I take one point off for the work of the waiters, they are not very friendly. The location is good, in the city center.

One of the best restaurants I've ever been to, the food is to die for and the price is completely justified for the quantity. The use of the trays is an additional plus point.

I was there once with my family 😄 we really enjoyed it and the system behind it is also really cool, you can definitely do it more often 😁

Good concept of , all U can eat

Ambiance is nice. We went there based on Google reviews. Sushi was not solid much apart. Beef with cheese (shoe sole with something in it).Sauce for the spring rolls (3 pieces) is enough for 1 maximum!! Ice cream was with ice crystals and the flavor of the table partner. There is a difference between chocolate and vanilla. The selection and quality of the food compared to other All You Can Est Sushi Bars is very small and the taste is poor. Aperol with still water (that's what we were told. It could have been stale sparkling wine. This was complained about. service Bad is put very kindly. Instead of clearing the table, used dishes are piled on top. While you're eating, something is briefly placed on your own plate because you need space. That doesn't work!!! Instead of walking around the table, people constantly reach over the table. Clear away glasses? Nope, why is there enough space on the table? We explained everything to the lady who charged us. She wanted to offer us a drink on the house. This is meant kindly but that doesn't make the whole experience good. That doesn't work at all

Deserved 5 stars. The takoyaki were to die for. Ordering via tablet is simple and clear. You can't complain about the price either. There were two of us, under 30 euros per person, without "all you can eat". The next culinary visit to Bielefeld is guaranteed to find its highlight here ;)

The food was a complete disaster, it doesn't taste good, some things don't have any salt, it's just a complete disaster. I was there once and I won't go there again. And I also have a stomach ache with my girlfriend, but the sushi was good LG 😀

Yesterday we went for an all you can eat meal with the whole family. Was great as always. Everything is fresh and good quality, well prepared. The staff very friendly and quick. Can't understand the bad reviews!!! But some people always have something to complain about. I can definitely highly recommend it! Thank you for the lovely evening!

Good food and calm atmosphere. Lots of choice and very tasty food. The service was also relaxed. We'd love to come back. The restaurant offers a varied buffet in a cozy atmosphere. The service was friendly and attentive. The prices were reasonable. Overall, a successful visit, we would be happy to come back.

It's OK ! Sushi doesn't taste like quality but you can eat it if you're hungry. Unfortunately a few noodles arrived burnt. Conclusion: if you feel like eating a lot, this is the place for you. If you're looking for quality sushi, you've come to the wrong place. The prices are very high but definitely justified for the amount of portions you can eat

Food and service are really good. When it comes to the ambience, I have to say it's nice and modern, but unfortunately it's also very loud when it's full

If you are looking for an “all you can eat” you will definitely find it here. Unfortunately, during peak times (weekends/holidays) some orders simply go missing. Otherwise recommended.

Moderately busy at lunchtime, nice service. Food very tasty.

Price performance is okay here, the food you order comes quickly and the quality is okay.
