"Delicious and cheap sushi in Boston?!?! Tried this place on the recommendation of my boss. Fantastic and creative rolls. The fish was really fresh, and the service was fantastic (we did takeout because, you know, covid.... . Going back to try some of their Korean dishes next time. Glad we found this place."

"The most disappointing hibachi experience I've ever had! I made reservations with a special occasion noted for a promotion. We got there a few minutes before the reservation and were rushed as soon as we walked in. I said we had a reservation and gave my name but they didn't care. When we got to the table, we thought some others were finishing. However, we were rushed to order literally a couple of minutes after being sat because the other party was actually finishing their appetizers and we had the same cook. As far as the food, bland. The lobster wasn't seasoned properly and flavorless. The fried rice tasted off and the vegetables weren't portioned properly for the table. As far as the steak, I had medium rare and my spouse ordered medium well. Both came off the grill at the same time and my spouses was not cooked as requested. Lastly, a party of 2 had a gratuity of 20% automatically added. I wouldn't have cared if the service matched but it didn't. The service was rushed and so was the meal. We were out of there in about an hour from walking in. What was to be a special occasion turned into a subpar experience. I do not recommend and will not be back!"

"The place is the real deal! We are from South Florida and frequently dine at Japanese restaurants and we were very impressed with the quality and creativity. Everything is made from scratch I including their soy sauce. Service was great too!! Highly recommend!!"

"Decent and fresh sushi at decent prices. This will Not be your fresh from Japan omakase high end selections but it's good for its price point. Service was attentive and cordial without being overbearing. The atmosphere is nice and the tables were full when I went but luckily not too loud. I understand they have hibachi but did not try that. Their takeout selection is very nice also."

"This was my first Japanese food experience in the area, and Sumo Hibachi doesn't stand out on my list of memorable places to eat. The sushi wasn't bad, although I wish the menu mentioned it had wasabi inside. The spring rolls weren't bad either and went well with the sauce. However, the chicken with the hibachi plate was quite soft and chewy, which is less tasty than compared to a bit of char. The dressing on the salad wasn't very tasty either. The food itself warrants a star off. The other star deduction comes from the 18% gratuity at the end of the meal, regardless of party size. I've seen many restaurants add a mandatory gratuity for large groups (i.e. 6+ but it's quite rare that you're charged 18% on top of your meal regardless. That's never a good look for a restaurant. I will say the show they do in the back looked entertaining though, but I didn't get to experience it first hand."

"I really enjoy dining at this restaurant! It is the only place where I have found vegan fried rice, which I haven't had in over 5 years. It was absolutely delicious. I also suggest trying the tofu sushi roll and tofu noodles - they were both delicious. The staff is also very friendly."

"The restaurant has a very cute, trendy vibe with an intimate dining room. Btw, parking can be a challenge but if you luck up get a parking spot directly outside the restaurant on Lancaster Avenue, it's free. The ramen...WOW! I had every intention of taking some home but nope...ate every last bit there! As a pescaterian, majority of the ramen dishes had pork broth BUT there was about 3-4 chicken/vegetable/shrimp ramen bowls. Since I had the Vegetable Miso Ramen on my 1st visit (highly recommend! , I tried the Green Curry Ramen and this dish too measured up! There's a full bar and I definitely want to return to try their sushi which I hear is great too. Ishmael was a great server! The only reason I'm giving Ramen Bar a 4 instead of 5 stars is because I asked for a little hot sauce to add to my ramen and the young lady gave me Bakudan which was delish but an additional $3 and didn't even advise beforehand (total pet peeve of mine ! I never heard of an additional charge for hot sauce and even so, generally a condiment charge is only $1-2; $3 is pretty steep. But go figures because if you add shrimp to the Vegetable Miso Ramen it's an additional $7. I guess they don't care about making things reasonable even though the restaurant is located on Drexel's campus. Also it would be nice if Ramen Bar's Happy Hour pricing returned like it had pre-pandemic (the HH menu is still on the restaurant's IG page ."

"We had a great time here! The food was delicious and I definitely recommend the American Dream Roll! The orange chicken was also amazing and the service was fast and graceful. The staff was nice and the menu has many options. It was a bit loud, but that's just because it's a popular place with many people. It is a great experience with great food!"

"Wakamatsu is a place that reminds me of my mother who loves sushi. Through all the years of my life and hers in Queens, Wakamatsu was the place she always went to for tasty sushi.The inside is cozy and the screens that separate the tables provides a nice amount of privacy. Our table was always the nearest one to the window.I explored much of her taste in sushi, only to develop my own, more pickier than hers. As of now, I usually order the tempura shrimp roll. I'll also get a miso soup and my favorite drink, a peach tea snapple. Sometimes I try to be adventurous, however I think I'll always be defined by my picky tastes in life.We know there seemed to be a change in management around 4 years ago or so. The woman we were used to seeing behind the table no longer was there as she was previously. However we're glad the wonderful food never changed once. We hope she's doing well."

"Was a nice experience and the staff were really friendly. We were greeted the moment we walked in and serviced the movement we sat down. The food was amazing and served fairly quickly. The shrimp tampora and shrimp hibachi were both amazing. Serving sizes are on the larger side, so be careful when ordering : , definitely going there again and will recommend this place."

"I absolutely love this restaurant! The food choices are always incredible, with delicious sushi, sashimi, bentos, pineapple frits, and tonkatsu don being some of my favorites. The drinks are fantastic as well, although they currently do not have a liquor license. I have been a loyal customer since they first opened, and I still love it just as much as I did back then."
