Sumo Amsterdam is a fantastic Japanese restaurant where you can order as much as you like for a fixed price per person. The dishes were delightful, especially the cheese Beefroll, Chinese dumplings, tempura shrimp, beef with asparagus, and the fruit ice cream. The highlight of our visit was the energetic and positive waitress, which made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Was disappointed with the all you can eat as it's not really an all you can eat. The sushi really wasn't anything special. I've had way better sushi elsewhere. It didn't taste fresh. The actual restaurant and interior is quite beautiful
It is alrightttt.
The quality of food is not good, that is why it is not that expensive.
It is not the best sushi place, but it isnot the worst either.
There were acceptable things like miso soup, edamame or breaded shrimp.
The nigiris and rolls could be quite improved.
An acceptable place if you do not have a reserved table.

The personnel was not at all enthousiast on displaying costumer service, so it seemed. They were most likely only hired to ‘Just serve food.’
The menu said we’d have 2hrs with 5 rounds of each 4 items. This appeared to be 1,5 hrs with 4 rounds. It also didn’t mention anything about paying extra for certain dishes. As you can see in the video, simple side dishes and most deserts came with an additional fee.
The dishes themselves were okay, anything fried felt old and the salmon filet with wasabi appeared to have been served out to others before us since it had dried up. We decided to pass on this potential plate of food poisoning.
As we came there for lunch, when we arrived short after opening on Tuesday, the smell from the toilets suggested that no cleaning had been done since the weekend. Luckily my wife was distracted by the semi-untraditional choice of gangster rap making it a multi-cultural ambiance.
When we payed for the lunch, the waitress asked: “Do you need the change back?” suggesting that we’d leave the change as tip. Normally I’d lovingly tip 10-15% but in this case I suggest you find a sushi restaurant which actually has the quality and service you’d like to experience when paying well over €80,00.

Coming from Melbourne where we have an extremely popular "All you can eat" Japanese restaurant - this was a bit disappointing.
The Good:
- the food was good
- it was a quiet night so service was pretty fast
- pretty venue
- fried banana was great
The Bad:
- you can only order 5x rounds of 4x items per round. This might sound like a lot however for context, a plate of salmon nigiri comes with 1x on a plate and counts as 1/4 of your orders for that round. Makes it hard to be able to experience and try all the unique things on the menu.
- you're under a time constraint of 90mins with a clock ticking down. You're not allowed to order multiple rounds at once so make sure you eat quick & find time to order in-between dishes. We finished our 5 orders with 13 mins to spare with only 2 of us. I could see this being a bigger issue with a larger group
- forced to buy a drink alongside all you can eat (per person)
- if you feel like water, make sure you drink before you go or bring your own as they don't offer tap water and the cheapest option on the menu was a bottle of mineral water for 7.95 euros.
- you get everything on the menu included except sashimi. This costs 6 euro extra per plate
In summary, experience was alright - despite the negatives above the food tasted good. I likely wouldn't return here though.

Really hipe place , service very bad , food its ok,but what don't match what u pay and what u get, atmosphere is good when the place is 50 % empty otherwise u sit so close to each other its very bad , its not even 10cm from. One table to other one, u can easily join ur neighbor tables conversation, no privacy, so I don't really recommend.
I've visited this place twice, and during my last visit, I was quite surprised to spot a mouse 🐁 in the restaurant! I brought it to the attention of the staff, who seemed surprisingly unfazed by it. Despite this unexpected encounter, I must admit that their food is absolutely delicious, and the restaurant itself is quite beautiful. However, the mouse sighting did take away from the overall experience 😄.
