Sumo in Falkirk

OK but just and no more. It’s far from authentic and you’d be better off going to Wagamama.

Good food, good service, not expensive

Friendly quick service and the food is always excellent

Food was nice enough but do not order from the early bird menu as you will need about 10 dishes to touch the sides! They should call it the toddler menu!

Food was bland and tasteless. I ordered the beef ramen and it tasted like the had just put garlic in boiling water rather than an actual broth, and the beef tasted like it had been boiled with no flavour at all. Very expensive for poor quality food.

Our first visit here and also first taste of this cuisine and it did not disappoint. We had a variety of sushi to start and it was delicious. The ramen was absolutely amazing and we were able to bring the leftovers home (the portions were huge) which was great. The service was also amazing and we were made to feel very welcome. Will definitely be back.

Such a great place.. amazing as always

Starter was delicious, so was the sushi. The ramen was absolutely pointless, bland and very overcooked grey beef. Scattered spinach, beef and some stock isn't ramen. Packet ramen is better. Cold and dry chicken with the other meal. Shame as the starter and sushi was so good.

Decent sushi in a place you might not be expecting any sushi at all. I'll not lie, it wasn't the best sushi in the world. There certainly wasn't anything wrong with it, but as sushi goes it was OK. Granted we had this as takeaway instead of eating at the restaurant, potentially that might have made the hot dishes better. But overall, nothing you couldn't put together at home with supermarket ingredients and for considerably cheaper too. Salmon sashimi, 6/10: it was reasonably fresh, but nothing special, and found a few bones that hadn't been prepped completely. The 'side salad' of just a tomato slice seemed completely at odds with the dish. Sushi mixed platter, 6/10: again, reasonably fresh but fairly basic. Miso soup, 5/10: very basic, not a great deal of flavour. Salt and pepper chicken wings, 8/10: These were actually quite nice, good crunch even after steaming up a take away box. Would order these again. Eel on rice, 7/10: Eel was tender, sauce was sweet and savoury and overall prepared well. The staff were friendly and helpful when I came in to order, and the food was prepared pretty quickly. Special mention to say they very kindly gave me chopsticks for free after I realised too late they needed to be added to the bill (50p per pair FYI) and they have a £6 card minimum so I was a bit stuck otherwise.

Very clean restaurant with friendly staff, food is delicious too!

My absolute all time favourite place for food in falkirk! love the decor food is always amazing especially the sushi made fresh right on the counter!! Katsu chicken is my go to dish but everything is always amazing! My friends and i always enjoy coming and have never had bad service or food. Highly recommend this restaurant ❤️

Amazing, delicious, fresh vegetarian ramen. Incredible tasty tempura vegetables. One of the best I've ever been to. Thank-you.

Top quality as always. Super quick and friendly service

Love Sumo good authentic food lovely staff

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.

I have been to Sumo multiple times over the years, and with disappointment, I can only say the quality has greatly decreased. The food is very mediocre, and the meat tastes like it was frozen and fried more than once. The beef steaks, if you can call them that, are tough and chewy. The ramen no longer has fresh egg noodles and now uses cheap soba noodles instead. Sushi rolls are overfilled with rice and have very little filling. They serve a tiny dot of wasabi and two slices of ginger for your entire platter. As prices at Sumo go up, the quality goes down. It is definitely not a real Japanese restaurant, just one pretending to be. Not recommended.

Love sumo, been coming here for years and recently decided to get a takeaway, I got the sushi platter and katsu curry (classic), great portions and had loads of left over curry to enjoy the next day 🤣✨ Sushi is always fresh made and delicious and I love that they do takeaway option (you must collect, no delivery). Can be quite quiet in the restaurant sometimes which makes you feel like you also have to talk really quietly as it's a small room but wouldn't put me off going as the food is amazing. Staff are so friendly and attentive. 🍣 🍙

It's got good food,good service and a wide variety it is quite expensive however the food is amazing.The fish roe gun kan Is to die for.

Always quality food and service. Noor was very pleasant and helpful

Best food I have had in a long time and reasonably priced. Great service, would recommend to anyone visiting falkirk.

Got a takeaway from Sumo and the food was amazing. Large portions and a great price. Highly recommend.

Our usual sushi restaurant was closed due to a technical issue so we thought we would give Sumo a try. On entering the restaurant I asked for a table for 2, only to be met with a very uninterested waitress who drew a look. Was shown to the table then handed menus, well they were actually just put on the table and she walked away. Watched other people coming in and all of them were either initially ignored or met with the same look. When our order was delivered I asked what type of sauce we were given as I could only easily recognise the sweet chilli.........the response " I don't know" and walked away. Whilst the starter was very tasty I couldn't say the same for the sushi boat, totally bland and tasteless. What's more you had to take what the chef decided, no choice given unless you wanted to pay more and for what we were given I'm glad I didn't pay more. I ended up having to order extra drinks as very dry from the amount of soy we had to use to get a taste of something. Also taken aback by what sushi we were served, 8 just with cucumber/rice, sweetcorn/ rice and two totally unrecognisable ones. I've eaten better sushi from Aldi and that leaves a lot to be desired!!I wouldn't recommend this restaurant at all, definitely won't be back.

The food was fantastic and the service from the owner was absolutely fantastic, although I have to be honest here there was a waitress who I'm assuming is relatively new, and her attitude left a lot to be desired and she just acted like me and my friends were a hindrance at her worth rather than customers. Really disappointed as the food was top notch and everyone else was absolutely fantastic.

Only wanted curry sauce, rice & chips for 2 people to sit in. Was told they can't do that. They said I would have to take the katsu curry & side portions of chips. Much more expensive. When it came out on a big square plate, 2 corners were chipped right off! While eating a staff member came over to clean the table next to us. Meanwhile a mist of cleaning product went over our table & my bag. Food was'nt the best either.

28£ for 2 starter and 2 main and drinks., tasty and delicious. Absolutely worth the price. The service is good and the staff is helpful. 100% recommend

Good quantity, taste wise okay. Fast service, smiling people, parking right in front. Cozy little place.

My family and I visited and we loved it. My wife wasn’t sure if the kids would have much as they can be selective at times, they absolutely loved it as there was such a wide and varied menu to select from. For a family of 5 we spent £85 inc drinks, 3 of us had mains, one of the kids had 3 starters to try new things and the youngest one had a starter and a bowl of chips to pick at, we had some inari nigiri too which was amazing. We will definitely be returning. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Quick, friendly service. Nice and clean dining area, simple Japanese decoration. Ordered shrimp gyoza, miso soup, sweet chilli tofu (with fried rice) and rich & spicy ramen. All dishes were tasty, fresh and with good presentation. Nice tea too. Left with a full stomach and a great first impression, will certainly come back soon and highly recommend for others to try.

Really enjoyed my takeaway from Sumo. It had been a few years since I had been there. Will be back soon.

Lovely place for quick delicious food and great service.

Takeout was very nice and at a reasonable price. £8 per person. Would recommend

Always good quality food and service

If you're on a bean sprout diet this is a good place for you. They made 60% of the hot dishes we tried. Other than that either very bland or excessively sweet. We asked the server a question about a dish and she couldn't be bothered to find out the answer in the kitchen, 5 steps away from our table. Very disappointing.

The staff were really nice and foods the was really good

Awful in every way. Cold welcome, cluttered boxes in entrance, fire door obstructed by freezer. Portions small teriyaki chicken was hard three skewers with flattened meat no sauce £5.60 The three meats in the noodles was like eating leather £13.60. Overpriced and over rated. Felt ill afterwards.

My little boys and my favourite restaurant , highly recommended

The food is amazing, very fresh and reasonably priced

Delicious asian food and lots of choices.

Starter was ok, chicken garlic was fab, if I'm back there definitely going for that chicken dish.

Really nice welcoming place in Falkirk. The eel was delicious, nice starters. The chilli base wasn't as spicy for my seafood udon as I would have liked, but overall great flavours.

My all time favourite restaurant & I’ve yet to find a place that comes close to the sushi they make! Outstanding.

Came to Sumo for 2 reasons. First, because the place we'd normally go to was closed and second because of the high ratings. The only word to use would be "disappointed". The sushi was mediocre, at best, and the service was lacking. If it was just me that felt that way, I'd question my feelings, but we were a party of 5, and the others were voicing the same opinions.

Was out for Birthday lunch with my friend. Food was faultless and we both really enjoyed food, staff are very helpful and attentive

Absolutely heavenly food, Sushi was absolutely divine as was the Sumo Udon. Nice little place with friendly and helpful staff. My partner and I stuffed ourselves absolutely silly. Definitely want to eat here again.

Authentic Japanese cuisine. The sushi is fabulous. Has kitchen style furnishing so it is quite basic, but functional. Polite and efficient service. Near Asda for 90 minutes free parking. Thoroughly recommended.

Only critique I would have with the ramen is it isn't the traditional style boiled jammy egg. Also door slamming can be jarring.

Great food, excellent service.

Beautiful tasty meal, young lady lovely. Will b back xxx

Butt was a bit numb, but apart from that the.most important thing was the food and it was 1st class

Went with some friends to try this place out. I ordered the veggie ramen and was grateful when I was given the option for the water based broth instead of beef, but it was unnecessary since I ended up with beef in my ramen anyway and didn't notice till half way through the bowl as it was hidden under the noodles, resulting in a waste of money since I couldn't finish my meal after. A very unfortunate first and last impression of a place that otherwise was seemingly good.

I had nice dinner here, the portion is huge and staffs were very friendly ❤️❤️❤️

My favourite takeaway ever! I've never had a bad meal or experience in the years I've been both dining in and taking away. The chicken katsu curry with sticky fried rice is to die for 😍 Only downside being they don't do delivery anymore, but that's stops me being lazy I suppose.

The place was OK but a little cold. The Ramen was not good and my daughter's ramen was tasteless and missing the egg. We will not becback there.

The sushi was good and fresh. This was my first time, and I imagined the sushi menu to have had a wider selection. Quality of the food was spot on.

Very big positions. Ramen portion is enough for 2 persons. Friendly staff, good atmosphere

Lovely staff. Food was great. Big portions and very tasty. Ramen bowls are massive for kids with eyes bigger than their tummies!

Очень большие порции основных блюд. Довольно высокие цены, хотя обстановка в заведении самая демократичная. Хорошее обслуживание.

Это просто был не плохой суп, но никак не рамен.

A wee gem of bursting flavours, great value for money and good food. They do fresh sushi and a wonderful selection of Chinese dishes. Take away or sit in. The seated area is cosy seating a few tables. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The food is amazing. They offer a mid day special menu of 2 or 3 courses.

First time visiting, absolutely perfect, food was amazing , brilliant prices and staff are very polite and helpful, now my favourite place to go , will definitely be back.

Simply amazing - my favourite place to eat in Falkirk xx

Fantastic, food amazing and staff lovely.. Will definitely be back!!

Travel here from East Lothian quite often, probably one of my favorite restaurants ever.

Excellent food and great value.

Always a pleasant meal. Such a nice little place not many people know about.

We went for the set lunchtime menu which was delicious. We were the second table to be seated after opening and by the time our drinks had come the restaurant was packed which is a credit to how tasty the food is. A Japanese gem in the heart of falkirk

Great service. Helped me find a vegan option. Nice place. Will be back!

Excellent food as always. Great value for money

Tasty food and great service. Simple as that.

Great food and the staff are very attentive.

Very enjoyable hand made fresh allow time for large orders

Clean, staff very pleasant, excellent menu. Food delicious, drinks over expensive.

Absolutely love the food and the Katsu curry is one of my favourites from here

Outrageously expensive for poorly presented and tasteless food! Disappointed as this was a favourite of mine where portions were generous, food was delicious and options were brilliant! Not worth the money to sit on a bench under fluorescent lighting!

Spectacular sake, liked the taste of everything but my bowl of ramén Was too much for me to finish. The waiting staff were excellent and looked after us really well.

Amazing fresh food great service

Not traditional ramen, oily broth with overcooked tough pork. Still ate it though.

Good service. Wide selection :)

Food was tasty enough and waitress nice. Careful Vegans and Veggie people!! This restaurant likes to put pork paste into miso or Veggie /vegan ramen/undon. While I read that their undon / ramen comes traditionally with the pork paste ( even when it's labelled as V/VG!) and managed to state that I would like to get it without it, the miso ( which I never thought will have pork paste added) came not vegan even though it was labelled as such. Only after a couple of sips and smelling it I realized what had happened. The waitress didn't think there was pork paste added to miso, but it sure enough was as the chef confirmed. So seems like the chef just adds it at random. As our entire order was veggie/vegan I would think he would ask first before adding it. Have to say not super happy I drank broth with pork paste and will not be back. Other food was tasty enough tho.

Freshly cooked and always tastes amazing. Good size portions.

Go. You will not be disappointed. Try the gyoza!

My food was ok but the mrs was not. Always had good food there so reluctant to only give 3 stars. Will def go again and adjust, but for now only 1/2 the meal was good.

Sumo has been our regular place to eat for the past 5 years for good reason, and will be our favourite place for many years to come.

Brilliant place to eat love the dishes

Good food quick service decent prices

Food is good and the service is good

It is difficult to define the food style of this place. Sushi very limited and other dishes unfortunately not as tasty as they should be

Very nice food. Lovely atmosphere and its clean.

Absolutely lovely, with a very affordable set lunch menu.

Lovely food and helpful staff. It's now my 1st choice when wanting a takeaway.

Lovely food, staff were very attentive, nice and friendly. Everything very clean, lots of hand sanitizer and staff wiping down surfaces frequently.

I went with the family for late lunch today. Kids had chicken noodles which to my surprise i could taste Worcestershire sauce through it. Definitely no garlic was cooked through them. The ramen soups were a massive disappointment. Very bland and found myself adding more soy sauce and salt to my dish. If your looking for somewhere authentic this is not the place to go.

Great take away..Will definitely be back

Wow, amazing food and efficient service. Cannot rate this place high enough! Worth a visit and the money!!

Nice detour meal pleasent and good beer nice toilets parking opposite

Great value 2 course lunch great service

Really good food here. The ramen is fresh and really tasty. Even managed to take a full portion home!

Good covid measures, great tasting food and very friendly staff. Highly recommended
