" I was skeptical about trying sushi in South Dakota—how good could it be? But Sumo Japanese Kitchen blew my expectations out of the water! The menu was diverse, and we tried a little bit of everything. The Chicken Katsu was crispy and flavorful, while the sushi rolls were fresh and expertly made. The only downside was the wait time since they were busy, but the excellent food made it worth it. This place is now on my must-visit list whenever I'm in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t rave enough about Sumo! The sushi is mouthwateringly fresh, and the variety is fantastic. The crab Rangoon is a must-try; it's delicate and crispy. The decor is inviting, creating a pleasant atmosphere. My kids especially loved their sushi served in little boats—it was a hit! The staff was warm and friendly. My only request would be for a few more dessert options, but that's minor. We will definitely make this our go-to sushi place! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who has tried sushi across the country, I can confidently say that Sumo Japanese Kitchen is top-notch. The freshness of their fish is remarkable, and the variety is satisfying. I particularly loved the gourmet twist they put on their poke bowls. We also shared some gyoza as an appetizer; it was crispy and filled with savory goodness. The service was friendly, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, a fantastic meal that I would highly recommend to anyone in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've dined here a few times and my latest visit was just as good as the first! I ordered some sushi rolls and a chicken teriyaki bowl, both of which were perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The only slight downside was the wait for our drinks, but the food made up for it. The decor is beautiful and adds to the overall experience. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family absolutely loved our dinner at Sumo Japanese Kitchen! The sushi was incredibly fresh and bursting with flavor. We indulged in the Rainbow Roll and the Volcano Roll, both of which were beautifully plated and tasted even better than they looked. The service was prompt, and our server was attentive, ensuring we were taken care of throughout our meal. The cozy ambiance was perfect for a family outing, making it a memorable evening. We can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Sumo Japanese Kitchen was a wonderful experience! The sushi was fresh and authentically prepared, which is hard to find in less coastal areas. The interior has a quirky charm, especially for Godzilla fans. I sampled several rolls—each one was unique and delicious. The only hiccup was that our drinks took a bit longer to arrive, but the staff was apologetic and made up for it. A delightful evening overall, I'll definitely return next time I'm in Rapid City. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I had a fantastic dinner at Sumo! The sushi was indeed authentic and well-prepared. The flavors were bold, and everything was fresh. The only thing I found lacking was the dessert menu; I would love to see more traditional Japanese desserts like dorayaki. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere felt right for a sushi place. Overall, a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)
