" Sumo Japanese Kitchen is definitely a hidden gem! I went there for a casual dinner and ended up having one of the best sushi experiences of my life. The Tiger Roll was spectacular; I can still taste it! The waitstaff was super accommodating, and the vibe of the restaurant is relaxed yet lively. I even enjoyed a refreshing bottle of sake which paired perfectly with my meal. Highly recommend this place for both sushi lovers and novices alike! " (*Curated Review*)

" The sushi at Sumo is incredible. Each roll is carefully crafted, and you can taste the quality of the ingredients. I was impressed by the freshness of the fish. We also tried their gyoza; they were just the right amount of crispy. I’d love to see a few more vegetarian options on the menu, but overall, I was very satisfied with my experience. The atmosphere was buzzing, and it felt welcoming. A great dining choice in Rapid City! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner at Sumo during my road trip, and I have to say I was blown away! The sushi rolls were lush, filled with flavors I didn’t expect to encounter in South Dakota. The staff was very friendly, and it felt like a homey place to enjoy dinner after a long day on the road. I tried the spicy tuna roll and the Philadelphia roll—both were hits! If you’re traveling through the area and looking for a great meal, this is the place to stop. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just moved to Rapid City, and finding Sumo was a pleasant surprise! I enjoyed their Gyoza, which were some of the best I've ever had. The sushi was good but I felt like it could be just a little fresher. Nice ambiance overall and the staff was attentive. I'll definitely be back – the prices are reasonable, too. " (*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*)
