I went to happy sumo for an anniversary dinner with my wife. I loved how well we were received, it was our first time there and abril was really kind and gave us great suggestions from the menu. The food was excellent. I would recommend the Vegas roll and the samurai roll, it was so delicious. The environment was welcoming and we’re excited to come back any time soon.

We had the Vegas roll and the playboy. The playboy was definitely our favorite of the two, but a classic Vegas roll is always good. We also tried the fried cheesecake. It’s pretty fruity and a lot bigger than you think! Our server was also the best and the chefs were so kind!

We come here often to enjoy some of the best sushi our city has to offer. If you’re lucky you’ll get Abril as your waitress. She is by far the best waitress we’ve ever had at any restaurant. She’s friendly & informative about the menu & always on top of it. We love Happy Sumo. So fresh and always hits the spot.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at happy sumo and I just have to highlight the exceptional service provided by Kristal From the moment we were seated, Kristal made us feel welcome and attended to all of our needs with a warm, friendly demeanor. Their knowledge of the menu was impressive, and they made great recommendations that made our meal even more enjoyable. The timing of each course was perfect, and they checked in at just the right moments, without being intrusive. What stood out most was their genuine care for our experience, going above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. Whether it was refilling drinks or offering a suggestion for dessert, kristal truly made our visit memorable. Thank you, Kristal for making our dining experience so wonderful. We will definitely be back and look forward to being served by you again!

Best sushi in Utah. Also, the service, incredible. We had Abril as our server and you could tell that it was more than just a job to her. It was a mission. And she went above and beyond to take care of us. Got me wanting to go back again and again just to see the servers again. Can’t wait for next time!

When I arrived, I was greeted by Brighton, and she was very professional and polite, and led me to my seat. The booths were very well kept. The atmosphere was extremely pleasant, and the food was amazing. After I ordered, the food came out after a couple of minutes. It's a great sushi restaurant and I would highly recommend going here.

My husband and I visited this weekend while we were down in Provo. This was our first time visiting. We really enjoyed to food we ordered, but the service was rushed and it was a long wait. We ordered the Calamari as an appetizer. The Calamari was alright, and we ordered 5 sushi rolls. All which were delicious! We ordered the Rock Shrimp, BSCR, Big Sumo, and the Baked Lobster roll. My husband’s favorite was the Rock Shrimp and mine was the BSCR. We look forward to trying it again soon!
