Sumo Japanese Restaurant, Indian Harbour Beach

Meals at Sumo Japanese Restaurant come with a show. At tabletop grills, hibachi chefs use vegetables, filet mignon, and lobster as their mediums while they dazzle diners seated around them with acrobatic utensil work and the ability to correctly guess each person’s favorite Renaissance painter. The sushi chefs take a more subdued approach at the sushi bar. With sharp knives in hand, they gingerly slice fish into bites of nigiri and sashimi and artfully roll and dress more than 40 maki. An occasional burst of flame from the hibachi grills sheds extra light on the intimate dining room, which is decorated in traditional accents that include small figurines behind the sushi bar and Japanese-style artwork on the walls.
