A nice Japanese restaurant at Whampoa. The sashimi is fresh and thick, the wagyu and the cod we ordered we brilliantly made. The dishes including the salad, the corn, the pork stick, the steamed egg and the rice are at par, not too outstanding though. The final one, the dessert, coconut ice cream is very delicious. Service is good and the price is reasonable. Overall a nice dining experience.

4.5Star for Seafood! We had Sumo Lunch Buffet. We think it is about Beef and Lamb, but turn out Cod fish and roe fish is excellent. Abalone also best quality. Sashimi is good quality. And all the vegetable are Superb. Carefully cut and trim then cook on chacoal grill. How many times can we had these Grilled vegtable top quality on chacoal grill. Asparagus grilled was soooooooo good sweet from inside. But Beef and Lamb in the Buffet is a bit below average quality. But I saw they had a la carte menu that the price of one beef order is higher than the buffet. Scallop also not the best. For King Prawn : not fresh at all. Prawn quality need to improve. So if you come to Sumo Buffet Fish and vegetable are Excellent. Anyway you will enjoy and have a great time here. (A la carte price is quite expensive. So I think will be different from this review.)

A decent quality robatayaki restaurant with very well priced set menus. A good place for a reasonably priced robatayaki style meal. The service is prompt, if not a bit rushed at times.

Always better to be seated closer to the chef. Not only the food, they have also legendary sorbet

This was our first time to a restaurant of this nature and we absolutely loved it. The food was decidedly delicious and equally fresh / healthy. Great service and a lovely unique ambience make Robatayaki a real triple threat! The lamb cutlets, asparagus and salmon sushi are a must. You may well have to share a table with other guests but this is all part of the experience. Top notch and totally worth the money, we will certainly be back!

over all I like most dishes except the Miso Soup, very mild not enough taste. So only 4 stars for the food, but 5 stars for Service and Atmosphere.
