For over two decades, Sumo Sushi & Bento has carved out a special place in the UAE’s dining scene, becoming a household name for food lovers who crave Japanese cuisine with a creative twist. I have been visiting their Town Centre Outlet regularly over the last few years and since they will close for a small renovation soon, I am hoping to make the most of it by indulging in my favourite dishes there the next few weeks.
What makes Sumo so loved is not just its consistently fresh and flavorful dishes, but also its ability to balance tradition with innovation, creating a dining experience that feels both comforting and exciting.
The menu is a feast for all senses. Sushi rolls, artfully prepared and brimming with fresh ingredients, take center stage, from classics like the California Roll to house favorites such as Samurai, sushi sandwiches and Sweet Potato Crunch.
For those who prefer hearty meals, the bento boxes deliver the perfect balance, each one a well-rounded selection of rice, proteins, poke bowls and sides that highlight the art of Japanese dining.
Diners can also explore Sumo’s wide choice of ramen dishes, which have become a signature favorite. With rich broths, perfectly cooked noodles, and a variety of toppings, each bowl is a warm embrace in a bowl, satisfying on every level.
But Sumo Sushi & Bento isn’t just about food. It is about the experience. Guests can pair their meals with refreshing drinks that elevate the flavors of their dishes. From chilled iced teas infused with fruity notes to creative mocktails, the beverage menu has something to quench every thirst. Seasonal specials add a splash of excitement to the lineup, ensuring there’s always something new to discover on repeat visits.
What sets Sumo apart is its accessibility. It is a place where families, friends, and colleagues can gather, enjoy high-quality Japanese food, and feel at home. Regular promotions keep the experience rewarding, whether it’s the much-loved weekday offers, monthly specials on signature rolls, or deals on delivery that make indulgence easy and affordable.
For anyone in search of a dining spot that blends authenticity, creativity, and great value, Sumo Sushi & Bento is the answer. Whether you are craving sushi, ramen, or simply a refreshing escape with friends, Sumo promises a meal that is as memorable as it is delicious.
With multiple outlets across Dubai and beyond, Sumo Sushi & Bento ensures that great Japanese food is never far away. Each location in offers the same warm welcome, inviting ambiance, and culinary excellence that has made the brand a local favorite. In Dubai, you can find Sumo Sushi & Bento in Dubai Media City, Town centre, JLT, Silicon Oasis, Al Murooj, Motor City and Mirdif Hills Avenue. There is also an outlet in Al Qasba Sharjah as well for sushi lovers.
