Sumo Markthal in Rotterdam Centrum

The service was very friendly and the food came out quickly but still tasted fresh.

Terrible sushi; it was dry and had been sitting for too long. The fish they used for the sushi was absolutely awful. Never again! The only good things were the bulgogi chicken, fresh vegetables (mushrooms, zucchini), and the mini taiyakis, and for that, it's not worth over €40. The staff was friendly and everything came quickly, but the sushi was absolutely inedible. It's a real shame, as it used to be my favorite place.

I ate at this sushi restaurant tonight. We made a reservation for 7:00 PM and were seated exactly on time. We were served fairly quickly, and our drinks arrived promptly. We chose the All You Can Eat option. It included five rounds of four dishes, and the selection was extensive. Initially, the dishes took quite a while to arrive, and some were missing. After I reported them, they did arrive. Subsequent rounds went fairly smoothly. The quality of the dishes was excellent, and everything was wonderfully fresh. Because it was busy, there was quite a buzz. Sitting comfortably in the restaurant was practically impossible on a Friday evening. We had plenty of food, and everything was very tasty. I can definitely recommend this restaurant. The price-quality ratio is excellent.

Everything was reasonably fine, nothing to complain about, only some waiters forgot to bring the food

A restaurant that makes you wonder if Ratatouille is cooking the food. There are serious hygiene issues.

The 'eat all that you can' is a lie. Don't believed this! You have only 5 rounds and you can order only 4 pieces by round. So, if you order 4 pieces of sushi, you will use 1 round. Pay attention. They don't sell only the food, you need to pay one drink also. The Chinese food is very good but they don't say in the menu if is spicy or not. The sushi isn't good. Is an expensive restaurant.

Delicious sushi, friendly service.

We had a reservation for 3:30 pm and thought we were coming for lunch. It turns out we had to pay for dinner. This isn't clearly stated on the website. The dinner menu also states that ice cream and cake are included, which isn't on the tablet menu. The sushi was also cold and not fresh. In short, not worth the money!

Delicious food, friendly service

The food was delicious, and the service was very friendly. Despite being a large restaurant, the layout is cozy. It was fantastic.

After cutting the number of rounds (from 5 to 4) earlier this year, now they have increased further the price from ~27 to ~31 on lunch menu! Insane. One year ago it used to cost 25 for 5 rounds…. Never going again.

What a terrible place! The service is absolutely terrible. I spent €110 and only had two rounds of food because they had a Wi-Fi outage and the iPads weren't working. You were given a piece of paper to write down what you wanted to eat; it would have been nice if that piece of paper had been collected instead of making someone wait 45 minutes!

Long wait times with reservation, portions are small (2 pieces of sushi when you order on the tablet. Seems understaffed

The food is terrible, as is the service at this establishment. It's a shame the owner has no interest in improving the quality of the food or service. I won't be going there again, and I advise everyone I know to stay away.

The food was fine, horrible service. Employees seemed very unhappy and uninterested.

As always sumo is fine sushi restaurant for all you can eat. After ordering on the tablet you don't have to wait long for the food to arrive at the table. I would recommend coming here

I ate here tonight and left very satisfied! The service was especially good.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. We explicitly asked for à la carte service, but they charged us a fixed per-person fee as if it was an all-you-can-eat place. This kind of misleading practice is unacceptable, and I can only give them one star for such poor service.

The food is always great, but today there was a piece of wire in the sushi. Annoying, they say...

Extremely delicious sushi, really fast and friendly service at moderate prices.

We’ve been coming here for years, but sadly it has become a place of very poor quality. The food was badly cooked, the staff didn’t even know the prices, and they refused to provide a glass of tap water for our two kids. Very disappointing, never here again.

They say it's all you can eat, but there are actually a lot of rules that prevent you from ordering whatever you want. A trick for crafty people that doesn't get you anywhere. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE

Very tasty, friendly service and beautifully decorated!

There are other sushi places better here in Rotterdam

Really disappointing and misleading. Their all you can eat arrangement is limited to 5 rounds, it is not unlimited as they say and write. The portions are very small: for nigiri 1 item = 1 piece, and it's really tiny. Additionally, we waites over 30 minutes to be served (it was lunch time around 12:45, there were maybe 5 tables in total occupied and 10+ people in the kitchen). Nobody offered anything, not even an apology. When the staff asked if we had a good time, we expressed these issues and they were not simpathetic at all.

Delicious. I have to say, the service was quick and the food was excellent. And the service was fantastic; nothing was too much trouble if you asked the staff for anything. It's a bit pricey, though! But you don't do it every week.

The atmosphere and decoration are great, and the location inside the market and city is excellent. However, the experience did not meet our expectations. Both the signage and our waitress indicated it was an "all-you-can-eat" restaurant, but in reality, orders are limited to 5 rounds with a fixed number of pieces per round. This does not reflect a true all-you-can-eat concept. Additionally, there’s a mandatory 10-minute wait between orders, and since everything is placed through an app with no notifications, you must track the time yourself. Unfortunately, the quality and taste of the sushi did not justify the price paid.

I was surprised at how delicious the octopus was, just like in Japan. The all-you-can-eat option actually has a set amount, so it's not all-you-can-eat. There were a lot of mistakes made with orders. And above all else, the attitude of the staff was the worst. This is the worst restaurant I've visited in Europe. I want to give it three stars, in a negative way.

I visited this restaurant expecting a true all-you-can-eat experience, but the system in place is quite different from what’s advertised. You are limited to five rounds, with a maximum of 8 pieces per round, and must wait at least 10 minutes before ordering the next round. While the sushi itself was decent, the restrictions make it far from a genuine all-you-can-eat experience. The wait between rounds and small portions per order mean you end up spending more time waiting than actually enjoying your meal. In my opinion, the way this is promoted is misleading, and it would be fairer to clearly explain these limitations upfront. Unfortunately, this left me disappointed and I wouldn’t return based on this policy.

We were last year here, and we had to eat again here today, so tasty and good prices!! Also very nice service!!

Excellent food, friendly service and amazing mojitos.

Claim all you can eat, yet severely limit the amount you can order. Only five rounds of four items per person. Have fried coquille / scallop on the menu. But it's defiantly just cheap imitation crab. Pictures on the menu don't look like food you receive. Sashimi salad on the picture looks like some nice mixed leafy greens with nice slices of sashimi, but in reality it's just chopped up cubes of fish/octopus drenched in some spicy sauce on iceberg lettuce Portion sizes also smaller than on the pictures 12 euro cocktail (their house special) barely tasted like alcohol.

We kregen een tafeltje vlak bij de uitgang. Iedereen liep daar continu langs. Erg rumoerig, maar het ergste vond ik toch wel dat ze na nog geen uur nadat we er waren of we nog snel de laatste ronde wilde bestellen. Toen die net op tafel stond kwam iemand nog vragen of we nog een toetje wilde. De keuken gaat dicht. Ze keken ons echt de zaak uit. Voor ons echt nooit meer Sumo. Wat een ongelooflijke ongezellige en asociale zaak (personeel) zeg!

We found the food mediocre, the service was excellent.

Great location, a bit messy and not so cozy at the entrance. Tasty combinations.

An oriental buffet. The food is good, especially the miso soup. The sushi is good but not very crowded. The teriyaki chicken is spectacular. The price for two adults and two children is €90 plus drinks, quite expensive. But they have the option to order from the menu, which, for example, is good for censorship.

It was a great experience. The food quality was really great. It is a bit pricey but still highly recommended

Worst sushi I've ever had. The quality is so bad, it's just like the sushi from Albert Heijn. Everything was pre-prepared, making it soggy and stale.

Super busy, waited 45 minutes for a table. The service was very slow, and the food was incredibly salty. The Sumo they serve is terrible. Never again will I eat Sumo at the Markthal.

The all you can eat is actually not all you can eat. They tell you how much you can order. And every nicer dish costs extra. Not to mention that a 0.75 l mineral water costs 7.5 euros. Crazy. We left hungry although we spent 40 euros per person.

Was quite disappointing, 5 rounds with 4 dishes per person. On the menu multiple items per dish but only 1 item is served. Toilet upstairs not a clean place. 1.5 hours of eating, not being able to sit comfortably. Completely full.

Food was very bad been to many sushi restaurants this is one of the worst we have ever eaten the fish seemed to come out of the freezer so cold rice tastes like nothing a plus service was ok never seen again for that price ridiculous

I tried the ‘all you can eat’ option at lunch time. I found rapidly availability and the place is AMAZING!! The menu of ‘all you can eat’ is reduced but everything I tried was tasty and fresh. I particularly liked the shrimp and the chicken nanban but everything was delicious, guaranteed!!

Japanese all you can eat with excellent service. This was our first time at Sumo, and we weren’t sure what to expect. We went in because we were in the mood for sushi, then found out they had all you can eat. It’s a pretty simple concept. 5 rounds, 4 items per person. They have options for everyone to enjoy and the food comes to your table before you finish taking a sip from your drink. We never waited for our food for longer than 5 minutes, or wait for our plates to be removed after we finished. The service at this place is excellent. The food itself is really good, but after a few meals, it all starts to taste the same. Sweet. Unfortunately. It’s all you can eat, Japanese cuisine at an affordable price with great service. It’s what you expect it to be.

We have been coming here for over 8 years now. Our favorite place to have "unlimited" sushi for lunch. To our surprise, the price has gone up considerably! 31 euros per person for lunch, bizarre. You can also only order 4 dishes per round and not 5 anymore. Too bad, unfortunately we find over 70 euros for a sushi lunch for two and a few drinks really exaggerated. Unfortunately, but this was really the last time for us. Is it tasty, yes, but the price-quality ratio is no longer right.

Sushi was tasty, but the service was poor. No one told us we couldn’t eat in the area where we sat — even though there were seats. Only after we started eating, the manager came and said it was for takeaway only. It was awkward and should’ve been explained earlier.

tastes bland and yesterday's and is too expensive for what it offers

Mediocre food. Keep in mind that if you go for all you can eat, a relatively large number of rolls are offered for an additional charge. The freely selectable maki assortment is quite limited. We found that quite bizarre. Furthermore, it is a restaurant where little is invested in. The toilets are falling apart from misery. We will not be coming back here.

Eating is nice like this. That bald guy with those chopsticks, a disgrace to society. Service just like Goya, very cozy. 5 rounds is far too little with such a bald fat guy, you can only have respect for that. Toilet fine, strange that the toilet bowl was wet. Dessert recommended and if you are still hungry you can go to McDonalds.

Had a delicious meal with colleagues.

You can order for 2 hours but after 1.5 hours they don't take any more orders very bad. And the mice came to bring the bill so no more sumo for me. Too bad and was also reacted so laconic so hence this review

Food quality is more and more poor every time, today was not any more acceptable Not worth it ! Also level of cleanness is very bad There was a mouse inside the restaurant

i usually return to restaurants because of their service but this place didnt really have that. We arrive for lunch. it was €30 per person. I found it a little more expensive than usual. other places i have been too are about €20-25 per person with a LARGER variety. This place didnt have much to choose fun especially from the price. a bit disappointed. We had ordered two waters and 4 pepsis. they charged us for an extra soda, on top of that one water bottle was about €9 which is ridiculous in my opinion. I think they don’t state the prices in the menu on purchase. Over all the food was not worth the quality. They give you 5 rounds and 4 plates per person which wasnt too bad. As for service, there was none. I mean it was mainly a tablet where you ordered from. Then you had the runners which were collecting the dirty dishes which I believe they did a great job at doing it quickly! they also brought out the food pretty fast as well. As for the atmosphere it was very beautiful on the inside. I personally wouldnt come back because there are other ones nearby but it was a quick option.

Got placed in the corner, the first round of food came by fast but the second round of food didn't come. After half an hour, not even a waiter came to ask us how we were doing, I called the waiter over and asked about the order, I got told originally that we ordered a lot and then a superior came and apologised that they forgot the order. Left half hungry and still paid 30€ per person.

The waitress was nice but she made us pay more because there was no orange juice but apple juice while the people behind us had orange juice

Waited for our food for 1 hour - there are better places for sushi in Rotterdam.

NOT RECOMMENDED!! When we sat down at the table, we were not even greeted. We were asked if we wanted something to drink and we did not want that yet and then the iPad was put down and we walked away... without any explanation of how it worked and without asking if we could have certain allergens. The food was so greasy that my companion felt sick. I had a very spicy sauce on a few dishes without it being mentioned anywhere... I had asked an employee if he could perhaps put in the system that our table wanted it without that sauce, to which the employee replied that that was too much work for him to do... Because of this, I actually did not dare to order other dishes because I did not know what the sauce was in. When we paid, we then got a dressing down because we had not ordered a drink and that was not allowed according to the house rules. So we had indicated that nothing had been explained when we entered, let alone greeted us, to which the employee did not actually respond... Very bad restaurant (the people next to us had not ordered a drink either, but nothing was said about that...)

Delicious food and excellent portions at a very good price

Slow slow service. Waited more than 1/2 hour for 2 maki rolls in an empty restaurant. No decaf tea…charged me 4 euros for a cup of hot water. Really????

Food came out late. Barely any fish in the rolls. Charged 4 euros for hot water. Waiters had Bad attitude. Good place to avoid.

Yesterday, seven of us went to dinner because one of us was celebrating a birthday. Two more people joined us. We were rudely approached by a colleague of yours, a young man with black glasses and earrings. It was a Monday, and the restaurant was almost empty. The food was very mediocre. All the dishes were covered in so much sauce that they were drowning in it. The flavor was very overpowering, we even received the wrong orders, and they forgot a lot of things. And that on a quiet Monday. I don't want to be mean, but the sushi from Albert Heijn has more flavor. Back when we had to enter everything manually, it tasted so much better, and the service and hospitality were also much better. This is the last time for me.

Good food but worthless bad service. Only the management speaks Dutch but you only see them after a pile of whining.

We've been coming here for years. Until about 2 years ago everything was fine. Unfortunately, things have been going downhill quickly lately. Unfortunately, the good service we were used to is now hard to find. It is also becoming increasingly expensive, while the portions of streds are becoming smaller and the quality is deteriorating rapidly. Very unfortunate.

Just good. Don't miss some special dishes that you don't have to pay for

If you don't like Japanese cuisine, then this is the place for you! Here you can get anything that a Japanese person wouldn't even put in their mouth under severe torture when incarcerated in Guantanamo. They even slather their miserably greasy Dutch mayonnaise on nigri like there's no tomorrow. The Japanese have skinned wrongdoers alive for far lesser reasons...

Good restaurant, delicious "all you can eat". Definitely recommended.

Good quality food, fresh, tasty and well cared for.

Great restaurant with quality and delicious dishes!

Is not what it was! 93 euro for 2 personne! 4 round and 8 item / round, sadly nothing was going well, you can find a better all you can eat

It was a bit crowded and we were sitting very close to others, but the food was good, the service wasn't great. I was kind of ignored, and they even forgot when I asked for extras. They didn't really look at me when I spoke to them, but I think this place is just great.

Nice restaurant but no sweet sauce, the spritz limancelo is disgusting and when you talk to the waiter about it there is no way to change it, adding sauce to certain dishes which spoils the menu a bit when you don't expect it....

Food is quite ok. But too expensive. Service is not good. "Can I have a cold sake? No, we only have warm sake." 😂 "Well, I'd like to have it before you put it in the microwave." That worked! Drinks are randomly placed on the table. Control mumbles unintelligibly. From 9.15 pm, staff asks if the deserts can be ordered already, while we are still eating and can order another round. We are halfway through the last round, the grill was already clean I think... From 9 p.m. the staff is mainly concerned with going home and not with service.

The food was fine, not too busy but also not completely cozy.

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The food was not fresh at all, it felt like the same quality as AH sushi, straight from the fridge. Even the soup was cold, and the curry chicken with rice seemed like it was leftover from the night before. The shrimp was so overly salty that I couldn’t even swallow it. For the quality provided, the prices are completely unreasonable. Definitely not worth the money. I won’t be coming back.

I didn't like it. The sushi falls apart. You have to wait over 20 minutes before someone comes to take your order. They also seat you at a table and then send you away, supposedly because it's a reservation, without warning.

What a huge disappointment. The food was simply awful. Grilled meat, sushi, fried rice. It was simply awful. And how much can you really fault with fried rice? Even the deep-fry stuff is bad. The sushi is awful, especially the sumo roll and carpaccio roll. All the chicken is tough, and the squid rings were barely chewable. The staff doesn't say anything when they bring or take away food. The atmosphere is cozy and looks nice, but with the quality of the food, I honestly don't understand why anyone else comes. And that for over 45 euros per person, excluding drinks!

There was two mice hopping around, when i asked an employee if this was a regular thing he said it was normal. Tho i do understand Rotterdam has a mice issue having them in places where food is handled is not acceptable. Furthermore Sumo has had a decline of quality over the last few years and for me this was a nail in the coffin. For a restaurant that is expensive, an all you can eat thats around 37 pp minimum, i would think its expected to not have a rodent problem. I have also attached the photo i have taken of one of the said mice.

The restaurant is located in an incredible location. The food was excellent, definitely worth a try.

I wouldn't really call it unlimited. Five rounds, with four dishes per round. Furthermore, compared to other sushi restaurants, Sumo serves two maki pieces per serving, and the photos don't accurately represent the amount you get. (For example, skewers are one piece.)

It was very cozy and delicious, the food came very quickly and the service was good, I am very happy I recommend you to come here

Quality down, price up. It's become more expensive again, and you get fewer sushi per order (1 nigiri instead of 2, and 2 urumaki instead of 3). In my opinion, it's no longer worth the price. Plus, for the best dishes, you now pay an extra €5 per person.

Delicious. We ate there as a finale to the trade fair. It was cold and quickly served, so it was awful that evening.

Al in verschillende Sumo restaurants geweest en eigenlijk altijd lekkere sushi gegeten. Ook deze Sumo in hartje Rotterdam is daar geen uitzondering op. Qua interieur is deze wel de gezelligste Sumo en wat minder kil als de andere vestigingen waar ik geweest ben. Maar dat is uiteraard een kwestie van smaak.

I was a fan of this sushi place, but this is the last time I'll be back. You can now only order 4 dishes per round instead of 5. The quantities are also smaller; previously, it was 3 sushi pieces, now you get two. Drinks went wrong twice. I even had to go to them because they wouldn't come to take my drink order. The steak wasn't tender and didn't have much flavor. The basic sushi and shrimp from the "deluxe" menu were okay. The breaded fried shiitake mushrooms weren't good, so bland. And where were the vegetables in the veggie noodles? They weren't very tasty either; I just added a little soy sauce to give them some flavor. Before the two hours were up, you were reminded to pay the bill because there were new people waiting for a table. It felt very rushed to order and eat, which wasn't pleasant. I'm definitely not starting to appreciate the concept of this, where you were in such a rush the last time for me. Too bad!

Nice experience in the Markthal of Rotterdam. We went for all you can eat and were stuffed after round 4. The food was more than adequate and lots of variety. It was tasty and the staff was friendly. Nice place and convenient ordering via a tablet. It's pricey, but that's all these days.

It was absolutely freezing there, absolutely insane. The food was okay, but the nigiri was quite thin, and there weren't many options. I don't think I'd go back. The staff was okay.

Not getting the point around! Went there several times with friends, couple of them for lunch and just once to have dinner. Lunch menu is around 27€ pp, while dinner one costs about 40€ pp, even though the menu is exactly the same but you have the opportunity to order a lower number of dishes. Why do we pay more then?!

Sumo isn't what it used to be. The service is mediocre. The menu is sparse. The staff is uninterested and wanders around like zombies. They'll suggest the wrong menu, which could overcharge you if you're not careful. The floor is sticky. The restrooms were dirty. The food was okay. I won't be back. Close this place down.

Amazing place for a date, All you can eat option is perfect, the thing I didnt get is we pay together each persoon a price 37€ , but we can only order 5 Times for 8 food. if i come alone do i pay same price for 5 times 8 food? Futher is perfect foods. But many time we had busy table, waiter doesn’t clean ur table always.. that is a bit sad about the place.. everytime u should say it, in stead of they clean it..

The all-you-can-eat ordering app is convenient, and the staff is friendly. However, you do get an hour and a half instead of two, unlike what was stated.

The sushi here is not the same quality with other sumo, it’s below average, the salmon sushi with cream cheese is replaced with mayo, seems like a tourist scam

I can only order 4 sushi per round. The sushi is also smaller. It always takes half an hour to get your first round. So, 30 minutes less time to eat. Too bad, I used to come here regularly.

Worst all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant. The website promises two hours to eat, but they enter a 1.5-hour time limit on the tablet, preventing you from ordering. The manager didn't offer a solution either. The service is terrible, and the price-quality ratio is vastly different. A real mousetrap.

Too often, the wrong order was delivered, or nothing at all. You had to order drinks more than three times, and still, it was wrong. It was a disaster. This is the second time it's gone wrong. I used to like it, but now I think it's much worse. We couldn't enjoy ourselves because we constantly had to check if we'd received everything.

Excellent, loved it , definitely returning to eat here

I really enjoyed it. We ordered 5 dishes, each with 4 dishes. They were brought to our table. There's a huge selection, primarily from Japanese cuisine. The ice cream dessert is adequate in terms of selection, but very limited in size. The service was excellent! Some dishes (like duck) weren't (or no longer) at the right temperature. The menu has been slightly revised, which is why we've lowered our rating.

I made an order via uber eats 4 days in advance but its got cancelled 30 MINUTES BEFORE DELIVERY! It was a special day for me and my plans were ruined. It was cancelled without any further explanation. I tried to call the restaurant for an hour straight and nobody picked up. Disappointed.

Things are getting worse and worse here. There's now a choice between all-you-can-eat regular and premium. We chose regular because that's what we always get. It turned out there wasn't much choice in the food, which wasn't the case before. You still have five rounds, but you can choose fewer dishes per person, and the portions are much smaller (4 instead of 5). I think the service is still okay, but you get what isn't yours; the neighbors get your food.

I can't believe this place has regulars. The sushi at a.h. actually tastes better.

Tasty but pricey but it comes with it. Well helped. We wanted to sit somewhere else and that was arranged well.
