Sumi Brooklyn Reviews
Our go-to delivery spot!
Great lunch deals
Solid takeout sushi
Absolutely amazing sushi.
Best food ever
Tasty sushi!
Good tasting
Was craving sushi on a random Wednesday evening, so I decided to go to place due to the high reviews. I ordered the Crunchy spicy salmon roll and the Bagel Roll. The fish was nice and fresh! The Bagel roll was my favorite!!! So delicious! The thai iced tea was a nice beverage to have on the side. The server was attentive, but I was also the only one there lol!! Additionally the bathroom was clean which is a plus! Great experience all around. Since its a small place I could see it getting really crowded during peak times! I will definitely return.
I got a two roll lunch special for $12.50 and everything was divine, even the salad and miso soup. This is officially on my weekly rotation.
Very sweet staff. Fresh and yummy sushi!
Great sushi at a reasonable price. We specially like the sushi boat and the bento boxes! The staff are always welcoming and friendly too
Очень приятный, милый суши ресторанчик! Очень вкусно! Обслуживание вежливое и всеобъемлющее, добрый, вежливый и приветливый персонал. Приятная атмосфера. Рекомендую!
味道好,材料新鲜……服务态度好
The lunch special deals were so good! It’s not pricey and perfect for a day out!
Love their sushi. I miss dining in here, but take-out is still very nice and fresh.
The lunch special is a solid deal for fresh and filling sushi. The salad and miso soup were incredible. And delivery was quick!
Such high quality fish and such fast delivery service. My go to sushi takeout place. Love you Sumi!
Great lunch specials, good quality sushi.
Good fairly priced sushi in BK.
Amazing. people need to come here more, the food is amazingly good.
Great food. Specially I have mention it’s the rice. The way to make perfect sushi is the freshness of seafood and also the rice. Um um um.
Bento Box was plentiful and delicious. I had the beef negimaki and pork katsu. Amazing stuff!
Tasty and inexpensive, nice to have a good veggie roll selection
Very solid sushi spot - not fancy, but good every time 💯
Amazing food and service !!
My go-to spot for take out sushi. Always delicious AND affordable.
Stopped by for takeout. Enjoyed the food very much and was impressed with the cleanliness and precautions taken by the staff.
Great value and good quality, especially the lunch specials
Consistently fresh and great quality fish!
Cheap and delicious lunch specials.
Best sushi (and fastest delivery!) in Brooklyn
I’m so picky about sushi and NYC does not have good affordable places but Sumi is my absolute favorite in Brooklyn. There’s only one other place in Queens I like and they compete with each other for the best. The fish is always fresh and the salad greens are always crisp.
My experience was amazing. Kevin was very hands on with the service he rendered. He made sure that we were very comfortable and he was able to make exactly what we need. I will definitely go back and also tell other friend and family about Simi restaurant. Thank you Kevin and the team for such wonderful day. Your smile was irresistible.
I just made the mistake of accidentally ordering from a nearby spot instead of Sumi… and I could tell the difference right away. SUMI IS THE BEST. The fish is high quality and fresh- even the rice tastes better. The lunch special is my favorite! (my disappointing mistake today- never again!) Sumi forever!
I’ve never been to the restaurant but i order takeout like once a week! They’re super fast and the quality is so great for the price. Thank you sumi!!!!
Quality is excellent, Every single thing was delicious, The soft crab shells were amazing, The rolls were wow, Communication went smoothly while ordering, Will definitely order again
The delivery only took 20 or at most 25 min from when I placed the order, which is 10-20 min earlier than it said on Seamless! Everything was delicious, from the Seafood Fried Rice (which had shrimp, scallops, and imitation crabmeat), to the Rack of Lamb, to the Dancing Eel Roll, their Sashimi, and their Salmon Skin Salad. Definitely worth the price. Quality is definitely great. This was ordered on a Sunday around 5 pm. Was recommended this place and was told delivery is fast so definitely a great reputation to have.
Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ambience ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Definitely a sushi place you must try if you are in Brooklyn, their hot appetizer are very very good. Must try: Rock shrimp Tataki Salmon Tataki
Best sushi I’ve had. It’s so fresh and full of amazing flavors. Every single thing we ordered was a favorite. The space is very clean and the staff is so kind and attentive.
I’ve gotten takeout and delivery here many times and it’s always great quality sushi for a decent price, kamikaze roll and dancing eel rolls are two of my favorites. The staff is very attentive and the food is usually ready within 20 minutes, love Sumi!!
Delicious sushi and our go to takeout every week. Delivery guy is always very respectful and in a happy mood!
So delicious, I keep coming back. The mushroom soup is so good it makes all other mushroom soups taste like hot water. I want to take a picture but no picture could give the flavors from this restaurant justice. 5 star 💯
The duck salad is to die for. I drive far just for this simple salad. It’s a bit small so don’t expect to be full, make sure you pair it with and entree. I love the portion and it is amazing every time!
Great quality fish for a reasonable price, delicious special rolls, great non raw options like noodles too! The backyard is current not open due to covid but when it is it is an AMAZING secret spot, always quiet and nice to eat in!
I went out to Sumi Sushi and the food was delicious and the service was impeccable.
Fantastic quality fish for the price! Triple roll combo, salmon skin hand roll, and angry dragon are favorites. Service is always great and wow their delivery is the fastest!
Such a beautiful place. People who take the order always understand what I mean, I never had a messed up order. I wish all restaurants were like that. Lunch special prices are perfect for a location like that. Thank you!!
Love ordering take out from this place, they have amazing sushi, rolls and sashimi! I probably order from this place at least once every other week! One of my favorite spots in the neighborhood, try the sumi sushi roll its stellar!
The food at this restaurant is very fresh and delicious. Every dish tastes great and you can tell the ingredients are high quality. The environment is very clean and comfortable, which makes the dining experience even better. Highly recommend this place if you want fresh, tasty food in a nice and clean setting!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – My New Go-To Sushi Spot in Brooklyn! Stumbled into this sushi spot and wow—I’m officially obsessed. I had ramen and sushi, and both were absolute hits. The ramen was rich and flavorful, and the sushi tasted super fresh, like it came straight from a chef who genuinely cares. But the real surprise? The fried banana with ice cream at the end. I didn’t know dessert could change my mood, but here we are. Pure happiness. Honestly, this is the best sushi place in Brooklyn, hands down. I’ve officially decided this is my spot for sushi whenever I’m in New York. Great food, great vibes, great everything. If you haven’t been yet… go. Just go! 🍣🔥🍜🍌🍨
Stopped by Sumi Sushi last minute before a show last night at Barclays and was so impressed by the service, the laid back ambiance and the delicious, inexpensive sushi. This place does a bunch of business on the takeout and delivery side apparently but it was great to see that they also had a few tables for groups to enjoy a meal inside the restaurant. My friend who joined me is allergic to shell fish (tough, I know), yet he was able to get a few things including the delicious dumplings while I had more chef special rolls than I could even finish. We washed it all down with two amazing bottles of sake. I will definitely be back before another show. Thanks team!
This restaurant has great food and friendly service. I would like to recommend!!👍
We had a great meal at this wonderful place. Everything was served very quickly and was incredibly delicious. We were lucky because there were very few people.
Tasty sushi, great presentation and service. Atmosphere was very nice. Glad I ate here!
Amazing food!Hard working staff!Attentive!Love the spicy edamame and the fresh sushi!
Excellent food. They open dine in now.Will definitely come back next time.
So good, especially for the price! Got takeout and everything was perfect and fresh. Service is so quick and friendly!
Excellent sushi place! Everything is surprisingly good. I ordered a takeout and it was easy and quick. It is great that they put hot and cold food into separate bags. Sumi roll is the best!

what a neighborhood gem! really good service and fair pricing. loved my maki combo
Lovely place, good prices, great service and the food was fresh and delicious. 😊👌🏼 if you haven't been, go.
Just a great spot. Stopped in here last minute on a Saturday. It was quick! I ordered the Angry Dragon and firecracker roll which was super delicious. Staff was super kind with a quiet calm vibe inside. Highly recommend this place!!
The BEST sushi in all of Brooklyn. The food is amazing for a good price. Bento boxes made right full of flavors and selection.
Very good food, would recommend, I order near my house but not as good , this has better quality then the one by the house, very good servers and service.
Absolutely the best sushi in New York. The first time I had their sushi I was really impressed, but I was unsure if it was just a fluke. I returned and yet again the same excellent delicious fresh sushi. The quality is amazing and the rolls are exquisite. I’ve even ordered at days end and it was still fresh sushi. Never a fishy bad flavor and their recipes are delicious. Try their ramen as well it’s amazing. Moro (I hope I got the name correct) was an amazing server. Polite friendly and eager for the business. With so many sushi options out there I’m glad they take the time to have good customer care because that’s what really sets a place apart. Keep it up. Looking forward to returning. As far as dining in it’s a bit small but definitely doable. However I recommend ordering out. They are on all the food apps and take orders over the phone as well.

Good sushi, nothing crazy fancy. But quick service and lots of options. Not overpriced like many of the park slope sushi places.
Decent price for good sushi. Ordered multiple times and never had any issues.
Great food sushi cuisine bar and drink eat in and take out great experience
12/1 back for dinner. This time i went with chicken katsu and sashimi for my bento box selections. It was really good. Service was great 11/11/25 finally back, used to eat here before 2020. Still a great place. Friendly and fast service. Great sushi and plenty of non-sushi choices. Work dinner, we all got the bento box. I had the salmon teriyaki and sashimi (+$1) it was good. Next time will try pork katsu for one of the selections.

This is my go-to lunch special in the area! Great standard sushi with really great rice to sushi ratio. BUT! The one thing that bothers me is that they charge extra for spicy mayo on the side (which is fine!) but then they forget it every single time i order out! So if you order take out and get extra spicy mayo, make sure that they actually put it in your order! I wouldn’t care, but this has happened twice and i don’t want to pay extra for something that never comes! Really hope they resolve this one issue because otherwise they are perfect!
It’s not bad for the price!
Decent sushi but not as good as before. Bland miso soup and was served brown ginger that tasted bad.
I was shocked to see 3 rolls for $16 on the menu... until I got the rolls. It was the saddest sushi I've ever seen. The thin layer of rice was barely sticking to the seaweed, and some of the pieces had <25% fish. I'm really hoping I can trust that A health rating in the window...

Ordered at a regular time (hours before closing), had my order accepted and then later it was cancelled out of nowhere without explanation.
Yikes. The tuna and salmon were not fresh. Odd tasting and had a slightly strange smell.
Food no good as well no dine in google needs to fix that they do dine in they don't
Employees are very rude. My card was used fraudulently at this store. I called and told them a purchase was made and I’d like to know who. I was told he could not tell me because they have no access to credit card records and they don’t ask for id when placing orders. I told him I had my card on me so someone would have to have typed the numbers . Before I could finish speaking he hung up. Seems as though maybe the worker used my card. Who knows. Very rude. Will be contacting back and filing police report.
I got food poisoning at this restaurant and an item that I bought on their menu was misleading and false. I ordered a spicy crab roll, bento box, and a cucumber roll. I had severe stomach cramps and diarrhea. The spicy crab roll was made of immitation crab, not real crab meat. Immitation crab meat is processed and made out of pulverized fish and food coloring. Cross contamination is clearly prevalent in their kitchen since someone else made a review about this before on Yelp
Really poor quality sushi. Ordered in seamless. First of all, the smell. The smell was…pungent, to say the least. I ordered tuna and salmon. Both were discolored, poorly assembled, and (most disgustingly of all) flecked with green that was certainly not wasabi. Pictures, attached, are worth a thousand words.

I used to love this place but after biting down on a STAPLE in my sushi, I’m out.
