Sushi Pig-Out
Posted on July 16, 2004 by Ching under Food and Drink.
Brian and I had another sushi pig-out session last night. If we had our way, though, we would drive all the way to Kansas City and pig-out with sushi from Kona Grill. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. Here in Wichita, there is nowhere else that has better sushi than Sumo.
Last week, we were craving sushi. We decided to go to Sumo, only to find out that they were closed. They closed for a week and half for Fourth of July holiday. It’s kind of a mom-and-pop operation — it’s not a chain restaurant — so they must’ve gone on vacation or something. Felipe’s Jr. does that “we are closed for two weeks” stuff all the time.
We ended up at Hana Cafe because we didn’t know anywhere else that served sushi. It’s just not the same. It’s nowhere near Sumo calibre and it’s not even in the same galaxy as Kona.

When we went out to eat at Sal’s (another Japanese hibachi steakhouse) for Misty’s birthday, I found out that they serve sushi there. Brian was upset when he found out because I think he would’ve gone. They’re not even as good as Hana Cafe, though. And your sushi choices are very limited.

Brian tried to get us some sushi from Sumo on Tuesday but he said it was very busy. I guess everyone who tried to go the week prior thought of going that week to get their sushi fix. Sumo is never busy on weekdays. I’m thinking that the closing for a week thing was a marketing ploy to rejuvenate interest in their restaurant. LOL! Anyway, Brian ended up bringing me PF Chang’s for dinner instead. Which is good, too.
We finally got our Sumo sushi fix last night. The financial damage wasn’t too bad. But, I must say, Kona gives you better quality sushi and more quantity for the same price. We really have to go there again sometime.
