Here in Wichita, there is nowhere else that has better sushi than Sumo.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s kind of a mom-and-pop operation &#8212; it&#8217;s not a chain restaurant &#8212; so they must&#8217;ve gone on vacation or something.
