Even though there is no question here, yes the hostess staff is rude, the wait staff is also depending on who you get. The place is dirty and the last time I went there was a major problem with my order and manager did nothing about it. Better options in the area and Wichita in general.

Save your money and go to a place that actually appreciates their customers.

They do not take reservations at Sumos its first come first serve

They do allow call in for carry out. I picked up sushi last night, and they were very rapid to answer the phone and they had my order ready within minutes of me arriving. I have never had an issue with them answering the phone even to call and ask about wait times.

We have always requested our favorite chef there, even though they say that you can't.

It depends on what night your going. During the week, you can just about show up and they'll seat you quickly because 12 would be a full hibachi table. Friday or Saturday night, a couple hours notice would be plenty

I was told yesterday that they do not take reservations.

It's a very entertaining and sometimes comical food preparation directly in front of all guests seated at the table/cook top. Have your camera ready for the fire show. Impressive.

8 comfortable I couldn't imagine 16.
