Called and made a reservation for 8:30 pm, last night (2/22/09). Arrived at 8:30pm, stood at unattended hostess station for 10 mins and surveyed many other parties waiting in the lounge area. A group of 6 got up and mentioned that they were told it would be a 5 minute wait... 30 minutes ago. Eventually asked one of the wait staff to please get the hostess to the stand as there were others reservations arriving and we were all still standing at the door waiting for a hostess. Finally gave up and left after standing there for 15 mins with not a hint of a hostess to check us in. Left restaurant and went elsewhere. Bad impression, bad customer service.

Enjoyed our Valentines Dinner there. There was a couple things that could REALLY improve the place and that would be a little more organizing for the seating and we had to wait quite a while to get a drink. Definetly needed another bartender!!!

A co-worker is somehow related to the owners of Sal's. I have taken the family twice... and both times was sorely disappointed. First of all - this is not 'hibachi' cooking. A hibachi is a cast-iron charcoal grill - not gas under a hot steel plate. Having lived in Japan - I'm under the impression that there are no 'Japanese' people running or cooking at the restaurant. This doesn't mean a thing, other than it was something I noticed. The 'show' by our latino chef was mildly amusing. He had no special skill. The food was over-priced and horrid by Japanese standards. everything was over-sauced or over-oiled. He used so much soy - we were bloated due to salt consumption the next day. On the first visit, the kids wanted their meat 'plain' and the chef ignored our request and loaded it up with soy sauce. I realize that Sal's was arguably the first 'Japanese Steakhouse' in Wichita - but how it has survived this long is beyond my comprehension. I am generally very tolerant of restaurants, because I know the challenges that they have... this place is pretty bad.

My friends and I go here every payday like a ritual! The chef's have awesome presence and the prices are really good for a hibachi grill. They even offer sushi fo the real asian fanatics among us! Awesome food and awesome times!

Here's the place for Hibachi food. My girlfriend and I have tried several Japanese Steakhouses around town, and while we may try others since we've been to Sal's, we always return to Sal's. We compare them to Sal's. Always prompt seating, Fun, flamboyant chefs, and ample amounts of great food.

The food at Sumo is very good! It is a nice place to go for a special occassion. I have kids, but would prefer to go without them because it is a more grown up place to dine. I always go early and have never called ah

While other reviewers seemed to like this place, I can not recommend it. It's supposed to be an asian version of a fast-food restaurant, I suppose, but I don't really recall there being anything asian about the interior

This place Rocks my Sox Off...I don't think that I ever went to a better restaurant. I'll just say that my experience there was one to remember.
