This new spot for sushi and hibachi will open near Columbia. Check out where
A new spot with Japanese flavors is headed to a growing area near Columbia.
Sumo Sushi & Hibachi Grill is coming to 1100 Dutch Fork Road suite H in Irmo. There is a banner hanging on the front of the building announcing the restaurant is “coming soon,” as well as a large poster hanging in the window touting the same. There are city building permits posted in the window, and construction was ongoing when a reporter briefly went by Wednesday morning.
The restaurant is coming to a busy and growing area along Dutch Fork Road. It will be in a shopping strip that includes a Pizza Hut, an El Charro Mexican restaurant, a Coco Bowlz and several other businesses. There is a Walmart Supercenter next door, and a host of other national businesses are located nearby, including an Aldi that opened in 2023 and a Whataburger that debuted last year.
About 28,000 cars per day travel down that stretch of Dutch Fork Road, per state Department of Transportation data.
Sumo Sushi & Hibachi also has a location at 7510 Garners Ferry Road in Columbia. That location’s menu features a host of sushi rolls and special rolls, including the deep-fried Godzilla Roll that features spicy tuna and avocado and is topped with snow crab, spicy mayo and eel sauce. It also has hibachi plates with chicken, shrimp, steak and more.
An opening date for the Irmo Sumo location hasn’t been publicly announced.
