Sisters Wendy Li and Yan Zheng officially opened their Sumo Sushi the address is technically 337-41 Broad, but the entrance is just east of Broad on Pine Street yesterday. The space, wedged right between a Starbucks and a parking garage, is small, but looks to capitalize on local workers, theater crowds and UArts students alike with delivery, a BYO policy and some solid pricing (specialty rolls top out at $14.95; their "Happy Lunch" deal features your choice of three rolls, plus miso soup). Check out the menu after the jump; as an opening special, Li and Zheng are offering 10 percent off your bill throughout the month of August. Hours: Mon.-Thu., 11 a.m.-10 p.m.; Fri.-Sat., 11 a.m.-11 p.m.; Sun., noon-10 p.m.

Looks like a cute place for a quiet sushi lunch! Hope you have your golden "maneki-neko" cat place near the register! What menu item is the pride of the head chef?
