Sumiya Japanese Restaurant

One of my favorite japanese restaurants in town. It’s a nice casual place to just relax and grab some food. Tried the nabeyaki udon and it was so good! The home made udon is nice and chewy, but thinner than typical udon. Definitely recommend!

Sumiya is definitely one of the hidden gems in town! Siapa sangka, di STC Senayan terdapat restoran Jepang autentik yang menyajikan berbagai macam hidangan Jepang yang lezat? Diantara beragam sushi dan sashimi di Sumiya, salah satu yang bisa kamu coba adalah Spicy Tuna Roll (53K). Tuna yang digunakan potongannya sangat tebal dan fresh, cocok berpadu dengan saus spicy mayo yang memberikan kick of a flavor!

Sumiya serves honest and authentic Japanese food that will please any lover of this genre. I came with my wife to order their special lunch set. We decided on the Kara-kara Nabe set and Gyu Momoniku Roast set, both are accompanied with a round of appetizers, side dish to complete the mains, followed by desserts. Overall, every dish served was well presented and taste delicious. The main dishes were exceptional, with the Gyu Momoniku almost bringing me to tears. Maybe because you can taste that every ingredient was handled with the care and attention level that every good Japanese dish deserve.

I love coming to this place! The food is always excellent! I even had my first date in this restaurant. But this evening the food was very disappointing... they had this deep fried sea eel with bean paste sauce, which only had two tiny slivers of unagi (eel) in it. You could barely taste it. The dish consisted mostly of vegetables and bean paste and hardly any eel. Also the sweet omelette was not as sweet as before. So the food was not consistent and quite disappointing this evening. This will definitely impact my decision to go here again. But nevertheless I'll give it a four star because I've had at least two good experiences in this restaurant t prior to this evening. Hopefully they can improve their standards.

Great little gem of a restaurant that's highly frequented by the local Japanese crowd. Have a very affordable set lunch with a starter and two main dishes as well as soup, salad, rice for idr130k. Have to try their grill also which it is well known for.
