[CLOSED] Sumiya Charcoal Grill Izakaya (Orchard Central)

Forever and always! I have no idea why they left, any ideas?

Not sure why they would serve on a plate and not a bowl, as it does not look as presentable. I have also tried the Wagyu beef at the outlet in suntec, so I can compare this against that, and I have to say the suntec one beat this hands down.

However do try the sashimi or the kaisen don, it is really really good. The set also came with chawanmushi (not available in suntec outlet) and a matcha mochi.

Value for money with good quality fish and Japanese mochi! Really pleased with this place. And their sets are filling in a just-right way 🍱

Price hikes are such a bummer. Gone are the affordable lunch sets that come with frills like salad, miso soup, and dessert—those are now chargeable add-ons on top of each a la carte lunch special.

The upside is that the rice bowls are now flavoured with okaka bonito flakes and sweetened soy sauce, which really makes every bite so tasty. The sashimi cubes are fresh as usual, and I highly recommend getting the truffle option. The truffle paste is so good you might be tempted to order another serving (10g for $3, but oh-so-worth-it).

(No queue somemore) We ordered the Salmon Ikura Don set ($18.80++) and Mixed Bara Kaisen Don set ($20.80++). All lunch set comes with salad, prickles, chawamushi, miso and Mochi! So value for money! Salmon don are more generous whereas bara kaisen don was very small portion. Both are equally fresh and good but I would recommend salmon ikura don over the mix bara kaisen don for the quantity! 👍: 5/5
✔️Will I go again? Definitely during lunch hour!

Sumiya's Salmon Ikura Don Lunch Set @ $19.80 (excl GST and Service Charge)

With its generous portions of fresh sashimi on top of freshly made sushi rice, Sumiya has definitely become my go-to restaurant to satisfy my cravings for some good Japanese food. The lunch set menu is quite affordable as the rice bowl also comes with sides of Chawanmushi (delicious egg custard, but could've done with a pinch more salt) and a side salad topped with delicious sesame dressing (which is actually rather refreshing and helps you not get sick of the chunks of fish). The set even comes with dessert of Matcha Mochi which was a nice end to the glorious meal. 10/10 from me! :)
