Reviews
Really impressed with Sumiya! The £24.5 all-you-can-eat menu is amazing value. Everything arrived fresh, especially the sashimi, sushi rolls and tempura. We actually planned to order multiple rounds, but ended up feeling full after just the first round because the portions were surprisingly generous. Definitely not one of those AYCE places that serve tiny portions. Beautiful interior, friendly staff and delicious food. Will definitely be back!
Great atmosphere and staffs are attentive and friendly. We had the all you can eat menu, in summary the best dish is the Unagi rice, thick and juicy. The sushi are alright, had very thin slices on them, would recommend getting just the salmon avocado rolls, the other ones are not worth getting, has a lot of rice and stuffed with crab sticks. Wish we could get more sashimi, but limited to one order per person. For starters, get prawn tempura which comes with mixed vegetables like courgette and squash. Takoyaki was good, but can find some without all octopus filling. The cocktails are 99% juice I’m pretty sure, very sweet and little alcohol in them. Best one is the passion fruit. Note: found a fly in the edamame, staff was apologetic and offered to bring a new one. Overall a pleasant dining experience for the Unagi rice, we were stuffed with rice afterwards.
tried their all-you-can-eat menu (£24.50 per person), which is excellent value if you’re craving unlimited Japanese food. They also offer a reduced price for children under 1.2m. We ordered a huge variety of dishes, including appetizers, sashimi, sushi rolls, salmon teriyaki with rice, and more. The appetizers were definitely the highlight of the meal. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavour. The sashimi and sushi were both good, although they didn’t stand out as much as the starters. I also really enjoyed the salmon teriyaki with rice, but I’d recommend eating it as soon as it’s served while it’s still hot. For drinks, I tried the Mango Cocktail, Lychee Yakult, and Passion Fruit Lemonade. They were enjoyable, but I think the drinks could be improved a little to match the quality of the food. Overall, for £24.50, it’s hard to complain. The variety is impressive, the portions keep coming, and it’s a great place if you want to enjoy unlimited Japanese food without breaking the bank. I’d happily come back!
Amazing find in Shoreditch. £24.50 AYCE Japanese, but doesn't feel cheap at all. Sashimi is fresh, prawn tempura is huge and crunchy, and you can order as many rounds as you want. Service is fast and friendly, no rushing. The space itself is beautiful – high ceilings, big windows, lots of natural light, very instagrammable. They also have karaoke booths if you want to make a night of it. Highly recommend for groups or even just a solo feast. Make a reservation though – it gets busy!
Really enjoyed this Japanese buffet! The food was fresh, tasty and had a good variety, especially the sushi, hot dishes and desserts. The staff were friendly and the restaurant had a nice relaxed atmosphere. Great value for money and perfect for lunch or dinner with friends and family. Would definitely come back again!
