" This place is fantastic! The variety of skewers offered is amazing, and each one is packed with flavor. I especially liked the beef tongue and the scallops, which were so fresh. The staff is supportive and quick to respond, ensuring a lovely dining experience. Be prepared for a wait during weekends, as it's quite popular, but it's absolutely worth it. I will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sumiya offers a delightful mix of contemporary and traditional elements in its menu. I tried their special skewers and they did not disappoint! Each bite was packed with flavor and authenticity. A cozy environment rounds out the experience. My only complaint was that the portion sizes were on the small side, so be sure to order a range of items to satisfy your cravings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying Sumiya, especially after hearing great things from friends. The atmosphere was pleasant, but I found the food to be decent but not stellar. I enjoyed the camaraderie of the staff, yet the prices seem a bit high for what you get. Maybe I just ordered the wrong items this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious and memorable! This is one of the best yakitori restaurants I've tried in a long time. Each skewer was full of flavor and grilled to perfection. The atmosphere is lively, and I appreciated how friendly the service was. I also enjoyed the bento options, which offered a nice variety. Can't wait to come back for another round! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who enjoys authentic Japanese cuisine, Sumiya met my expectations. The yakitori is expertly grilled with the right balance of seasoning. The unique flavor combinations from the specialty skewers are something I haven't experienced elsewhere. I wish the service were a little quicker, but the food quality makes it worthwhile to wait. I will absolutely visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fantastic dinner at Sumiya. I was impressed with the quick service and how friendly everyone was. The selections on the menu are varied, and I ended up trying a few different skewers. My favorites were the grilled mushrooms and the tender beef. Although I think the portion size should be bigger for the price, the overall experience was delightful. I will recommend this place to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Sumiya given the rave reviews, but my experience was underwhelming. The skewers were tasty but not quite authentic enough for my tastes. The service was decent; however, I felt the staff could have been more attentive. The setting is cozy, but overall, I think there are better places for yakitori in the Bay Area. " (*Curated Review*)
