" Sumiya has quickly become one of my go-to restaurants. The duck skewers are a must-try and are grilled to perfection. Each bite is bursting with flavor, and the dipping sauces elevate the experience even further. The staff is always cheerful and ready to help, making the atmosphere warm and inviting. Overall, it's a fantastic dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance at Sumiya is delightful, reminiscent of an authentic Japanese izakaya. The service was exemplary as well, with staff being friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. However, I did notice that some skewers were a tad overcooked during my visit, which detracted slightly from the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant exceeded my expectations! From the moment I walked in, the inviting ambiance set the tone for an enjoyable meal. The yakitori skewers were incredible—especially the scallops! The menu’s variety kept me interested, and I found the prices to be reasonable considering the quality of the food. I can’t wait to return and explore the menu further. " (*Curated Review*)

" Excellent yakitori restaurant! The flavors are authentic and truly transport you back to Japan. I particularly enjoy the scallop skewers—the freshness is evident. The service can be a bit slow during busy times, but the food is definitely worth the wait. Just don't forget that the portions may require you to order more if you're very hungry. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sumiya is an excellent yakitori restaurant that truly delivers on authenticity. The chicken thigh skewers are juicy and flavorful, almost reminiscent of Japan. I also appreciated how the staff were always friendly and attentive. A great place to catch up with friends, but don’t forget to include some extra skewers in your order, as the portion sizes can be on the lower side! " (*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*)
