SUMI, a vibrant Japanese izakaya-style restaurant by chef-owner Jason Lee serves up charcoal grill-focused dishes in style with bar stools circling the open grill and casual Sapporo crate seating - perfect for a relaxed lunch with friends or a lively after-work hangout.

Expect skewers of surume ika (squid), king prawns, and hokke (mackerel) flame-grilled to perfection. Signature dishes like the irori yaki unagi (flame-grilled eel), charcoal-grilled lamb chop and beautifully plated sashimi showcase the menu's bold and smoky character. Pair it all with a curated sake list, refreshing hi-balls or an ice-cold Sapporo for the full izakaya experience. 

It’s the perfect spot for a laid-back but elevated dining experience, especially if you love Japanese flavours with a bit of theatre and fire.
