Sumosam

First time to eat here. Tried their Batu Ramen and Chasyu Ramen. Both are tasty and delicious. One serving is almost good for 2. Also tried their banana tempura served with 3 falvors of ice cream. All taste good, but the strawberry flavor is too sweet for me. It's a little bit pricey, but I can say that it's worth it. Definitely will come back here and try other food in the menu.👍👍👍

Just a quick meal here at Sumosam, we have Salmon Sashimi and Crunchy Tuna Roll. Meal is okay, just to satisfy my cravings for Sashimi, most specially Salmon (too obvious with all the majority of picture taken!lol).  I liked how they have generous amount of chili flakes and sauce in each of their table. Service is well coordinated and (quite) fast. The staff are also accommodating. We dined here almost closing mall hour so its nice that they still give their customer service at their best. Ambiance, somehow, the table area are expose to the mall-goers. You can be easily seen anywhere near the area of store. Verdict: Will go back and try to visit their other branch.

I've met Marvin Agustin years ago on a brokerage transaction. Am glad he has successfully staged a series of restaurants with Sumo Sam his pioneering gem.

On a quick lunch meeting we truly enjoyed our Salmon Steak with Fried rice, Chicken Teriyaki and customized Yasai Itame. Somehow it's adjusted to A Filipino palette. For a bill of less than a Php 1,000, I know we made a right pick. Hey, the Salmon is fresh and maybe you can go back for a fresh visit?

I rate this as a 3.5 because I appreciate the fact that they are trying to present Japanese food in a unique way. However, their "trying" is what kept their score low for me because I think they are trying too hard. Their presentation is great. I got excited when the food is presented to me. But bottom line, it is just the same Japanese food presented in a different way and probably with a different name.

To cap off the year, my former officemates an I decided to have a thanksgiving dinner at Megamall. We wanted to try Vikings but unfortunately, the line was so long and its getting late already so we decided to move to Sumo Sam.

Not a first timer, I was excited to get my favorites from their menu. Located at the Lower Ground Floor of SM Megamall, you can immediately see it from the escalator. When we got to the place, it was big enough to accommodate atleast 30 diners. We're seated at the area outside the restaurant, the area where we're seated was very busy.

We asked for the menu and deliberated what to eat. Here's what we ordered:

Tuna Sashimi - my officemates love raw fish! and as for me, I'm not a fan of it, yet I decided to take my own piece. The thing about it is that, you can feel the freshness of the fish, it was tasty with the soy sauce and wasabi. What I noticed with their version is how big the cut was. It was a bit bigger than the usual slice.

Spicy Caravan - my all time favorite! I love the kick of spice in every bite. The sashimi slice was very fresh, the shrimp cut was very tasty, the rice was sticky enough to keep the dish intact.

Beef Gyudon - my officemate ordered this dish. She was shocked how big the rice bowl was. She wanted the beef to be cooked a little bit more. The taste was good that she was able to taste the sauce of the beef in every bite.

Katsudon - big rice bowl good for sharing. The slice of the pork was really big! I ordered the pork tenderloin and really love how tender the pork was.

Ramen - I love their version of Ramen, it was not spicy which I really wanted. The noodles was soft, it was tasty with the pork, corn and egg in it. I love the broth used for the soup.

I've been to many Sumo Sam branches and still love their food. The staffs were a little bit lost, we asked for utensils and yet it will come after so many minutes. They accommmodated us nicely, Shell out cash is around P500-P1000 for single person.

Giving it a 3.5 just cause I love anything Japanese, but the food was so-so. Typical.
