Sumiya Gin - Perth

An absolutely excellent find at the far end of William St. I nearly couldn't find it then saw a huge puff of smoke leave the door as someone went into the tiny spot. I walk past it constantly and never noticed - I'm really glad my friend recommended it! Great staff, very friendly, and cute little buckets under the table to keep your stuff clean and organised as is typical in Japan. The menu is good, with various cuts of stunning quality meats and free refills on your coleslaw - everything I had here was so tasty we could have stayed all night. The takoyaki were so fresh and yummy, the karaage chicken were nice too but definitely make sure to order the coleslaw as you do need something fresh after all the meats. We had so many types and all meats were scrumptious - the wagyu, ox tongue, chicken, pork - everything. I love the neat little vaccuum tube to keep the smoke clear and I'm definitely planning a return. Loved it!!

This is certainly a case of quality over quantity. You can definitely get larger portions elsewhere but the quality of meat they serve here is worth every cent. Add the fragrance of the charcoal it's cooked over and you have a winning combination! Having the flat rate for salad also helps make this a reasonably balanced meal. I recommend asking for the spring onion dipping sauce to go with the meal.

I've been a few times for dinner, meet quality is okay but I think it's really small for the price. You need a booking before you go. Always crowded even during the week.

The bbq was great and is served at cosy tables over charcoal grills. It was packed on a weeknight so book ahead. We sampled waygu loin, premium ox tongue, teriyaki seafood mix, soy chicken, mixed veggies and miso. The favourites were the tongue and sausage, but the miso was fairly bland. It was byo so we shared sake.

Very small japanese bbq restaurant with nice selection of quality meats. It can get pretty expensive but definitely satisfying if you know what to order. Definitely worth returning again.
