Known forjapaneseyakitorirobatayakisake
Sumika is a highly regarded Japanese robatayaki restaurant where skewers of premium meats, vegetables, and seafood are grilled over bincho charcoal with expert precision. The chicken thigh, pork belly, and shishito peppers are must-orders, and the sake list is thoughtfully curated. The wait can be long as they don't take reservations, so arrive right when they open.
