【Sydney Food】Sushi Suma

If we’re having a “value for money” competition for all the restaurants in Sydney, Sushi Suma will definitely make the top of my list. The value comes from the authentic taste and high quality that’s un-compromised by the generous portion of servings.

We walk in Sushi Suma starving and walk out utterly satisfied, every, single, time.

This is the Chef’s Suggestion (dinner) menu I downloaded from there website. We always order these sets as they represent the most value. The choices on the Chef’s Suggestion menu include a great combination of food that makes everyone happy. My favourite is the teriyaki beef set.

Agedashi tofu (included in the Chef’s Selection set).

If you ask the waitress, she will tell you one Chef’s Selection set is usually shared between two people. However, from experience, the food is plenty for 3 girls to share.

During our most recent visit, we had two guys and two girls, so we ordered one Chef’s Selection set + one udon + one kaiso salad + one yakitori + sashimi main (for the record, we ordered way too much because we were starving). One thing you will grow to love Sushi Suma is their generosity. The Chef’s Selection menu shows one single agedashi tofu and ice-cream in the picture, however, they were kind enough to give us 4 of each so we don’t have to fight over them!

I’ve been here several times, and they always try to match the agedashi tofu and ice-cream for the number of people on the table no matter how many Chef’s Selection we have ordered. We, of course, wouldn’t want to take advantage of their generosity, so we usually would order something on the side if we plan on sharing the Chef’s Selection between more than 2 people. Win-win.

Cream crab croquette (included in the Chef’s Selection). Perfectly deep-fried croquette that’s crunchy on the thin outer layer and creamy on the inside.

 

Sashimi (included in the Chef’s Selection) vs Sashimi main, $16.80.

Teriyaki beef (included in the Chef’s Selection). One of the best! It’s seasoned just right, not too sweet and not too salty.

Ice-cream (included in the Chef’s Selection).

The restaurant itself isn’t very big. Be prepared to wait for a table if you come during rush hours. We came at around 8:30pm on a Saturday night and waited about 20 minutes for a table!

Kaiso salad, $8.80. You will be amazed as to how big this salad is. It’s my favourite seaweed and cabbage salad!

Speaking of their generosity, there was once that I had to order a Kaiso salad to take away because I was in a rush – I couldn’t believe it when I saw the takeaway box because it’s so huge! I like how they make the effort to try and match the portion of their dine-in dishes with their takeaways. I was very impressed.

Tempura udon, $15.80. Very nice stock.

This was a photo of the pork katsu we ordered as part of a Chef’s Selection meal once. Can you tell how humongous it is?!
