$16.95 for Set A (chicken skewer) +$1 for the grilled saba (mackerel) Parking was a little tough, needed to go far during peak lunch hours Ambience was not loud, perfect for conversations without it being too loud Food was very delicious, some part of the garlic chicken skewer was a little salty, but if I eat with rice is not bad. Highly rec for a quick lunch read more

TLDR: Food was tasty, generous with portions of the sides, but meat portion very small. More peaceful/quiet compared to the very busy shops in the plaza. ------- 1. Atmosphere - located in a busy plaza, but is relatively slow business-wise compared to the other establishments so a nice peaceful place to eat, interior darker and a bit bare 2. Amenities - has medium amount of seating, space for parties 2-6, no booths, has a bathroom. 3. Food / Drinks - got a Skewer B box, the sides were large but the meat portion was small. Altogether was filling and tasty. read more

Tried this place out for weekend lunch and got their Bento A box with 3 varying chicken skewers, agedashi tofu, white rice, salad with miso dressing and miso soup. While the portions were big, it was quite disproportionate - huge rice and salad to smaller meat quantity. I was disappointed in the tastes of the overall palate, only the skewers were ok but have had much better ones elsewhere. Everything else was quite bland - you can see the miso is nearly clear even after mixing, perhaps a light miso soup was intentional but I personally prefer the stronger miso flavor (brown colored). With how many good options of food there are in this plaza, I'd look elsewhere. read more

[Food] Takeout - Deluxe Bento ($19.75): Got this with agedashi tofu which was alright; a bit on the bland side. Out of the 4 skewers, the chicken wing was my favorite followed by the pork belly. - Negi Tan Bento ($19.75): Got this with grilled Saba (+$1) which was good. I prefer this bento over the deluxe but not just because I am a fan of beef tongue but overall it wasn't as dry as the other meats. [Overall] - Everything was ok, but does tastes like they pre-cooked these then left them in a warmer since all the meat were on the drier side. If these were cooked fresh then they might've overcooked them. The rice could've used more sauce since there's not enough meat to be portioned with the large amount of rice. I'm also never picky with salad but I noticed their salad wasn't very fresh as a few leaves were super withered looking. I picked the yuzu citrus dressing for both bentos but it just tasted like oil. Even after mixing it, the yuzu citrus seems a bit too subtle. - I would rate this more of a 3.5 but unfortunately since I don't think I'd go back I didn't bump it up to 4 stars. read more

Sumiya Bento - (Top) Negi-Tan Bento ($19.75) w/ Grilled Saba (+$1) & (Bottom) Deluxe Bento ($19.75) - Japanese Near Me - Milpitas, California

This is my go to place for Japanese skewers bento. I have visited numerous times but often forget to give them a 5 stars for their food. Their prices is at the right price point and cheaper than dining out at a Japanese restaurant because its self served. The only thing I dislike are the stools in the dining area. I think it's on purpose as they don't want you to dine in for a long time and it's a bit easier to clean. They lack hot drinks which I think would complement bento very well w hot green tea. I have visited their other dine in Sumiya in Sunnyvale and the bento quality is comparable. Overall I would recommend coming here if you want to get quality Japanese skewers bento. I have also gotten their take outs many times as well. Still good for take outs. This is my first time having their ramen and overall quality was better than expected. Very rich soup base. Love it! read more

Swing and a miss on this one. Ordered the paitan ramen and got 1.25 cup of broth. It was a giant salt bomb, my taste buds are sizzling from the salt. I couldn't even eat it. Can't comment on service or ambiance as this was a GrubHub delivery. Maybe stick to the bento's? read more

I wonder if there's any relation of this establishment with the one in Los Altos. FOOD// - ordered negi-tan (beef tongue) and combo B: beef tongue was the best (great flavor, great chew) but overcooked; combo B was just flavorless skewers of meat... perhaps they forgot salt? - I added an additional +$1 for the salmon appetizer and it was cold as a rock... I expected torching to cause a lukewarm temperature which makes me concerned that these torched slices of salmon is just left sitting in the refrigerator for hours (and I was very afraid to try this dish due to reading reviews here of food poisoning... I am happy to report, I did not have any symptoms!) - agedashi tofu was flavorless even with the sauce but nicely fried AMBIENCE// - workers taking their lunch break - lots of 2 people groups just chowing and conversing - appreciate the number of seating and how it is not so very tightly squished together - modern and clean decor SERVICE// - Lots of to go orders - If you do not know what you want right away, you are practically ignored and have to call the person over to take the order (this happened to us). - you presumably pick up your own food at the counter after your number is called (your number is given on a receipt), the individual taking orders assisted us, I do not know if this is the norm (because I had a medical device with me) or not as we went during the lunch rush but there were only 2 other groups (one in the middle of eating and one that just arrived and ordered; therefore no idea how they obtained their food)... however, super appreciative for the help! - service is nonexistent: you have to bring your trays to the trash, separate food waste with recyclables, and place the empty "cleaned" trays on the rack OVERALL// - Kitchen is filled with Hispanics... what happened to authenticity :( Will I be back? Unlikely, but it was a good try! read more

Decent food options! I got the salmon don with agedashi tofu and the salmon with ikura (salmon roe) and rice is pretty yummy, I'd recommend. It comes with a salad where you can pick different dressings, I got the yuzu dressing but at least with the salmon don, it was a bit of a weird combo lol. Agedashi tofu was okay, not as flavorful as some I've tried. My boyfriend likes to get the chicken skewers, which I tried with the mayonnaise dip and it was really good too! It comes with rice and a salad too, and overall is plenty of food, neither of us finished the rice. I've gotten the ramen here before and I didn't love it, but maybe I'll give it another try. Seating is plentiful whenever we come too and service is pretty fast, you go to pick up your food at the counter and when you're done you put the tray and dishes on the rack next to the counter. Overall a decent place! read more

The plaza is a bit crowded even on a weekday noon due to all the other stores around but I was able to find parking in the corners. Ordered on ChowNow and pickup was smooth. The two pieces of chicken karaage (appetizer) still retained their lightly crispy texture even after almost 30 minutes. Salmon tataki (appetizer) consists of 2-3 pieces of sliced salmon cooked to medium on a small bed of something like slightly sweetened radish. The other meats on the skewers are all tender and refreshing. Would definitely recommend the negi-tan (beef tongue with special green onion sauce). The soboro rice is mostly just plain rice with some crumbled egg and ground meat but the takikomi rice with mushrooms, carrots, and some other unidentified vegetables was full of flavor, albeit a little oily. Ume miso and shiitake mushroom salad dressings were both delicious - highly concentrated and umami! read more

This meal should come with a warning: You will be hungry, plan accordingly. read more

Ok $20 for 3 skewer meal maybe seems a lot on paper but wow, I thought with the amount of rice provided and salad and even small appetizer (I chose 2 piece chicken karaage) it was actually filling. The best part is almost all pieces were perfect. The beef was tender, meatball was flavorful, chicken wings perfectly seasoned with salt. Pork is slightly tough due to inclusion of tendon - just need to cut smaller pieces. Karaage was so deliciously fried and included yummy kewpie mayo. Even salad dressing was amazing (I chose ume-miso). It was just the right amount of saltiness with a hint of sweetness from the sour plum. They have a few other salad dressings to choose from I would love to try next time like the yuzu one. The meal was ready in 20 minutes for takeout after ordering online. What a satisfying find for me - new yakitori place! read more

Sumiya Bento - Deluxe Bento - Japanese Near Me - Milpitas, California

We found this little bento place in the plaza and decided to try it out. We got Bento A and C. A skewer had all chicken (thighs, wings, and breast). And C skewer had pork belly, chicken wings, and chicken balls. Each bento box came with rice, an appetizer and salads. There were a few options for sauce too. Ordering was at the counter and food was ready in 10min. The food portion was pretty generous. Chicken skewers were super tender and nicely seasoned. The pork belly was the only one that was not tender, so I'd not recommend it. Overall it was a well balanced meal with carbs, proteins, and veggies. It was a great place for a quick lunch/dinner. read more

We're huge fans of Sumiya in Santa Clara and when we happened to be in the Sumiya Bento plaza, we just had to try it! What was ordered: + Beef tongue skewer - I see beef tongue as fairly delicate because if overcooked, it becomes fairly chewy. The beef tongue here was cooked well, not too chewy and had a decent flavor. + Kalbi with yuzu radish sauce skewer - this one was my favorite and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the yuzu radish sauce! + Chicken skin skewer - decent; it didn't blow me away but it didn't disappoint as some other places have + Pork belly skewer - this one was unfortunately on the dry side so I wouldn't recommend. I think it was a leaner pork belly that was a little overcooked. + Miso soup - your average miso soup, good to have but not a must try Overall it wasn't bad. The ordering process was simple but everything comes out at once so some of the skewers were no longer hot. read more

A quick bento stop: set up is almost like a chipotle where you line up on the side, order at the counter and pick up. I like how there are varieties of selection to mix-match. I ordered the chicken skewers set A with eggplant and Soboro rice. They are all very good. Eggplant is tender and well marinated. I love the okra and wished they offer okra as an appetizer or a la carte. read more

I was perusing on Grub Hub for a place I've never tried. Sumiya Bento looked very promising, plus I'm a fan of yakitori prepped meats. I ordered a Bento A, which included 3 types of chicken skewers: salted chicken thigh, garlic wings, and wasabi breast tender. It also came with a scoope of rice, choice of appetizer (I paid extra for grilled Saba), and a fresh salad with yuzu dressing. The bento was fine. The chicken skewers were moist and flavorful from their respective seasonings. The saba is not a filet. I spent more time deboning the fish than eating it. That said, I would consider ordering from Sumiya Bento again but get a different side instead as well as order some a la carte items. read more

Surprisingly I loved the bento! I am not a big meat eater and have been to their original restaurant. This bento spin off shop was a genius idea. The beef, chicken, and pork skewer were all perfect. I absolutely do not like dried or flavorless meat-- Sumiya Bento's skewers were delicious and cooked to perfection The agadashi tofu was not soggy, delicious, and I appreciate they put the dashi on the side. The Ontama egg was cooked perfectly Will definitely be coming back with the family! read more

Sumiya Bento - B Bento + Ontama + Tofu - Japanese Near Me - Milpitas, California

Sumiya Bento is a little offshoot from its bigger Sumiya and Gaku origins, and it can be viewed sort of like a Sumiya Express. Sumiya Bento focuses on a condensed menu that offers the best and popular items that you would want in the area without the need to drive all the way to Santa Clara. I've tried out a good portion of the offerings here, with the Bento Deluxe being a standard favorite. Otherwise, I venture around with other combos if I'm not as hungry. Customizable in different rice options, salad dressing, and a side that allows many different flavor combinations to keep things interesting. Each side is delicately prepared by the friendly staff and the casual dining room complements the meal. The Yuzu citrus dressing is my personal favorite that adds an amazing bright and fresh flavor to the side salad. Especially complementary if you decide on getting skewers that are a little more on the heavier side. Also, miso soup is complementary if you dine-in. Great value and delicious food. read more

Accidentally came near their closing time for lunch but they still accepted our dine in. Very chill space, lots of tables. Pleasantly enjoyed the bento combo. It was easy to order with 3 steps at the register and superrrr filling! I got the 4 skewers combo (galbi, pork belly, chicken wings, meatball) over a bed of rice with poached egg. The chicken wings skewer was super juicy and delicious I was surprised. The bento came with side of miso soup too which was also yummy. Definitely will come back and try other dishes. Self service for water and designated area to dispose your bento boxes. read more

Easy to find parking in a plaza and delicious bento for a decent price! Especially since they keep sending me coupons for 15% now that I've gone once haha so it's definitely a motivation. The only reason I docked a star was the ridiculous wait time. I ordered online and had to wait 20 minutes to pick it up. The guy taking orders kept picking up the phone instead of just handing out the several to-go orders that were already on the counter! Despite that, I'd still go back and try again since I'm hoping that was a one time thing. Good food makes it worth it. read more

Sumiya Bento is the real deal. It's a perfect blend of delicious and authentic flavors for a very reasonable price. They specialize in Kushiyaka, or charcoal-grilled skewers, but what really impresses me about Sumiya is the quality of the sides that accompany the skewers in the bento boxes. With every bento you can pick one of seven different appetizers, as well as what toppings you want with your rice. Even the side salad is impressive with the different dressings they offer including Ume Miso and Yuzu Citrus, both of which I can vouch for being excellent. More than your typical bento, Sumiya Bento truly feels like a multi-course meal in a box, and all for under $20 which is an absolute steal with the way prices have been going lately. When my wife and I left, we immediately started talking about when we could come back to eat here again and there isn't a much clearer sign of a five-star experience than that. read more

Straight forward walk up (order at the counter) place that serves Yakitori style bento. Select your protein (skewered meats, seafood or tofu), select your sides and rice. Seating is basic cafeteria style and they will call out your number when your food is ready to pick up. Our meats were on the salty side but tender. Overall rather pedestrian, and probably best as a quick lunch option. read more

Online order for lunch. If you order at 11:30 which is their opening time, the website will tell you that the earliest you can pick up is almost 12. And when I was in the middle of ordering, the pick up time shifted to 12:15. However, when I went to the store, it was already ready before 12:10, so not too bad for the wait on a Tuesday. We got both the combo B with one skewer of chicken, one skewer of beef short rib and one skewer of pork belly. All meat tasted chewy and hard to eat. The rice with an egg which added $1 is kid friendly and the egg plant side dish is also delicious. But overall the quality of the bento is just so so, Sumiya dine in is much better. read more

For Japanese skewers, this is the place to go! This is one of my family's staple take-out places. They have a few different combos, but we usually get Bento B or Bento Deluxe plus a few extra skewers. I really like how customizable the combos are! You get to choose from 4 different rice options that are uniquely Japanese. The takikomi one is my favorite, which has mushrooms and some meat mixed in. You can also choose from many appetizers, and we usually get the agedashi tofu or chicken karaage. You can even customize the salad dressing - I always get the yuzu citrus, which has a nice bright taste. My family usually gets extra beef and chicken skewers so we have leftovers for a couple more days. The portion is pretty large, I usually can't finish all the rice and am super full after 3 skewers! The restaurant is located in a big shopping plaza around lots of other restaurants. The parking lot is usually very busy, but it's big so no issues finding a spot. I haven't eaten inside before, but every time we go it's not too busy, so I'm sure finding a table to eat would be no problem. Definitely try this place out for a more casual, Japanese skewer meal! read more

Sumiya Bento had been on my list for a while, so I decided to stop by during a quiet lunch hour during the weekday and opted to eat inside the restaurant. It was pretty quiet with only one party eating inside and a couple to go orders in and out during the time I was there. They offer quite a few options of skewers set meals to pick from and even udon and rice bowls too. I opted for the 3 skewer pork belly meal set and chose the agedashi tofu as my side, coming out to about $20 before tip. The set meal also includes a small salad, pickled veggies, and a side of soup. You are able to pick the type of rice and for an additional dollar or two, it could come with some extra toppings. The food was ready within 5 minutes and looked very well put together. The pork belly was simple but tasty, complimented with a dash of salt and some green onions. The miso soup was loaded with seaweed and tofu, making it flavorful and hearty. I picked the wasabi mayo dressing which was really tasty for the salad. I enjoyed the agedashi tofu and the sauce that it came with as well. I think the portion was on the smaller side but the quality of the meal was definitely there. I can see this becoming one of my go to places for a quick lunch during the work week when I'm craving a well balanced and satisfying meal. read more

First time to visit this restaurant . I love Japanese skewers but i never heard it could be ordered as bento . We arrived the restaurant kind of early and there no one around . Customer just followed the steps 1/2/3 to ordered different combination we liked . I picked itemC which included porkBelly ,meatBall and wings . Noticed all of the skewers were not preGrilled , good ! The bento presentation was pretty good and The skewers were grilled well , especially the wings that I love the most . It came as salad , fresh but her rice was little too soft . One thing I noticed was that the floor / table of the restaurant was felt like "sticky". I believe it was not because of kitchen grease but it made us felt uncomfortable. The restroom was so clean by the way Will revisit there again for different items read more

I was driving around and saw a 99 Ranch market complex and hoped that there would be restaurants to have lunch. I found this location after driving around the parking lot. I really liked their bento concept where you get to chose to make your own bento. First, you choose the skewers types you want, I went to with pork belly. Second, you choose type of rice, I went with takigomi. Third, you choose appetizer, I went with eggplant. Lastly, you choose salad dressing. Everything was really tasty and good. The only negative but not too negative is that it is pricey for lunch. read more

Chipotle version of yakitori. Pretty cool concept of making yakitori more casual. You get to select your types of skewers, appetizer, rice toppings, and dressing.

I DoorDash'd the deluxe combo for dinner, and let me tell you... HANDS DOWN ONE THE BEST BENTOS I'VE EVER HAD... and I grew up in Hawaii, so that is definitely saying something. Of all the skewers, the Garlic Wings were my favorite. They were so juicy and flavorful... that garlic sauce SMACCS! The other skewers were good, but definitely paled in comparison when it came to flavor profiles. You must upgrade for the Saba Shioyaki for an appetizer, you won't regret it. If I could get a whole plate of just garlic wings and mackerel, I would. I look forward to trying the rest of the menu the next time I am in town. I can't believe I've been sleeping on this place the whole time I lived here. NO MORE GATE KEEPING! read more

I like that you get a "bento box" based on items of your own choosing - definitely beats having standard/default items pre-selected for you...but part of me do wish that you get to pick individual skewers (vs. "pre-selected" sets). The skewers were good - definitely highlights Sumiya's strength. We were kind of confused by the interior decor (MDF boards on wall) though...not exactly what we had expected from a Japanese skewer restaurant. I do like the location since it's at the 99 Ranch plaza hub, but parking can definitely be a pain depending on the time and day of the week. If we're in the area, I definitely wouldn't mind giving it another try but we wouldn't make a special drive just to eat at this place. read more

I ate there with my husband Saturday night. Only us and 3 more people were there. I go Homestead location many times. I just wanted try this location this time. But, every dish was served lukewarm.

I'm a fan of SUMIYA YAKITORI in Sunnyvale. I like this concept...a sister restaurant...more like a little sister. I hope they make it...the last few restaurants in this location didn't survive. This shopping center got hit hard during the pandemic...I remember struggling to find parking during lunch or dinner hours. Now there is plenty of parking, I reckon most of the surrounding companies are employing the hybrid work model... therefore the food traffic is not the same as before. Sumiya Bento is a fast casual venue, unlike it's older sibling SUMIYA YAKITORI. Food is tasty and portions are a good size, but it does take some time to make. I think our food took about 10-15 min to come out and we were the first people in the restaurant. All the combos are custom...pick and choose type of menu. My biggest complaint is the the strong dislike for the all plastic packaging. Bento time: ~ Bento B w/ Ontama Rice, Nasu Agebitashi & Ume Miso Dressing - 4/5 I do wish the skewers were a little bit bigger though...I feel they are on the smaller side. Eat the beef on first...doesn't taste the same when it cools down...in fact it's not good cold. Everything else was brilliant! the dressing and the sauces had great flavor. I'll be back... read more

We frequented their Cupertino locations a few times and enjoyed their food immensely, it's just a pain to get to from where I live, so I had been eyeing this location for awhile (the Sumiya sign had been up for almost 2 years). I questioned whether they were going to open their doors eventually so it was a pleasant surprise to see them on Yelp. We came for takeout lunch on a random Saturday. The menu is limited to their selection of bentos with skewers and udon. The space is large and there is plenty of seating. You order at the counter, pay, and wait for your food. The skewer combo's are sets and from there, you can customize the type of rice and side items. Overall, they do not skimp and the portions are healthy servings. Everything was super fresh and the workers were polite. Located in a busy Asian plaza so weekends will always be crazy. The good thing is, there are so many shops in this plaza that you can get lunch and dessert easily. Will definitely be back. read more

TL;DR Decent fast casual place to get a Japanese skewers plate (skewers, rice and sides). Personally love the chicken karaage and will always choose it as my side in the combo. TIP: First time online order (pickup or delivery) from here via ChowNow is 20% off! I live nearby and have gotten it twice. Enjoyed it both times, but the first time the rice was mushy and clumpy. The second time the rice was fine. I can't vouch for consistency. Deluxe skewers combo (3.5/5) - Comes with 4 skewers: beef short rib, tsukune (chicken meatball), pork belly, and chicken wings - Beef short rib was meh. Kinda dry and didn't seem like short rib? - Chicken meatball was meh. Typically I prefer whole meat, so maybe it's just me. - Pork belly was tasty, but pretty standard. My bf liked it, but I wish it was a bit more charred. - Chicken wings were juicy and nicely charred. It included the skin and bones, which I liked. Ontama rice (3.5/5) - A slow-cooked egg (onsen egg) with seasoning on rice. Makes the rice gooey and eggy, if that's your thing. Alright, nothing impressive imo. Came with a steamed okra and salty-sour purple cucumber pickles (I believe it's shibazuke pickles). Combo A skewers (4/5) - Comes with chicken breast, thigh, and wings. - Nice range of chicken - lean to fatty. - TBH I think this combo is the best option since the short rib and chicken meatball from the other combos were not impressive. Soboro rice (4/5) - Tasty. Sweet-savory ground chicken and broken up egg with a bit of veggies on top of rice. The picture on the menu was misleading since it looked like it came with raw shishito peppers as the veggie. We actually got a a bit of steamed green veggie and the purple cucumber pickles instead. No complaints! Chicken Karaage (5/5) - LOVE. Juicy, crispy, flavorful. Although if not eaten immediately, it loses some crispiness. Nothing a toaster can't fix. Tip: Squeeze the lemon directly into the mayo dip to prevent soggy chicken. Salad dressings - Tried the Shiitake, Yuzu Citrus, and Ume Miso dressing. No complaints about any, though I didn't quite taste ume in the ume miso one. read more

I love Sumiya in Santa Clara so I had to come try this place. They mainly have the set meals with choice of rice, appetizer, and salad dressing. Total came out to $40 for 2 set B meals with ontama rice, chicken karage, and wasabi dressing. Skewers themselves are definitely not as good as the other location. I liked the pork belly the most. The poached egg on the rice was very nice. A good fix if I don't want to drive all the way to Santa Clara. Nonetheless, good overall. Service - 4 / Ambiance - 3 / Food - 4 / Price - 3 read more

A great location for a Japanese style skew. Simple, easy and tasty. 1) location: central located in an Asian plaza. Lots of parking, easy to find and lots of customer traffics ( depend on the day and the time of the day) 2) Price: not pricey but not competitive price either. Guess inflation is creeping up fast. 3) Service: Not bad and not great either. Just normal staff doing their job. Not very conversational and not very chatty. 4) Quality and Taste: Quality looks good, taste is average. And the freshness of the meet is alright. Overall it's ok. Guess foodie like us became more choosy because of so many competitions in food out here. Go foodie. read more

Ordered the bento and I like that it came with 4 steps; each step allowing for different options. Step 1: I opted for the bento deluxe which came with 4 types of skewers. Step 2: I chose a rice option. They have everything ranging from plain rice to rice with a little more fluff. Step 3: I picked my appetizer. Step 4: Salad with my choice of dressing. The skewers were premade and heated up but I felt they weren't hot enough; they were lukewarm and I would have enjoyed it more if they were heated to a slightly higher temperature. They were however, well marinated and tasty. This restaurant has a lot of veggie choices for the sides and appetizers which I appreciate since I'm trying to have a more balanced diet these days. My bento came with soup and pickled vegetables. Not a bad price for lunch. Staff were nice. Simple interior and looks like they are remodeling the wall. I'd come here again for a decent size lunch at an acceptable price. read more
