Dining at Sumika in downtown Los Altos transports you from a small suburban town in the Bay Area to the yakitori joints found all around Japan. Plus, the restaurant serves the best chicken karaage in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Lunch at Sumika offers a limited menu, mostly consisting set selections, including donburi (rice bowl), the most popular sides, and salads. For under $20, you can have a complete and satisfying lunch along with soup, salad, pickles, and even a beer.
Lunch at Sumika is like an amuse bouche to the dinner menu. In the evenings, the kitchen expands the menu to include small plates to share and yakitori from the bincho grill, which is how they also grill in Japan to create a depth of flavor.
