DIY Japanese restaurants seem to be the trend at Orchard Central. Shabu-shabu buffet eatery Shabu Sai just opened in the mall, and cook-it-yourself Japanese grill Sumiya (#12-02 Orchard Central, 181 Orchard Rd.) is set to launch there in July.
Styled as a retro dining establishment, the decor of the place will feature vintage enamel signs, copper crockery and glassware, plus traditional Japanese drums and water barrels.
The restaurant will offer a choice of fish, meat and vegetables for grilling over charcoal pots. Set lunches (from $17) will be available, where diners can pick a main dish (from more than 14 options) and two side dishes (from 30 items). To round out the menu, there’ll also be deep-fried items (from $6), sashimi (from $8.80) and sushi (from $7.80). Drinks will include sake, wines, shochu cocktails and value-for-money Asahi draft beers ($4.90).
