Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"We had lunch here and the place was actually nice. The food was okay, there were lots to choose from. I also liked their cheese. Their service was fast and consistent as well but the serving per plate is too small - it's tiring to order many times Flavor-wise, I still prefer Samgyupsalamat tho but worth a try"
"The sidedish plates are small which is good. The staff needs to check the submitted form if there is a table number though because i had no clue and where to find the table number."
"Had a great time at Sumo Niku Ayala Central Bloc! The grilling experience was fun and satisfying... Perfect for a slower, more intimate meal. As someone used to big buffet spreads, this felt refreshingly personal. Great food, cozy vibe, and friendly staff. Will definitely be back!"
"sumo niku offers best pork and beef with unlimited cheese. in overall experience in unlimited is quite fascinating the crew is very responsive and kind.The food was good but there was little serving of each plate so you needed to order a lot every time"
"food attendants were quick to serve our group. the orders were served in a short wait. the food choices were good and fresh. drawback from the place was the smoke from the grill stuck to my shirt. anyway the dining experience was good."
"Sumuniku is a great spot for meat lovers! I especially love their marinated beef — flavorful, tender, and perfectly cooked on the grill. It’s definitely the highlight of the dining experience. The downside is that the area feels a bit dim and dark, which can affect the overall ambiance. They also only offer a few side dishes, so I hope they can consider adding more variety in the future to complement the meats. Overall, still a satisfying place if you’re craving good quality grilled meat."
"been here 3 times, all times service and food was perfect. last time when i was there i was informed before about ac problems before entering, they even let me to check how is air inside and reminded that its hotter when cook pot is on."
"I have seen a lot of bad reviews here about this restaurant, however we went here on July 20 2025 (it wwas a weekend too) and yet I felt the opposite with the reviews I have seen. • We arrived around 4:45-5:00pm so it was before the usual dinner time and we were catered immediately and given a table. • We were first served with the sauces and we were told to fill out the request or order form for us to have the stuff that we want. • YES. It's true that the portions served are small but for me, that is a very good sign because more food served means more chances of having leftovers and we cannot afford that since we are still students. You can still submit an order form again if your food runs out, I don't. see any problem with it. • The only thing I can't give a five star of, is the service. Yes, it's fast but when you have your order form in your hands, they just grabbed it out and not say any word. I don't know what I expected but it really startles me when they grabbed the paper out when I'm still cooking on the other hand. Overall, I love the experience here and I would probably go back. You can get a lot of options for only ₱599 per person. I have seen others' prices and they are way more expensive and only offers pork options. Here you can get chicken, beef, AND pork."
