Curious about the viral 100k BBQ buffet in Surabaya? Mr. Sumo offers an all-you-can-eat feast of BBQ and hotpot with a huge variety of choices, from Saikoro Wagyu to Korean spicy chicken feet. While the value is a massive draw, be prepared for a smoky atmosphere and potentially slow service. This review gives you the full scoop on whether it's worth the hype, plus essential tips on booking and what to expect before you join the queue.
Girls, recently a Japanese BBQ buffet in Surabaya has been all over my feed, claiming that for just over 100k per person, you can enjoy both BBQ and hotpot freely! Doesn't that sound incredibly tempting? Coincidentally, I had a dinner date with a friend, so we decided to check out this legendary Mr. Sumo to see if it's truly Mantap or just a scam.
Full of lively atmosphere, but be prepared to be"smoked"
The moment you step in, that strong, lively atmosphere hits you. The whole restaurant is bustling, filled with the sizzling sound of BBQ and the laughter of friends gathering, it really has that local Indonesian Nongkrong feel. All tables are equipped with exhaust pipes, but during peak hours when it gets crowded, the oily smoke smell is still quite strong, and it's a bit hot[1]. Thinking of wearing a beautiful fairy dress to dine? I'd advise you to think twice, otherwise, you'll walk out smelling like a moving BBQ skewer 😂.
The food selection is indeed plentiful. A long row of buffet counters, from various marinated beef slices, chicken, to seafood, sushi, fried cooked dishes, and ice cream desserts, it's a dazzling array[2]. Their officially recommended Saikoro Wagyu[3] diced beef and Korean spicy chicken feet Dakbal Korea Pedas[4] are both available, with unlimited supply. As for the taste, you get what you pay for, you know. The meat quality and freshness are commensurate with its price; don't expect it to meet high-end Japanese cuisine standards. For example, the squid I had didn't feel very fresh[5], but overall, considering the variety you get for this price, those who prioritize value for money should love it.
Expectations are high, but reality...
Okay, let's get real. The biggest drawback of this place is its service and efficiency. After we sat down, it took almost 20 minutes just for the staff to prepare the charcoal grill, and the total dining time is only 90 minutes, so that already took up a good chunk[6]. Anjay!
Moreover, refilling dishes during peak hours is really slow! Especially the beef section, it's often empty. When they finally refill it, it's instantly snatched up[7]. If you want to eat your money's worth, it really depends on your hand speed and luck. So if you're a pure carnivore who can't live without meat, be prepared for queuing and waiting.
