I didn't know SumoSam had a mascot, haha!
Tables were already set when I got to the restaurant.
Big bento boxes were placed in front of each diner.
I opened it and saw a complete meal! This is actually the Samurai's Choice Bento (P488) which you can order only from SumoSam Gilmore.
The Samurai's Choice bento box contains Tuna and Salmon Sashimi with Kani (crab) sticks, sweet and crunchy dilis appetizer...
...steamed rice garnished with black sesame seeds...
...beef misono with yasai itame (sauteed vegetables)...
...chicken teriyaki, dory teppan, and bean sprouts... whew! There's so much food all in just one bento box. It's guaranteed to wipe out all your hunger pangs. I couldn't finish it, I think I can share a Samurai's Choice bento with my 7-year old daughter and just order some extra rice for her.
After our filling meal, cupcakes were served. These aren't part of SumoSam's menu, they were ordered especially for the occasion. :)
SumoSam president Marvin Agustin dropped by during lunch in order to welcome us and answer a few questions. I asked him how his Japanese restaurants are different from each other -- after all, aside from SumoSam he has John & Yoko and Mr. Kurosawa. Marvin told us that SumoSam is more of Japanese-American, John & Yoko cosmopolitan Japanese, and Mr. Kurosawa Japanese-European.
We had a photo opp with Marvin as well. He actually did a sushi demo later in the afternoon but I couldn't stick around to see it.
There are 5 kinds of Yokozuna Bentos and they are available only at SumoSam Gilmore from 11am to 2pm. We were served Samurai's Choice which is the most expensive one.
