Sumomaya is a large, trendy restaurant featuring fusion of Mexican-inspired cuisine with Asian (primarily Korean, Thai, and Japanese) influences. We came here for lunch, but I can see how this place would be excellent for happy hour or a casual dinner. The menu has a broad range of dishes, ranging from $4 to $140 (24-oz Tomahawk steak and jumbo half lobster). Plenty of bar seating and large TVs, so it can function as a sports bar too.
Overall, I think the flavors worked for me. I saw folks around me ordering sushi rolls, but we mainly stuck to the hot entrees:
Pork Belly Ramen was excellent. Super tender and flavorful pork belly, plenty of chewy noodles, and a lighter, miso-like broth that's drinkable. It came with a soft-poached egg too. (5 stars)
The Chaufa Rice reminds me a bit like hot stone bibimbap, but with baby shrimp and spanish chorizo mixed in with rice and chipotle hoisin sauce. The menu claimed it had crab and carnitas but I can only taste the latter. Pretty good dish as the flavors worked, but its slightly on the sweet side. (4 stars).
Mexican Street Corn was a bowl of grilled, spicy corn kernels with some spicy mayo, cotija, and lime. It was topped with some popcorn as a bonus. (4 stars)
Caramelized Plantains were excellent - plump, crispy outside and soft inside and really hot. The sherry vinaigrette sauce paired well. This side dish can be a healthy dessert (5 stars).
A solid 4.5 star bumping up to 5 stars for the fun environment and great service.
