From the OpenTable editors: At this 14-seat Mount Pleasant counter, chef Pete Ho brings his Taiwanese heritage to Japanese yakitori tradition. The omakase format centres on skewers grilled over binchotan charcoal. Expect heart, wing and uncommon heritage-bird cuts alongside seasonal fish and vegetables. The lime-washed room is minimal and the cooking is exacting, but the hip hop soundtrack and easy service keep things loose.

Yes, Sumibiyaki Arashi's intimate 14-seat counter, careful pacing, and curated wine and sake selection make it a memorable choice for anniversaries and special evenings.
Sumibiyaki Arashi feels like an intimate, sensory counter experience, a 14‑seat omakase centered on a binchotan charcoal grill, with calming design, close attention from the chefs, and a focused, well‑paced service.
Business casual is the guide, aim for neat, polished clothing rather than anything formal, and many guests treat visits as special occasions like anniversaries or birthdays.
Book the early dinner seating, the restaurant opens its dinner service at 5:30 pm (Tue–Sat) and guests say the 5:30 seating runs about 2–2.5 hours with perfect pacing.
