SUMINOCO

This place absolutely amazed us and exceeded our expectations! We went in not really knowing what we would get but thinking the place looked cute- the food ended up being just absolutely insane! Highly recommend if you’re in the area for dinner. They have an English menu and the QR code order makes ...it extremely easy. The food was delicious and blew us away. The pork is a must try! We took a guess with the ginkgo nuts and fu not knowing what they were and wow we were obsessed we had to instantly order many more. There were many grilled vegetable options if you do not eat meat as well. You also get sat in a cute little booth that felt quite private and very comfortable.

Lovely Japanese tapas style menu. We had loads of small dishes and each and every one was delicious! We had beers and wine too and the total bill for 4 of us was only 12,000 yen. An absolute bargain! Well worth a visit. Booths downstairs and floor seats upstairs.

We didn’t make any dinner reservation on Saturday night so got kicked out by several good restaurants consecutively. Luckily we got a table here in the end. All the food and drinks that we ordered were good! I usually can’t drink any alcohol but their century-old plum wine on the rock was so good!... Don’t miss the dessert - wasanbon sugar pudding which was the best pudding that I ever had! They also provide a very detailed English menu! Good ambiance and with good jazz music. No-smoking area so we could fully enjoy the dinner without catching any stink. Just perfect! Highly recommend this place!

We went in because very tired of going around looking for a restaurant. All nice places were already fully booked and when we found this one that appered nice from outside we decided to give a try. We checked the comments on tripadvisor and, as most of the places around, there were only few comments... (only 3!) but all excellent... it was a bit bizar....but we decided to be positive. HUGE MISTAKE! It was quite terrible dinner. And also a bit expensive for the little food we 'd got. We lost the chance of having some special food of the area for the only night we spent in kanazawa. What a pity! We ordered the small brochettes of chicken (5 pcs) but we were not happy with the kind of meet we got. Fried tofu (2 pcs) far too oily. Grilled vegetables too oily again and nothing special. Beer and coke. For about 5000 yen in total.

We just returned from a wonderful meal at Suminoko. We went in because the menu seemed interesting and was presented in English as well as Japanese. Some of the offerings seemed interesting so we ordered a variety of entrees, and all were superb. The flavors were rich but not overpowering, and th...e portions allowed us to enjoy several different offerings. We highly recommend this restaurant
