When sandwich meets Japanese food, what do you think? After trying out this fresh combination at Sumo Sandwich, Berjaya Times Square, I am telling you, “It is heavenly delicious!”
Sumo Sandwich is a Japanese cuisine feats sandwich, a newly startup sandwich stall, located at Berjaya Times Square. Sumo, is an icon of Japan, which is big in size. And hence, don’t be surprise to see their huge size, well-stuffed sandwich. There are two dining area, the area near the order counter is limited, thus, only able to put few two-seated dining table. If you are visiting Sumo Sandwich with a group of people, you are recommend to sit at the opposite area, which is outside the stall.
Further, Sumo Sandwich offers their own recipes bun; hence, you can find 7 types of bread here which are pumpkin, bamboo, tomato cheese, chili, seaweed and multigrain. Meanwhile, the fillings provided are chicken katsu, chicken teriyakai, tuna tamago and mushroom kakiage. To make sure every ingredient is fresh, Sumo Sandwich will only prepare everything few hours before they open for business. All crews are well-trained, most are students from culinary art; thus, they have certain knowledge on preparing the ingredients.
FYI, patrons are allowed to customize their own sandwich, with any choice of bun, fillings and sauces. However, because it is still new trend in Malaysia, the editor chief of Sumo Sandwich has recommended the following match. The first matching is Tuna Tamago with Bamboo Bun. Served together with tuna and tamago sauteed with torched cheeddar cheese and ebiko, this bun was my favorite buns among all. The tuna was filled in every bites, together with the tamago, it was so tempting.
Tuna Tamago with Bamboo Bun @ RM13.90
Subsequently, Chicken Katsu with Multigrain Bun was served. Multigrain bun was stuffed with katsu chicken and cheddar cheese. Although the matching seems lesser than the previous bun; however, the chicken katsu was satisfying everyone’s cravings on meaty meal. It was fresh and easy to chew. Although we didn’t have the crispy bites on the katsu chicken; nonetheless, it was still fit for king.

Next, we tried Beef Teriyaki with Chili Bun as well as Chicken Teriyaki with Pumpkin Bun. Danny was a beef lover, no doubt, this beef teriyaki bun was his favorite. Both beef teriyaki and chicken teriyaki buns were served with bonito flakes too which increase the savory of the bun. However, the chili bun with beef teriyaki was really spicy, which stimulated his taste buds a lot. Hence, if you are not a chili lover, you might consider to try out other bun with the teriyaki beef. Remember, you can always customize your sandwich at Sumo Sandwich.

If you are a vegetarian, or you plan to eat clean, pick the Mushroom Kakiage with Tomato Cheese Bun. It consists of deep fried vegetables, grilled mushrooms and torched cheddar cheese. I am not so fancy about mushroom, but this matching caught my appetite too. Especially when it was matched with the tomato cheese flavored bun, with the taste of sweet and sour, it was totally appealing.
As said, Sumo Sandwich serves huge sandwich; and hence, our stomach was fully stuffed with the five flavors of sandwich, which we couldn’t take the seaweed bun. However, we are sure returning to try it out. The price was reasonable and Sumo Sandwich promises to come out with more flavors of buns so that patrons have more choices. Overall, thumbs up for Sumo Sandwich. They serve really good sandwich. Price is extremely reasonable and affordable because they are serving together with rich fillings. Sum up all, Sumo Sandwich is actually a Subway in Japanese style. However, if one would like to compare Sumo Sandwich and Subway, I will highly recommend Sumo Sandwich because of it creative mix and match sandwich.

these are great tasting sandwich just by the looks of it. we also have sandwich cafe here in manila
Glad to know that. I love this sandwich a lot.
I love sandwiches and all these look delicious! I am curious about the Tuna Tamago with Bamboo Bun, it looks so tasty.
Thanks Elizabeth. It is my favorite too.
Wow i’ve not seen some of these types of bread before. I love an open sandwich though. Great photos.
This is a creative concept from the founder of Sumo!
The contents look good and generous, but the sandwich itself looks difficult to eat! I think I cannot eat that like a traditional sandwich anymore.
Erm, it is actually same like the normal sandwich but with more fillings.
I am drooling over these hearty sandwiches totally delicious they are looking and i have seen those charcoal buns but never heard of bamboo buns.
I think it is similar to the charcoal bun. Hmmm. But Sumo named it as bamboo.
Hmmm..a must try sandwiches. I haven’t tried this food, but it is really a must to taste it. Salivating looking at the sandwiches.
If you got the chance, must try!
The sandwiches look very sumptuous though I will never visit this place as it is not in my city.
If you come to Malaysia, give it a try.
I lived in the Berjaya Time Square Hotel and visited the mall quite often but I never saw this place and now I’m regretting it.
When were the last time you are there? It is newly open early thos year. Maube next time. =)
They have a lot of great sandwiches here. It helps a lot that they have culinary students doing the preparation.
Yup. They have soon-to-be expert for help. This also provides chance for the student to learn.
The vegetarian one looks soooo good! I’m super curious as to how the combination worked in the sandwich!
If you got the chance, you must give it a try.
I am drooling right now. Those sandwiches look really delicious.
In fact, ot is super delicious. Haha
Hope to try this someday! The tamago sandwich looks soooo good! 🙂
You must try it if you got the chance. Tuna Tamago, that is my favorite.
I have never tried this kind of sandwiches in my entire life, but I would love to! So bad! Looks tempting.
This is a new concept. That’s why it worth a try.
Look tempting! Better view than Subway sandwiches!
Then you will like this more than Subway!
wow so many choices on sandwich, hehe.. don’t know which to get start. Gonna check it out if drop by there.
Bring your boys and man together. Then try all! Problem solved! =3
Kind of look like subway but better choice of fillings. I tried The Counter and it took me more than 30 minutes to build my own burger. Gosh! I am so indecisive.

Sumo sandwich sounds BIG. Haha! Seems to have a lot of varieties though, will try this soon. At least, a change from Subway once in a while haha.
Yes, you are right! They are huge! Must try ya.
Those sandwiches are indeed big! I don’t think I’d be able to finish one sandwich though. I’m not a vegetable eater so these kind of sandwiches may not be the best option for me though they all look delicious.
If you don’t like the vegetable, maybe you can ask to remove the vege in the bun.
OMG!! That sandwich is really sumo! I don’t think i can finish one like this myself
Haha. Yes. It is. Must try.
Looking your post make me hungry ler! I know Times Square have many newly open shop! hehe Will go there 1 day!
