I went to the Suki-ya on 22 August to celebrate a friend's birthday at the lunch time. According to normal pricing on weekdays, $16.90++ for lunch (80mins) and $20.90++ for dinner (100mins). $2 addition is required if it is on the weekends/ public holidays. If you're a student, the price you get is $11.90++. There are costs for the unlimited supply of drinks. $1.50 for tea either hot/cold and $4.90 for soft drinks (Pepsi, Mountain Dew and 7-UP).There are 3 types of meat. Chicken, Pork and Beef.
There are 3 types of meat. Chicken, Pork and Beef. The meat are thinly sliced so it will cook fast in the boiling broth.
There are 4 types of broth. Kimchi, Tonyu Miso, Shabu Shabu and Sukiyaki. We chose the shabu shabu and sukiyaki broth. The sukiyaki broth is a beef based soup and is slightly salty than other broth. (those who don't consume beef for other reasons.) The shabu shabu broth has a clearer taste and sweet taste.
On the top is the shabu shabu broth and the bottom is the sukiyaki broth.
Beside the meat, there are other foods which are at the Healthy Bar. There are varieties of vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, meat balls for you to make your broth with more flavours and make your meal healthier. For those who are worried that there aren't any carbohydrates food, there are rices, udon noodles, cellophane noodles and ramen noodles. There are eggs for those who likes to dip their meat into it (I like eating this way), making hard boiled eggs or simply pour the egg into the broth to enhances the flavours. There are many dipping sauces, sesame seeds sauce, ponzu sauce (shoyu with vinegar), miso tare (soybean paste sauce), and my own DIY sauce (chillies, ponzu sauce, spring onions and sesame seeds)
For dessert, if I'm not wrong, the fruit of the day is by random. On that day, there are watermelon slices laid out nicely. There is a ice cream machine there but it was down on the day I visited the store so those who visit Suki-ya the next time, enjoy your ice cream
At the end, we paid $11.90 for 6 people. 3 soft drinks and 3 hot tea [ ($4.90 x 3) + ($1.50 x 3) ]. The total bill was about $108. Approximately $18 for each person. It is slightly expensive for students like us but it was a satisfying meal for a birthday party. The service there are good especially an auntie who served us with a bright smile of her and joke with us to make us feel more comfortable.
