Sumatera Restaurant is a tight space — reporting describes the room as having only around 5-6 small tables — so seating can be limited during peak hours, per Yelp/review coverage, requiring diners to be flexible on timing.
The restaurant does not take reservations and operates strictly first-come, first-served, meaning a full room at busy times translates directly into a wait for a table rather than a bookable slot.
