So my friends and I decided to come here for lunch. I was searching up on Yelp and found Black Bear accepts online reservations on Yelp. That's a plus for me cause restaurants are now adapting to modern day technology.
The venue is nice and clean. They got quite a number of tables for the patrons. Plus the restaurant has a big side window, so it's pretty well lit even on a gloomy Sunday. The decor is simple and functional.
Food wise, they got a lunch menu that has about 10 offerings. I like that, keep it to what you know instead of over diversifying. My friends all ordered the chicken katsu burger and I decided to try the curry yaki udon with chicken (deep fried). Our food came not long after and it smelled great. After all our food arrived, we all started to dig into our food. My first impression was the curry is not watery and smell great. Plus the flavour of the curry has a slightly stronger kick compare to other places I have been to. Which I like. I was surprised the curry blended in well with the udon. After all, curry goes best with rice. The chicken is... HUGE! Also, it's not dry at all, and still maintained some juice/moisture in the meat. So that's not bad.
I have read other reviews, and I believed Black Bear has improved on to become better. I will likely come back and try other stuff.
