| - found this little place and wanted to try it out for lunch.
server was really friendly and very informative.
chef has over 20 years of exp.
the lunch specials change on the daily depending on the ingredients that they have available as the chef picks ingredients at the market himself.
usually they will not be items that you can find on the menu but can be a combination of some sometimes.
another thing the server mentioned was that they are very flexible with altering the entrees to your preference, provided that they have the ingredients to do so.
anyways, i was originally going to order a ramen but then when i skimmed through the menu and saw omurice, i decided that i had to try it because i LOVE omurice. i also ordered the japanese poutine just because i was curious.
the omurice is a chicken fried rice wrapped in an omelet. very simple. and on top there is ketchup. i tihnk the omurice was $10-11. based on that, i can't say i got my monies worth. the portion was smaller than what im used to and it was also $3-4 more expensive as well. as a lover of omurice though, here are ways that this dish could b better. have the rice be curry chicken fried rice. and along with ketchup have mayo on top. actually when i think about the portions, these were japanese sized portions. when i went to japan a number of years back, i remember i had to eat 2 japanese meals for every meal to fill my fat american gut.
anyways the japanese poutine. this was ok, but again, japanese sized servings. there were fries of course, and i believe also cubed potatoes as well. there may have needed a bit more cheese but mayb not, since instead of gravy, i think it was a curry that was poured over the spuds.
anyways, im inclined to give japanese ramen king another try as i feel like they can do better and the service was really good.
