| - That Umbrella Guy @ Sushi Cafe.
I've heard of this place before but never actually tried it. This place would be difficult to find if they didn't have a big sign out front.
Walking in, it's a really small place. And I mean, literally, 8 people standing around would probably fill it up. They have some stools facing the window, so you could choose to eat there if you want. It's a great view of University Ave.
I ordered a large lunch combo special for $5.99, which comes with rice, meat balls, chicken leg/thigh, and salad. The salad comes with broccoli and carrots, potato, sweet potato, beans and chickpeas, and coleslaw.
The box is hit-or-miss. I really enjoyed the chicken and the rice. The chicken was extremely tender and juicy, and the seasoning they add to it gave it great flavour. The rice was also moist with a hint of ginger. There are some "meat balls" which just look like chunks of chicken, but I'm not going to complain about naming.
The salad, on the other hand, was a bit strange. It was really sour, like they added way too much vinegar or something. The broccoli and carrots were also on the raw side (I'm not a fan of raw vegetables), and combined with the sour flavour it was a bit strange. Chickpeas and beans were also a bit sour. I wonder if it's something they added afterwards and whether I can have the sourness not included.
Looking at their menu, they have $4 wraps and sandwiches. I wonder if there's an option where I can just have more of that meat.
This is definitely one of the cheaper options in the financial district. If you're looking for a budget meal, I'd try this place.
