| - This is my second time being here, and it was just as delicious as the first
We decided to grab a quick bite before going ice skating. We ended up ordering one of each of their steamed buns, crispy potatoes, pork ramen, and crispy rice cakes. All of our dishes were extremely delicious!
The buns themselves deserve 5 stars. The we're steamed to perfection. The four flavors of buns were: shrimp, unagi, shiitake, and pork belly. And the server gave us a little spicy sauce thing on the side which made an already delicious bun even more tasty! My boyfriends favorite the shrimp because it was perfectly crispy and very flavorful and it was quite filling in size. I fell in love with the unagi. It had a perfect balance of salt and flavor and crisp. Just amazing. But don't let that stop you from ordering the other two because they were all very very good and hard to choose what I liked best.
Then the ramen came out. The shredded pork and the pork belly were amazing! If only all ramen places had pork like theirs.. haha. The noodles were cooked al dente, which is surprising because usually they get soggy. And the broth was light and seasoned :)
The crispy potatoes and crispy rice cakes came out shortly after and while we wanted to indulge in more greatness, we were unfortunately too full from everything else. But the little bites we were able to squeeze in were amazing! The crispy potatoes flavors crept in slowly but it all went together very well. And the rice cake dish had so much zest! It wasn't overwhelmingly spicy, which was a huge plus, and each little rice cake was crispy and chewy and just lovely.
Oh! I forgot! We also ordered their sparkling sake, and it really blew our minds. I always order the cheap hot or cold sake from usual Asian places, but this one didn't taste like sake at all. It has truly sparked my interest in sake.
The food quality is so delicious and while the menu isn't very extensive, I'd rather choose from a few amazing dishes then a mixture of 3 Star dishes. The service was attentive, friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to go back!
