  • This event is smaller than Night it Up which has one fringe benefit... it was less crowded. This venue provides no seating, so people come and go more readily. After the initial influx in the mornings and lunch hours the crowds quickly dissipate. I could tell since I can see the venue from my condo so I can choose an appropriate time to go. One thing about the venue this time compared to some other time I *approached* it was the stinky tofu smell wasn't too strong. I recall one time they had the smell so strong I just turned around once I reached the corner. They have a good selection of food, but nothing unique. There are some that are misses and cheaper for a good reason. e.g. the $3 tornado fries vs the $9 tornado fries in the next store, the $3 one I got left much to be desired. Another miss after a long wait was the $10 squid tepanyaki. It smelled so good while they were making it but the end result was so rubbery I didn't enjoy it much. Honorable mentions: I had the deep fried onigiri. $7 for 2. I liked the fact that it had a crispy texture and was enjoying it but realizing that there was absolutely nothing inside but rice was a major disappointment. Fried tofu in volcano sauce ($8 but $15 with drink and takoyaki combo) somehow they made this crispy for a relatively long period in the sauce. The sauce had a mild kick to it but blends well with the crispness of the tofu. The lemonade drink with mint wasn't bad either. Top 3: The Osaka okonomiyaki for $7 was pretty good. However, I knew this store from work so I am biased in it. It was crispy and considering we ate this AFTER everything else we didn't feel bloated. This was my 3rd favorite. The Vietnamese (I am guessing from their script) Oh Ah Jen (fried oyster pancake) was quite good. I don't think I had an oyster pancake like that before (perhaps it's not something I commonly order at Pho places) but it was different from the HK places that's for sure. It had bean sprouts (which I don't normally like) but it had large chunks of oysters and the sprouts covered some of the sauce's flavors so it didn't get too strong. This was my number 2 The i-migo takoyaki was probably the best takoyaki I've had even compared to the ones I had in the Little Japan at the Philippines and J-Town's events. It was like a cream puff but instead of the pastry, it was takoyaki batter and instead of ice cream it was a bunch of takoyaki stuff. This is my number 1 favorite in the event. Unfortunately, there are a number of lower class people smoking around and this includes the staff at some of the stalls specific example was at i-migo which I just had to tolerate to get their takoyaki. Some suggestions for a future event. #1 get their security to deal with smokers especially among the staff. #2 disallow booths from putting up their own blaring music (I had to deal with that with the i-migo booth) #3 provide free wifi for the occasion #4 provide a Yelp review meter for each booth along with a QR code so we can rate. #5 manage the wash stalls better, there was no water in them 2 hours before closing time. #6 put in a Legendary Pokemon hunt. Pro-tip: go to Gong-Cha for tea afterwards, much better drink and you can start writing your reviews because they have free wifi and seating. Not to mention have a fully plumbed sink and toilet if needed.
