| - Stumbled upon this place on a Saturday night and decided to dine here with a group of 6. Almost every table was filled when we walked in and it didn't take too long before we were seated. Oddly enough or perhaps conveniently (?), they had provided us with tempura sauce on the tables already. Normally, tempura sauce is served with an order of tempura. Anywho, service was quick and attentive. We were served with water right away and every time when our bottle of water was empty, someone was always on the ball of replacing it for us. Bravo!
In terms of price, I believe it was around $27 per person which is expected for AYCE on a weekend. Shockingly, their menu is extensive! At first, we thought they gave us two menus to order from but it turns out that both sheets were of different items. The menu was very concise as each item was organized in separate categories (e.g. Deep frieds, Rolls, Skewers, etc).
We ordered a couple of hand rolls and they were great! The sashimi however, does not taste as fresh however, the beer taktaki was good. Aside from your typical miso soup, they also have hot and sour soup but, don't bother. The hot and sour soup was VERY salty. It tasted like they dumped a spoonful of salt into each bowl of soup!! We also ordered some of the deep fried items along with grilled items and they were good. Interestingly, they have dessert rolls - fresh spring rolls wrapped with avocado, strawberries and bananas. My friend ordered second for those as she claims them to be very tasty and refreshing! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to try them as I was allergic to bananas.. ):
If you've read my profile blurb, you'd probably know that I'm a big time wine drinker. Once I see something that has to do with wine I gotta try it! They have an item called, Wine Pear and they taste exactly as it sounds. Pear soaked in red wine; crunchy and filled with wine flavour - quite interesting.. I believe you can also bring your own bottle of wine(s) here as multiple wine glasses are set up on the tables. Pretty cool!
There wasn't much for dessert. Mainly ice creams and deep fried items. Oddly, the ice creams were not served in individual bowls instead, all the scoops were placed in one big bowl. Smaller bowls were given to us for self-serve. Not complaining but, just putting it out there as I'm used to getting it served individually. Overall, good food, service and atmosphere.
