| - There is some authentic shiz going on here!
I've walked by many times, and even tried walk-in - learned my lesson and made reservations instead. The staff is friendly, but their English is not the best. No problem, just point to the items in the menu!
I came here with my bf, and two friends. Here's what we got:
Sapporo pitcher - only $15, and filled 4 tall glasses. Definitely a steal.
Hhotpot - 2 orders for $30. This came in big bowl bubbling over with broth, veggies, intestines (nom) and we added udon too.
Beef tataki - beautifully presented, and perfectly fine. Served with ponzu sauce
Scallop carpaccio - was delicately sweet, very good!
Beef tongue...it was just ok. Kinda rough.
Raw octopus in wasabi sauce - per bf's request - this was AMAZING! Perfect texture, not chewy but had a bounce to the bite! We ordered nori (seaweed) to go with it too.
Deep fried chicken - very crispy, very tender inside. Fried chicken is fried chicken, but this was GOOD fried chicken.
Grilled black cod - so so so delicious! I recommend. The fish is firm and sweet.
Green tea cheesecake - heavy on the matcha flavour, nice treat for the end. They charged us for the ice cream, though
Apple and custard tortilla - 10 minute wait for this, plus they burned the first one they made. It was....ok. Just ok. It's literally apple slices baked on top of a tortilla with sweet custard. The flavours don't meld together.
Overall, great experience. I think I prefer this over Guu - the food is similar, but ambience is great and sitting is more comfortable. Will be back for more Sapporo pitchers in the summer, when their patio opens up!
