| - Visited this place during their Buy-1-Get-1 deal. I was expecting more people but during the hour that I stayed there were probably only a few groups of people coming and going.
Overall, brightly lit restaurant, lots of seating. Tables, booths, high seats. There's even one of those exercise balls sitting in a corner which you can choose to sit on if you wish. And of course, I did, because where else can you experience a meal while sitting on a ball.
On the menu, they offer poke bowls, salad bowls, noodle soup bowls, and some drinks including a variety of teas and fresh pressed juices.
The ordering process was fairly straightforward: pick an item from the menu, specify a base, choose an apple, give your name, and you're done. When the poke bowl is prepared they will call you over to ask for extra garnishes on top.
I ordered a Spicy Salmon poke bowl and a Thai curry noodle soup.
I started with the noodle soup, and halfway through it, I started wondering why there were pieces of chicken and kimchi, which seemed like an interesting choice for thai-style soup. Although it was already a free bowl due to the promotion, I still went and asked about it. One of the staff tried to convince me that this was the thai noodle soup, and that the white bowls are used for a korean soup while the black bowls are used for thai noodle soup. Which turned out to be wrong.
In the end they offered to compensate with a thai noodle soup, which is not bad. I would give them points for questioning the customer because customer is not king and you do not just do whatever the customer says. However, points are docked for getting their arguments wrong. But they still decided to offer compensation free of charge, which is acceptable.
The noodle soups were pretty watered down. Although the ingredients they use seem fresh, and the option to allow me to select soba noodles is interesting, I didn't particularly feel that I would want to get the noodle soups again.
The poke bowl was better than the soup. A good amount of fish, and the ingredients were enjoyable. The spicy salmon bowl came with a few pieces of kimchi. Compared to the ones at korean restaurants, I thought they were a bit too strong in flavor, but I don't know if that's good or bad. The onions they used were also very strong, the kind of sensation you get when you're chopping fresh onions.
Overall, I think if they only offered the poke bowls it would be a bit better. If I had only picked a noodle soup I may have been more disappointed.
