| - The restaurant is decorated nicely. I found out many customers like to sit at the sushi bar when I passed by and it looks like they are also serving izakaya. As I was directed to sit at the booth, I found that the sitting booth is tight, not much space and I could not sit comfortably.
Shortly after we ordered the sushi dinner set, the sashimi came first followed by the sea urchin (uni) + salmon roe + rice and then the foie gras sushi. The food came very quickly and I was hoping they would put a pause.
Sashimi dish, the fish were fresh and it was not bad.
Sea urchin (uni) + salmon roe + rice, the salmon roe has overwhelmed the taste of the sea urchin. I would rather to have sea urchin with the rice alone.
Foie gras sushi came third. Since we were still working on the first dish, we didn't dig in on this dish. Shortly after, the waitress came to our table and said we should eat the foie gras sushi prior to sashimi and the Sea urchin (uni) + salmon roe + rice. I was thinking if that has to eat immediately when it's still warm, either slow down the speed of serving the dish or wait until we were done with the first two dishes. Taste is not bad but not outstanding neither.
Tofu with shrimp, I like this appetizer the best. The soup at the bottom of the tofu tastes delicious and then it is layered with slices of mint leaf and then topped with the shrimp. The mint flavour blends well with the tofu and the shrimp.
Eggplant with cod fish and deep fried fish paste tastes good also, especially the eggplant is soaked in sweet miso sauce.
Bowl of noodles, I found the texture of the noodles are on the hard side. They could cook a bit longer.
Duck Breast stuffed with spinach, the duck tastes alright. I just don't understand why would the chef wants to stuff the duck breast with spinach since spinach does not carry a strong or contrasting taste.
Next time if I go again, I would want to try their izakaya instead.
