| - The name enticed me, that's what initially intrigued me about this place. Who wouldn't love a one-stop shop for any type of Asian cuisine you might be wanting? It even drew my attention away from their neighbour the 'Burgers Priest' and that's normally hard to do. Regardless, it landed on my list of places to try and one of my best friends was eager to join me.
The interior decor is inviting, atmosphere feels intimate even when the place was packed. Both my friend and I revelled at the beautiful chandeliers adorning the ceiling. And loved the subtle touches in place for the holiday.
The menu is extensive and portions are tapas style providing you with opportunity to a) order more items and share or b) be able to indulge in your craving of more than one thing.
Prior to getting into why I only gave them three stars, I promised my friend I'd include her thoughts. She loved the almond coated shrimp and thought it was the tastiest shrimp she'd ever tried. She also had no complaints about anything she tried and would definitely come back!
I, on the other hand, had a different experience (despite sitting at the same table). Servers were hard to call over when you had a question. They promised to bring out everything around the same time yet my friend had her drink and food before they brought me my beverage. When they did bring out my first selection, it was not what I ordered. I finally found, and called over a server, who told me it was what I had ordered and perhaps was just prepared differently than I was expecting. As I hesitatingly took a bite of coating off what I knew was not chicken, another server came over and said they suspected it had been delivered to the wrong table and it was in fact not what I had ordered. Thank goodness, I don't have a severe allergy to the protein they served me. The sushi roll that I ordered was a sweet potato tempura roll that was packed with sweet potato (win!) but for something that should be deep fried before putting it in a sushi roll, it was relatively raw and was probably one of the worst sushi rolls I'd ever had. When they did finally bring me the correct first item, it was quite good and the accompanying sauce was a mystery but delicious.
All in all, my recommendations:
1) don't stray far from the 'craving favourite' suggestions. Those were the items that were disappointing.
2) if something doesn't look like what you ordered make sure they double/triple check that it is.
3) try more than one item, price point is reasonable enough to do so. Prices will also give you a sense of portion size.
Will I come back? Perhaps to try the almond crusted items which I admit smelled wonderful! But otherwise, probably not. However, my friend, as mentioned above, had a very different opinion and would definitely return.
Therefore, I leave the decision up to you!
