| - Came here for late lunch with a friend on Saturday afternoon. We were starving and quickly decided to drop in because we saw that the restaurant was vegetarian.
The restaurant is big but quite dead. I don't know why there were only 2-3 other customers in the restaurant. I was confused with the white decor and tear drop shapes on the wall too.
We were quickly served with small glasses of water with a lemon slice. Because there was no menu outside the restaurant (-1 point!), I didn't realize it was a chinese restaurant. I didn't really want anything on the menu, but since I was starving, I settled for sushi. My friend and I shared the mango sushi (8 pcs, 9.99) and the wunagi temaki ($3.50).
The food arrive relatively quickly.
The wunagi was a small seaweed cone (the menu says it's crispy, but it's actually not anymore) with rice, lettuce and a thin strip of fried bean curd. The menu also says that there is cucumber and crispy bean-curd crumbs inside, but there wasn't...
I'm only impressed with the fried bean-curd. I never had anything like it before; it looks like toast on the outside and perhaps the ridges make it look like ham, but inside was like chewing on dry chicken cutlet. I quite like it. It's crispy and not oily.
Quite disappointed in the Mango sushi; I was unimpressed with the food presentation. Frankly, I was confused by the way they were stacked (see pic). Anyway, I tried it and it was nothing special, just mango wrapped in rice and seaweed. For 10 bucks, you can get a better deal, same quality sushi at T&T. I was also displeased that some of the pieces were the ends -- you're never supposed to serve customers the ends of anything.
(-1 point for not having a menu outside the restaurant)
(-2 food presentation and accuracy)
(-1 ambiance)
Not my kind of place to rave about.
