W0oOooOOOOOOHOOooOOO! I finally got to eat here!! *cue hallelujah music* After many months, I VIVIAN, HAVE SET FOOT INTO THIS RESTAURANT. CAN I GET A WAYYOOOOHH??!
LOL anyways yeah. I was thrilled because I love Japanese food and I have read many good reviews on this place. Also, I heard this place is run by Japanese people which is AWESOME! I feel like it's quite rare to find Japanese restaurants that are ACTUALLY owned by Japanese people around Richmond Hill. It's like trying to find a shiny pokemon out in the wild. SUPE R DUPER HARD AND RARE!!
Alrighty, enough of the chit chat. Let's just get RIGHT INTO THE FOOD PORTION. I got the Nabeyaki. That's actually all I got. It was like $16.50. I'm not rich enough to afford anything else after that like nope. It's basically a noodle soup (you have the choice to choose between soba or udon; I chose soba) traditionally served in a clay pot. It came with a variety of different tempuras (shrimp, sweet potato, broccoli, and eggplant), a poached egg, a few chicken meat pieces, and I believe spinach. THIS WAS SO GOOD! Like wow. I BURNED THE ROOF OF MY MOUTH BUT ITS ALL GOOD. NO WORRIES CAUSE WHEN THERE"S GOOD FOOD IT DOESN"T EVEN MATTER IF YOUR MOUTH IS ON FIRE. Jokes, but forreal I literally couldn't stop smiling. Now that I think about it, the soup actually tastes really similar to satoimo nimono (its kind of like a stewed taro).
**okay i just found out that both recipes uses practically the same ingredients SO YAY I COULD MAKE THIS AT HOME CHEF VIVIAN IS BACK IN BUSINESS!#!!
Although, it tasted really good, the price was not good. I feel like if there was maybe seafood or whatever, it should cost that much, but considering the fact that these are relatively cheap ingredients, I would say it should be cheaper. But that's just my opinion of course. Oh yeah, maybe it's just my monstrous appetite, but I wasn't EXACTLY full.
**more side notes: i did not like how soggy my tempura got (its kinda gross ya feel me) and i think for the $16.50, they could throw in a small bowl of rice (it would complement the leftover soup so well i think ;'D)
Overall, good restaurant with nice decor, good nabeyaki (even though its my first time trying this, its still the bomb.com), and relatively nice service. Despite all that and the rating, I don't necessarily think I would come back. With that $16.50, I could've walked to Yummy Sushi (which is like diagonally across from this place? ITS CLOSE BY OK) and ate to my heart's content. I would probably even have a bit of money left over and get myself a god damn donut too. LOOL But yeah, still worth a try.
