| - I was here when they first open a few years ago...
Their noodles was pretty good and the meal combos that they have back then was reasonably priced.
But I have seen "under new management" goes up for a few times and now even a SUSHI sign went up there...
I almost didn't go in there, as my phone was low on battery, I checked-in while still in my car.
I got the "Maverick" badge because of this check-in.
(Maverick - Because ratings are overrated, because you go your own way - and because you'll never lose that lovin' feeling for your city's rugged good looks. You're dangerous. Yeah, dangerous... and there's a badge for that.)
Well... Let's see if the rating really works...
The waitress gave me a menu and a lunch special menu.
The menus are a bit worn(?) and as it's a noodle place, the section of menu for noodles looks "dirty" and fuzzy...
I guess the new management has decided to go with the korean/japanese restaurant than the noodle place.
End up having a lunch special - unagi tempura set.
The side dishes that came before the meal was not good...
The edamame, a few of them has brown marks on it...
The deep fried thing (I guess it's sweet potato fries with tempura coating?) was cold and with a sour sauce...
And the miso soup has a weird taste. Like a bad fishy taste...
The lunch set, the tempura was nice, it's hot and crispy.
The salad has a citrus (orange?) juice based dressing? I don't like it and I love citrus flavour...
The stir-fried vegetable under the few pieces of unagi (bbq eel) was cold, and lacks seasoning.
The bbq eel was cut like the ones that you see on top of rainbow sushi, those thin slices.
I didn't eat the korean noodle "japchae" as they were sticking together so bad.
This place could be great if they focus on one thing, ie. the tempura.
And if they are korean, may be they can change it into a fried chicken bar (oh, I don't see they have the LLBO sign)...
