| - Have been wanting to try this new restaurant for a couple of weeks and finally made it!
It's a very cute restaurant, like a wooden cafe, bright, clean cut and spacious.
Purposely came on a weekday because of all the reviews saying how busy and slow the service might be. When we got there, there were only 5 tables, so it wasn't too busy or loud.
Drinks are written on a wooden plank which adds a nice unique touch to their wooden theme.
The menu looked tasty, and I wanted to try many things, however my tummy didn't like that idea.
We went with the Wasabi mayo takoyaki. The takoyaki was really good, crispy on the outside, and nice and mushy in the inside with a fair bit of octopus inside. The Wasabi mayo didn't have much of a flavour, could have went with the regular takoyaki. They have tempura flakes which adds a nice crisp.
I got the crab meat and avocado rice, my boyfriend got the gyu beef Don. The presentation is very nice, with ginger, cantaloupe, edaname, marinated egg.
I found my rice to be a little dry. It needed another item to be mixed in, perhaps some cucumber or something to make it less dry. The mayo wasn't enough for the rice.
My boyfriends gyu Don was really nice. Good amount of onion and marinated beef and wasn't dry at all.
The portion was pretty good, enough to feel really full.
We tried 2 drinks for extra $2.00. I tried the lychee yogurt slush, and my boyfriend got the ginger fruit tea. His mug was huge, and gave a nice aroma. The ginger adds a little coolness to the throat when you drink it, so it's nice on a winter day.
My lychee slush was presented in a mason jar. Cute presentation! I couldn't finish mine, so got a to go cup, and brought the rest home to slowly sip on :)
The service was really good, very attentive, and food came quick and hot.
When given the bill, was given a coupon for free ice cream, expires end of February (they crossed out the January 31 and replaced with February)
Will definitely come back and try a different bowl. I saw the tempura bowls coming out from the kitchen and they looked really good with lots of veggies and large shrimp!!
