| - I've been to this restaurant about 7-8 times over the years and it's always been one of my favourites.
The waitresses tend to be young 20-something girls, so you don't expect them to stay there a long time, and in the past the service would be hit or miss depending on who the waitress was.
Today there was only one waitress, but I've never seen anyone move so quickly and efficiently, without having that 'I'm running a race' feel that you get at Chinese restaurants.
What amazes me is the value of their bento boxes. For 12.95 I ordered a bulgogi bento box. They give you a complimentary crunchy noodle soup, then a miso soup, bulgogi, salad, 8 pieces of a dynamite roll (which is usually 7.00 alone), 2 gyoza, and rice. The qualtiy is very high - everything is always done well.
The only thing that didn't really work for me was the dessert, they gave you frozen grapes, which I've never had before.
I can't understand why this restaurant is always empty. While I wouldn't go specifically out of my way, whenever i'm in the Yonge/Bloor-Wellsley area, this is my go-to place.
The waitress was the most capable one I have ever seen and should be commended
What I also like is that the tables are spaced out nicely. I don't enjoy sitting on top of people I don't know like at Japango, Yuzu, Wow Sushi or Guu. I just want a quiet experience.
