| - I would recommend to only come here during their lunch special, because at dinner time it gets expensive and probably not worth it! Lunch specials are a super great deal and they offer a great variety of food. Their decor and design is also super cute! SO thankful for having this restaurant uptown.
I love this place because it's like japanese styled chinese food, LOL. I absolutely love japanese food but I also like chinese food, which is what I feel this place does really well. I don't feel that this place is exactly authentic or can be considered japanese, but it does taste pretty close to it! I have had the Gyuu Curry Don, Takoyaki, and Omurice.
Gyuu Curry Don is AMAZING. Do not undermine their watery curry, because it seems to be watery for a reason. The rice is REALLY good like it's VERY sticky, moist, and short grained. The texture of the curry might be watery, but not the flavour I assure you. When you mix the curry with the rice, WOW!!! Every spoonful is a steaming hot fluffy moist clump of rice that is chock full of flavour (yummy curry) and it's like super duper comfort food. It's drool worthy. The Gyuu Beef is good too, it's sweet and well cooked and has a good serving of onions which I really like. The whole entire bowl is so comforting and so delicious. Takoyaki was rather average and nothing much, there wasn't much octopus and I don't feel it is particularly worth ordering.
Omurice was actually pretty good. The omelette was REALLY good. It was extremely fluffy and almost melt in your mouth! The fried chicken rice on the inside wasn't that good, the chicken was dry and definitely old. It was kind of expected since it was fried rice after all, but I think it could be something that could improve. Wait times for food are okay, not the most efficient but I didn't notice it to be super slow.
Overall, I really do love this restaurant! Their rice bowls are seriously good and this place offers great comfort food. Great place to get your fix for cravings if you're missing some good asian food or even meeting up with friends for food (if you live uptown). It's in a great location, looks super cute (love the comfortable booth seats), and has good food!
