| - Finally got to try this place and it was a really great first experience.
This restaurant serves up some yummy Japanese dishes that are different than your usual sushi place.
We started with the baby octopus which was served cold in a sweet sauce, this dish was flavorful and unique and we really enjoyed this. We also shared the edamame and karaage, both were delicious and generously portioned to share. For mains we tried the beef gyu bowl and the chicken curry bowl. Both of these were packed with flavour, the chicken didn't have much actual chicken but the potatoes, carrots and the curry sauce were delicious and hearty, it felt like Japanese comfort food. The beef bowl had a generous portion of beef and rice, there was also egg, some edamame, ginger and a couple of slices of cantaloupe in the bowl which was nice and refreshing. We also ordered the iced genmaicha tea which had little pieces of coconut jelly in the bottom, we really enjoyed this drink.
For dessert we had the matcha green tea with Oreo pieces and this was really yummy and a nice way to finish the meal.
All of this food came to about $50 with tax and tip which is reasonable for all the items we ordered.
The restaurant itself is really modern and trendy looking, lots of intentional mismatched furniture, light fixtures and other features give a sort of hipster vibe to it. It offered a nice dining environment.
The crowd is mostly younger people but we saw families and all sorts of people filling the tables.
The service was pretty good, we got our orders in and our food pretty quickly and our servers were courteous however they seemed a bit overwhelmed with the volume of customers they had.
Overall a cute place with some good, inexpensive bites to eat. I can't wait to come back and try more items on this menu!
