| - Definitely made a customer!
I only have 2 gripes with this restaurant. Firstly, it's really hard to find (the second I'll mention later)! For those relying on a gps, it seems a little weird that a Scadabush would have a small Japanese restaurant located right in the middle of it. It wasn't until after I walked from one end of the building to the other did I discover the little entrance to the 'Shops @ Aura', a little floor with some shops similar to what you would expect to find at Pacific Mall.
As I arrived, I met a nice middle aged-man who appeared to be the owner of the shop (was the only one there at the time). He came up to me and we struck a nice little conversation. He told me a little about himself, the types of food they offered, and asked me a little bit about myself. Overall he was a very nice man who was very much concerned with making sure you had a pleasant experience.
Me and my friend (after he arrived) decided to both get the Pork cutlet dish, which was-for $10- a really good portion. The dish came with coleslaw, steamed rice, pork cutlet, and their famous Japanese curry.
I've never been a big fan of traditional curry, but the minute I tried my meal, I fell in love. This type of curry was nothing like traditional curry. It had the elements/smells that you would expect, but with a sweeter/non spicy sauce. The coleslaw mixed in with the curry was also surprisingly a delicious treat, although I doubt that was an intended mix. Finally, the cutlet was like no other place I've been to previously. Unlike pretty much every other Japanese restaurant that pounds the meat until it's about 1mm in thickness, Kaiju left their meat with a good amount of thickness, which allowed it to stay moist. Mixing it with the curry sauce extremely delicious, and with the plain rice to stir around to absorb the sauce made a perfect spoonful.
My second gripe, was that there wasn't enough sauce at the end of my dish! Now I admit it may have been because of a few spoons I ate without rice, effectively throwing off the ratios, or it may have been because some got into the coleslaw(no regrets), but my last few spoons were having me scrape the rice against the remnants of the sauce, hoping for one last hit before the pleasure was all gone.
After the meal, the owner came out and asked us how it was. Hopefully our sighs of satisfaction clued him in on such a question. He invited us back to the counter and offered us a sample of some jam that he provides for breakfast (given he knew I worked close by, he suggested I come down to try it), and it was very delicious! It was a creamy sweet, which almost reminded me between condensed milk and caramel. It made me definitely consider the 15-one way walk to come for some breakfast. Ultimately I don't think I'll have the time to go for the breakfast, but I'll definitely be back to get some more of his food.
Overall I must say the experience was superb. Fantastic service, quiet atmosphere (may have been due to weird time to eat), and delicious food, really put things over the stop. I only wish the best for the owner of this shop, and continued success!
Everyone needs to find their way through the labyrinth of a mall to find the hidden treasure at the end!
