| - First Impressions
=============
Friendly staff. Floors, and chairs are sticky/oily. When we pulled out our chairs there were crumbs on both chairs and both our hands had some oily/sticky residue... :/
After we ordered we saw another customer return the same dish a couple times, and on the final return they asked the waiter to smell it...
Not sure what's going on... but does not invoke confidence.
Service
======
Friendly staff and overall good service.
Food
====
Preface: Certain aspects of their food was great, and then some were just not good.
SOFT SHELL CRAB AVOCADO BURGER: The soft shell crab was done well, crispy, light and had a very satisfying crunch. The other ingredients seemed fresh and no complaints on quality.
The problem for me is that...it had no flavour.
The was a spicy mayo sauce that was neither here nor there and really didn't taste like anything either. The crab itself was also tasteless--not even salt.
CURRY KATSU RICE BURGER: Curry sauce was not good and stone cold. The Katsu was fried well, light and crispy.
The rice-made burger patty was a bit of a mess. It started falling apart a couple bites in. It's not a burger when you gotta use knife and fork to finish.
Fried stuff: fried well, light, crunchy, not oily.
Ingredients: seems fresh, no complaints on quality.
Everything else: sauces, seasoning, how things are put together could use some work.
Would I come back?
==============
For the price, my expectations where wayyyyy higher. Two person lunch almost $40, in Markham, and nothing "wowed" us.
Not only that but the restaurant really feels like it needs a good soap and warm water scrub down. The floors, table legs, chairs were all sticky.
I'm rooting for them because I like the ideas of their dishes, but the ones we had were not up to par with other restaurants of a similar price tier.
