| - Narooe just recently opened near where I work and I was eager to try it. They have a fairly good lunch selection with prices ranging from $7.95 - $11.95. The rest of the menu is quite eclectic and includes items such as spaghetti with meat sauce. Needless to say, I was a tad surprised at this one.
I was there for lunch and opted for the Teriyaki Chicken lunch special for $8.95. The dish included miso soup, salad, glass noodles, gyoza, gimbap and what looked to be, 1 1/2 chicken thighs served over sauteed onions and sweet peppers. Oh, and creamy pasta salad. (?)
The soup and salad were standard fare but I will say, the dressing on the salad was quite flavourful!
The chicken was good, a little tough and perhaps a tad over cooked but good. It was a nice change from the tenderized chicken breast that is normally served when ordering this type of meal. The gimbap, glass noodles and gyoza were all pretty standard and quite flavourful.
I don't know if it's just me but I could not connect the dots to the creamy pasta salad that was served with this meal. The flavour profile was completely different and it seemed out of place. The taste was okay but I'll admit, it confused me.
We were also served a kimchi pancake which was delicious! Not as hot as I expected but I was actually pleased about that. I would definitely get this again.
Over all, a nice place to have lunch and I will have to start working my way through their menu.
