Time for another round of Leslie's pros and cons:
Pros:
Cute little café and restaurant
Food is not your standard items that everyone else has
Clean premises
Nice and polite service
Lots of meat in the 'Gyudon' (read on...)
Attention to detail: even the cherry tomato was peeled and had no skin
Juicy and flavourful karaage - well done!
The 2 types of mayonnaise served were indeed delicious and original
Clean washrooms
Cons:
Guydon (beef and rice dish) was not guydon. They serve beef kakunidon and call it gyudon!! Why?
Egg on guydon was extra $1
The French Fries were too crispy, almost burnt and tasteless
Guydon did not come in a 'don' bowl, but was served on a plate
Restaurant does not try to be authentic Japanese, but Westernized fusion (some may see this as a positive)
The couple who run the place have a good thing going and now that their teenagers are growing older have taken the splash and operate their own restaurant in an area that has one too many Tim Hortons and pizza joints... Hope it is a success.
