| - So far so guu'd!
Went for a quick bite to eat on a Wednesday night for an early dinner, at the recommendations of friends who had made it out before. Sakabar is bigger and more spacious than Guu Izakaya. We were seated right away.
Since it was a quick dinner, we opted to order dishes that were new and different at this location. Servers were attentive and food served quickly.
Temari Zushi was good. I am normally weary of cream cheese being associated with raw fish. This was done quite well, because it was a small dollop of cream cheese, lightly torched on top of the salmon. Just enough for extra flavouring, but doesn't overpower.
Carbonara Udon was a surprise! It sounds weird on the menu, but they make it work. Tasty!
Brie Cheese was ok, though people seem to like it. It's fun to try.
RICE BURGERS! I was so excited to hear that these were added to the menus. I haven't been able to locate rice burgers since my trip to Asia a few years ago. There are two - one with beef and one with miso cod. Both were delicious and brought back fond memories. My only suggestion is that it comes with a small wrapper, because the rice patties start to fall apart. Messy, but I'm not complaining!
I like that it's located in the Annex - more interesting in terms of places to walk around if you need to wait. But in general, now that I know weeknights are better and minimal wait, I'll just avoid Sakabar on the weekends.
Will be back - so much more to try!
