Came here last week with an old high school buddy since we decided to try out a place from the Montreal episode of Anthony Bourdain's series, The Layover. so we settled on trying this place since neither of us had gone.
First up, we decided to order 2 appetizers and share, what came was a very tasty dish of fried chicken and a second dish of fried pork under a mound of fresh watercress and sliced radishes and onions. Both were very tasty and by appetizer-standards quite large dishes and very filling. We began to wonder if ordering mains
may have been a bad idea and overkill.
I ordered the Green Tea spare ribs and my friend ordered a Ramen noodle dish with beef and eggplant. My ribs, if a bit dry, were OK, (FAR better than Bar B Barn, which I can't stand), and the green tea sauce at the bottom of the dish was very lightly flavoured with matcha. It's not the best ribs I've ever had but I'll give them points for originality. My friend however was very disappointed with his dish, he described it almost as if it was a Taco which they just threw into a soup with Ramen noodles and vowed never to order this again.
The décor is very funky and clever and yes, it does almost have a cafeteria-style and vibe to it. The service we received was friendly and casual. I'd come back here if for anything else to try out more of these appetizers!
