| - Ended up here on a whim because another brunch place had a 45 minute wait - and let me tell you, we are so glad we found it here! Walking in, it looks like you're in a tiny coffee shop - not a Japanese cafe, so we were a bit confused. It's snug in here, which is a little awkward for the buffet part of things along the counter, but it worked. We did the brunch buffet for $18.99 each (weekends only) and it's a combo of pre-made things and made to order items. For the self-serve items, there was soup, a garden salad, some hot noodles (they were dry) and slices of pork (also a bit dry). Oh, and some Japanese doughnuts, which are basically little cakes, not like the doughnuts from Timmy's.
You order your made to order things off a menu with a dry erase marker and there's everything from french toast to eggs benedict to Japanese curries. We tried a couple of the curries (so so good - flavourful and hearty and when you add a perfect soft poached egg, it's amazing), the french toast (so fluffy and soft!), the rice burgers (which are fat pieces of rolls basically) and the sliders (omg they are all so good). My favourite part is that you can add things to all your curries - so I added hot dogs. They cut them like octopuses so they've got crispy legs and goddamnit, it's so good I could have cried. I honestly can't say enough good things about them - AND they have cold Sapporo on draft that just makes everything taste so much better. This may be my new favourite restaurant in Calgary. When you roll yourself to your car after a meal, you know you chose a good place.
