| - We wanted to love it. We wanted to be excited. Perhaps, I wanted to love it and was overly excited to try somewhere new? Well, whichever it was...it was anticlimatic for me. My husband's review, "it wasn't so bad". They offered internal organs, of course he'll have such of an opinion.
We came in on a Tuesday not too long after they opened. Immediately greeted...check. Seated...check. I was completely excited to look over their menu, especially since we happen to arrive during Happy Hour. For some reason I still can't figure out, their happy hour menu wasn't as impressive. I suppose it was because the food itself wasn't.
ME:
Fusion edamame (garlic seasoned edamame)
Spicy Tuna Volcano (crispy rice with spicy tuna on top)
Beef tacos (won ton wrapper fried into a taco shape with bulgogi squeezed in)
Miso Butterfish (butterfish in miso sauce with a pepper wrapped in foil to simply toss onto the grill)
HUSBAND:
Tako wasabi
Liver (waiter said it was pork liver)
Beef Toro
Spicy Tuna Volcano
Miso Butterfish
US:
2 Kirin beer
There was nothing spicy or even tuna about this dish. The crispy rice seemed to have more.flavor than the spicy tuna. To jazz it up I made it rain with a bottle of some sauce they have on the table labeled as spicy. But that wasn't spicy at all.
I do love they offer sweet potatoe FRIES. Having some kind of finger food for a 9months old to grasp and keep occupied is an immediate thumber-upper from me.
Miso Butterfish was alright. The sauce it steams in is very light in taste, which is a good thing for such a fish. You get a small piece of fish, thankfully, it wasn't a small and thin piece. Nothing spectacular. Since I do love eating fish, I still appreciated it.
The beef tacos weren't anything spectacular either. Maybe if they slid in 2 more pcs I wouldve said they were deeelish! Just wasnt enough bite for me to thoroughly assess. A little expensive for what you get happy hour or not. Man, I'm starting to think I came in way too hungry.
Can't review on the liver, I don't eat that stuff. Husband said twas alright. He did note that the Tako wasabi was his favorite and thought twas pretty good. So if you are into the raw stuff, that just may be your deal.
The beef Toro to me didn't look too fresh...freshly frozen...freshly defrosted frozen...freshly flashed frozen? Whichever...just didn't have that nice color to the meat the way I'm accustomed to seeing at Gangnam. It was marinated in something but upon eating it, I couldn't even taste it out.
Prices were alright considering it was happy hour. I think I was overly excited in my head so perhaps I was expecting more. I would probably come again just to give it another shot. Maybe during a time when they didnt just open...maybe the food needed time to marinate longer?
The best part about our meal was our 1.99 kirin beer, my fusion edamame (which was a small bowl for almost 4bucks), and my husband's Tako (small bowl.for almost 4 bucks). We spent 55 bucks, which I walked out wishing we had just went to an AYCE sushi for even less.
I enjoyed the vibe of the restaurant, and it being well ventilated. There were a couple times our waiter lagged in service. We were nearly done eating by the time he brought our beer out. I suppose since this was noon on a weekday, we had nowhere to go...we didn't really care much. Sometimes just laying back and not having the urgency for anything is soothing to the nerves. Aside from that, overall, service was great and super friendly.
Again, I'd have to come back.. maybe less hungry too. Sometimes hunger can change your palate for sure. But for now, I don't feel like I'm missing out on life if I never did return.
Definitely kid and stroller friendly! Just keep the kids away from the pit, aye.
