| - Take Out Review:
I had a Restaurant.com certificate to use and decided to cash in at Sogo. I'd never really heard of it but Japanese is my absolute favorite and IMO is pretty hard to mess up simple Hibachi, so I decided to give them a try. They do have online ordering, however, since I was using the certificate, this wasn't an option for me so I called it in. I was pleased with placing my order because it was quick and the man on the line understood me & vice versa, was friendly & repeated my order back to me correctly. When I picked up my order the Host was friendly and quick. I was very happy to see him handle my certificate so perfectly from my phone. A lot of times, using those things can be a hassle.
I ordered the Early Bird Special which was a Combo for 2 for $23.95; and the Seafood Tempura. For my combo I got the Steak & Shrimp. It comes with Soup, Salad & a Shrimp Appetizer. Instead of Salad I got double soup. The soup is basically the same broth you'd find at any Hibachi restaurant. But theirs was very flavorful. It had mushrooms in it and what looked/tasted like bits of chicken had sunk to the bottom. I can't be sure if it was chicken or not but it was good. I couldn't really tell what the shrimp appetizer was other than 1 bigger shrimp than what comes on the plate.
The Seafood Tempura's description only listed Scallops & Shrimp so I was pleasantly surprised to see veggies included as well. Broccoli, Mushrooms & Zucchini. I threw one in my mouth thinking it was broccoli and loved it but thought it had a weird texture. I grab another one and inspect it and found it was a mushroom... I hate mushrooms, But I guess not when they're tempura fried! lol! The tempura batter was delicious! They fried it nice and crispy. No mushy veggies. I'm sold!
I requested Mustard Sauce and was surprised when he said they had it. I always get it from my favorite Japanese restaurant & I hadn't found another place that tasted like that, until now. I can do without that white sauce, but it's normally my only choice unless I make that drive to my fav. I dipped the tip of my fork in it to verify the taste before I poured it on my food and got excited. It tasted just like my fav! I couldn't believe it. I got up and did the Money Dance. I don't bop, I do the money dance! Ayyyy! (Google It). But this seriously made my night. Everything was delicious! The steak was tender, the veggies were cooked nice, they gave me plenty of Rice. I'm not used to getting noodles, but they were really good as well. A lot of flavor. I smiled the entire time I ate and called at least 3 people to tell them about it. I. Was. In. Love!
The location of this place is going to be dangerous! It's wayyy to close to home! I'll definitely be giving dining in a try! Being as greedy as I am when it comes to Japanese, and as excited I was about my food, I ate my entire plate AND the appetizer. I was miserable and uncomfortable the rest of the night, I didn't go to sleep until around 1am, but it was worth it!
