| - Awesome meat, but bland udon which is unfortunate considering they only serve udon (thick noodle dishes) and don (over rice). My boyfriend's udon was so bland he actually didn't even finish it. However, the chicken karage that goes on top was juicy with a light and crisp tempura batter. My beef gyu don was good, but fairly basic. I also thought it was odd that they put edamame still in the pod in my bowl. The outside isn't edible and I don't like having to pick out the pea pods. I am faced with the dilemma or fumbling with my chopsticks or getting my hands messy to eat the peas from their pod. My boyfriend was also faced with a similar dilemma because he had a whole piece of corn cob in his dish.
Drinks! Very odd they don't serve leaf tea! No green tea or jasmine tea in bags!?! Whaaaat? You will be forced to order drinks from their specialty list of hot and cold milk teas (made from powder or syrup) or have water. Ironically, you can get matcha milk tea -- although mine was chalky in taste because it had not been stirred and heated enough. It's one saving grace is that if you are patient enough to wait for the marshmallows to melt, your tea will be nicely sweetened.
Some highlights of the meal were the appetizers. We had the battered shrimp with mayo, and cheese corn. Both were awesome! The cheese corn has a pool of a soya based dipping sauce at the bottom which was delicious. I have never had corn dressed up this way and it was great! :) I will totally make this at home one day.
Service was a bit disorganized. When we walked in, two waitresses wanted to assign us to a table on two separate occasions. One said she would clean a table for us to sit at, despite there being four or five available tables of appropriate size for us. Another waitress then asked to seat us and we mentionned we were already being helped so she went to help clean down the table we were to sit at. I don't think the waitresses had discussed who would ACTUALLY be serving our table. Our menus were down and set aside, but despite this, we were passed by several times before I had to stop one of the waitresses to politely ask to order.
All in all this restaurant is still fairly new, so having a new wait staff is forgiveable. Their appetizers were great! Rice dishes were good and udon (soup) could be better. I also like that they offer some dishes that are different from the typical japanese places I have been before. With some fine tuning, this could be a really good little restaurant. :)
