| - So I came back... this time I brought the whole family with me. Last time, I tried the Katsu Ramen (soup), which I enjoyed. This time I wanted to try some of their rice dishes and other entrees, so we ordered:
For the kids - the Chicken Katsu entree (E-11). It came with a salad, rice and slices of chicken breast fillet, breaded and fried, with katsu sauce for dipping. A very simple meal that I think just about anyone could enjoy.
Home made pulled chicken and rice (R-3). For the kids again... it came in a big bowl, flavored rice topped with lots of shredded chicken. Quick, easy and good!
Grilled sliced beef entree (E-2). Came with a salad, rice and slices of grilled beef over a bed of lettuce. Very tender and flavorful. Like the Chicken katsu, another very simple meal that can be enjoyed by just about anyone. I also had a bowl of their spicy tom yum soup (C-2), a soup that I'm a huge fan of. I liked theirs, but it's just not prepared the way I'm used to. I'm used to the broth being more clear-ish and with lots of mushrooms and shrimp... theirs was cloudy with no mushrooms and little shrimp. Still not bad, but not sure I'd get it again.
Chicken & Coconut gravy noodles (N-2). Came in a big bowl, big portion. My wife had this. She said it was just "okay". Didn't really find a whole lot of flavor, not much chicken, and the noodles seemed like your regular egg noodles you'd get from any standard grocery store.
Finally, my parents got the Grilled seafood mix (E-9). It came with salad, rice, salmon, shrimp and an oyster. I tried some of it... and I've decided I know what I'm getting next time. This dish was da bomb! Shrimp perfectly seasoned and grilled - not overcooked!
The minor issue we all had with this visit was that our rice seemed a bit old - maybe had been sitting there all day. Parts of it were hard.
ALSO... on my first visit, and on their menu the rice bowls came with a salad, and the noodle bowls came with a side of onion rings or shredded taro or split pea fritters. On this visit, they no longer offered them and crossed them off their menus. Not sure what happened here.
Overall, a very good visit to discover many items on their menu. I think we'll be regulars here...
