| - Been seeing pictures of this place blowing up on my social media so of course, I gotta check this place out myself! I read a lot of the yelp reviews for this place and went for items that were recommended by many yelpers.
I ordered the House Chicken Teppan-yaki Rice while my boyfriend ordered the Supreme Beef Rice. There's also a variety of "add-ons" to choose from such as mushrooms, cheese, fried garlic, green onions, corn, etc. All of these "add-ons" costs from $0.50-$1. I added on some cheese and it was served to me on the side. When our order came, it was served on a hot, sizzling stone plate. The aroma of the food just wants to make you dig right in! But, be careful and don't stick your nose into it immediately because a few pieces of corn popped out of the plate due to it being so hot! Wait for it settle for a few mins, remove the paper surrounding and then, dig in!
Once I punctured my rice, I found a little surprise... it was filled with a sweet-salty sauce (reminded me of teriyaki sauce, but not as sweet). The chicken was surprising juicy and tender and it went perfectly with the lightly seasoned rice. Something so simple put together yet tastes so delicious!
I tried some of my boyfriend's Supreme Beef Rice and it was not as great as others have described it to be. (Perhaps, it was the chef that day? Something went wrong in the kitchen? Didn't give enough time for the beef to marinate? Idk..) The beef was pretty much tasteless... not as juicy as the chicken and definitely not as tender. Pretty disappointing when it's one of their top recommended dishes.
We also ordered the Cheesy Japanese Rice Cakes as an appetizer and oh boy... this thing is definitely NOT an appetizer to start with at all! It was indeed VERY cheesy and VERY filling. I'd prefer the rice cakes in slices instead of cylinder chunks, but hey, if you like it chunky then by all means go for it! The cheesy sauce was mixed with some kimchi so it made it a bit spicy and sour. It was a yummy dish however, after a few spoons of it, you'd start to get sick of it. So, don't try to have this all to yourself... you will be stuffed before having the main course (...and with a gazillion of calories, haha)!
Service was OK. They come to you when you wave them down however, they did tend to forget to bring the Cheesy Japanese Rice Cakes that we ordered. Our sizzling hot rice came first before our app. We asked about our rice cakes two times before it came to our table. It finally came when we were almost done our rice... not really happy about that.
However, I will be back to try their lunch special and their desserts (although, its presentation is quite bizarre.. it looks like a pot of soil. Bizarre but unique!) As for now, it's a 4-stars for me!
