| - After seeing browsing the reviews, I can say I basically agree with everything that's been said... to an extent.
The interior is fantastic and the 2AM closing on weekends is pretty awesome. Had this place been here about 12 years ago, this would be one of my Asian date places. That being said, it's not the year 2000 and the reality is that this place is over priced and just not worth it (I'd prefer Ten Ren's). They've got a really large selection which is great and all but it's a bit overkill. I haven't tried the food there but a lot of customers there seemed to be ordering a lot of it (mostly the sweets but I did see a table with some fried food too) so it can't be too bad right? I was with 3 others and we each tried each others drinks and all 4 of our options were a bit too sweet in my opinion. And of course, over priced. Also, I was told the WiFi there is free but none of my table could connect. Bad day? Maybe our phones all coincidentally went crazy for our 1.5 hour stay there..... Who knows.
I ended up getting the Wheat Germ Soy.... I don't know why or what came over me that compelled me to do this but that's what I got and it actually wasn't too bad. In fact, of the 4 drinks we had at my table, it was my favorite. It kind of reminded me of a half decent protein shake I've made before. Black Sesame Taro Soy for my girlfriend and it was just far too sweet for me to enjoy. My bud got Avocado milk and actually this wasn't too bad. Kind of hard to screw this one up but they added a bit too much sugar for me. My bud enjoyed it though. His friend got something similar to my girlfriends except there was ice cream on top of it. I had one sip and my blood sugar definitely went up.
The service seems to be a common complaint but really, it's not actually that bad. To me it's like classic Asian service..... the kind of service you would get in Asia. They come to you when you call them over. Otherwise they leave you be. Not really a bad thing in my opinion because you don't feel rushed to get out of there and when we did call a server over or for the bill, they were there within 30 seconds. I guess this would be a common complaint seeing as we are in Canada and all but honestly, it's the service most Asians would expect... Unless you're dining at a Michelin star restaurant over there.
Anyway, will I be back? If I'm in the area maybe. It deserves another chance. It's a nice place, the biggest problem here are the prices. All our drinks were either $5.99 or $6.99. You would get the same from say Ten Ren's for $4.99-$5.99.
