After reading so many great reviews, I thought I'd give this place a try. Unfortunately I was disappointed.
This restaurant is very small but at 5pm on a Sunday, there was plenty of room.
The service was fine. Attentive and quick to bring out the food but seemed to disappear by the time I wanted the bill.
At a glance, I was very excited by the menu. Lots of reasonably priced dishes, so we tried several different things. I'll list what my sister and I tried.
1) I had the wonton noodle soup and my sister had the original noodle soup. While both were very aromatic, the soup base was very bland. My wontons were wonderfully flavorful but the rest of the noodle soup was too bland to finish. And I couldn't find any soy sauce around to add some kind of flavor. Noodle soup: 1/5, wontons: 5/5
2) Squid rings and breaded shrimp. I'll lump these together because they provided similar experiences. Both were lightly battered and tasted great even though plum sauce was drizzled on top. I was a little disappointed that the sauce wasn't on the side but it was still enjoyable. 4/5
3) Takoyaki and breaded chicken skewers - both were ruined because wasabi sauce was drizzled on top. My sister and I cannot stand wasabi, so these were inedible to us. The chicken was actually pretty good from the little I had. Very disappointed that they didn't put the wasabi sauce on the side. 1/5
4) Popcorn chicken: fantastic! The chicken is diced a little bigger than I'd expect but this kept the chicken from drying out. The inside was juicy and delicious. 5/5
I was pretty disappointed in the meal as a whole but perhaps I just didn't order the right things. I appreciate some of what they offer but I think I'm just not a fan of some of their flavor profiles. I think if I were to have just ordered the popcorn chicken bento I would have had a much better experience.
