| - Let's review the food since it is why the boyfriend and I are essentially at the restaurant.
1. Sukiyaki Beef "Rice Burger" with a side of salad - $14
The dish arrived in the condition in the first picture. The "rice patty" arrived cracked, there was no way I could've picked it up and eat the whole thing like a burger. It is a money catch.
The rice shaped like a patty but certainly did not hold up like an actual bun. My experience with "rice patty" like Japan's Mos Burger would have had been lightly brushed with soy sauce to give it some flavour with a crispy outside.
The filling - sukiyaki beef tastes fine, beef wasn't too dry or old.
Pathetic Sukiyaki Beef "Rice Burger".
2. Japanese Fusion Fries - side fries upgrade $5
You must be kidding me. I regret not taking a picture before sending the dish back to the kitchen. When the fries arrived along with the burger, it looks like as if they have simply blanched the fries and served it. Last time I checked (and ate), fries were crispy unless it's meant to be in soggy shape but at least with a golden yellow colour. The boyfriend and I took a bite of the fries and I asked the waitress to send it back to the kitchen.
The second time the fries came back out, it was slightly better, but not much different to be honest.
We kept the fries this time but when we started eating the dressing on top of the fries, we realized the "Japanese Fusion Fries" had regular mayo on it, not the Japanese mayo. Odd.
It had nori (seaweed) on top, that's fine. But in the menu it also described that it has roe on top. So...... when it arrived and as seen in the picture, it certainly has a dollop of the roe, but not enough to have more than five fries with it.
Since it was an upgrade to the side fries that came with the soft shell crab burger, the owner made up the cost on the spot when we asked - $5 more. When the fries on it's own costs $7 on the menu. No problem, since I don't want to order extra food. But boy, if I were to order a fries there ever again (highly unlikely) it better only cost me $2.
Sad "Japanese Fusion" "Fries".
NOTE: Maybe they should go to "Hollywood" or "Blue Ocean" and see how real fries look and taste.
3. Soft Shell Crab Burger with side fries - $14
We better not have food poisoning tonight.
I don't know where to begin describe the burger.... I guess I'll start with the shock I had when the boyfriend took a bite into the burger. Running clear crab juice dripping out of the burger.
Yes.
Running clear crab juice. I don't think I've eaten a "fried" soft shell crab where I would bite into it and have running crab juice.
Then we peeled back the bun and discovered the dead corpse of a soft shell crab that looked so sad. Sad is how I describe the display of the soft shell crab because it must've been a painful death in the hand of the so call "chef" that's in the kitchen. (Boyfriend said it must've been a kid in the kitchen playing 'chef' slapping together horrible tasting food).
The soft shell crab had no taste, it was not seasoned, it was not crispy, it also looked very unappetizing.
The topping of the burger includes avocado, tomato, and lettuce, and ketchup. Not sure how I feel eating a runny soft shell crab with those toppings.
The "chef" should go to his/her average mall sushi stall and try their soft shell sushi roll, I don't believe it'll have clear running crab juice come out when he/she takes a bite.
Again, we better not have food poisoning tonight.
I promised the boyfriend I will be on good behaviour and not say anything unless the waitress asks how our food was . And the waitress did not ask. You'd think they'd ask for feedback since it's their "Grand Opening". But since she didn't ask and I never got the chance to give them feedback in person, thus resulting in this very long post.
Good Luck, Black Bear
