| - Came here for the first time because another sushi place near by had a lineup. Although New Gen was also really busy for lunch, my boyfriend and I were able to be seated immediately. However, we were seated only 3 inches away from the table next to us, so we decided to shift away a bit more but ended up on slightly uneven ground. Thus, my boyfriend had to keep his foot on the table leg during the whole meal so we would not wobble!
The lunch prices were good, but the variety of rolls weren't, so I ordered the lunch special chicken katsu udon noodle soup. My boyfriend ordered the Take Bento Box with beef teriyaki and we also got a Red Dragon Maki on the side to share.
The miso soup was extremely salty and the salad was okay. The bento box was decent, and the salmon and cucumber maki rolls that came with it were big portions. The Red Dragon Maki was passable, but looked a bit sloppy and it didn't come with wasabi nor ginger on the side. Unfortunately, my udon noodles were NOT tasty. The noodles didn't seem like fresh udon. The noodles were flat, very similar to linguine or other Asian noodles. Definitely not the thick round udon noodles that I'm used to. The broth was watered down and tasty funny, and the katsu was soggy by the time I got my dish because they put the chicken into the broth instead of leaving it on the side.
I was quite disappointed at this place because I thought I had heard some good things about it in the past. There are definitely more worthwhile sushi/Japanese restaurants in the neighbourhood. I probably will not return to New Generation.
