| - Food: 9/10 -- Value: 7/10 -- Service: 8/10 -- Ambiance/Décor: 8/10
Would I come again? Yeah.
-- Skewers: Mentai Chicken ($2), Chicken Heart ($2), Wasabi Beef ($2.50) - Of the three, wasabi beef was my favourite. Even visually, it stands out with the contrasting colour of the wasabi sauce and strips of seaweed. Both of the chicken skewers were good too, which is a generic description, but I don't remember them tasting like much out of the ordinary. I completely forgot that someone ordered chicken hearts because I didn't notice a taste or texture difference.
-- Renkon Chips ($2) - These lotus root chips were delicious to me in a "fried beyond all recognition" kind of way. I like unhealthy junk food, so this fit the bill, but taste-wise, don't expect much.
-- Super Size Chicken Katsu ($10.50) - This was a giant piece of chicken, much like downtown's shiny new Hot Star Large Fried Chicken, but this came with two sauces. We picked wasabi and another sauce with the longest name that was like a sweet soya sauce. It was crispy (although the breading separated from the chicken very easily), flavourful, and moist on the inside.
-- Signature Onigiri ($2.80) - This was probably the most boring thing. While onigiri is literally a rice ball, this was just so plain that I was like...what is the point of this? There was a sweet soya/teriyaki sauce on the bottom and I guess the "value" comes from the roe topper, which doesn't taste like much. I feel like it's less of a "signature", more of a "basic" or "classic". I'd skip it.
-- Polar Beer Chicken Wings ($10) - It was 10 wings for $10, which isn't bad. They were really crispy and whatever seasoning was on them was delicious; a little sweet, a little salty. I'm not sure where the polar beer factored in...?
-- Gy?don ($10.50) with extra beef ($2) - I guess it was our fault that we didn't know that gy?don is literally just sauce, rice, beef, and onions, because it was a bit underwhelming. The extra beef came in a separate container, almost as if to emphasize how little they were giving you. Like the Signature Onigiri, this was definitely more on the basic, classic end of the spectrum; thoroughly average and unexciting.
The service was pretty good. Cheerier from the female wait staff. The restaurant is comfortably spaced out and clean, and there's a little diversion in the front door to prevent the cold outside air from blowing in on anyone. While some dishes definitely stood out among others, the worst dish was still good.
