| - I believe this place should get more stars than its average rating! This is the second time I've been here and both times have been an amazing experience for me!
Most of their combinations come with a free $1.99 hot drink which I think is a great deal!
The first time I came, I tried their spinach noodles in the pork bone soup with pork jowl and sliced squid ($8.75) with a side of pork tenderous ribs (+$2.25). I also tried their famous submarine baked pork chop with tomato sauce on rice ($9.95). The soup was tasty but not overbearing. It is different than the really rich soup bases you would get for ramen. I think a lot of people come in here expecting it to be something that its not supposed to be and end up disliking it by comparing it to the wrong thing. It was a very clear broth and was more refreshing. The tenderous ribs were to die for. They melted in my mouth and was incredibly flavourful. The submarine dish was huge and very filling. The pork chop itself was thick and juicy and I enjoyed this dish a lot. I think the dish was a cute idea. It seemed like a lot of people thought this was gimmicky and full of carbs. I had some of the bread with the tomato sauce and I honestly didn't see the need to eat the whole thing. I appreciate that they are trying to create something new and create a signature dish for themselves. It does seem to draw people in to try it and take photos, so it seems to be doing its job!
The second time I went I tried their new fried eggs, another noodle soup and their sake chicken on rice ($6.95). Their new fried quail eggs wrapped in pork was delectable. Note that they do prepare this fresh, so there will be a wait of 20 minutes after ordering it. It seemed that the pork used to surround the quail eggs were not of poor ground pork quality. The egg yolks also seemed to have been extracted, mixed in with a creamy sauce before placing it back into the egg white, wrapped in the pork and then fried. For $8.95, you'll be getting 6 eggs which take a lot of work to prepare. I believe it was a pretty good deal! It's great to see the restaurant improve themselves and create more and more signature dishes for themselves. This time I tried their house noodles in a tomato soup base with beef tendon and lobster balls. I had two large pieces of tendon and 4 pieces of the lobster balls. The tomato soup base was richer than the pork bone soup I had last time and the noodles were just as great! The sake chicken and the rice on the side were also incredibly marinated!
Both times the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They had laughs with us and didn't look unhappy or give us attitude. They tried their best to help us with any accommodations that we had such as giving us a small container of sauce for the fried eggs when we needed to pack some to go. The wait time for the food wasn't long either. I definitely took advantage of their VIP card. For $20, you get a card that allows you to get 10% off every time you go there when you pay with cash as well as a $20 off coupon for the next time you go. In a way you would be becoming a VIP for free if you visited again. You also get a vicinity card which allows you to collect points for every $10 you spend there.
If I had to pick at any flaws in the restaurant, I would say that there is only one female staff member who wasn't as friendly as the rest. Also, the knife might not have been too sharp for cutting the sake chicken which caused a bit of small bone shards in my rice which annoyed me a little bit, but only a few pieces were affected. Overall, I would definitely say two thumbs up for this place! Definitely give this place a try!
