After a long wait, my boyfriend finally agreed to try this place out. It is located in first markham place so you already know it will be a hassle trying to find parking. TIP: stay idle in one lane and someone is sure to get out! It's a pain to circle around the lot trying to find parking! We waited like 5 minutes until someone came out.
When we first walked in, we were greeted immediately by all of the staff. We were seated and there was water in a cup already on our table. The place had a nice atmosphere and amazing decor.
I really wanted to try the hot pot but my boyfriend didn't want it so we opted for don rice.My bf got N02 which was beef and chicken with mabu special sauce with egg on rice. I got the pork with egg on rice. I should have gotten a noodles dish instead, my pork was really delicious though.
For apps, we got the takoyaki- which was to die for. It tasted so much better with the wasabi. I love the heat of the wasabi on it. We also got the popcorn chicken. DO get it. They were so generous with the portion of the popcorn chicken I swear it can be eaten on it's own as a meal. It was so tender and juicy and seasoned very well! Best 9 bucks spent on chicken! I would definitely go again just to get the chicken! It wasn't your normal battered chicken, it was seasoned very well and had some nice spices.
The service was top notch, although one of the servers messed up an order. She gave us the wrong order which belonged to the table right beside us, I thought it was odd because there was no chicken in it and my bf already ate half of it when another server brought out both of our dishes.
Other than that, it was a good experience. The food was delicious. Do get the popcorn chicken!
