| - Rough times at Miss Things. Sure it looks beautiful, but the experience was marred by the indifferent service and poorly executed food. Even more disappointing was the fact that I really anticipated liking the menu - it's posted on their website and promised good, fresh and simple eats, reasonably priced (for the area anyway). In reality, its expensive due to the small portions (relative to its competition in and around the neighbourhood) and amateurish. Specifically, the poke is oversauced, the delicate and (presumably) fresh tuna overpowered by a thick and potent sauce, perched on a lettuce leaf its basically a mayo-ey tuna salad. The pork buns were good, but overly dry until you got to the last bite and really nothing special. Likewise the loco moco - better versions of both can be found at your average Chinese place. A high note was the Lobster ramen - good broth, great noodles but again foiled by a tough, nearly impossible to chew chunk of lobster floating around - an afterthought that spoils the otherwise good broth.
Too bad Miss Thing's, I was ready to really like this place...
