| - A bit out of the way, but this place definitely serves up some unique Japanese dishes. The mochi pancakes were slightly disappointing to me, which was a shame as I was really looking forward to it.
My partner and I came here on a Saturday for brunch. We were instantly greeted once we walked in and seated right away. The decor of the restaurant is very fresh, inviting, and cosy. It looked like a place I could eat mochi ice-cream and read here all day.
Mochi Pancakes with Bacon and Eggs - As mentioned, I wasn't the happiest. I was expecting the egg to be poached as it seemed like it. However, it was fully cooked as I tried to break into it. The pancakes were thick, dense, and a bit dry in my opinion. I had hoped, after reading the other reviews here on Yelp, that at least the pancakes might be moist but alas, it felt like I was eating two flat scones.
Loco Moco (burger patties, egg, onion rings) - Quite a flavorful dish, with a very unique combination of egg and onion rings. It was very good, but not spectacular.
Iced Vietnamese Coffee - This was superb. Too bad there aren't more places downtown that serve Vietnamese coffee like this!
Ube Mochi Ice-cream - Definitely a must try if you're craving something cold and you've just been sticky and sweating buckets.
The staff was super friendly throughout the entire time we were there and very attentive! Not only to my partner and I, but also to many of the other customers.
Personally, I don't think I'll make a return trip here again as I wasn't too thrilled about the food. If you do decide to come on by, I wouldn't recommend the mochi mochi pancakes but there are so many other dishes that looked really good, savory and sweet.
