Friendly, knowledgeable cashier that is flexible in accommodating your requests, and can give recommendations according to your tastes. Large dining area with above table outlets scattered throughout.
Order and pay at the cashier:
-Choose you base - brown/white rice, udon noodles, yakisoba noodles, rice noodles or super grains combo (sprouted brown rice, black quinoa, green wheat freekeh)
-Choose your protein -chicken, beef, shrimp, tpfu, veggie, combo of two). You can double the amount of protein for an additional $2.99.
-Choose your sauce (see pic for choices).
They cook up their food Teppanyaki style (prepared on an iron griddle) so it comes out quick and hot. You have the option of requesting for your food to be cooked with water instead of their secret Asian cooking sauce to cut down on salt.
I chose beef with udon noodles topped with hot and spicy sauce. There wasn't enough sauce to coat the noodles so I went back to ask for more and they were more than willing to accommodate me. The beef was mediocre but the noodles and sauce were delicious; you can purchase their bottled sauces 350 ml for $4.99.
Hubby got the Typhoon bowl: shrimp not fresh and the noodles were overcooked and sticky. We tried the gyoza but they tasted bland and parts of the edges were hard. Thought about getting the eggrolls but they looked greasy and not fresh (they were sitting under heat lamps).
Right before we left I saw some fruit jelly cups for $1 so I got one of each flavor: Lychee, Mango, Strawberry and Coconut. You can't go wrong with fruit jellies; my favorites are the tropical fruit ones. You can find them next to the salads.
Would come back to try their spicy udon noodle soup and rice bowls.
