We just had dinner here tonight and.... It was o----kay. Nothing really was special about it. Our first thoughts were, for a Saturday night, this place was empty. It was just me and my 3 other companions. We were first intrigued by the looks of the previously posted pictures because it looked like Yoshinoya so we gave it a shot.
We ordered the following: Beef Gyudon, Beef Gyudon with Raw Egg, Beef Noodle Soup, Takoyaki, Fried Chicken, Fried Dumplings, and Unagidon. Since we used the Yelp check-in, we got the free upgrade combo which came with a miso soup and an ice cream.
First - service. The server who attended to us was very pleasant and very helpful. He explained how the food is to be ordered. Being the only customers there, he was obviously just focused on delivering good service.
Second - serving sizes. The sizes are relatively small. The rice bowls were REALLY small. Almost like an oversized ice cream bowl. Portion and proportion should also be considered. The beef bowl lacked in proportion with beef to rice ratio. Too much rice, too little beef.
Third - value for money. This is debatable because the prices ranged from $6-9 a bowl. But again, that's cheap for a downtown meal. But the value you get, to us wasn't worth it because we mainly got rice. The beef bowl should have had more beef in it or the bowl itself should've been bigger. The unagidon as well. The beef with noodles was okay but not great.
This place has potential but hopefully they work on it. Add more moisture to their beef bowls too. When presenting their food, make sure it looks like the pictures displayed (i.e. chicken should have dressing drizzled on top and not served on the side - believe me, sometimes presentation is all it takes to take a first time guest to becoming a returning customer).
