Wanted to try their seasonal salad platter, sold out.
They recommended the Onsen tamago salad (hot spring egg), 5 minutes later - sold out.
Ok.. lets try the wagyu salad. It's on the menu as "che'f recommendation" (in gold sticker).
first impression: looks like roast beef.
not much salad, but just beef and a soury appetizing sauce. its not bad, but the beef may be overly cold. When I try to fold it it sort of snaps in half.
ordered an eel roll. nothing special, wouldn't order it again. the choice of rolls are very limited.
the one of 2 sake availabel on the menu that we ordered - one was 300ml, this is 720ml.
the don't have black cod anymore, so they substituted it with flat fish. tasted a bit like black cod! oily/fatty with soft skin texture, and it can break off by the lines of the meat as you poke it with your chopsticks. didn't really need the miracle whip.
tong yum cold noodles. everyone else around us were ordering ramen, this didn't feel like a place to eat ramen, i would rather go to a ramen joint. so we decided to try this cold noodle. the tong yum sauce/dressing is very light, not as strong as I anticipated. Noodle texture is chewy, not bad, its worth a try. I hope they can make the tong yum dressing stand up more though.
for a place that sells ramen, their noodles have quality. its not komiya noodles.
very tempted to try their sashimi. their today's special platter is $168 for 3 kinds (hamachi, snapper, and goby shrimp. I went a la carte and got salmon ($28) and hamachi ($48). I could've doubled this up and still be cheaper than the special (because I am not a fan of shrimps, and the snapper doesn't seem amusing).
its thick cut! fresh.. very fresh! not fridged too long, and its got that silky effect in your mouth!
hamachi - less fatty than the salmon, but also thick cut, and they cut up as squares on top, that was fun to chew. i should just come back for their sashimi!very satisfying meal. i would come back for their sashimi, grilled fish, and the noodles!
Overall, their menu is limited. they have like 4-6 types of ramen, 4 or 5 types of salad (of which 2 were sold out), and under 6 items to choose from from their maki roll section, deep fried section, and hot food section. sashimi wise there were like a dozen.
maybe they want to maintaint their quality so they limit their menu i suppose.... but theres room for growth!
