So many people seem unimpressed by this place that I wonder if I am losing my sense of taste (figuratively, literally; whatever). My wife and I quite enjoyed our lunch and the price was right.This isn't "Eat Drink Man Woman" and I'm not a famous chef so let's assume my palate is still legit. The pork loin tonkatsu we both had were slightly on the greasy side, but the panko was perfectly crisp and the pork was sufficiently juicy/fatty. I had my own moment of doubt about what kind of pig delivered
This isn't "Eat Drink Man Woman" and I'm not a famous chef so let's assume my palate is still legit. The pork loin tonkatsu we both had were slightly on the greasy side, but the panko was perfectly crisp and the pork was sufficiently juicy/fatty. I had my own moment of doubt about what kind of pig delivered up this flavor of meat (summed up nicely by bemysweet who says "豬排不是豬排?"). But I chewed on and the thought passed.
The sesame seed grinding gave us something to do while waiting for the food and the sauce tasted good in the end. Both citrus and wasabi sauces for the cabbage also pleased.
Not sure why the miso soup's taste was described as "怪怪". Maybe because it doesn't pretend to be an out-of-the-packet instant miso soup? The meat and vegetables in it made for a hearty and unusual flavor. I was a fan.
At least there doesn't seem to be much disagreement about the dessert. Well, except for my wife whose missing enzyme predisposes her against very milky tastes. I was happy to finish off hers for her.
All this for $218 for two people including a beer. I can think of many less enjoyable and mor expensive ways of spending a Saturday lunch.
