However, the teriyaki sauce was neither sweet nor sour, and instead packed an intense spicy punch. As I swirled the oddly textured, rubbery noodles, I discovered bits of scotch bonnet pepper lurking within, explaining the excessive heat that unfortunately was not indicated on the menu. On top of the unwelcome spice level, both the chicken and noodles suffered from dryness despite the sauce, with the meat lacking proper marination. The redeeming factor lay in the usual perfect roti that accompanied the meal, but the teriyaki soba itself proved a letdown. Next time, I’ll stick to my standard go-to, the amai katsu, to avoid getting burned by false advertising on the spice factor or stomaching overcooked noodles. This offering missed the mark for my preferences and fell short of expectations.
