Feedback
The Yaki Udon and Gyoza lacked flavor - the Yaki sauce was watery and the Gyoza sauce tasted like vinegar. However, the Takoyaki was fantastic with delicious flavor and chewy squid. Although the inside seemed a bit runny, which I wasn't sure was normal for Takoyaki. I would rate it 8/10.
I found the Katsu Curry Rice at this restaurant to be disappointingly watery, more like a curry soup than the thick stew I was hoping for. The sauce lacked a strong curry flavor but had a slight spiciness. On the positive side, the katsu was fried well and had a satisfying crispiness. The Fried Buns were served with what seemed to be Kewpie mayo, and were warm, crispy, and fluffy. Overall, everything was delicious except for the curry sauce. I might try their sushi next time instead of giving into the temptation of the curry katsu.
Perhaps it was the time of day when I placed my order, but everything seemed to taste stale. The flavors were off and the textures were soggy. This is a first for me, so I'll let it pass this time, but I'll be honest and give it a 4 out of 5 stars.
Not the most amazing ramen, sushi, or bubble tea to be honest but I could get them all in the same place and they were still TASTY so Im a happy customer. My main complaint with the ramen is the egg wasnt seasoned. Maybe a minor detail but it makes a big difference for me! Sushi was fresh and tasty, though I probably couldve used more boba in my taro milk tea, but it wasnt overly sweet which I super appreciate.
