Came here because Key's buddy Raymond had recommended the place..
The place was beautiful! Nice mood lighting, and because we had reserved seats, we were led to this area with cushions and nice screens...
food-wise, we were a bit thrown at first, since I'd done almost zero reading up, and I'd forgotten wwhat I'd read too. It turns out the place doesn't have the usual don kind of dishes which we were familiar with. I had kind of expected the price, though. Samsies had mentioned it was 'bout thirty per head.
Funny thing was, Key wanted rice, so we should have ordered the kamameshi, but in the menu they looked like noodles...
Still, we dove in and ordered three dishes:
1) Chicken Teriyaki - just chicken and some vegetables at the side. Was good but not fantastic.
2) Pork Yakisoba - this was pork and noodles. Noodles tasted great, and had a very smooth, easy-to-bite texture. Pork was chewy...
3) Kani Tomago Toji - which was crabstick, spinach and egg in a bit of broth. This was the best main dish. The crabstick tasted like real crab and had very good texture, spinach tasted great, and the egg complemented it perfectly.
As a side note, we ordered rice to accompany and the rice was just ordinary...
Afterwards we moved on to dessert, and this was where the restaurant really stood out.
This was the tofu cheesecake. It tasted fantastic, especially the texture of the tofu and the taste of cheese.. and the portion was just nice, too. This was of course compared to the ...
Green tea tiramisu, which at first tasted great - a clean kind of taste, very understated - but I got sick of it about halfway through simply because it was too creamy.Final verdict:
Very impressed with the dessert, main courses so-so. This is probably a good place to come out and hang out after the main meal somewhere else. Tofu cheesecake is a must, we packed two pieces back home for Key's dad and bro...
