Not a long time after we ordered, one by one of our order came. First was mommy’s it was
UNAGI CRISPY ROLL
I didn’t try it but mommy liked it. So I think it was tasty because mommy is a good cooker so she is not easily satisfied with food. She said the eel were crispy but soft in savory flavour and it blended perfectly with the veggie and sushi rice.
Then our appetizer came , they were
PORK GYOZA
A portion of their gyoza contained 7 pieces of it so it was enough for 3 of us. Gyoza actually is pan fried Japanese dumpling. Made by fry steam fry method, it had crispy but soft skin with tasty meat filling. It tasted savory and served with ponzu sauce which had a bit sour savory flavor.
Still in appetizer category, we had their
ASSORTED TEMPURA
Their assorted tempura contained ebi tempura, many veggie tempura and also kakiage (tempura from small cut veggie). Their tempura had crispy texture with light savory flavor. It also served with savory soy sauce which served hot.
Finally what I had been waiting for arrived to our table
CHICKEN TERIYAKI SET
Their chicken teriyaki had soft texture with tasty smoked skin. It had sweet and savory flavor, umami. It was so delicious that amazed mommy which also tried it. Well it made her wondered how to cook it, haha.
Their chicken teriyaki didn’t come alone. Set means it came with fried potato, boiled corn, Gohan (rice), potato croquette, miso soup and macaroni salad. Plus chawan mushi that came later (you must try it too!).
My boyfriend also ordered from grill category, that day he had
BEEF HAMBURGER STEAK SET
Their beef hamburger steak was soft and smooth. It had savory flavor and also served with Sunny side up egg. Tasty but I chose my favorite chicken teriyaki than all haha.
His beef hamburger also came with set, like mine. And guess what? He loved the miso soup it came with cause we could taste the deep miso flavor which he never found in any other japanese restaurant.
Of course I will be back there for my favorite chicken teriyaki! And i guess you should come there for their delicious japanese food too and try my favorite chicken teriyaki...
