Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
This place was really pretty and the menu was very attractive so we thought we would give it a try. However, I think the prices were very expensive for some normal entrees, signature dish was underwhelming, and they couldn’t get some of the basic things right (dry minced pork, solid yolk in onsen egg, etc.). It was nice to snap a few instagrammable photos here but we probably wouldn’t come back again…
Decor: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The only reason why I gave 3 instead of 2 stars is because this place was an eye candy!! Nice flowery decor everywhere, flower board outside for photos, flowers hanging from the ceiling, chairs were pink and tables, and the plates and cups were nice looking…
Drinks 水果茶: ⭐️⭐️ Really tiny glasses, the size of an espresso cup, of fruit tea for $8.99 plus tax and tips. The pot held two glasses and each glass had about one mouthful of beverage. We didn’t know until later that they actually would refill our tea! That was a plus but the refill was already diluted. Tea was good but I could get at least triple what we had with that price…
Crab Tamagoyaki 香醇蟹粉日式玉子燒: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very good but I could not taste the tiny amount of crab at all.
Teriyaki Chicken over Rice 燒雞腿扒丼飯: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Good chicken, just what I expected from a teriyaki chicken rice but it was too pricey for such a generic dish.
Onsen Tamago 溫泉蛋: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was probably the best thing (and it came with the rice) I tasted all night. The sauce was on point and the egg was good. The only thing was that the yolk was a little over cooked and it was solid instead of runny.
Crab Noodle 招牌黃金萬兩蟹黃麵 (不含黃金): ⭐️⭐️ This was supposed to be the signature dish and the whole point of why we were getting this combo. A la carte price was ~$40(?). I was expecting the flavor to be stronger than 賽螃蟹 (crab stir fry with egg white). However, the crab was over cooked (I’d rarely tried crab that’s so rough), the sauce was sort of tasteless, and it was very watery. Noodle was okay so I kept a couple stars.
Free vegetable that came with the rice: ⭐️ hmm, how could the minced pork be so dry…. I thought you couldn’t go wrong with minced pork in Taiwanese dish? Even boba cafes could do minced pork better…
