Vraiment une expérience décevante. Nous avons commandé à ce restaurant & la qualité n'était vraiment pas là. En plus d'avoir des prix élevés pour une petite portion de karaage , il n'était pas bien cuit & n'avait aucun croustillant. Les takoyakis étaient beaucoup trop pâteux alors que j'adore les takoyakis en général. La seule chose qui était correcte était les makis.

My wife & I had an amazing evening lasting 2 hours here. We had the Haru menu for two. We added an entrée of Okonomiyaki which was probably too much food but we did not regret. Our hostess was pleasant & welcoming. Even endulged us with our pitiful attempt to speak some Japanese. We wanted an authentic Japanese meal & I can honestly say it was fantastic. The decor is quaint & had cute Japanese stationary, baby shoes, dolls & other cute decor at the main entrance. The service was not overwhelming & each dish had authenticity we were looking for. Dessert was to die for & homemade. Sushi & tempora shrimp & vegetables was delicious. Practice eating with chopsticks beforehand to really feel like you're in a Japanese home. Going back for sure! We parked on a side street but plenty available on a Friday night on Queen Mary .💜

L'endroit est mignon, le saumon était frais. Du reste, l'attente a été longue, avec une seule personne au service. Le bulgogi au boeuf était correct, mais plutôt insipide. Le bol de riz au saumon était quant à lui satisfaisant. Cependant, le poulet karaage n'était pas assez cuit, & nous avons tous deux été malades après le repas.
