Avocado Salad
not yummy at all. avocado from nyc not as tasty, and didn't like the citrusy-grainy dressing. also they used lettuce, so meh
Chicken Skin Skewers
yes i did type that correctly, chicken skin. don't knock it til you try it. might sound gross, but it's crispy and full of flavor.
Pork Cheek
just so-so. pork cheek is a delicacy, and really tender meet. however the flavor here was lacking, and my mom makes better pork cheek
Chicken Karage
again just so-so. Ippudo's was better. i didn't like how they put shaved daikon on top, i didn't know what to do about it. also the piece of chicken were huge, i would have liked it more if they made it more into bite-sized pieces
Takoyaki
another major disappointment. batter was lacking, not enough sauce, the bonito flakes were faux, there wasn't octopus inside, or at least i couldn't tell. i honestly can't find a place that does takoyaki like they used to do it in Japantown in SF
American Kobe Beef
a waste of kobe beef. too salty, and meet was tender, but that was about it. no wow-factor
Ramen
definitely cannot compare to Ippudo
Okonomiyaki
another disappointment. i love okonomiyaki, let me tell you my friend Boo's who is white can make better. i myself can make better, naturally. the okonomiyaki here was like a bigger version of their takoyaki. the okonomiyaki wasn't seared enough, bonito flakes were lacking again, sauce was mediocre, and the ingredients inside were cheap.
