Salad & Green Tea: (S) The waitresses were very good with filling our tea, they came around maybe 5 times within an hour. (J) I hardly drank any tea and they refilled my cup! Tea was nice and strong.

Teri Don: teriyaki chicken on rice, served with miso soup. (S) I really liked that the teriyaki sauce wasn't super sweet or salty like other places, it wasn't overpowering. The chicken was tender. Wasn't sure what those stick veggies were on top, maybe ginseng? (J) The bitter vegetables were interesting. Not as much sauce as I was expecting, but this was after eating eel.

Chio Chin Bento: fried chicken, sashimi, and eel on rice. (S) This was awesome, 3 in 1! (J) I loved this stackable bento box! So much variety, and everything tasted so good. Nice saucy eel with sliced egg; crispy and juicy chicken; soft sashimi. I'd order this all the time if I could.

Chocolate Sake Cake: (S) I know we got this last time as well, but I wanted to get something that we wouldn't be able to get elsewhere. It was good. (J) Yummy.

Green tea mousse cake: (S) Very light and airy, I could eat an entire cake! (J) You could really taste the green tea. I liked how it had red beans too. Awesome (pre) birthday lunch!

Side Dishes: potatoes, pickled radish, bean spouts, kimchi, tofu, and bonus free dumplings. (S) Yay for freebies! I liked the tofu and dumplings a lot! (J) Mmm pried dumplings. The potatoes were too peppery for me.

Miso soup

Beef Bibimbap: (S) This is my go-to Korean dish. I know it's never spicy, and it tastes good. I let the crackle die down before mixing it up, that's when you get the crispy rice. Yumm.

Vegetables Bibimbap (J) I felt like I needed to eat vegetables, and this hit the spot.

Curry Buffet Lunch (S) There wasn't much to choose from, but can't complain since it was a free lunch. I really liked the lamb curry and the samosa, J's dad commented that the naan was like pizza...mmm, garlicky pizza. The tandoori chicken was hard, could hurt someone with it. I thought the pecan tart was the better dessert. That jell-o thing had too much cream, wasn't a big fan. (J) The food was alright, nothing too spicy. I finally ate okra. Pecan tart was really good. The trifle really filled me up.

Matcha Green Tea Smoothie: "Japanese Matcha green tea blended with all-natural blueberry, raspberry, blackberry and strawberry purées, a splash of Ocean Spray cranberry juice and non-fat yogurt. Topped with fresh blueberries." (S) Tasted like Matcha + berries. I liked it, very impressed how the berries and matcha flavours complemented each other. (J) Great ingredients and flavours, but it was mostly ice.

The Amazing Vegetarian Burger: "Prepared with carrots, green zucchini, roasted garlic and a splash of balsamic vinegar with lettuce, tomato, dill pickle, and red onion." Served with sweet potato fries. (S) We're so healthy :P I forgot that it was a veggie patty and sweet potato fries are always amazing. (J) The fries were so good; crisp and delicate.

Cobb Salad: "Crisp iceberg lettuce topped with grilled seasoned chicken breast, green onions, tomatoes, Cheddar cheese, cucumbers, egg, bacon bits [and] ranch dressing on the side." (S) This was huuuge, I really liked that they separated all the ingredients for some reason. It came with an AMC movie ticket. (J) It was cold and seemed to last forever. Interesting presentation.

Dinner for 2 for $29.98

Lobster Bisque: (S) The soup was on the bland side. I enjoyed the clam chowder a lot more. (J) Had a fishy taste.

Clam Chowder: (S) Better than the lobster bisque. (J) Creamy. It was better than the lobster bisque.

Spring Lamb: (S) The lamb was actually very good. It was soft and moist, too bad there wasn't much of it. (J) Lamb was moist and tasty.

Salmon Lobster Florentine: (S) The salmon was pretty good, and we got 1 lobster claw, hehe. Sauce was fatty cream goodness. (J) Salmon was very good.

Dessert: custard with syrup at the bottom; served with tea (not shown). (S) Interesting dessert. I thought it was Crême Brulée and was excited, but it wasn't. Not bad though, I liked that you had to mix in the sweet from the bottom with the custard. (J) Tasted like maple syrup at the bottom. Caramelized sugar on the top would have been better.

Quarter Chicken Dinner: with vegetables. (S) Had to use up a coupon! Yummy as always. (J) Yeah we finally got to use the BOGO coupon from the Festive Special.

Totopos: (nachos) with guacamole. (S) I liked that there was a salsa bar with mild to spicy salsas to choose from. The guacamole was so good. (J) Creamy guacamole. Good portion size.

Huaraches: with mushrooms. (S) This is a seemingly simple dish, but it wasn't bad! I liked the mushrooms...it was kinda like an open softshell taco. (J) I liked the corn taste. Surprisingly filling.

Burrito: with barbacoa (lamb); large size, served with peppers and onions. (S) Omg, the lamb was so good. I liked the burrito a lot! (J) You could taste the lamb. One of these would fill you up for a long time.

Pastel de Tres Leches: (S) I really liked this dessert, it was really wet but the flavours worked well together. I liked that the cream on top wasn't so sweet since the sauce was already sweet. (J) So light and moist. Very tasty. A light milky taste.
