March 22nd, 2025: Friday night was an 8 Course Omakase…read moreDinner ($58/person) for my friends and I. Immediately I ordered a Takasago Plum ($12). It's a Japanese plum/apricot infused with junmai sake from Ishikawa, Japan. It smelled like whiskey, but I throughly loved it. It was sweet and fruity, a great drink to sip on. Now into the 8 courses: 1st course - Agebitashi: We thought we'd be getting eggplant, but think it was zucchini. Either way, it was soaked in what tasted like light dash and soy sauce based broth. We really liked this. 2nd course: Japanese sweet potato tempura with maple ginger cheese sauce and almond slices. It tasted really good, not greasy at all. True Japanese style tempura. 3rd course: Two slices of Atlantic salmon sashimi and two slices of yellow fin tuna sashimi. We were impressed with the light flavour, wasn't super fishy tasting at all. 4th course - Kaijiru: Claim miso soup with Asari Manila clams. Very flavourful. 5th course: Their signature grilled Yakitori skewers. One was chicken, one was cherry tomatoes and the other was pork belly. The pork belly was melt in your mouth, one of our favourites. 6th course: Aburi Salmon rolls with cream cheese. It was fire-tourced in-front of us. These were bigger than expected, we were getting full by this part. 7th course: Half size tonkotsu ramen. It was topped with a chain pork slice, half egg, bamboo and nori seaweed. This was my favourite. The depth of flavour in this bowl is astounding. I also whole heartedly love warm, marinated eggs. 8th course: Hand made vanilla icecream. Good finish to the night. We were very full by the end and were happy for a light finish. All of us were left extremely happy. Service was great and attentive. All in all, took us just over 2hrs for everything. We were very full by the end of it. I highly recommend this dinner if you love Japanese food. March 28th, 2025: Today I wanted to try the Rising Sun Pop-Up Ramen in Tipsy Samurai ! They're open week day lunch hours. It was a genuine Japanese experience! Very similar to Ichiran's solo dining experience in Japan. In this case, you don't have to come solo. On my paper, I got a 20oz ($11), with Star Premium Tonkotsu Pork Broth. I added on roasted garlic oil ($1.5), 2 pieces of pork with a marinated egg ($4), buttered corn ($1), Naruto fish cakes ($1), and green onion ($1). Totalling $19.50 before tax. I really enjoyed it! It's a fun way to experience ramen, have a quick lunch and it tasted good. My only suggestion is that they also make a block for noodle texture. My noodles were firm, when I would have liked medium or soft noodles. But, I will write this down next time either way. Also! They don't accept tips! This is a huge reflection of Japanese culture. It's very much a serve yourself experience. You literally just sit down, fill out your form, give your form to the bar, grab your own water and sit down. They only bring you your food, check on you once and clean up after you. If you decide to tip, the tips go to charity.

For me, the sauce:hot dog ratio was perfect! It was so crunchy and flavourful - I wish I got another Ramen Chip one * Gamsung (potatoes) (beef & chicken * This one I like a lot less; it was very dough-y inside and the pairing with potatoes on the outside made it a bit dry. I topped it with spicy mayo sauce and cheese seasonings - I love the sauce and cheese but it didn't help much with the overall dough-y dryness. Not sure if I want to try this one again since it's very much like a hot dog with fries taste that I can do without. In conclusion, I HIGHLY recommend Ramen Chip with Teriyaki Sauce + Butter Garlic pairing = amazing. However, I think next time I'll also add spicy mayo on it for am extra spice kick

Summary: best place in the city for fast, tasty affordable sushi…read more Went on Saturday at 11am, was not busy. Service: FAST! I was quite happy Decor: nothing special Drinks: free water with lemon in a pitcher. Strange choice of hard plastic kids cups Food: miso soup which I dont normally like was great. Vegetarian Combo 1 included yam, broccoli (amazing!!) And onion tempura. Rolls were avacado/cucumber/carrot and yam tempura with a very tasty sauce

Menu broad for an Izakaya, but offered much to tempt the palette.i opted for the Takoyaki Roulette with a spicy garnish sauce. Delicate and flavorful. The Chicken Karaage which was excellent, Togarashi fries ( unusual but moorish)and the Vegetable and pork Goyoza. An ice cold Sapporo washed it down. While I focused on the Japanese Tapas, the menu features traditional ramen, Yakisoba noodles and sushi. Pretty good all in all

Ordered ramen and spicy sushi…read more The tonkatsu ramen actually had good broth but the noodles are one step above ramen noodles and the pork belly tastes boiled and has no charring at all. The tuna roll was the worst sushi I have had in my life. It was a California roll topped with tuna BITS and topped with Siracha sauce. The rice tastes mushy not fresh. The best part about this place is the Sapporo on tap!! I'm giving three stars because of the Sapporo and good customer service. Come here, get drunk on Soporro, then go eat somewhere else.
