I really enjoyed our meal here. It wasn't perfect but it was pretty close.
This is in the old Happy Goat location, which before, was another restaurant. On the inside, not a lot change since the coffee shop days, and that space works well for this business, so all good.
The menu is online using a scannable code and your phone, so you can peruse it before you get there.
There is a lot in the menu I still want to try. They encourage sharing, so we will eventually try everything.
We ordered the Citrus Cured Aburi-style Salmon from the raw menu page, as well as, from the plates menu page, Creamy Fried Brussels Sprouts with an add on of pork belly, and Chicken Karaage. This was plenty of food for two people: we were comfortably full when we left.
Of the three things we order, the Brussel sprouts with Pork Belly was the biggest surprise, so much flavour and mouth feel. This dish will bring us back. The salmon was also excellent, just not as surprising as the sprouts. The chicken was slightly overcooked, but also tasty.
They have a small curated drinks menu, with beer, wine, saki and cocktails. I tried the Izumi Plum Junmai, and found it delicious and perfect with what we were eating. Yum!
We were able to get a patio seat in the lovely weather. Even though we were right at a fairly busy corner, it felt comfortable. I did not notice the traffic, just the low hum of quiet conversations around us
The person serving us was low key, knowledgable and happy to answer all questions. read more
