I love the concept of the place and am not sure I've ever seen this broad of an Asian fusion concept before. I decided on the mango chicken which was quite good; the chicken was lightly breaded and fried and still crispy in the sauce. The flavor was good; it's labeled as spicy but definitely wasn't. They do have chili sauce on the table though so easy to add more heat. Heads up that rice is not included and needs to be ordered as a side if you want it. Entrees came out within minutes of ordering and beat our spring rolls to the table by a fair amount of time. Service was good and we really appreciated that a staff member asked us if we wanted the shade next to our table pulled down so the sun wouldn't be in our faces. Location is in a strip mall with plentiful parking.

I got the pear ginger cocktail which was refreshing and pretty good size - lasted throughout our meal. We got 4 appetizers for two of us to share: sushi tacos, fried chicken, lobster shumai and beef bao. Sushi tacos were my favorite for sure. I love ahi tuna and the texture and spice were perfection. The flavor of the KFC Fried chicken was really tasty as well. We got a little messy and had to wash our hands several times, but overall great experience. Service was excellent. Ambiance was nice. We'll definitely be back to try more things.

It's not often that we find East Asian food in this area, so we had high hopes considering the reviews. Although our food tasted and looked great, the prices seemed a bit too high for the portion size and ingredients. I could see these prices at a fine dining establishment, but the ambiance felt more of a typical local bar/restaurant than fine dining. Perhaps we're too used to the plethora of East Asian food options in the GTA. I will say that the use of Cumbrae's meat stood out in the poutine (super tender!), as well as the rich broth in the shumai.

I had high hopes of this izakaya but unfortunately the expectations fell short…read more The vibes were fun, but the restaurant is quite cramped and a bit too loud. I felt I had to shout in order for my friend to hear me who was sitting right across from me. I ordered: - brussel sprouts ($12) - tasty but salty - shrimp risotto ($22) - rice uncooked & salty - corn croquette ($10) - this was good - skewers sampler ($34) - quite overpriced for 6 skewers - forgot what drink was call but it was $8-$10 and was also very bland Everything was just overly salty. The only items I would order again is the brussel sprouts and corn croquette. However, portion size was quite small and not worth it overall.

We ordered "Flaming Japanese Style Fried Chicken" from the appetizers menu. For main, we ordered "Angus Steak Set with Rice" and Super Deluxe Teppanyaki Rice". Everything was fresh and flavourful. We loved the sizzling plates when they were served. Also, October-born customers get a free chocolate or green tea lava cake with ice cream.

There are different locations throughout the GTA, serving the exact same menu and concept. Service is fast and efficient. You order on your phone by scanning the QR code on the table. Food comes out within ~5 minutes - very fast! The menu is quite extensive. They have a wide variety of teppanyaki rice sets available, as well as noodles, mini hot pot (including individual servings), and various drinks and Asian desserts. I love that you can customize each dish by adding the add-ons (additional ingredients). You can even "build your own teppanyaki set" by choosing the carbs, sauce, protein(s), and add-ons (including vegetables). We only tried the teppanyaki rice sets this time around. The Sizzling Japanese-Style Assorted Vegetables consisted of cabbage, green pepper, zucchini, mushrooms, and corn. This was listed under "snacks" category, and we thought it would be a good veggie dish accompaniment to the other main dishes. I found it to be very salty and saucy. It had an aftertaste that I didn't really like. The pieces of green pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms were very small, that you could barely taste them. It was mostly white cabbage shreds and corn. The 3 teppanyaki rice sets (including one deluxe set) were good. The Jumbo Unagi Teppanyaki Rice was one of my favourites - the unagi there was "jumbo" indeed (biggest and longest I had ever seen that was served with a rice set in a restaurant). I liked that it wasn't doused with too much unagi sauce wich tends to be sweet and sticky. There was a good amount of meat in the unagi as well. Salmon & Shrimps Teppanyaki Rice Set and Seafood Rice Set (salmon, scallops, shrimps) were also decent. The Seafood Rice Set (considered a deluxe menu item) had a bigger and better salmon compared to the thin salmon slices in the Salmon & Shrimps Teppanyaki Rice Set. The shrimps and scallops were pretty good (there were more shrimps than scallops). All dishes came with corn and green onion, and you can choose to add extra add-ons such as cabbage, green pepper, zucchini, mushrooms, garlic bits, extra protein, etc. As garlic lovers, we added extra garlic bits to every teppanyaki set that we ordered. Overall, good food and fast service. I wish the Sizzling Japanese-Style Assorted Vegetables dish wasn't so salty, and came with more / bigger pieces of the actual vegetables rather than just mostly corn. But the other teppanyaki rice sets were good value.

And I think that is mostly due to the location. However, twice now my husband and I have taken the time to come up with an order, after googling the hours to see if they're open. We arrive and they're closed. This has happened twice now. Once in the middle of the week on a Weds. and the other on what should be a busy Saturday evening at supper time. I would imagine that should be one of the busiest days of the week for them. however they choose random days to close their doors and lock up. And Their hours listed on Google do not reflect hours that they're actually open. So Even if you do your homework before making the 20min drive.....they can still end up being closed when you arrive. Extremely Frustrating.

Not in my opinion...especially coming from SE Asian roots and having travelled in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. Majority of the dishes here seemed more of a fusion of different cultures rather than purely Indonesian. The flavours didn't quite hit the mark and spice levels were near non-existent. Seeing the fellow diners...I can see that the flavours must've been westernized. And for this style of more 'comfort/rustic' style dishes, the main dishes were quite expensive at ~$45+ each. Drinks were mild in flavour, but at least not too sweet! This was a fun try, especially if you're not one for spicy food. CASH & DEBIT ONLY. We tried the: -gado gado (Indonesian potato salad) -angus beef tandoori (with taro mash) -duck curry with crispy noodles -mango lassi -thai iced tea (more like condensed milk tea, barely had the Thai tea flavour) -specialty mojito

It's also located in a nice little plaza with other restaurants to choose from like Z!Eats, Booster Juice, and Thai Express. I would say it's in a really good location where you could stroll around. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience here. I would say though that it is quite a bit expensive. My order of the tandoori chicken dumplings and steamed chicken dumplings, which came with 6 pieces each, total was $25.28.

The dumplings came with a salad that was basically just cabbage, so crunchy, no taste, no dressing, at all, like squeeze some juice/dressing of any kind, so no attention to detail here, at all, the chili chicken was great though, just wish I didn't three orders for a satisfying lunch, literally 3 x $5 was necessary for one person, so, good luck,

The sushi was decent here but of course we had better at another restaurant in town. The yakisoba…read morenoodles lacked flavor. The shrimp dumpling, pork dumpling and sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf were really good. They didn't have miso soup but the tom yum soup was weird with a beefy msg soup taste to it. The general tso chicken and sweet & sour chicken lacked sauce and flavor. Also, there was too much batter. The braised beef was good flavor and would good with rice noodles. The fried coconut shrimp and sweet potato fries were delicious. The vegetable dishes were pretty bad because some may not like that they were quite crunchy and the carrots had a bad taste. The server told us it was Japanese cheesecake but it wasn't. It was still pretty good though. Said they had cappuccino and when asked we were told it was espresso. The seaweed salad was strange. didn't have the flavor like most and was padded with the additional pieces of lettuce.wth.. The food was a hit and miss. Some were good and some not so good. Not the best food in my humble opinion. Sashimi sushi is very limited in choices and were sold by the piece not included in the AYCE. The ordering system was by talking to the server and a menu they had provided and was held in a menu cover that originally was for the Pickle Barrel restaurant. Wtf, how ridiculous is that. The server was decent but sure seemed like she could improve a little in some aspects of the entire interaction times with her. Beautifully decorated place but it felt very dark and the overhead lights were off for 90% of th time we were there. They finally turned them on though The music was a bit loud and made it hard to have a conversation with others. The tables are for 2 and placed together to make it table for 4. The dishes were kinda big so took up a lot of space. In conclusion, it was an okay place and food experience . The food felt like it was prepared by not fully trained chefs but the walls were very pretty images but music was loud. i would go back if invited but only have some of their food dishes that were good.

The ribs were fantastic as well, we thought the rice was our favourite and the Mac and cheese was great too! Fries were tasty and crispy, honestly everything was fantastic.
