Nori Taco. Spicy Salmon, nori tempura, melted cheese and tobiko. The nori tempura was super crunchy and tasty and it gave a nice texture like crispy masterpiece. The tobiko had a salty and oceany and umami flavor. The melted cheese was good, just a little creamy and not overpowering any other ingredients. The salmon tasted fresh, fatty and raw. The spicy mentaiko was the bomb!! Creamy and salty and spicy and savoury, to sum it up, full of bomb flavor. It's everything I need, can't ask for more. Genius! When I saw they served me 2 pieces of this little thing in a huge plate, I thought "really? 50K for this?" 10 sec later, my mind went to "It's worth it!" It's dope!

Ube Bomb. I've been curious for this place for a very long time. Finally yesterday I had the chance to try it. Checked this place with pergikuliner and the most interesting dish that caught my attention was this ube bomb.

Taro pudding, cereals, fresh strawberry, mint leaf and condensed milk (the white liquid, not so sure about it but it tasted like one). Beautiful plating and I could hear the sounds of cracking popping candy which was interesting. The texture of the pudding was custardy, liked the texture so much. The taste? Not too sweet and yeah, I definitely tasted taro on that pudding. The cereal was giving a nice solid texture to bite. I couldn't taste the popping candy and I felt no popping sensation or whatsoever in my mouth. However, the condensed milk ruined everything. It made the pudding tasted so damn sweet. Couldn't finish the the pudding thanks to it.

Let's forget about the ube bomb, the place is super good. It's not too big but super cozy, friendly services and the ambiance is exquisite.

Salmon Creamed Spinach. Pan fried salmon, lemon reduction and creamed spinach. I like the restaurant, but not this menu. The plating was kind of boring. The salmon was fishy and flaky. The inside was no longer in pink. The baby potato was hard and not tasty at all. The vinaigrette sauce was so so. It's somehow not really compliment the salmon. And the creamed spinach was super creamy but I didn't really taste the spinach. It's overpowering the natural earthiness of the spinach. So yeah, I recommend this place but this menu is just meh.

Nori Taco. Have you seen this post in my feed? No, you haven't. Yes, I have posted the nori taco review before but the topping was spicy salmon. Now I'll tell you about the spicy tuna one. The nori tempura was dope as always. Crispy to perfection with salty and savoury flavor from the seaweed. The melted cheese was salty and creamy. The mentaiko was superb. Salty, spicy (spicier than the first time I came, but I still like it), creamy, super rich. Now the tuna, I'd never thought I'm gonna say this but I'd rather eat the tuna than the salmon. The tuna wasn't fishy at all, it's thick, it had such almost meaty texture to bite. The salmon one was more on the smooth side, but the tuna was totally a bad ass. You gotta try this. Eric approved!

Truffle Steak Don. Thick slice US beef, kokuho japanese rice, 63 degree egg and katsuobushi beef sauce. The steak was super tender and so gewd. I could taste the natural sweetness from the meat itself. The egg was runny and cooked into perfection. It gave extra creaminess and sticky texture, loved it! And the moment the don arrived, I could smell strong truffle aroma. If you like truffle then you'll love it. My only concern was the kokuho japanese rice, it's a super super normal white rice. No need to mention it, it made my expectation go high and all I tasted was normal white rice. Overall, still a super solid steak don.

Teppan Saikoro Steak. 200gr cube cut steak over beansprout & chopped garlic and served with japanese rice. The steak was good. Tender and so flavorful. Savoury and the natural sweetness from the meat itself and so earthy thanks to the beansprout. Taste wise it's good, however it didn't meet my expectation at all. First, the size of the saikoro beef. It's just too small and trust me, it's the saikoro steak not some fermented soybean. When I read the 200gr of steak in the description, I expect it to be huge square chunk of steak not this thin cut steak. Second, the japanese rice. It tasted like normal white rice. No japanese taste or whatsoever. Third, the chopped garlic. I thought they gonna give me a small diced fried crispy garlic. Not big size sliced garlic. Still, I did enjoy my bowl.

It's one of their signature mains.The meat was very lean and tender. It's definitely not a fatty kind of duck. There was a bit smokey taste to it.The skin wasn't crisp at all, but the tenderness from that meat compesate it. Usually you'll get hoisin sauce when you order duck dish like this, but here they give you 2 kinds of homemade sauce. Hoisin and plum sauce. I personally prefer hoisin sauce. Salty and 100% compliment the duck. It's not like the plum sauce was bad. It's a bit sweet and plumy. I think I've eaten too much MSG, so the plum sauce tasted a bit plain for my tastebud.
