Hello, friends especially foodies!

Last afternoon mom and i thought about having our early dinner in one of the most popular japanese restaurant which was located on 3A floor West Mall Grand Indonesia Shopping Center. It was cause mom had been craving for yaki soba recently. When we came how surprised we were cause there were many customers waiting to be seated although we came there at around 5pm.

The Outlook

Here how the restaurant looked like from the outside.

You could see that the restaurant was full and there were customers waiting. And we got the number 8, means 7 tables to get their seats before us :'.

The Waiting Area

After around 20 minutes, finally we could sit on their waiting area.

I took a photo of us there too. The interior was nice, even great. You could see it yourself.

Then we were waiting at around 20 minutes to be seated. A long time to wait, imagine 40 minutes to go to their dining area.

The Dining Area

They had a quite large dining area, which now only could serve 50 percents of its' maximum capacity (52 customers). The interior was great, the chairs were all soft. The dining area was clean, neat and comfortable. We took a selfie here too :). Look above, familiar with this decoration, this restaurant must be a group of another restaurant which is a pancakes specialist.

The Menu

We needed to scan the barcode in order to see their menu. Here some of their menu

Like the restaurant name the speciality here was sushi but they also sold other menu such as sashimi, ramen, soba, don and so on. But unfortunately none of us would like to have sushi on dinner time last night.

The Dinner

After had ordered, we needed to wait for another 30 minutes to get our food delivered to our table, first the gyoza and also mine, Special Chicken Teriyaki Don came first, then mom's, Yaki Soba also came around 5 minutes later. Here it was

The Taste

Gyoza - Japanese Dumpling
It had the light savory flavour with the chicken, shrimp and veggie as the filling. It had light savory flavour. It served with the savory japanese soy sauce. The skin of this gyoza was soft and thin. It was delicious.

Special Chicken Teriyaki Don
It was chicken teriyaki, japanese raw egg, beef floss with rice. Weird thing was they put slices of fried garlic on the top of the chicken. The chicken teriyaki had savory flavour with the sliced fried garlic, japanese teriyaki sauce and also sesame seeds on its' top. It had soft texture. It was not the best i ever had but it also wasn't bad at all. I always love japanese egg. And the beef floss tasted good, sweet like it usually and it was fresh. Actually it was also a weird thing, put beef floss on a don (?). But mine was not bad. I also put some chilli powder do add a bit spicy flavour.

Yaki Soba - Japanese Fried Noodle
It was Japanese fried noodle with baked or smoked salmon, shrimp, paprika and carrot for the topping. It only had savory flavour. Unfortunately mom likes neither salmon nor shrimp so i ate the topping. It had only light savory flavour, almost no flavour so i added japanese soy sauce on it. The salmon was fresh and also the shrimp. It was the weird yaki soba we ever had, the topping and also its' flavour.

The Price

After had finished the dinner, we asked for the bill. The waiter came with the debit machine.

It was 189,200 IDR or around 13.25 USD.

My conclusion

They weren't an expert in cooking other Japanese food, than sushi, i guessed, that made all the menu we had not special at all. And about the waiting time for 20+20+30 minutes and the total it was 70 minutes, the food was not as what we expected, really below our expectation. No wonder cause they needed a long time to prepare the food we ordered.

So if you wanna come here and try the menu, i recommend you to try their speciality.
