I headed down to Carlsbad to catch up with a dear friend of mine, and she suggested this place for lunch. Neither of us had been before, and we had an awesome dining experience!
We arrived shortly after they opened (perfect timing), greeted with a friendly smile (plus points), and seated right away (yay!).
The modern interior had a bar on the left side (cool sake bottles displayed up top), and linear table seating to the right. They have a few tables in front of the resto as well, but we opted to sit inside.
Our server was so kind, attentive, and took our order right away. We started with the beautifully presented Takoyaki, as well as, Pork Buns, which were bursting with umami! We both ordered Miso Ramen, which came out shortly after the appies (efficient!).
I always do the customary thing and taste the broth as it is, and WOW, it needed absolutely nothing else! Too good! The pork belly just melted in my mouth, and the egg had the most perfectly seasoned jammy yolk! (my fave). Their noodles had the perfect chew, and the added corn niblets were a treat (other places charge extra for that, like why?!?). Our table was full and so were we, but wait, there's always room for dessert!
I've had mochi ice cream countless times before, but theirs had the cutest presentation ever! The texture of their mochi was perfectly soft and chewy, which came in 4 pieces of mango, strawberry, green tea, and chocolate! Perfect ending to our meal!
Arigato Gozaimasu, Beshock!
CHEERS till next time...
