I think I REALLY underestimated the size of the food here, but now I think I REALLY like this place.
When I was first looking at the menu, everything looked pretty good, but I was starving at the time, so I felt like devouring a huge burger. I originally was going to get the Tokyo Tower because it seemed like it would satisfy my appetite, but instead I just got the Tokyo Classic. Let me tell you, I am so glad I got the classic because, man... these burgers are absolutely massive! I really underestimated the size, and I couldn't even imagine myself finishing a Tokyo Tower. The Tokyo Tower was like double the size of the classic and seemed like something you would have on Man vs Food! Anyways, the burger was just so delicious. I got the beef katsu patty, and instead of raw onions I got grilled onions. Literally every ingredient complimented each other and worked perfectly together, I'm not kidding, and you have so many different textures and sensations. You have the freshness and slight crunch from the cabbage and tomatoes, creaminess from the light mayo, sweetness from the luscious tonkatsu sauce, a nice memory of a hot summer day from the perfectly grilled onions, and the crunchy and crisp, but also tender and juicy patty. All of this inside those nice, tan, soft, buns! Just amazing.
On the other hand, the fries were also spectacular! We got the curry fries, and of course we had to get the award winning nori fries. Opening the bag and getting a wiff of the fries was heavenly. I guess I'll stary with the curry fries, as they were my least favorite out of the two, but they still were some of the best. fries I have had. So the curry fries were cooked to golden brown perfection with an amazing crunch to them, and they were also coated generously with curry powder. Not only did they taste amazing but they smelled amazing too. The one thing that I did have against these fries was that it made my fingers smell like curry powder for a whole day. Not that that is a very bad thing, but I just couldn't stop eating them. Next up, the award winning nori fries which were my favorite of the day. One of my favorite flavors or tastes is umami. It is just so rich and luxurious and is kind of a "fancy" flavor, or elegant flavor, and these nori fries had the perfect hint of umami. It was like a kiss of umami, and on top of that was the perfect crispness of the fries, and the fluffy, soft warm interior. Such a well executed fry.
Finally, the last thing I tried were the banzai bites. I mean there isn't much too them except they were also bomb! Super crispy, and flavorful, but slightly tough if I'm being honest, and we got the chicken. Overall, everything is very good, and this might be a go-to place for me now, and in the future I want to try and tackle the beast, the Tokyo Tower or the Mt. Fuji!
