The waitress was very helpful and pointed out some of the more popular options on the menu. I was a tad disappointed that there was no oyakodon (chicken + egg donburi) and ordered the chicken teriyaki and the dynamite roll instead. She immediately clocked me as being from out of town 😅
There was miso soup included that was served first. It was very enjoyable and a nice opener for the meal.
The dynamite roll was huge (12 large pieces that *almost* didn't fit in my mouth) and a little different than what I'm used to back home. Instead of the usual fish roe on top, there were breadcrumbs. My only critique for this dish is that I wish there was more sauce served alongside the sushi or a bottle at the table that you could pour yourself, as I ran out of soy sauce with 4 pieces of sushi left to go and it got all gummed up by the breadcrumbs.
The chicken teriyaki came out sizzling like fajitas at a mexican restaurant. The chicken was delicious and it was served on a bed of saucy cabbage, noodles, and other veg. There was kimchi and rice on the side. Similar to the sushi, I wish there was more kimchi as I ran out before I finished the chicken (I enjoy having a piece of kimchi with each mouthful). The kimchi was very mild, but delicious.
I would encourage the owners to update the exterior signage, as it only mentions "Japanese Dining". The menu seems more geared towards Korean dining and while the food was well-executed, it was not quite what I was expecting (such as kimchi being served with teriyaki).
All in all, the service was great and the food was a lot better than I was expecting for an Asian fusion restaurant in the middle of the prairies. I would highly recommend it.
