I was excited to see a new restaurant that had Japanese food across the aisle from Costco yesterday. I noticed they were promoting dishes with teriyaki, but I don't eat that much sugar so I asked if they had something else and then looked through the menu and did not know that the shrimp I chose was going to have teriyaki sauce. I also asked for no rice, because I eat mostly low-carb. I was given a very generous portion of vegetable mix as the bed for the seafood the mix contained mostly cabbage plus broccoli, and maybe some other things in it as I watched, they squirted oil on it a few times, and I don't like to eat seed oils, such as canola sunflower, Soy or Other vegetable oils, because they are inflammatory. I prefer avocado, olive or coconut oil. I ended up taking it home instead of eating there, and washing in a colander, and then reheating it in my own wok and I added my own generic Asian sauce to give it some flavor. It was fresh and good, but I don't think it was worth the effort of trying to avoid their seed oils by washing and reheating it myself. Next time I may try something different. If I can't avoid the oil, I will just skip this restaurant. I was really hoping for more authentic Japanese food, but this was the kind of food you could get almost anywhere. I wrote this review for the new Japanese restaurant Sarku, but it's more difficult to use Yelp on the phone so it ended up somehow in the generic Wheaton mall topic. I will try to move it later.
