I was debating whether to write this review. On the surface, the restaurant is a jewel in the city. You get all the usual dishes. They come with ample portions. I was hoping, that when I brought a friend and they ordered the fried rice. they could substitute canned peas and carrots for some other vegetables. They had mushrooms and broccoli dishes, so, I thought, if I pay extra, they could put some of those things on their rice. I wasn't told anything. Just a nod of indifference from the guy at the counter taking my order. It had been the third time I had dropped some good cash for food there. When the food came, there was pretty much tiny slivers of onions and chicken on her rice. It had good flavor but, come on, what about veggies. It was barren. I went up to the chef's area and said, would you eat this? Come on. He said they don't put mushrooms on fried rice. Since when? Would that destroy the earth, disrupt some mass eternal plan? I guess, I am gaijin. Just a peasant, who is ignorant and doesn't know better about their unique cultural cuisine. I felt like I was some kind of Karen, for asking about the lack of vegetables they had available for my friend to enjoy on her rice. It fell to deaf ears. I said have it your way. I wanted to pick my fights but, after much consideration, I decided I would be that insolent foreigner, and say something. An uncouth peasant from the evil west...
