Tsurutontan (Japan)

Leave a comment

4.9 out of 5 Stars (Almost Perfect)

The hot version of the Mendaiko Caviar Udon tastes so much better than the cold. The hot gives it more taste because the noodles absorb the sauce better than the cold. Sadly, they only have this in Japan. I wish they would have it in New York, too.

This beef udon is also only available in Japan. There are a lot of beef in the udon unlike most restaurants in New York, where they only give you a few pieces of beef and the rest of the bowl is noodles.

 

If you’re ever in Japan and you are in search of udons, I recommend trying out Tsurutontan. You will NOT be disappointed!

LIKE CAFE: 4 out of 5 Stars

The Hong Kong Style milk tea has the good combination of milk and tea. It’s just a few points away from perfect.

This Fishball Steam Roll is heaven. The sauces are an excellent mix. It reminds me so much of Hong Kong. This is my favourite dish from this place.

The Satay Beef Instant Noodles can be better. It’s not bad, but it’s not the best either. It would be better if they could put a bit more sauce to the beef, perhaps making it a bit stronger than it is now.

 

Tsurutontan: 4.5 Stars out of 5

The Mendaiko Caviar Noodles is my favourite dish from Tsurutontan. I love how everything sort of melts in your mouth when you bite into it. I’d definitely recommend this dish to anyone who comes to this restaurant! You will NOT be disappointed!

Good Fortune Restaurant

Leave a comment

Honestly, I’m not sure how to rate this restaurant. I came here for dinner with my parents for their birthdays. The food here wasn’t exactly all that appealing. It looks good, I’ll give them that, but other than that I don’t think I really have anything good to say. Their dimsum is good, but dinner food is really just a “meh” (if that even makes sense). I’m not saying that it tastes  bad, but it just doesn’t live up to my expectations.

The service, though, was horrible. It took a long time for them to come and take our order. When we finished eating, we wanted to stay a bit longer to just chat, but they came right away to take our plates away. It was as if they were rushing us out for no reason. It’s not like the restaurant was packed. It was quite empty even after we finished our food. One of the waitresses, she took a plate off the table and spilled some sauce onto my dad. She didn’t even notice until my dad pointed it out, then she said sorry. She told another waiter to go and get some wet napkins, which by the way never made its way to us.

Good Fortune, overall, is a decent dimsum place to go to, but dinner I wouldn’t recommend it.

The Seafire Grill

SFG Surf & Turf

The Surf & Turf consists of a 12oz. filet mignon, 2oz. lobster, 2oz. shrimp, 1oz. king crab, and some red wine reduction. The steak was a bit too fat, but other than that no complaints all. This combination is like heaven when it reaches your mouth. The sauce is an amazing mix to your food.

Squid Ink Spaghetti

This wasn’t my favourite dish. Though, I like it for its lobsters because the lobsters are really fresh, the spaghetti was a bit bland. There wasn’t enough sauce or flavour to the spaghetti.

Creme Brûlée

Dessert! My favourite part of the meal. This creme brûlée is an amazing add to the meal. Best of all, it’s FREE! It’s free for the table if you check in on yelp, but they only limit you to one per table. It’s still worth to try it! Who doesn’t love free stuff, right?

Overall Experience: 4.5 out of 5 Stars! The servers are polite and patient. The servers never raised a voice at you or show any signs of impatience when you couldn’t make a decision on what to get. They were willing to answer all your questions about the food and they all seem to know what they’re talking about. Food is beyond words. I’d definitely come back here again someday.

3 out of 5 stars

The Kimchi Fried Rice was good. The rice is soft and the spiciness is just perfect in your mouth. The bogolgi glass noodles makes a good appetizer. It’s on the main course section but it’s really small. It’s more of an appetizer. The broth is sweet and the noodles soaks in that broth making it more tasty. The cheese doodles and cheese fries make an interesting combo. Personally I like the fries more than the doodles.

Vancouver, Canada Run:

I’d give this five stars, but that will probably overdo it. I mean nothing is perfect, right? This Fishball Steam Roll has the perfect mix of oyster sauce, peanut butter, and soy sauce. In addition to fish balls and steam rolls, you also get siu mai, which you normally don’t get when you order this else where. The fishball is the perfect bite size. Eating this, reminds me so much of Hong Kong, though it’s not quite at that same level yet. This however is the best steam roll I’ve had in Vancouver, Canada. I couldn’t describe it any better. You’ll have to try it for yourself to know how good it is.

Shanghai Asian Cuisine

Leave a comment

4 out of 5 Stars

Shanghai Asian Cuisine is one of the better shanghai places to eat in Chinatown. Their soup dumplings have a very savory taste in its soup. One of my favourite dishes there is the spicy wonton. Its made with a special spicy sauce. My most favourite dish is the Kau Fu, which is basically tofu made with soy sauce. With each bite of the kau fu, it leaves you wanting more bites. It gets addicting.

This place is always packed with people because it’s so small, but its food is delicious, so the wait is worth it. The wait, however, isn’t really that long. The longest I’ve waited was maybe 30 minutes.

King Spa

Looking for a relaxing and fun day out with a girlfriend? King Spa is a great place to go to. It has many different saunas you can go into and sweat and relax at no extra costs. You can also do a body scrub to exfoliate dead skin on your body for an extra price. There’s also a cafeteria and a snack bar where you can sit down and eat or have a drink throughout the day. It’s a great hangout date with your girlfriend.

Yi Fang

4.5 out of 5 Stars

Yi Fang is most famous for their Brown Sugar Pearl Milk. They only come out with this drink 3 times a day (12PM, 3PM and 6PM) and once it’s sold out you’ll have to wait for the next batch to come out. I’ve waited 30 minutes for this drink. Is it worth it? This time I’ll say DEFINITELY YES！This drink is by far my favourite bubble tea drink of all times. Anyone looking for a good bubble tea place, Yi Fang is the place to go and Brown Sugar Pearl Milk is the drink to drink! I highly recommend this drink and place to a bubble tea fans out there! Remember, they sell out fast, so if you want this drink remember to go line up and wait for it at least 30 minutes ahead of time!
