I've been waiting for this for a loooooong time.
Finally made it here in person. Last time was a quick grab and go back to work.
This time, we properly ordered ahead of time. And seeing how pretty this is, I was just ecstatic. You are truly getting a present here. Just love the meticulous details.
Cue the heavenly music, this is one heck of a beautiful box of Sando. There are 9 kinds of Sandos here, and let me tell you, even with 5 people we could not finish it all. What do we have here: in no particular order, Egg Salad, Salmon, Bulgogi Beef, Katsu (pork cutlet), Fried Chicken, KFC (Korean Fried Chicken), Lobster, Fried Shrimp, and Strawberry.
We have 5 people, of course the 2 Strawberry wasn't going to be enough, so we added mixed fruit Sando. This is Strawberry- Mango mix. Very delicious, they use house made Hokkaido Milk Bread, the whipped cream is also made in-house, definitely less sweet than your normal whipped cream.
As the name said, they also do Omakase, I just ordered this mini Chirashi, it has Bluefin Tuna, Salmon, Mad, Yellowtail, scallop, sweet shrimp, roe and uni - all over a bed of rice. Everything here is supremely fresh, and don't know how they do it, but they did it well.
Also ordered the seared salmon, oh my gosh, it was torched on top and the flavors are all there, truly amazing dish.
Then we impulse-buy a few things when we're in line. Such as this, this is milk toast with Yuzu sauce. We thought it would be like French Toast, but this was more like crunchy toast. But never mind that, the Yuzu Sauce was amazing. Definitely would love to have that on all breakfast from now on.
This is like a mini poke bowl if you would, you have this mix of sashimi, veggie, egg, and roe all over a bed of rice underneath. Perfect for anybody's lunch.
This is fish liver, which no one touched but just as delicious. Frankly don't ask me which kind of fish and what kind of liver. It tasted good and that's all I needed to know, as the same for you. It was soaked in house-made soy sauce too. The soy sauce is not too heavy in texture and not too salty in taste, which brings out their sashimi that much more. Giving an awesome experience.
Why not get a Yuzu Soda to match?! They do have a few kinds of import sodas and tea for drinks .
So here is what we learned. First of all, an H Mart is about to be opened in the same shopping center, which means it will get extra popular and busy as people see this shop. Good for them, but not for me, because it means longer lines and what not. As it is, they are pretty much sold out on the days they are opened with people waiting in lines about 30 mins before open. Now, there's a solve for it, and thanks to my friend who gave me this tip: that is, definitely order online a day or two ahead. You don't skip the line, per se, but at least you can rest assure that you will get what you want. That said, it's' still fun to stand in line and see what offerings they have and gawk at all the sandos and sushi boxes they made. So much fun!
