This is my first HRW this year.
The menu list this year nothing really excited me, but a good excuse to meet up with friends.
I like how they have duckies everywhere...
They have a few mocktails to choose from, I got the Herbed Lavender Lemonade. I asked that they don't make it too sweet, but it became too tart.
For starter, we got the karaage - fried chicken (for kids - that's chicken nugs for you). The sauce is aioli japaleno, which is super delicious but also spicy... eep!
I got the Maguro Crudo - which is bluefin tuna, ponzu sauce, and chili garlic chips - very delicious match with a little piece of apple to balance out.
We split the maki's for 2nd course - I got the Sake Make - which has King Salmon on top with yuzu chili pepper sauce. The other one in the back is the Hamachi Maki - which is yellowtail with cilantro on top.
3rd course, I asked for Nigri 3pc - it has Hamachi (Yellowtail) , Kanapachi (Amberjack fish), and Hirami (Flounder).
Of course, I'm greedy, so I got an extra piece of Waygu - it's ok. I did ask for foie gras but they ran out. The Waygu was a bit too chewy for the cut. That can be done better.
Come dessert time!!! It's like a little piece of of cloud on top of my dessert.
Closer look, it's Milk Tea Boba Tiramisu. Not going to lie, while I did love the boba, which tasted fresh (aka not chewy), it is not as good as Brian's; there! I said it.
It's not bad, the tiramisu didn't have too much of either the coffee or tea flavor. The flavor really was vanilla, which is the base. It is not dry but the flavor really came from the boba.
Lastly, just want to show ya'll - when they tell you do take care of business in the woods... they made it happened. LOL. Half kidding, the bathroom is really at the end of the hallway.
The restaurant is actually not very big, so if you plan on coming, do plan on making a reservation. Of course, the bar area does have full service, that's first come first serve with no reservation. For parking, they do have a lot next to the entrance, they do have a valet if you wish, but plenty of spots you can park yourself.
