Finally went to Ebisu yesterday. Managed to get there before the hockey rush, was lucky since I didn't even know a game was gonna be on. Anyways to the food.
First up was the Mentaiko Yakiudon, a good start. The fish roe was a nice touch, by clinging to the noodles it held the flavour nicely. Next was the Chiwaku Cheese, good flavour combination and perfectly fried. The Prawn Gyoza was next and was only the real disappointment of the evening.I thought it'd be neat to have a gyoza with the tail hanging out, other than the presentation the flavour was a bit lacking too. There was a lot of gyoza wrapper and not much else to go with it other than the ginger slivers inside. Maybe adding something like some ground meat, a shrimp/seafood paste, some more vegetables or a filler like noodles or crushed tofu would've been nice. The Thunder Fries and the Ebisu Swirl put the meal back on track.
The fried items were very good, served nice and hot and cooked just right. The highlight of the evening came with dessert. The Cheesecake Creme Brulee really wowed us. Nice flavour and a the perfectly caramelized top was great. My friend kept saying over and over again that she was glad we came.
We didn't get to order much since we had been eating before and decided to drop by to try a few items, but we'll definitely be back. The only thing that really bothered us was the service. If we hadn't waved a waitress down, I don't know how long we would've had to wait for our order to be taken. But as long as the food's good I'll always go back.
