Review:  I personally like their rice noodle soup and their "over rice" dishes (Marinated Pork Over Rice, Pork Chop Over Rice etc).
They are very well priced and service is pretty quick.

I have seen many couples enjoying meals at this place but I am not sure if it is a good dating spot. Unless you both are familiar with Taiwanese cuisine (some dishes the taste is pretty strong and oily) your date may not enjoy it.

I have ordered take out from here without making any prior phone call since they were pretty good at preparing food in under 10 minutes while I window shop at the near by shops.

Review:  I went for a branch with my wife on last Sunday and ordered French Breakfast Formule. I really liked the scramble egg and the crepe. The portion of the food was OK (as you know some fancy places tend to skimp on food volume).

The interior was nice and clean although the seat was not as comfortable as I would like. Service was OK but would have been nice if they would come around little more often. It was pretty packed so I guess that might have been why.

We saw some ladies with two, three wine bottles and they seem to be regulars. I guess it is a nice place to enjoy the feeling of “being French”, enjoy wine and spend time with friends.

Review:  If you want an authentic Japanese sushi then this is the place to be.

One of my favorite is the Super deluxe Sashimi.
If you think you have tasted raw shrimp then think again. The ones you get in most sushi places are already cooked. This Super deluxe Sashimi comes with a real raw shrimp and a raw shrimp head. Your waiter will pick it up to fry it for you while you enjoy the rest of the dish.

One more thing to point out is the green source (Wasabi) that they serve. Apparently it is straight from the plant!! FRESH!

Review:  This restaurant is definitely a date spot. The interior has a clean feel and when I went, I saw a few couples eating and drinking.

I ordered a pizza with anchovy topping and it was pretty good.

My only complaint was the size of the dish considering the price they were charging. I guess this is because I am a guy because my wife liked the place so much that she went back with her girlfriends several times.

Review:  I have been to this place for Hibachi several times with my friends and I must say I have a mixed feeling about this place.

On one hand it has successfully combined a modern bar / lounge like feel to a Japanese restaurant. On the other hand, it was just too loud to talk and enjoy food.

Don't get me wrong, the food was pretty good, both portion and quality wise. But when it comes to the atmosphere, I am not sure if this is a good place to hang out with your friends to catch up while having food.

Maybe for an after dinner drink and a light snack.
