Great place for a casual meal with oysters! Celebrated my dad's birthday just the other day, and since he likes oysters the first place that came to mind for a meal was of course, The Oyster Bank!
Started off with the Baked Lemon Garlic Butter Scallops ($15.90 for 3 pcs) which were fresh, large, and drenched in a delicious lemon butter sauce. Ordered two cocktails (which were frankly pretty overpriced) just so we could enjoy the $2 oysters promo - you can get up to 6 oysters at $2 for every alcoholic drink purchased, and this stacks with the happy hour! Oysters were clean and briney, but the sizes were inconsistent with some large and some distinctively smaller.
On to the mains, we got the Wagyu Beef Karubi Don ($24.90) and the Bara Chirashi Don ($17.90). Beef don was actually really delicious, with the flavours of the wagyu beef strips, shoyu shiitake, fried garlic, and onsen egg melding together perfectly to create a flavourful mess. On the other hand, the chiraishi don was pretty boring with just cubes of salmon, tuna, shrimp, and egg. However, come for the daily lunch special which gives complimentary miso soup and a glass of iced/hot houjicha or americano.
The staff also surprised us at the end of our meal with a birthday celebratory sake shots - very cute and much appreciated! Thumbs up for the lovely service.
