I'm usually skeptical about dishes with mentaiko as they're usually severly lacking in flavour/the actual cod roe but this was unexpectedly delicious! This unassuming mentaiko pasta with shrimp and broccoli ($6.90) was relatively rich in flavour with a light-tasting and not overly creamy sauce (think: mentaiko baguettes from Japanese bakeries) and I thoroughly enjoyed every bit! More broccoli and shrimp would've been nice but for the amount of pasta and lovely sauce - I'm not complaining. 😋
