japanese 🍥

- pork and chicken 100g (not sure price)
- beef karubi 100g ($10.90)
i added on one more plate of 100g beef karubi and it was $6
overall nice place at dine at! was a little disappointed with the seating as my friend and i sat opposite each other, next to other couples/friends and it was kind of awkward and made it hard to hear each other. but after a while i got used to it la
really liked the texture of the beef slices, it was thinner (which is what i like) and paired well with the sauces!
there were around 4 sauces available (garlic soy/bbq/spicy miso/sea salt) along with other things like chilli and seasonings.
each set came with a bowl of rice (u get to pick how big) and soup which i absolutely LOVED
one thing was that the grill kept catching on fire which was scary lol (but it’s rather normal for yakiniku i guess)

overall would def come back if i’m craving yakiniku! would like to try other yakiniku places as well

we tried this new (i think) hamburg steak curry udon! it was quite pricey at $15.90 nett but we wanted to give it a go c: not sure how much the tempura was

… as much as i would like to say i haven’t wasted my dollars, i think i have 😭 imo the udon was kinda mid for the price, the curry udon was nice but the hamburg was quite tough and kinda dry for some reason?? which was quite saddening bc we were really looking forward to the hamburg steak

maybe it’s just because i’m not much of a udon person (?) but this was a failed venture! will be going back to mapo tofu don or kitsune udon for future idaten visits

- kitsune udon
- meat free mapo tofu don with seaweed tempura
we got extra servings of tempura bits along with our orders!
mapo tofu don was actually unbelievably good. like i went back to idaten and got it 2 more times good. a tad oily but i think it’s worth the grease
kitsune udon was nice but i’m not really a udon person 🫨
seaweed tempura was SO CRUNCHY but it became quite stale after a while so eat ur tempura early
already went back 😋
