When we arrived, the restaurant was empty except for one table (the place is pretty small, as with most places downtown). As soon as we got in the door, we were greeted by an older Japanese man, very friendly, and told us to sit down, while he brought us the menus. One was laminated (their regular dishes I assume), another was on a regular piece of paper, their specials, and their drink menu. The hubby ordered off of their special menu, the curry tsukemen. And I ordered off their regular menu. I wish I remembered to take a picture of the menu, because now I can't remember then name of the dish I ordered! All I remember is that its the last dish on their regular menu.
The curry sauce for the tsukemen was very good and flavourful. And the noodles, were different than the ramen noodles that I was used to eating. These looked flat, almost like a linguine. The chasiu was a bit dry, but once it was warmed with the curry, it got better. And the best part, there were veggies in the dish! Again, never seen choy sum in Japanese dishes, but I love my veggies, so I won't complain.

My dish, reminded me of Fukien style fried rice, without the fried rice part. There was shrimp, chicken, ham, chasiu, onions, eggplant, peppers and choy sum in sauce of some sort served over plain Japanese rice. Wasn't what I was expecting, but was quite good.

Overall, I liked this place quite a bit. For the price that you pay and the food that you get, I think it's worth checking out for sure. And by the time we left, the restaurant was full.
