I've become one of the Groupon addicts as of late, and on a whim picked this for the mass of high ratings its received.
Not sure of what to expect, I moseyed there with my boyfriend for the lunch deal we scooped up and investigated this trendy little nook. Upon entering,we realized that we were the only ones in the place. Not sure if they were closed, we were instantly happily ushered to a table by a manager and greeted by a very friendly server.
He gave us a full run down of the both the regular and lunch menu, which helped immensely since they've got a lot of interesting items on both. We decided on a teriyaki chicken bento box lunch and the Japoix burger. We got our miso soup, pretty standard tasty soup. And awaited our meal.
Goodness gracious. I eat burgers fairly often, because, lets get real, they're delicious and extremely versatile, but this....this was outstanding. Cooked to exactly Medium temperature, juicy and piled with toppings. The flavor of the meat along was unreal, and with the strips of steak, bacon, egg and sauce was all-together mind-blowing. The teriyaki chicken surpassed my expectations, and had a nice array of sides and snacks along with it.
While they were both fantastic meals, the burger was honestly one of the absolute best I've ever had. I've been mentioning it to a few other food adventurers and haven't heard a complaint about the place yet. And since it is a fairly pricey place, especially for a dinner by the looks of it, I'll be sticking to lunches and keeping my eye out for Groupons and snatching them up like crazy.
The service was exactly on point, friendly and personable, pairing nicely with the great meal. I was definitely happy and will be a happily returning customer.
