Kaori Japanese Restaurant

Yesterday Rin and I went to a Japanese Restaurant called Kaori and…..
it was ok. Meals were decent, Sushi was excellent, and variety was awesome.
It was a Japanese Restaurant so you’d expect Japanese food priced as they would be.
Not cheap. Unless you go All You Can Eat, then it’d definately be worth the price.
Ordered myself “Teppanyaki” Dinner set
My order was basically seafood on a hot plate.
Crab claws/legs, Mussels, umm………Squid, Clams, and………o.O something else……
and the usual onions, carrots, and green pepper for colour and taste.
Miso soup was good, like always.
Then sometime later before the meals came in, they served us complimentary sides.
Of korean kimchi. Not the spicy cabbage, but the oily noodles, garlic fried greens, and something we weren’t sure what the hell it was.
You must be asking why they served Korean sides in a Japanese restaurant.
That is because it was a Korean Restaurant serving Japanese food.
The staff were korean, and…………thas basically it.
The atmosphere was Japanese, the menu was Japanese.
Hell, it was a Japanese restaurant.
Then i found a small part of the menu where the Korean food was listed.
Yep, gotta have Korean dishes at least if your staff is all Korean.
Nevertheless, we still ordered Japaneses food.
Rin ordered Torikatsu, which is basically fried breaded chicken breast.
Whereas Tonkatsu would be friend breaded porkcutlet
Ordered Maguro(tuna) sushi for a hefty $4 for 2 peices of sushi, or 3 pieces of Sashimi
Tamago(egg) Maki(roll), Sake(salmon) Maki, and Sake Sashimi.
The salmon in the roll was a big piece, and the salmon sashimi was a big chunk of sliced salmon.
You could say it was well worth the price paid, but if you go AYCE then ordering a lot would be more worth it.
Eating commenced
After eating, we called for the bill.
They took our plates, and served us dessert.
Then I received a tweet from Twitter from a friend saying
“it’s snowing so peacefully outside it’s so beautiful”
I thought, “huh. im currently in her part of town”.
i looked outside the window and it was snowing.
Just as my friend tweeted xD
After paying the bill

Opened the door and walked outside into the cold, freezing, awesome weather.
And snow. only a bit though.

And took a pic of the restaurant, because i forgot to take one upon entering.
the 30 is the adderss, not part of the name. Lol.
Had a full meal, feeling cold and needed something to warm up.
We headed off to the nearest Tim’s house for some coffee.
Now I dont usually do reviews of restaurants and their menu,
but this was an exception.
You know why?
It’s not because of the food, service,
nor the special Japanese/Korean menu,
but because of the washroom.
Yes, their customer facilities.
Check it out.

A self serve mouthwash “station”
AWESOME!!!!
*swish swoosh swish swoosh*
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOL!!!!!!
Minty fresh breath after eating fish.
