We were quite hungry tonight and ordered quite a lot of food. This time we ordered a Tempura Soba, Yaki Onigiri, Salmon Roll and Alaskan Roll.
Both Tempura Soba and Yaki Onigiri came rather fast. Tempura Soba came with 2 shrimp tempuras and onion tempura. The shrimp tempura is.a good size shrimp, but the onion tempura is average. The soup base of the tempura soba is quite good. It is a clear fish based soup base. The noodle itself is Soba instead of Ramen since the item is called Tempura Soba. It felt a bit weird to have Soba in the soup for me. I would rather to eat Soba with dipping soy sauce.
Yaki Onigiri is my favorite part of the dinner. The grilled rice texture is really tasty and smells so good! I like the taste of hard and crunchy rice ball. After taking a bite at it, there is actually salmon inside Onigiri. That was a nice surprise to us. The dish also came with 2 pieces of reddish, which we really like as well.
Salmon Roll and Alaskan Roll had finally arrived 10 minutes later. We were not tool thrilled when we saw the sushi rolls. Each sushi roll came with 8 pieces, which is fine. However; each piece is cut into different size! Some pieces are small and some are quite large! Besides the size inconsistency, the sushi roll still taste pretty good. We really like Alaskan Roll with Tobiko on top of it. It provides crunchy texture. On the other hand, Salmon Roll is just amazing as we always loved to have salmon in my sushi. We have always preferred to have salmon sushi over tuna.
Overall, the food is great at Syun Izakaya and the price is reasonable. The only downside is the service. The service is a little slow at times even though there are already 4-5 servers in the restaurant.
