-The Review-

The 日 in the name means “Japanese”

This is an indication of the flavours available. They do have some unique salad toppings to choose from, such as the baby octopus. They also nailed the Citrus Ponzu sauce, in fact I do believe that it is the best Ponzu of the salad bars I’ve been to.

It would have been even better if they stuck to the theme by offering Japanese Sweet Potatoes instead of the orange ones. Nonetheless, the sweet potato was cooked well.

Choose at least 3 veges as your “base”

Interestingly, they do not have a “base” for you to choose from. Instead, you create your own base by selecting 3, 4, or 5 vegetables depending on the size of the bowl. I thought the Pumpkin was pretty pleasant, and I like that they served it in wedges.

Lack of non-oily protein option

The Teriyaki Chicken Thigh appeared to be the least oily and hence I selected it. However, I still felt that it was rather greasy and would have preferred if they offered a non-oily protein option. If they are looking to stick to the Japanese theme, they could offer shabu chicken breast slices or even raw salmon/tuna.

Small Serving, but worth it’s price

The bowl added to about 350g, and for 144g of Chicken, $7.90 is quite a steal! Here is a breakdown of the bowl.

• 144g Teriyaki Chicken Thigh
• 48g Sweet Potato
• 24g Romaine Lettuce
• 78g Pumpkin
• 20g Edamame
• 10g Radish Pickles
• 25g Citrus Ponzu
