I am not sure what kind of restaurant this is. they have sushi/rolls, they had some Thai food, some Indian curry, Singaporean food, and Chinese food. it was just a mix of what seemed to be anything Asian.
We are traveling and stuck with something safe (bowl of Udon noodles, chicken teriyaki, and sushi rolls)
The Udon noodles wasn’t bad and normally my son would devour a bowl. he didn’t really want to finish it. it was probably the best part of our meal.
Normally i would love the chicken teriyaki but they make it with sliced boiled white meat and it was very dry. Traditionally teriyaki chicken with is served on a bowl of rice but this was served like a Chinese dish with boiled broccoli 🥦 around the dish. it didnt really have the Japanese style of grilled chicken served on top of rice. it didn’t even taste like tradition teriyaki chicken. it was more like Chinese style steamed chicken.
The sushi rolls were probably the closest representation of Japanese style food. it tasted like a sushi roll should taste but it was swimming in teriyaki sauce; and I do mean swimming. it should be a hint of teriyaki sauce squirted on with a squeeze bottle not poured on with spoonfuls of sauce. it was drowning in the sauce sauce; to the point where we were wiping the sauce off on the plate it was served on.
it was disappointing because i really had my heart set on a nice Japanese meal. Japanese style food should be delicate; less is more (especially when applying sauce)
Kogetsu boiler house needs to focus on one style of Asian food and not cater to “all asian” foods because it falls short to any authentic asian style food. if you want to focus in Japanese food then make it look and taste like Japanese food (don’t confuse it by serving it with Chinese boiled broccoli around it). if you want to make Chinese food then make Chinese food.
At the end of the day, we felt like we were eating for sustenance and not really eating for the dining experience.
Would i go back again? No. Once was enough. I live in Asia and get great Asian food all the time. this was well…an interesting experience. I have never really been to a one-stop asian restaurant inter-mixing the the cuisines of Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Indian, Singaporean and whatever else; it was a disaster as all those styles are so different.
