Had lunch at Men-Ichi as we had a full promo card from Ichiban group of companies. We had gyoza, kanitama (omelette with mushroom), char siew don, and miso ramen. Every was ok except the char siew don. If this was not a promo item, then I would have asked them to send it back to the kitchen and just change it to something different. It was just pathetic. You can easily get better char siew topping in a food court compared to this. The pork was dry and flaky. Everything else though was ok. The mi

Everything else though was ok. The miso ramen is hard to fault though I'd imagine some people wanting it to be a tad bit less salty. Nevertheless, the pork, egg, and broth made this dish satisfying. Its not a head blown away type of ramen but its good enough. The gyoza was like any other gyoza you'd have in a so so japanese restaurant. In fairness, I've really had bad gyoza and at least Men-Ichi isn't included in the list of horrible gyoza (How can you ruin gyoza????)
The kanitama was a bit of a surprise. Its basically egg omelette with light teriyaki sauce on top. This is a sample of simple dishes making a big impression. I'll be ordering this for sure the next time I'm in this restaurant.
