Shiso Tree Cafe
Monday, May 23, 2016
A couple of days ago I met up with friends for a get-together. We do this at least once a month to catch up with life and relieve our stress from our busy lives. We decided to go have dinner first before going for board games session. We went to Shiso Tree Cafe for dinner. It's a Japanese restaurant that serves Japanese style pasta (Wafu 和風) and many other type of pastas, food, and beverages. It's a fusion of Italian and Japanese style food. The restaurant atmosphere was quite nice and quiet. The servers were nice. The food in general was appetizing and delicious. Each pasta dish is served with salad and garlic bread. There was also a pasta set which included soup and a cake.
Unagi-Don - cream teriyaki and shimeji mushrooms with Japanese barbecued eel. Garnished with nori and shiso -$17 |
Shrimp Okonomiyaki - Spaghetti sauteed with bacon, onions and garlic, dressed with shrimp, homemade steak sauce, Japanese mayo and bonito fish flakes - $14 |
Napolitan - Japanese tomato sauce with sausage, bacon, onions, nori and shiso -$10 |
Shiso Clam Vongole - White wine, olive oil, garlic, bacon, fresh Manila clams and shiso -$15 |
Japanese Poutine Fries - poutine garnished with nori and shiso. |
Overall I would go back to this place for many reasons. Firstly, it's located at J-town. Secondly, you can go dine at this cafe after shopping around the area in J-town, which is a fairly small plaza. Finally, the food was delicious.
