Through the front door, up the stairs (on the left), around the corner (to the right), down another flight of stairs, and to the left of the massive Buddha (and I think he was made of ice) — that’s where I found myself sitting in Megu contemplating which dish I wanted to devour. I’m not a big fan of Asian cuisine, but once I ventured to Megu I realized that there’s different ways for restaurants to cook and present this type of food. After reading and re-reading the menu multiple times, my order was finally placed in the kitchen: Tuna & avocado MEGU Style, MEGU Original Crispy Asparagus, the Grilled Lamb Chops, and a side of Parmesan French Fries. I enjoyed every bite of food. I was stuffed by the end of the meal, but I wanted to order another serving of the Tuna & avocado (I am currently on a bit of a tuna-kick and find the fish fresh tasting and insanely delectable). Wasabi was an ingredient mixed up with the tuna and avocado — the spicy factor made me a bit apprehensive to order it but it turned out to be mild and the flavor of the wasabi was delicious. The marinade on the Grilled Lamb Chops was divine — “gempei miso” is what it is on the menu. The glaze of marinade was sweet but with a zing I have never experienced. And the Parmesan French Fries had white truffle oil on it (if the words “white” and “truffle oil” appear side-by-side any where on a menu, I HAVE to order it! White truffle oil has never tasted bad in my mind.) The lighting of the restaurant, volume of the music, and the waiters/staff were perfection. Next time I return, I’d like to start off enjoying a drink at the bar upstairs before being seated in the main dining room for the meal.
