Sugoi

While out shopping today, I decided to take a little side trip to Sugoi for lunch.

Located in a small strip mall which was once the old Kapalama Gems parking lot, Sugoi has made quite a name for itself in the few years that they've been open. Specializing in bentos and plate lunches, Sugoi has something for everyone, although speaking from experience, one of their most popular dishes has got to be the karai (spicy) garlic chicken plate (US$5.95).

Here, pieces of boneless chicken are deep-fried until crunchy and golden brown. Next they are coated with the spicy garlic sauce and then served with 2 scoops rice and your choice of tossed or macaroni salad. Since this is deep-fried, and to give my arteries a bit of a rest, I have the tossed salad, with no dressing.

If I could, I would probably eat here more often. The prices are reasonable, the service is fast and efficient, the food is delicious and the portions are well...sometimes even too much for me to finish! All of this makes Sugoi a bargain and a great place for lunch.
