5S17

I was very disappointed in the meal I had here. I went with three others to try this meal… and we were all dissatisfied with it. Let me keep it short and simple.
I ordered a Japa Bun, Tempura Oyster Mushrooms, and Japa Fries. The Japa burger was okay, nothing special. The side salad that it came with was terrible. It was extremely tart to the point that it made you cringe (I think there was way too much vinegar or something in it). The Tempura Oyster Mushrooms were extremely dry and the batter on it was clumpy. The only thing that made me give this restaurant a 2 stars out of 5 was that their Japa fries were really good.
Service wise, I ordered the Japa Bun because it comes with a toasted sesame bun. However, when I asked the waitress she had no clue what I was talking about. She gave me a blank stare, shook her head and walked away.
Judging from other ratings, perhaps I went on an off day. However, I don’t think I will be back.

A fusion of Japanese & French cuisine, complex flavors with a lot of depth. I had the smoked potage soup which was delicious, talked to the chef later and found out even though it looks simple the level of depth when developing the broth and getting the smoked flavor is very complex. I also had the crème brûlée and it had the perfect crack when you broke the sugar on top. Had a great time and good friendly service, I’ll definitely go back.

5S17, I love places that have cool names, the name is based on 5 Senses, also the owners name starts with a «S» (Satoru) and 17, obviously being located on 17. I had a great experience, I tried the tuna tartare and the kale and quinoa salad. Both were great, refreshing, loved the presentation. The salad dressing was delicious, I am looking forward to try some mains next time, I was in for a quick lunch this time. When you mix French with Japanese… well when you mix Japanese with anything, it’s out of this world!
