Strike

Strike 破店 (Vancouver) on UrbanspoonSheepie and I wanted to go to Green Leaf Sushi, but when we arrived, we realized that it was Sunday, and they were closed on Sundays. Since we were in the area, we decided to go to the nearby Sake Maki. To our disappointment, it was also closed, but for renovations! So then, we decided to check out the next door restaurant called Strike since we had seen many people go in while we were dining last time at Sake Maki.

It was crowded and busy, but we were lucky to get a table right away.

First of all, as a designer, I must say that I don’t like their logo. There is too many tension in the logo…the kerning isn’t right, the use of vector shape isn’t properly done, use of stroke and width and the use of space. Sorry. I know it’s just a restaurant, but sometimes, the logo can say what the food quality can be like.

I ordered the Wonton Noodle Soup $7.50 and Sheepie had the Teriyaki Chicken Steak Rice Combo $8.75. My soup was very bland and there were fat chunks in the wontons  – blah…I don’t like fatty meat. Bad for you, and means they’re using cheap meat.

Service was mediocre. Nothing super bad to mention, but nothing great to mention either. I was disappointed in the food. Not sure if I ordered the wrong thing. I tried a bit of Sheepie’s dish, but it was meh, nothing special…it filled our stomachs but not our wish to come back.

I’m willing to go back if someone knows the restaurant well and they can recommend me some good dishes. Otherwise, there are tons of other restaurants out there waiting to be tried.
