Tofu - Think this was on the special menu?! This was steamed, the tofu had a smooth texture to it but needed a little more seasoning to it.
Toko Yaki (£4.95) - Grilled minced octopus in a ball form, mixed with spring onions and teriyaki sauce. YUM.
Kaisen Platter (£11.50) - Deep fried croquettes, pumpkin, prawns and soft shell crab. A great option to have when you are dining in a group! Considering it was all deep fried it wasn't dripping with oil at all.
Gyuunuko (£7.20) - Fried Udon noodles with Beef.
I wouldn't say it was extraordinary, but it plated up well just like you would get from any chinese restaurant. However, there was quite a small amount of Beef, so that was a shame.
Ahiru Bento Box (£14.95) - A traditional concept of having all fresh dishes in one box. This one contained of king prawn tempura, duck breast cooked in a Japanese plum sauce, steamed rice, salad and miso soup.
Tori Kare (£7.50) - Japanese Curry with chicken cutlet in breadcrumbs. This dish was decent , for me I would of preferred it to be more spicy.
Sapporo Sashimi (£29.95) - How mouth watering does this look? It certainly WAS! I love it when dishes are presented nicely. This consisted of 12 pieces of mixed sushi and 12 pieces of mixed sashimi.. mMm my favorite was the Salmon sashimi - soo fresh! and I'm not usually a fan of Tuna sashimi as it can be quite fishy but this was spot on fresh.
California Maki Roll (4.95) - Consisting of crabstick, avocado, cooked egg, cucumber and topped with tobikko.
Yummy, Yummy, Yummy. Its soo filling as well for just 8 pieces. But off course I shared! Tastes even better with Wasabi.
Avacado Maki (£3.00) - For first time trier's or people who don't usually eat raw seafood, its best to go for this option as its simple yet tasty. There are many other options on the menu you can have with Maki rolls.
Gona Sake Avocado (£3.20)- Another simple yet filling sushi. Hand-rolled seaweed with sushi rice, avocado & Salmon (Fave ingredients!) and a sprinkle of sesame. It's great that they actually fill up the hand roll with the ingredients all the way to the bottom.
I would rate Ocean Dragon 7.5, having been here for the first time, it was a good impression on this occasion, the food was lovely and fresh although some dishes lacked seasoning. The service was to a good standard but the downfall was that their card machine was not available during our visit. Would i recommend and visit again? Definately :) Hope you've enjoyed this post!
