I live in Japantown so sometimes I eat this for breakfast/brunch. It’s Mentaiko Spaghett. It’s just simple pasta with a light tomato sauce, cod fish roe and some seaweed tossed on top. It’s damn good too. The roe adds an interesting texture but I think the seaweed is what really makes it. Nothing super heavy or oily either. Great for lunch.
The only thing that sucks is that I have to put up with this restaurant, On The Bridge, and it’s probably the most awkward service I have ever experienced. It never gets better, it’s really slow, unattentive waiters and a weird layout. The spot is in the Japantown mall which has a bridge that connects two buildings across Webster Street. They got manga books lining the walls in case you want to flip through some anime while your waiter bringing you the second set of silverware for no goddamn apparent reason. I have never been able to get these people to bring me the check.
Everytime I have to get up and chase down, which is retarded because this place is a hallway so if they would pay some attention they would notice that I finished my meal already. Whatever though, I like the spaghetti so I deal with it. They also make pizza which is interesting, especially if you like pizza with fish cakes as a topping. I don’t know what made them inspired that but they make it. It’s not the best restaurant, their curry isn’t great. The garlic fries are hella greasy too.
