[Obsideon]

Here's the update in which you have all patiently waited for. ;)

So as you all know the name now will be: EBISU

Details

Grand Opening: Date has been once again DELAYED to be DEC. 20th, 2006, it is NOW 100% set in CONCRETE so let's get the good times rollin'!
Location: 827 BUTE ST. (right on the corner of ROBSON, 2nd floor. Above Payless Shoes, same intersection as Moxies, Earls and SteamRollers.)
Phone No. - (604) 689-8266

There were major and minor problems that have come up the last few months, approval of licenses, leaking roof, broken heater/air conditioner, delays in my orders for chinaware, chairs, tables, decors, cutlery, glasses, etc. I have ordered many things from abroad (Japan, Italy, etc.) so some of those companies are tied up which results in more delays for me.

Now to answer some of your concerns:

Take some pictures of your restaurant and post them here when it's done. I'm sure there are many of us who would like to see the decor.
willystyle - I'm not sure if I want to post pics of the decor on here as it will ruin/dull the overall experience of actually being there to take in the ambience but maybe I will. =)

sh0n - Online menu set along with the website will be a bit later on as there are more pressing issues at the moment (getting the doors opened haha)

Originally posted by RevSceneGirl25
Cool, thanks. Will you guys be open for lunch, or dinner only?
RevSceneGirl25 - When we first open we will only be doing dinner to get into the groove of things first and then we will decide when to start opening for lunch, perhaps a month or 2 later.

...but isn't there already an "Ebisu" on Robson across from the library?
Senna4ever - hmm.. I am not aware of it, but I doubt it since City Hall has approved my license to use that name, unless THAT establishment isn't licensed or it's not really a restaurant.

spiritofevil99 - Read further down there is some pretty interesting info regarding this issue. =)

PLEASE provide white-style service. don't make it a typical asian or japanese restaurant. I haven't been to EVERY single chinese/japanese/pho place but almost all of them give crappy service. Even high end chinese places treat their customers like crap. ie $40+ a person.
Autorice - I will try my utmost best to provide the best service humanly possible!


Continued...

[Obsideon]

On to other matters:

I've come to a decision that ALL RS people, friends, family and whoever else new and old are welcome to check out the new restaurant!

I will be issuing 25, yes, 25% Promotion cards to anybody and everybody that's interested as a Grand Opening special, get them while you can, they're hot!

Now for the very helpful people that I mentioned on the list in the other thread, in addition to getting the 25% Promotion card you will ALSO receive a VIP Access card which entitles you to 10% AND a FREE Appetizer to get your night rollin'! The VIP cards are VERY limited.

If your name is on the list please PM me your real name so that when you drop by you can show me some sort identification for verification. :)

The list of potential VIPs are:

!SG -- confirmed
InvisibleSoul
Valour

Now for the rest of you I still need your first and last names so I can identify and verify that's it's really you picking up the VIP card and not some scrub, cuz I won't give it to any scrub, only RS scrubs. :D

[Obsideon]

Oh and another note.
I am still looking for people to fill various positions:

Waitress/Hostess/Cashier/Kitchen Helpers

If your interested please PM me. You can then either Email, Fax or drop it off personally to me.

Oh to those that PM'd me a few weeks ago sorry I took a bit longer than intended to respond but I never got a reply back, which is kinda rude. :flamemad:

[hamsup]

hahaha.. i better get a vip card !!! or else !!!!!!!! i am coming over to your place to flip tables !!! lol =)

congrats bro on a soon to open restaurant !!!

[ExcelPremium]

yay~ opening soon ^^

hopefully no delays, looking forward to it in dec!

[P902]

sweetness, can't wait to check it out

[Senna4ever]

Good luck with everything!

Don't steal my customers! :p j/k

[WhiteVitz]

congrat to your new restaruant!

is it going to be AYCE or other style?

[Obsideon]

WhiteVitz: Get with the program! Haha j/k, anyways no this new hotspot will definitely NOT be AYCE, yet easily affordable. AYCE would totally ruin the ambience, and quality of food.

Well as of this moment I'm not exactly sure what I'm planning on doing. Well the main trunk of it would be Japanese obviously. Then it could possibly branch off into many many different styles. Western, izakaya, sushi/sashimi. It could possibly be an explosion of many different cultures and ideas! You should come check it out for yourself!

One thing's for sure is there will definitely be lots of drinks! Cheap beer! Fancy *ahem-Delicious* cocktails (I created some myself, they are GOOD! :p). a wide selection of some of the best tasting and most premium Sakes in the world! Wines, Sangria, and pretty much anything else you want, I can do!.. :D


NOTICE:

I forgot one very important thing that many of you have pointed out to me, and that is..

HOW DO I GET THESE CARDS?!

Well stupid me, in the midst of all this excitement I forgot to state such an important issue.

1. The 25% Promotion cards I might have some trouble getting them passed along. I will be giving out a stack to a few people (some are active on RS) to help me pass out to other fellow RS'ers and to their friend's and families. If possible I would like some other volunteers (preferably if I already know you) to help out as well.

hamsup will be one of them so you can harrass him for the cards! :evil

Also I will be placing a batch at other restaurants to be passed out by their staff. The list of branches you can pick them up are as follows:

EBISU - 827 Bute St. (on the corner of Bute & Robson, old Hooters) ~ I will be there most of November setting up so if you happen to be strolling along on Robson you can pass by and pick one up directly from me, my name is Deon
Kamakura Japanese Cuisine - 601 W. Broadway (behind Bread Garden, beside London Drugs)
Kamei Royale - 211 - 1030 W Georgia, Vancouver (on the corner of Alberni & Burrard, 2nd floor, across from the Vancouver Hotel)
Taisho Japanese Restaurant - 15E-4700 Kingsway (inside Metropolis, you can't miss it, across from T.G.I.F.)
Rz Tapas and Sushi - 100-8111 Ackroyd Rd. (Same Parking lot as Chapters.. it's across the street from White Spot and Boston Pizza, can't miss it along No. 3
Daimasu Richmond - 8300 Granville Avenue (Between Garden City and No. 3)

There's 2 other locations but I probably won't have enough, but if I make anymore I will post'em up! :\

ok next..
2. The VIP cards which are issued to the select few can be obtained when they arrive at the new location and present their identification to me

[Sp3cial_K]

sounds like evisu..the jean company

Is this restaurant owned by Japanese or another asian race?

i can't stand going to chinese or viet owned japanese restaurants.

Must be Authentic!

anyways good luck opening

[ExcelPremium]

You have the VIP cards ready?

If so, We could just go to the new store(Ebisu) before it opens and find you to obtain it?

We also get the Normal card's as well from you?(VIP Members)

[Autorice]

other restaurants are willing to help promote your restaurant? that's amazing!
hook me up too :D

[Obsideon]

The cards are in the process of being printed as we speak, so the answer is no they are not ready right now but I'm hoping to recieve them by Nov. 1st!

[What_the?]

Congrats on the soon to be grand opening!

I personally like izakaya style japanese food, but any good japanese food will be an awesome addition to my dining out list.

In terms of the VIP cards, should we ask for you directly when we arrive? (and what is your non-RS name if thats the case), or will whoever greets your guests at the door be aware that there are people who may come to pick up VIP cards? (just so I don't arrive and ask for a VIP card because I was one of the people from RS and the person there thinks i'm crazy)

[Obsideon]

My name is Deon, I thought I mentioned that already but ah wells. =)

[superstylin]

oh darn.. might i get into the sushi extravaganza?

maybe i can't get on the vip list.. but my girl works at taisho@metropolis so is it cool if i get her to grab me the 25%grand opening card??

congrats deon!

The one by the library is called Ebi Ten. It's a really small joint with only about 8 items to choose from. Definitely fast food style. It shouldn't cause any confusion.

Anyways, AznSiR, congrats on the restaurant. In addition to the dinner / lunch question, do you plan to open late, especially if you do more izakaya style? I hope the sake list will be a good one ... I find very few establishments here in Vancouver ever put the effort into choosing the right kinds of sakes to serve w/ their food.

[willystyle]

Get some Shochu.. Man, I prefer that over Sake.

[hamsup]

I'll post when i get the promo cards..

i think it is too late to get on the VIP card list... cuz they is a very limited amount...

[Obsideon]

ARGH! There was some 'slight' confusion in terms of getting the cards printed, but no worries they 'should' still be ready to be distributed by Nov 1st!

HOTSHOTKEN - Thanks for clarifying that. We will be open pretty late, we're gunning for midnight on weekdays and probably 1ish on weekends, but that could change as we are re-applying for a license to open even later.
About the sake, for sure it will be a great list. I have sales representatives coming in from Yoshinogawa, Hakutsuru, SCB, and throng of others trying to push their product at my establishment. I will be 'personally' :D testing all of them for quality and value along with the rest of my staff before putting it on the menu. There will be plenty to choose from!

Originally posted by willystyle

There will most definitely be a variety of Shochu's to choose from, the simple Moonlight to the aged Enma are at your disposal, on the rocks, with lemon, hot water, up to you! Also many, many cocktails will also have Shochu infused to create a unique, delicious blend of drinks.

Also Plum Wines for dessert is great!

I'll keep you guys posted!

~ Deon

[superstylin]

^^ sweet! thanks alot man!

hahah i can see it now.. all RS'ers will have to do is flash a RS lanyard at the door and you're in. :D

[Meowjin]

This will be a new dining experience for me...

Ooh ... not bad. I'm very keen on trying as many different kinds of dai-ginjo as possible (& as long as they fit the pocketbook!). Looking forward to seeing the selection. Any chance to join in on the taste test? ;)

Oh, and I didn't mean to ignore the shochus or plum wines ... just not a huge fan when drinking straight up.

Cocktails ... good stuff! I have a few interesting ideas on cocktails using sake, shochu, green tea liquor, etc ... not 100% tested though! haha...

I wish I were back in Japan ... there's so many different sakes to choose from!

[ctsport]

congrats man! :D I will come for dinner next time Iam in DT :D

[!oHenry]

O i cant wait to try your restarant...CONGRATZ on the opening
still trying to get an rs card tho

[rsxtypes]

my birthday is on Dec.01 lol.. do i get some special discount.. for my b-day being the same day of your grand opening hahaha!

[Gt-R R34]

ar you guys opened already?

I'd lvoe to try a fellow Rv's restaurant ;D

[!Tigger]

Damn man, Im gonna make some dinner plans for my chirstmas dinner at your place so i hope My RS lan yard can get me a discount =P

[Obsideon]

To all those that have tried to pick up the promotion cards. I deeply apologize, the printing company screwed up (Too much coloring, wet paint dripped, go figure :\) and had to re-print the cards. I WILL be picking them up tomorrow, Wednesday, November 8th and they will be distributed immediately! Sorry!

[SuperStarrr]

sweet!

[imiaKe]

Autorice - I will try my utmost best to provide the best service humanly possible!



You should try to hire people who were trained in European service aka .. french service or english service

[ExcelPremium]

Are the cards ready for the pick-up? ^^

[Obsideon]

Yup the cards ARE ready at all the locations listed above! Just ask for one if the managers dont have the time to pop by and give you one!

PS: Grand Opening Dec. 1st might have to be delayed, but I'm pushing for it to be open. I hope I don't rush it and screw everything up. I'd rather put it back a few days or a week and make sure the food/service is up to par than open it rushed and provide bad service.

[superstylin]

yay! thanks man!

i'll be there opening day!

[Lord JKL]

congrat for the opening, ill spread the words around coquitlam and make them all go down there all at once hehe

[hamsup]

the countdown for grand opening

[fuhkyu]

I am so going when your resteraunt opens sounds awesome!
I propose a RS meet at Deon's resteraunt.

[!SG]

I drove by on robson and saw the neon sign up!!

[Obsideon]

*SIGH* ... I am sorry to announce that we will have to be delayed for another 2 weeks ... :cry:

The damn Liquor Board is taking FOREEEEEVER to get the Inspector in to finish up and issue us the licence, how can we open without any ALCOHOL! .. there HAS to be ALCOHOL! :flamemad:

The next scheduled date to open is now Dec 15th
I guess it just makes the wait that much more worthwhile! :angel2: (Doubt it tho)

[Derek_N84]

Your new sign looks better than the old. Good job!

[xxxrsxxx]

[Ducky]

I droped by this evening and took a sneak peak at the place. The space looks great and perfect for an izakaya style restaurant. Good job Deon, I wil lcall you for reservations trying to decide on wednesday or saturday night.

[Meowjin]

[Ducky]

[hamsup]

sweeet.. =) i think i will probably see you there.. cuz i am going pretty early myself !!!

I'll post pics of some of the menu items after his grand opening.. don't want to post any spoilers ! hahahah

[Ducky]

I just got back from dinner I think I was there for three and a half hours tonight 6:15 to 9:45. I did see a couple revscene ppl, and was introduced to one but couldnt really here his name since it was pretty noisy inside.
I have picts of dinner just uploading them now and noticed I have tomorow off, so I will post soon.

Thanks Deon for everything and congratulations, I have a feeling you are going to do great; awsome location, good food, great service, I will be back again this week.

[!SG]

food was great deon. I dont care what other ppl say, the thunder fries were done to perfection. people want the yam's to be softer, but to do that, u sacrifice the thickness of the cut. smaller cut, softer. they were done perfectly, not too soft, just center core with a bite.

YOU MADE MY REGULAR DRINK INTO YOUR REGULAR DRINK!!! (vodka redbull)

The oysters were perfect, the tomosomething something, err raw octopus was great, the presentation on that was superb!

I LOVED THAT IKA thing, man it was good, you guys did it to perfection, slight char on the outside. the burntness brings out the flavor of the squid.

many thanx to you, and YAY BABY!! no.1!!! :D

http://www.revscene.net/SorrGwa/Ebisu_VIP.JPG

[Supersport]

I was at the Grand Opening as well and all i have to say is that the food is great there. The snow crab legs were really really good, so was the Tiger Mayo and the Chicken Karaage and... I ate so much i'm not sure what was what anymore.

Thanks for the good times!

[!SG]

i was kinda dissapointed though, no brass poles like deon promised :D thinking that it took the old hooters location, there should have been some brass poles put in... for i donno, in case a waitress or 2 decides to go for a swing around them... :D

[hamsup]

haha... ducky i think i met you but you didn't hear what my name was... not too sure though.. hahaha.. i didn't know you were friends with carmen.. lol !!!

overall the entire night was awesome.. i as there for about 3.5-4 hours.. i think i was really rowdy... and over drank myself.. hahaha !!! pictures will be posted tonight.. when i am a bit more awake... right now my entire office is spinning.. lol !!!

saw alot of old faces so that was extremely nice.. =)

SG.. lol !! i am 007 as per requested !!!

[sh0n]

Congrats on the openning,

LOL is there anyway to still get a VIP card? I've been away for school since I've last posted name suggestions for the restaurant.

[ExcelPremium]

fuck..need to find some time to pick up my VIP card! ><

[Meowjin]

I was unable to come because right now im dying of bubonic plague or something. I'm hoping to come in after christmas.

[iceburner]

Rave reviews. I gotta go!

I'd love a 25% Promotion card if you still have them ^_^

[Edison_Chen]

^ +1.. I should take my gf there on our 6 month ani

[!Tigger]

+1 i wanna take my friends there, sounds so awesome how about a RS discount??? =D if we show our lan yards so no one can cheat and just say their from RS

[ah_cat]

nice to have met you today, Deon :)
I came in w/ Rob, in case you don't remember.

[EVO-VIII]

about how much is it to eat there?

[What_the?]

Nice meeting you today too Deon... (in case you don't remember, I was the guy talking to you about the pork and the tonkatsu).. The GF really loved the decor, much more than Hapa, which she refers to as being hidden in a basement with the windows all blocked out... My faves of the night were the tiger mayo, and the oysters... The Ika Meshi was really unique too! Love all the great ideas and will definitely be back with my other buddies :)

[Obsideon]

Thanks for all the great feedback guys! Much appreciated!

cat ya I remember you, you need to come by more often even after Rob leaves haha!

Thanks for the head's up James, always great to get some good tips!

I still have a few promotion cards you can pick'em up, not many left though :(

EVO - depends on how much you eat and what you order haha .. tapas range from 3 bucks to 9ish all under $10 .. then there's the meat and seafood entrees like certified angus steak and racks of lamb for under $20 .. then there's the wide selection of cheap booze :D

[Meowjin]

I think ill come by my self tommorow before work.

[!SG]

nonono.... thank you Deon. You listened to what everyone said, and came out with a great creation. Im sure Ebisu will make its name on the Robson Map.

Next time im gonna try some of the entree's... the tapa's were great, too great, was full before i could even look at the entree's...

[jACEDesignsLtd]

[Obsideon]

Drop by on NYE we're gonna have a crazy time! Planning to open til at LEAST 2am! .. if the party is still rollin' we'll be up until 4am!

Complimentary Champagne for the countdown! We're right in the heart of Robson anyway there's no better place!

[!SG]

[ExcelPremium]

Hey Deon! Is there any spots for tomorrow(Boxing Day) around dinner time? 5ish/6

[ultra_man99]

Hey Aznsir, just curious how your related to the retaurant? are you the owner?

[Obsideon]

Thanks Shoei!

I'm the janitor, it looks really cool when I go in to clean up every night :angel2:

[iPee]

didn't know you were on Rev too Deon
its Ivan btw

haha glad you guys like the Ika Meshi
its one of the things i make

[!Tigger]

do you have to be 19+ to go in?

[girlie]

Are there still promotion cards available at the listed restaurants?? I made reservations to go with my gfs tmr for our late X-mas dinner.

[!SG]

ebisu is first and foremost a restaurant.

so you will be treated no differently than say white spot, u order a drink, they ask to check ur id. simple as that.

so does that mean its closed to 19+?? nope, u can go there, eat, but if u want to order alcohol and ur under 19, prepare to get id'd and denied.

[grock]

is this an izakaya type restaurant or just regular sushi stuff?

[hamsup]

izakaya type.... but their menu covers a wide variety of styles of food =)

[girlie]

So I went there tonight for a late X-mas party with the girls. Couldn't score a last minute discount card but that's ok.

Everything was quite yummy and everyone satisfied at the end of the meal. I fell in love with the tako...something....the little bits of octopus in the cucumber thing and had 3 of them. The chicken karaage, the samurai roll also stuck out and the tiger mayo. Yum yum.

I regret not ordering the Smoked Black Cod since it smelled so damn good when the waitress walked by with it. And now thinking about it I think we ordered the smoked duck but didnt' get it but oh wells, we were stuffed. The only odd part was the waitress stopping me from ordering more when I was going down the menu, guess she was right since we did have enough food.

Will definately be back again sometime in the near future.

[iceburner]

I was there last night too!
The food was good. I like the tiger mayo and agedashi tofu.

The biggest problem was that the table they put us at was too small!

We ordered a lot, and the food came out so quick. There was no room to put all the plates. No time to savour, we were just constantly eating to make room.

The towelettes at the beginning were a nice touch though. Good suggestion :)

Everyone was full at the end though. It only cost a bit more than all you could eat. Maybe it's cause we filled up on the oriental nachos though. We were trying to figure out what made it oritental, cause it looked like regular nachos =D

[jACEDesignsLtd]

^My gf went there last night too.. wonder if it was the same group you both are talking about.. like around 15-20 people or so?

[TRDood]

i went there last night.
the food was good, and the presentation was super!

alcohol was cheap, and lots to choose!
but i think they should add robata? (little meat/fish/veggie grilled a stick) stuff on the menu. those things are great with beer/drinks. that's just my suggestion.

oh, and if the menu had a little picture of the food, it'd be very nice. i don't like to read the little description personally, i'd read it if the thing looked interesting. the cover of the menu itself was very eye catching~

other than that, i like the atmosphere and presentation.
the food lack a little flavour

1. tiger mayo had no taste i had to drown the shrimp into the sauce
2. the spicy-ness with the pan-fried noodle cover the taste of the dish
3. California roll was cool!
4. Asari (clam) pasta had decent amount of calms, i liked
5. Chicken karrage was a little plain as well, like the tiger mayo

but i like that almost every dish had a dipping sauce tho!

i will visit again soon, thanks Deon!

[ExcelPremium]

Thanks Deon! Went there today with my friend, and ordered lot's of the stuff mentioned and got some suggestion from the Manager himself haha...

Overall it's a pretty nice place, good food, good ambience. Will definately come back soon!

[HOTSHOTKEN]

what are the operating hours?

[Obsideon]

Thanks for the feedback!

grock: Izakaya Tapas, Sushi rolls (Specialty chef creations), Sashimi, pasta, burgers 'n sandwiches! I'm sure the selection will satisfy you :)

girlie: Which one were you? I was there, should have looked for me and said hi! I think I can still muster up a few more cards if u ask nicely! hehe Your dish was the Takowasa, it's a great appy, especially with beer/sake! Don't try to order everything in 1 try you'll regret it lol, come back more often!

iceburner: Next time you come down look for me, I would like to meet the fellow RSers that take the time and effort to come down. I'm really grateful for that! Ya and about the tables.. some of them are tad too small .. but no worries next time I'll take you to a bigger table! The nachos.. hm.. it has gone through a few stages of metamorphasis.. at first it was kinda oriental.. but didn't taste as good.. so.. well.. there might be some more changes in the future as I'm soaking in all the great feedback from all you guys and applying it in the kitchen!

Jace: Last night there were a few big tables haha! :p

Trdood: Thanks for dropping by man! There are a couple robata items on the menu already like the asparagus bacon and the yakitori .. also some of the fish is smoked too, just gotta scan the menu more carefully heh. Ya also we thought about adding pics in the menu, sorta like Kamei/Daimasu .. but I felt it didn't fit this atsmosphere as much so we opted out :( ... tiger mayo not sure what I can do .. most of the people told me it was great .. not sure what to change to make it even better... I guess everyone has difference preferences .. =\ The spicy noodles.. did you order the yakiudon + kimchi? If so then ya kimchi is a strong flavour it tends to overpower a lotta foods.. but some people love it ... next time try it just regular! :) .. thx on the other stuff .. and I'll try to spice up the chicken a bit for ya ;)
[BTW I think your friend left her glasses so if she did can you pass the msg for me? or if I stop by the bank, maybe tomorrow morning on my way to the office]

ExcelPremium: Nice meeting you man, thanks for coming I'll see you soon!

HOTSHOTKEN: 5-12 (midnight) Tuesday to Sunday for now, temporary. I'm applying for a licence to extend the hours on weekends to 1 or 2am but not sure when that will be approved. Closed on Mondays for now so me and the chefs can hold meetings & help improve the food on the feedback I'm getting from all you guys!

By Law, on New Years Eve I'm allowed to operate well into the night! 4:00AM! .. let's PARTY!!

Thanks again everyone!

[!Tigger]

Think i can get a Promo Card too Deon?

Yes that's what it was called....yumm I'm craving so takowasa now...oh and another thing I forgot to mention that was absolutely delicious was the ika menshi? Grilled squid with rice and salmon skin inside. Must make another trip back soon.

I was sitting in the back in a booth with 6 other girls. Our table was laden with stuff as we did our X-mas gift exchange that night and some guy came up and told us to order more slowly since there was no more room....maybe that was you??

[Obsideon]

Crossbone, ya I still got some promo cards I believe, swing by!

girlie: oooh I think I remember that table, you had gifts piled up on the side of the bench? No that wasn't me that came up to you girls, but be sure to look for me next time! Also I don't think that was right what the guy said, whoever it was, I'll find out. It is OUR responsibility to bring out the food to you at a slower/more controlled pace, not to tell you not to order. I'll have to set that straight, sorry 'bout that.

[Obsideon]

Also I'm surprised nobody has noticed that we ONLY use REAL wasabi. It's expensive stuff compared to the powdery imitation stuff that 98% of the other restaurants in Vancouver use, you can really taste the difference, when I had it I've never went back to the old stuff! :rofl:

[TRDood]

no wonder the wasibi has those roots/spikey stuff!
it was different but brain was too slow to process that.

[iceburner]

jACE: Nah, I was with another group. I don't think anyone there goes on Revscene.

AznSir: I did notice the wasabi was flaky, so I thought it was the real stuff, but when I asked my friend, he told me it wasn't. So I thought it was just something else.

[willystyle]

Hey AznSiR, This is Will, Thanks for hookin my buddy and I up with a VIP card. Appreciate it. You guys serve great food, so it's only going to be a matter of time till ur place packs up like every night. I'll be worry about gettin a seat in the house man.. haha

[Kagemusha]

Congrats on the opening :) As someone who has previously been in the hospitality industry for almost a decade, I know how hard it is to open up a restaurant and how much work goes into it behind the scenes. (I never opened one up, but I've thought of it).

Great location and from the looks of the pictures and all, I have no doubts you'll be successful for years and maybe even get some acknowledgement in one of them local hospitality magazines :D

Congrats agian!

[Meowjin]

awesome I get off of work at 3 am at the celler and I will defiantly come down for a bite after work.

[Macadamia]

Great New Year's party BTW,

I really enjoyed the asparagus gyoza, very good vegetarian dish. Orgazmo loved the chicken karaage!

We'll tell more friends to go there!

[hamsup]

belly.. you were there ???? i was there too.. were u at the RS table ???

it was a great party.. though when i left.. no one was really left at the restaurant.. hahahaha !!!

Thanks Deon for a great nite out.. i haven't drank that much since um... err... GRAND OPENING !!! hahahaha....

[KChen]

DAMN i went there last nite and thats the only nite you're closed

[Obsideon]

Oh dude sorry 'bout that KChen,

Yeah for these few weeks we're closing on Mondays so the managerial staff can have a full-on meeting about working out the kinks that might have popped up over the week, improving the food dishes that I got great feedback from (You guys + other customers) .. nitpicking the little things the servers slacked on, reworking the menu a bit here and there, taking out the less popular ones, putting in new ideas.

But we WILL be operating 7 days a week starting February (5th?) so no worries!

[Supafly]

wow, i still havent had the time to check out your place!...and im only about a 10 minute walk away!.. one day im going to bring all my bental buddies down to have lunch at your place...=)

[7seven]

Been hearing lots about this place from Shoei, think I'll come by for dinner Friday AznSiR.

WHAT!! u work in Bentall? i know u are a building engineer (im in the same field as u )

which building u look after?
Bentall 5? Bentall 1?

[Mr.HappySilp]

Went last sun for lunch but it wasn't open(or don't do lucnh on sun) a bit disappointed.... I might go again for dinner later.

[hamsup]

i think they are only open for dinners right now... but will open for lunch very soon =)

[Obsideon]

Yeah we aren't doing lunches right now either.

Just everything was so rushed we haven't had time to do many things, website will be up soon. Then we'll work on a lunch menu. Also need to get the chefs accustomed to the new dishes first because lunch is usually a lot more rushed with all the office people taking breaks and wouldn't be good if they had to wait 15 minutes to eat and then scarf it down in 10 minutes then sprint back LOL.. cramps a la king!

So I would prefer to get things righted and perfect before pushing it out the door kinda half assed.

That's why it took so long to open in the first place!

[Mr.HappySilp]

Keep us updated when u will have lunch menus.

Off topic: It seems a lot of restaurant in downtown don't open for lunch on sundays. Went to a few places and all of them don't open till 5. Ened up eating at moiex(sp) coz we were straving lol.

I made reservation for my bday party here. i need to know some must try dishes! thanks thanks!

snow crab legs
Tiger Mayo
Chicken Karaage
Smoked Black Cod
Takowasa

[TreyDoja]

I was there on Saturday, the 13th. Got to meet Deon through Ducky.

Ambiance - Excellent
Food - Good
Drinks - Excellent
Prices - Excellent

I'm definitely going to come back, but next time with a few more friends. It was a last minute decision and with Ducky hyping it up and all, i just couldn't hold off for another day. The food looked appetizing but just didn't hit the spot, which could have been due to the fact that I had just gotten over the flu.

Anyway, congrats Deon. The place looks like it'll be a success. Ducky introduced us sometime in the night. I was in the booth up front, across from the bar. I'll be back soon!

[Valour]

Thanks Deon! It was a great place to bring this new honger girl I met. I had the oyster plattter (mmmmmmmmmmm!) sangria pitcher(coulda used more booze in it!) crab tartar(delicious and creamy), soft shell crab (it was very cute, good presentation. glad i didn;t have to kill it, just eat it!) sashimi ( nice and fresh) , shrimp gyoza (very unique presentation!!), beef tataki (good texture, need more kick in the ponzu sauce, loved the garlic chips) green tea iced cream wit mango liquer (not a dessert person myself, but she liked it!) Too bad Hooters wasted such a good location. They had all the ahem talent... this place has a strong HK feel with the glass window and seating.

[hamsup]

the salad in the soft shell crab dish had a bit too much vinigrette.. but the flavours were delcious !!!

i was there too on the 13th... spotted alot of familiar faces !

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

Im going there this sunday (21st) cuz my birthday.

Going there with 6-7ppl, should i make reservation?


around 6pm

It'd probably be the smartest idea TO make reservations in case the larger tables are taken up.

you can call the restaurant to book a reservation for dine out.. i would mention that you want to book for dine out so they can prep for you.

good luck =)

[Integra_T1R]

Went there on saturday with my g/f for dinner and I was impressed once I first walked in. Then afterwards I had to try the food to see if it's really as good as when you walk in. So I looked at the whole menu and ordered a varity of dishes that seemed appetising. All the dishes i ordered were present very nicely and tasted awsome. So I was very impressed with this new jap restruant.

Other then that there was one thing I didn't really like too much about the restraunt, was the service. I found that it was a bit slow and unattentive.

[Obsideon]

Thanks for droppin' by Integra_T1R!
You didn't look for me?! ...haha I would have wanted to meet you! As for the service, I'm guessing it was a bit busy on saturday evening but that is no excuse! I will work hard to improve it for sure! <Takes out the whip> :evil I'll come over personally more often! But you gotta look for me and introduce yourself dude!

I'm also offering a new Sake, it's hot off the market! It's called the "G" ... I'm offering them in glasses. Usually they go for like 85 bucks a bottle! Only $5 a glass during dine-out, served on the rocks, the only sake in the world recommended to be served in ice! Tastes great!

Edit: This one is more suitable! --> :whipped: ... haha but let's just keep that to ourselves.. ahem ..

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

I will look for u when i go there for my birthday


:p



Kevin

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

So i went there tonight for my birthday (sunday) with 7 ppl

we ordered like over 15 plates of food, everything was fantastic, all my friends loved it. THE sushi was good, but i think we shouldnt have order 4 plates of sushi, because normally sushi is sushi, u cant alter it too much to make it super special. but dont get me wrong the sushi was great, and has a unique style to each one of them. I just thought with those 4 dishes we could have order some other non sushi stuff and tried it out~~


Had a fantastic time there, my best b-day experience ever. Lol thx a lot dion, dont know wat my buddy was talkin to u about>? probably comin back next time? since everyone at my table kept sayin DAMN THIS IS GOOD

hahaha
:p

we were so busy eating and amazed by the food we TOTALLY forgot about drinks..blahhh oh well i guess next time i guess, way too overwhelmed by the food..wat can i say? we will be back next time tatz for sure

[LanEvoVII]

damn i cant wait for this sat for my bday!
i gotta call in and change the reservations to 20 ppl now haha!

[hamsup]

wow... see you there lanevoVII.. I have a bday there as well !! lol

[LanEvoVII]

haha you probably dont know what i look like...never been to the meets either

maybe this summer...wen my supra gets a new heart transplant

[hamsup]

I am a pretty big guy.. um... and i walk around alot when i am drunk ! lol

[SpuGen]

I loved the beef Yakisoba.
Only thing though, it was a little bit on the salty side. The Pale ale made it that much better :)

I have a question though, does anybody know how long in advance I would need to book a reservation for 15 people? I'm planning a dinner in 2 months and I just wanted to know if I would book it the week before or a couple days before hand :)

[miss_crayon]

tonight was the first time i tried ebisu and it was amazingggg. probably because my boy took me here but oh em gees. yummy in my tummy!

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

bump for deon AGAIN lol, the food never disappoints me. And the ppl i bring there all loves it, im going back again on valentine's day as well as my dad's b-day next month~~

for those who havent tried....this is one of those restaurant u MUST try..


Here is my favorite food starting with the favorite

Oyster (freshest oyster i ever had)

pasta with white sauce and clams

The fried tofu

Shirmp salad was terrific

Crab salad (small plate)

Taco tuna

aspargus with bacon

scallop with cheese

and the rest? lol no complaints..everything is awsome.

One problem tho, im almost running out of food on the menu, almost tried all the foods

:p

[Meowjin]

god damn that pumpkin soup was awesome.

[forgamez]

how does this place compare to Guu, Hapa or Shiru Bay?

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

never tried shiru bay


But Ebisu > Guu x2 > Hapa

[rb]

Baked snow crab or Soft Shell Crab Salad @ Ebisu?

Need to pick asap but i've never had either before heh.

i havent order any drinks yet, care to share some good ones?

and roughly how much?

[Meowjin]

well i believe it was 15 dollars for 4 shots for weak ones (supermans, blowjobs etc...)

and 18 for 4 hard shots (liquid cocaine etc...)

also a pitcher of beer is 10 dollars. That's amazing value especially for the location of the place.

[Derek_N84]

[Obsideon]

Sigh geez I should apologize to a lotta people on this Saturday. We were so unbelievably booked that I totally ran out of chairs/tables and there were quite a few unhappy customers cuz they were all packed too tightly that there was no room! :\

Also I realized service wasn't as up to par as usual .. it was just SO busy .. there were 4 birthday parties going on at the same time! ... must have been about 200 people in here! NYE all over again geez! I will put more staff on duty on the weekends now to rectify this problem as well! Learn from my mistakes, we been open a month, food will still be improved in some ways, the dishes that aren't too impressive will be revamped and so on.

I will address those issues right away. As of tomorrow I'm going to order a lot more chairs and some tables so that hopefully that problem doesn't happen again!

oh and...
and damn you Ducky you got me drunk! :p Can't drink like that again when I'm working .. all those shooters .. gah! :cry:

[Ducky]

All I can say is wow Deon last night was just nuts, a little pre bday drinking for you.
A few of us were talking today and we felt bad about contributing to you getting drunk at work, we got a little out of control. :5shots:
Thanks again for accomodating us.

Dont be to hard on yourself or the staff you had alot to deal with, and for a young groug your all doing a good job. Everyone is bound to do mistakes or over look stuff, it comes with experiance.

Thanks again.

to be honest its probably not the best idea taking out, first u are ruining the beautiful display of the way they setup their food...and 2nd u will be missin out the atmosphere of the restaurant setup..and so on...better idea to dine in i'd say

Also I realized service wasn't as up to par as usual .. it was just SO busy .. there were 4 birthday parties going on at the same time! ... must have been about 200 people in here! NYE all over again geez! I will put more staff on duty on the weekends now to rectify this problem as well! Learn from my mistakes, we been open a month, food will still be improved in some ways, the dishes that aren't too impressive will be revamped and so on.

I will address those issues right away. As of tomorrow I'm going to order a lot more chairs and some tables so that hopefully that problem doesn't happen again!

oh and...
and damn you Ducky you got me drunk! :p Can't drink like that again when I'm working .. all those shooters .. gah! :cry:

what can i say.. alcohol makes me very sleepy.. :p

thanks for the birthday wishes :)

i vaguely remember seeing someone wearing glasses sitting and talking to one of my friends.. i'm assuming that was you?

[Ducky]

Yeah my crew took Deon out of comission for the night but a few other tables help, it was a fun night.

Yeah that was me I was talking to May and Reon.

[Obsideon]

Haha it's ok Viv now that I think about it I'm pretty glad I didn't have that final drink with you or else I'd be completely unconcious after what Ducky and his friends put me through, next time I will take it down a notch, erm, many notches ... pacemaker!

You can do take-out that's not a problem, but then the food will get cold and you won't get the cheap drinks! Haha we WILL be open for lunch, that's for sure, it's just a matter of time. It will be soon, just gotta finish up the menu's an' stuff!

The 2 cakes I got her were the Chocolate Paisano and Creme Brulee Cheese Cake. Kinda Yin Yang style. Haha both are on the Dine-out menu as well!

[S17]

Yo Deon, it was great meeting you man. This is Perkin (i was with my other 2 friends interested in starting a restaurant business and my friend that forgot his Cold-FX ahah). Thanks for the advice but I bet you got a lot more tips, advice and stories to share about starting up a business lol.

I really love the atmosphere of this place and its really large too..i was surprised at the size. Like i said to you the entree but i forgot the name (clam alfredo-like dish) could be improved but overall the food was good. The appetizers are really delicious like the Soft Shell Crab Salad and Thunder Fries. I also loved the Creme Brulee cheesecake...so yummy (but i know where to get it hehe).

I also really admire the fact that you always want to improve your menu by listening to positive and negative feedback. I'm more than happy to tell you how i feel about the dishes straight up anytime lol.

But yeah i had a great time there. My friends and i want to hold our business meetings at Ebisu cuz its such a chill place with awesome drink prices.

See ya soon Deon. :D

[hamsup]

S17.. haha i met you too !! lol !! i was on the table closer to the bar.. and saw that you left ur cold-fx... haha i was like DAMN THAT SHIT WORKS DEON ... haha !!! then u came back for it.. lol !!!

anyways............. HAPPY BDAY DEON... you're now how old ??? 15 ??? lol !!! j/k... n e wayz.. happy bday !!! i think next time i get you a cake.. it should be a lighter one !!! the cheese cake made me feel so tired at the end of the night !!

[TreyDoja]

Deon - would it be possible for you to accomodate a party of 25-30?

[S17]

[Obsideon]

Ice_GT learned the hard way :(

:D

[Meowjin]

im hungryu

[LC21]

zomfg hire me.. i want some good food!

[Ch28]

Just got back from the RS mod dinner at Ebisu tonight.

The soft shell crab salad, rack of lamb and creme brulee cheesecake were awesome.

Great service, cute waitresses and Deon was great throughout the night.

[rb]

Thanks Deon for the shooters even though i could never get my hands on one... damn alkiholics heh. I was the one that showed up way early for the RS dinner. Anyways, awesome atmosphere, cute waitresses and pretty decent dishes.

Oh and the TV in the section where RS was in was way too high up :p

[TreyDoja]

Deon - thanks for the last minute reservation.

I must say, this experience was much better then last time. I was actually able to taste my food this time around.

[chic604]

Whoa, in the up and up and running your own thing now huh? I'll try and gather up the crew and come down one night. I'm sure they'd be excited to and happy to see you again...it's been too long. BTW, it's Brit from DT. ;) I think of you and I think of good ol' "Rusty"!

[Ronin]

I did a short write up on Ebisu on my blog.

http://www.ededition.com/dinner-at-ebisu/

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

So i visisted Ebisu tonight AGAIN with my gf.

heh staff was friendly and excellent with the service, food was served right after i ordered, and it was hot.

OVerall i was pleased.. as always

ME and my gf ordered 9 items and 2 drinks.


I think there are couple little things that brought my attention?

I realize tonight the grilled cheese scallop was on a very light to nearly no taste, perhaps i couldnt taste the saltyness despite the continous fire but no biggie things got worked out at the end? *I think there was more taste the last time i came? i can taste the cheese and the fresheness of the scallop but didnt tasted any salt, as well as the clam chowder had no taste as if there werent any salt in it?


TIger mayo shirmp tasted very fresh, except i noticed perhaps the dipping sauce could have been more saltier?


just my 2 cents, otherwise hell i will still continue be going back and bringing more friends.


Cheers


Kevin

[Obsideon]

rb - Haha usually the tables are not arranged like that so the TV should be normal. I had to drag tables across the restaurant to set you guys up which was why some of you were so close hehe!

Mugen - Ah so not enough salt ... point noted ;) I'll get that fixed asap!

Nice blog Ronin, more pics! Hehe

chic604 - ZOMG BRIT! Out of the blue! Haha come soon haven't seen you guys in forever!

Trey - Haha sorry for taking so long to get you guys a bigger table man :\

[Kagemusha]

Was there last night, don't know if you remember...we were the last group to come in around 11:00pm...3 guys, 2 girls.

Food was good, but I have one suggestion....Provide green tea like the other restaurants do. That was our only complaint. But again, the food was quite food.

Oh and btw, I had no idea one of my friends worked there on the weekends :D

[Obsideon]

Hm .. I think I remember, not too sure though, should have told me who you guys were!

In terms of green tea I thought about that for quite a while but we are not a traditional everyday japanese restaurant. We're trying to push to be a bit more westernized. Earls/Moxie's/Cactus doesn't give out free tea, but we DO stock it at the bar. Oolong tea or the more high-end Green tea. They go for like 2 something a pot and you can refill it too so I don't think it's a big problem. We have a HUGE selection of any other drinks, many non-alcoholic and cheap, cheap beer and sake, who needs tea?! :evil

Oooh who's your friend that works here?

[Kagemusha]

^

Her name rhymes with Earl..lol :P

[Kagemusha]

Oh and dont mind us..we're 30 something (almost) old people so that's why we wanted free tea :P :D

[AsianBabe8]

-^__^-
Wow, your own establishment.
Gotta drag my bf there when he's in town.

[iPee]

haha thanks for the party last night man
that was some crazy shit

sorry about the mess lol

[iPee]

deon do you know how much the bill came up to

[Obsideon]

Dori: LOL HAHAHAHA did you have fun?! OMG you were so wasted hahaha kinda like me 2 weeks ago, actually I think you were way worse! I think the Flaming Lambo got you beyond DONE! :evil (If you even remember that)

Megan told me that you didn't even eat any of the food cuz you were so busy drinking! Shouldn't go on an empty stomache man! Haha did you get all those marks that they drew all over your face off yet? Take care!

Homer: Ah 'her', popular girl haha! Next time ask for me I wanna drop by and meet you guys!

[Meowjin]

The secret to this place is the cheap alcohol... screw green tea! Though it does help the digestion process with its thermogenic properties.

[iPee]

freakn everytime i wanted to grab a bite someone would drag me off to go have a drink

[Obsideon]

This may be a bit late, but to update you guys, we're offering a Valentine's Dinner menu on that 1 special day only!

[Ducky]

Another long night at ebisu.

[mako]

finally got to try this place out Friday night (it was packed!)

met Deon ... cool guy

food was excellent.
had the terriyaki steak, thunder fries and the tuna tacos

i will definitely be back again and to pick up my VIP card :D

[TreyDoja]

Again, thanks for accomodating our party, and even extending it(yesterday). Hopefully we didn't cause you any trouble.

Thanks again.

[Meowjin]

lol 30 more pounds till i can eat here again :P

[7seven]

Was there on Saturday with the gogo dancers, thx for finding us a table Deon, u looked pretty tight for tables that night. The ladies loved the food, they don't have anything like that in Arizona. I was also pleasantly surprised to see the Nucks game on, do you guys also show UFC ppvs?

[Obsideon]

7seven: Haha thanks for coming down again yeah I heard those girls were from the states that's cool man you lucky dude!

Yeah we show all the Canucks games, PPV or regular, sometimes we show PPV fights, depends on if there is a Nucks game on, last time there was half the place wanting to watch UFC 67 while the other half wanted to watch the Nucks game, that was crazy haha!

Trey: Nah man always welcome to see you, no problems hooking you up!

[Derek_N84]

are you guys open for lunch yet ?

i had a craving for the tuna tacos the other day but it was in the middle of the day ...:(

[Obsideon]

Sorry not yet .. no time! Haha hopefully by early Spring we'll do lunch.

But we open at 5 everyday so wait out a few hours! :p

[ExcelPremium]

Thanks Deon! for another wonderful night of good food =)

[7seven]

Deon, thx for the last minute reservations, some of the girls I know will be having a girls only bday dinner Sat, they left everything to the last minute, so I told them to check ur place out. Thx for squeezing in a table of 15.

Wow, how ironic. I'll be there that night.. w00t w00t

[chic604]

Whoo, was there yesterday and it was fan-tab-u-lous!
The Unichee (sp?) and Tuna Tacos were amazing:clap:

Deon, not sure if you'll see this, but thanks so much again. We had a great time, but probably had more fun catching up with you (I think we all figured it's been about 7 yrs...we're old!). The birthday cakes at the end were great! We'll see you soon! :)

[evilrose]

i was there friday night. food and atmosphere were great. but what i didn't like was the lack of service. drinks took a little while to come. and we were waiting around for a waitress for about 15 minutes so we could get the bill but no one showed up. my bf had to go to the bar and find someone there to get us the bill

[grock]

finished up some drinks at hapa on thursday night a couple weeks ago and dropped by this place to check it out but it was dead...didnt even walk in the front door.

when is it busy?

[Obsideon]

evilrose: Yeah it's been pretty bad the last couple of weekends, the place was completely packed with easily 180+ people and I couldn't muster up enough servers for the weekend, hard to find good help these days :( Only had 5 running around, that's almost 40 customers per server. I was running around like crazy too! I hired a few more waitresses this week and will hopefully be prepped and trained for the next weekend! Sorry 'bout that I hope I can have this issue rectified ASAP.

grock: Since we're still fairly new and I haven't done ANY advertisement (no flyers, no promos, no newspapers, nothing). I've relied on word-of-mouth to get the people in. So therefore the weekdays are still quite slow. I'm guessing it's because we are not nearly as famous as Hapa. Who's been established for many many years but I hope I can reach those heights soon since I've only been open for 2 months. The customer feedback I've got so far is that we are easily comparable if not even better than them, just that they are more busy which = better atmosphere on the weekdays, some people feel awkward chillin' in a quiet area so I totally understand. It's just that they are much more well-known so people just incentively head to Hapa for this type of dining rather than Ebisu. (for now haha)
On the flip side I highly recommend that you book a table for the weekends as we quickly pile up and every weekend we turn away throngs of people because we have no room left at all and the wait time would probably be at least 30min-1hour+ ... in the future I might consider making the weekends no-reso's but that's just an idea heh.

[azncreationz]

We were there again on Friday night, perfect place to chill out, have some food and drinks. My friends loved the fresh oysters. I have a suggestion though, we ordered the hot sake, and then asked for a bowl or plate of hot water (to keep the sake warm)...I guess kind of like how you keep your martini's cold by using another glass filled with ice....but she didn't understand us and instead brought us four glasses of hot water. Oh well.
Oh, we couldn't finish our bottle of plum wine as well...so, uh, we took it home. If you're missing a bottle, it's in my fridge. :-)

[Chicken Balls]

The place is great and all, but the only thing i was dissapointed in was the last time i went, there was nothing on tap at all :(

[Obsideon]

azncreationz: Haha did you ask one of those Japanese girls? Sometimes their english is not the greatest so they misunderstand.. but at least they brought you something rather than ignoring you haha. No that's not a problem, it's safe by law to take home unfinished bottles now as long as the cap is back on and you need to put it in the car where you can not access it while driving, so the trunk would be safest if you don't want to get in trouble. ;)

Chicken Balls: Haha sorry must have been couple weeks ago where I underestimated the weekend and the guys totally drank us dry! Then I couldn't order any until Monday, and they delivered it on Tuesday :( .. but since then it has never happened again. I keep extra, extra, extra stock now!

PS. I have many, many umbrellas (like 15) that customers forgot in the umbrella rack near the front door, come back and reclaim them haha! Drunkasses!

[superstylin]

hey deon! awesome food once again.. dropped by the other day to have a semi-bday dinner with the gal. the snow crab motoyaki is the best thing on the menu haha. hopefully u are gonna be showing ufc on saturday? @@ might bring a group down to watch it.

[Ducky]

yawn i will be there again this saturday, but for a bday.

[Ch28]

Check your PM Deon! :)

[SpuGen]

I love going to Ebsiu every week for a good weekend dinner. I see more and more hot waitresses there every week haha.

Last night was packed! Too bad I was with some random girl, otherwise I would've had some drunken fun hittin on the waitresses :D

It was good to finally meet you Deon, we'll be there again next week for sure!
btw this is David

[popnGEAR]

tried your restaurant last week...my gf and i both loved it. she said the beef sashimi was the best she's ever had.

[Ducky]

Umm No!! Get your facts right young grasshopper. She was the hold holding me, and it was to comfort me after you forgot to say bye to me the 3rd time . :2finger:
