Entrance - Hanaichi QV
Rising from the ashes of Wagamama QV comes Hanaichi, a Japanese-style fast food outlet in the prime location of QV Square, hangout for Asian students and office workers. My first impression was of shock when I saw disposable paper and plastic bowls for the 2 serving sizes, regular and large, respectively. All I could think of was food court food in shop. It was self-service too. Being hungry, I pressed ahead and placed my order for a simple bowl of ramen. How wrong could that be? Well... it wasn't very right either. It looked the part with 2 very lean slices of pork and a leaf of seaweed, but the soup was mostly salty and not much flavour otherwise. I couldn't tell if it was pork or chicken soup. At least the service was prompt and friendly. Here's the blurb from QV.com.au: With melt in your mouth dishes like Tempura Udon, Beef Yakiniku, Miso Katsu-Don and Chicken Teriyaki-Don, Hanaichi is sure to please! Looks like a Queensland-based chain! www.hanaichi.com.au/
