Soshinsen's US Pork Rack ($17.80 nett) is one of the 9 items on their slightly out of place western cooked foods section in the menu. Accompanied by a light but palatable potato salad (the artfully plated white cylinder in the back studded with cherry tomatoes is the potato salad), and sautéed cauliflower with an abundance of bacon bits, it certainly sticks out like a sore thumb on a menu dominated by sashimi.

The pork rack itself is superbly seasoned and cooked just right, and the unidentified sauce (best guess is that it's a cream & pesto sauce) it luxuriates in gives it richness and even more flavor. However, it's just inexplicably tough. It's not overcooked, but it somehow manages to be hard and a touch too dry.

They definitely need to tenderize it better, that's for sure. Their Angus Ribeye steak ($23.80) is infinitely better than the pork, so pass Peppa Pig and go straight for Connie the Cow.

It's an absolute shame though, the cauliflower was so soft and it tastes absolutely terrific, while the potato salad was quite addictive and light, and the sauce is spot on. There's just so much wasted potential here on this plate.
