Populus' Wagyu beef grain bowl is arguably one of their most popular dish. I'd this odd impression that the barley grains would be soggy and gooey, like the consequence of boiling barley to make barley water. It came as a pleasant surprise to taste fragrant and crunchy barley grains mixed with black pepper. It definitely reminded me of Pepper Lunch and felt a lot like eating rice.

The portion was quite generous, as it should be for the price that you're paying. The wagyu beef slices were slightly dry for my liking, but overall, this dish was great!

The also popular buckwheat pancakes was thick and dense. Not your conventional fluffy pancake. It's a tad too sweet for my liking and I can't say that I was amazed by this. My friend struggled to finish it.
