REDEMPTION POST HERE. I came back to Gyotaku after my recent disasterous visit and I can happily report that this visit was SO much better. Super good. And I got the right food! Also, my cousin treated me for my birthday so how can this meal go wrong?? FREE! Check it out!
Watermelon-ade | $8.50
refreshing watermelon juice served over ice & topped with mint & lime
Not good. Not awful but it just soounds much better than it tasted. Maybe the watermelon taste wasn’t as strong as I would have liked…
Pele Lava Roll | $17.95
california roll topped with spicy ahi tataki, green onion, volcano sauce & wasabi aioli sauce
Yummy appetizer to start! If you know me, you know I love spicy ahi. We ate too much at this meal but hey, it’s my birthday and I’ll eat if I want to, eat if I want to.
Miso Soup & Salad
I don’t have to explain this one right? This is their signature! Signature for a reason, love their salad and dressing.
Assorted Poke Don & Tenpura | $33.45
YESSSS!! I got the right dish this time and it was heavenly. I’ve been missing this dish for YEARS. I am so dang happy they brough it back. It’s a simple sesame oil salt seasoning for the poke but I feel like the different cuts of seafood just creates the perfect taste and texture profile. You know? Plain ahi poke is boring to me, but this dish just has almost any seafood you can imagine. I love it. And it’s not just random seafood they plop in, it’s consistently the same seafood each time when I order it.
Hit you with the last shot. So good. The limu and sprouts work well with it too. Man…I want to eat it again…
LOL, I like there as I mentioned before but while I was in Japan, my daughter and her husband took my mom for dinner there, My SIL said, that’s the old peoples restaurant! The nerve, yah?
I guess when you go early dinner, only get old people. LOLOL
Hahaha hey! Old people have solid taste ok! I been doing senior citizen dining since I was in my 20s lol
Count me in for old peoples dining! And you are STILL having birthday food. It IS your party so eat if you want to, eat if you want to, I would eat too if it happened to me!
you think this goes to show we are all old people because we catch the eat if you want to eat if you want to??? LOL
Hahaha no young kids would know that song for sure
Hahaha this was the last birthday meal I promise! And thank you for indulging me and singing along lol
glad it was good this time
Agree! Now I gotta drag Chan back with me.
