| - I just checked out Izakaya Go after seeing some great reviews on Yelp. I love Ichiza even though it gets a bad rep: totally understandable. I figure this new place would be modern, clean, and familiar.
I've gone through the yelp photos many times so I new exactly what I wanted.
I came Thursday night at 12:30am. It was EMPTY. I was so happy. We were greeted promptly and basically had the entire staff to ourselves. The seating is cute with butt cushions that I really liked lol
I recently cut out meat as much as possible so I had a pretty vegetarian friendly meal with a friend.
We got French fries, oysters, cucumber roll, crispy rice, agedashi tofu, mushroom porridge, and the uni custard.
I have to say our meal was delicious. We just wanted something light but left ridiculously full. Everything came out prompt, hot, the presentation was nice, and everything was cooked well. I enjoyed all of the above listed items. My one criticism is the dishes all seemed to be missing one little element that could make the food even better.
Maybe some fish eggs to top the uni custard? Maybe something crunchy to top the mushroom porridge? Maybe a house made aioli for the fries?
Although small in size, the oysters were probably my favorite dish. They were fresh and seasoned so well with lemon and ponzu.
I also really loved the uni custard. The texture was almost like silken tofu but it tasted so good! There was some shrimp in there and some other goodies.
I really Enjoyed my self as did my friend. We both left super full from for a total of $40. I can't wait to come back to get some more of the delicious oysters, super comforting mushroom porridge, and that special uni custard.
Maybe it's because we had the place to ourselves, maybe it was because our servers only waited on us, or maybe we just got lucky. I hope to try the sushi burritos and ramen burger soon.
The free hot tea was nice.
I hope they add more desserts to their menu.
