The chef is quite talented judging from the limited things i got off of the specials and happy hour menu. Even Ray Charles can see why Christina and Arvin seem to be glued to this place.
My phone's been acting up so i couldnt really take picture or make notes of what i ordered so going off of memory as best as i can.
- Brussels Sprouts
Slowly but surely i'm starting to see these micro cabbages pop up at more and more places which isnt a bad thing if cooked properly. Does Yonaka Modern Japanese know how to prepare and serve brussels sprouts? You bet your sweet ass they do!
- something something oysters
eh...cant remember the name possibly due to the fact that it was written in romanized japanese. Fresh oysters and quite refreshing with the yuzu and pickled shallots
- Fresh Uni
I traded an oyster for a piece of Uni. I've had fresh like 10 minute ago the uni was in the ocean talking about pointy politics with it's other pointy uni friends before it was ripped from the ocean and thrown on the table just to be hacked open with a knife and hungry people going fingers deep to get it's buttery orange flesh. Anyway the shell is still suppose to move a bit even after you hack it open and all the ones that were served werent moving no more. They probably shocked it or read it parts of Twilight to get it to stop moving. Regardless...question is: Was it fresh? Answer: Yup!
- Seasonal Sorbets
Wow..i can not for the life of me remember anything else...i know there were others but for the life of me i cant remember wtf we ate...I was given 3 flavors: Passion Fruit, Granny Smith Apple, Blood Orange. I should have just got as much Passion Fruit as i could get my hands on without being charged extra because it was the best one in my opinion. Blood orange came second, It was either Yuhi or Anthony but i agree that Blood Oranges arent exactly something i like. Pretty sure it was Yuhi now. But yeah Blood oranges have this bitter sourness to it kinda like grapefruit. The sorbet did a great job adding some MUCH needed sweetness to this otherwise bitter and sour fruit. The granny smith did nothing for me. Thought it was too tart.
Eh....i'll write a better review next time. Not to self bring note pad next time.
