Love it. Johnny Chu has a fantastic little spot here in cenpho. The food was fantastic, reasonably priced for small plates and the sake selection is THE BEST in town. You'll spend a pretty penny on the best sake but its well worth it to pair with some terrific eats.
Get the Yakitori shrimp with head on. Eat the heads, the shells everything. Food does not get any better than this. These delicious skewers are sweet and crunchy and you have to eat everything to get the full delicious flavor. Can't eat the head? What are you doing in an asian restaurant? Eat some Tofu then, Johnny has some great vegetarian options too.
Midway through our meal our server (terrific service!) offered some housemade lychee shochu shots. Thank you, they were fabulous!
Another favorite was the soup dumplings. These were so good I wanted another serving right away, but it'll have to wait for next time.
I think we ate about 10 plates here and every one of them was different, delicious and top notch in presentation, flavor and construction.
The final desert were two homemade jam filled fried empenadas...well, definitely not an empenada, but so delicious hot and sweet that they were the perfect end to a terrific meal.
Thanks Johnny, your place is a now favorite. I can't wait to go back!
