It took a few visits, but once Kyara grew on me, it's become a favorite! Every time I eat here I try something new that I really enjoy. Which is more than I can say about that other place that starts with an "I." In-N-Out? Island Style? Anyways. Point is, it's rare to visit a place multiple times and discover a great dish during each visit. So what are the hits at Kyara?
Curry rice with Chicken Katsu (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/82YGtjc5KKikNiqBZ33qzw?select=87dospmcjfGzayBR-YnztQ): This is one of the lunch specials, and makes me wish I worked nearby! The curry has a great balance of heat and flavor, while the katsu is lightly breaded and not burnt at all. Highly recommended if you're in the area.
Garlic Chicken Ponzu (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/82YGtjc5KKikNiqBZ33qzw?select=80gTRDZO6f20tLoWDYQY7w): At $5.80, this is a great portion for a tapas place if you ask me. Garlic is delicious, ponzu is delicious, put them together and it's double delicious.
Aburi Shime Saba: Seared Mackerel with yuzu ponzu sauce. Mmm mmm good! You get a good serving of mackerel with this dish. It's also very lightly seared. Like maybe the chef prepared the dish within view of a flame; that lightly seared.
Tsukune: Ground Chicken and pork skewer. Tasty and freshly prepared. A bit crisp on the outside with a hot and juicy interior.
Service here has been consistently good, along with food quality. If you're headed to Kyara, be sure to invite me along!
