So where do you do when Sierra Gold's kitchen is closed for no reason? Obviously Kyara cause Japanese tapas area perfect substitute... Ok yeah we went cause it was right next door and open at 12am.
Usually I am not a big fan of tapas restaurants... All to often 'tapas' turns out to be a restaurant's excuse to offer up small portions of food at full price, and while Kyara wasn't exactly an exception to this, it was definitely worth it.
Kyara is a pretty good alternative to the long wait times at Ichiza or if you can't get a table at Raku. The restaurant is kinda like a Japanese Firefly and so far without the Salmonella poisoning which is a definite plus! Some of the dishes worth checking out: are the mochi bacon skewers, cheesy tomato potato, and the pork skewers.
The food was great but a little over-priced. At about $4 per skewer and $8 for a larger dish you can easily drop $30 bucks here and still be able to eat more, but then again, I don't think you get these dishes anywhere else in town.
The service was kinda of slow but the servers were so polite it almost made up for it. Yes I am being generous with the 4 stars but they get props for offering a yelp check-in offer! Vanilla ice cream with green tea paste yummm.
