These mild East Asian peppers are about the size of a finger with an unusual sweet flavor.īut in truth, a Japanese restaurant is about raw fish… and the quality and freshness is a major factor. The shishito peppers look hot as fire but they aren’t. Try the Miso Gyoza dumplings as an appetizer. This restaurant is considered to be Japanese tapas, small plates of special concoctions meant for everyone to sample.

In fact many of the dishes are meant to share. It’s a real WOW moment.īut don’t panic, Japanese food does include dishes that are cooked! The new food rage sweeping the nation is Ramen, and I don’t mean the 25-cent packs of hard noodles that broke college kids eat. Definitely try Kata Robata’s Spicy Soy Ramen. The pasta is combined with braised ground pork, chili oil, soy milk, soft boiled egg, and green onions ($14). And while on the subject, the Texas Hamachi Roll is also astonishing-yellowtail, spicy tuna, fresh water eel, fried shrimp, yuzu juice, jalapeno, and sea salt ($17). Miso Gyoza-House made pork dumplings, kimchi powder, edamame, and shishito peppersįor some readers in Louisiana who consider raw fish “bait” or who might not know the Japanese names for certain fish, Hamachi (or yellowtail) refers to Amberjack, specifically Buri or Japanese Amberjack. I had to order one, and now it is my favorite thing of all time! I actually ordered two. Two weeks back we witnessed preparation of the Hamachi & Jalapeno Sashimi-thinly sliced yellowtail, sliced jalapenos, yuzu olive oil sauce, and absolutely one of the best dishes I’ve ever had ($14). So needless to say, start your order with a couple of hot sakes! There is another advantage to sitting at the bar: The waitresses are nice enough but often seem over-extended or perhaps inexperienced having the attention of a guy like Rudy insures that there is someone listening when another hot sake is needed. Last week he was slicing Daikon, a mild Japanese winter radish. Now, I am not big on watching food preparation, but when the products are so exotic it is fascinating. One day he perfectly prepared Japanese cucumbers using a mandolin. My husband had the shrimp and grits which were so creamy and tasty. For appetizers one of us had the turtle soup, the other the seafood gumbo. The potato salad was super creamy and flavorful. The end of the bar is where Rudy Vasquez is stationed he’s always cutting and prepping. The best deli sandwiches, and amazing service as well. From the food & drinks to the music, this brunch experience is inspired by and devoted to.
