This may be the best Japanese restaruant in Adelaide. I have spent a significant amount of time in Japan and tasted traditional Japanese cuisine. Gyoza gyoza is as good as it gets. In addition the staff are super friendly and mostly of Japanese origin which just adds to the experience. The drinks menu is huge! With many Japanese sake and whisky to taste as well as 1litre jug options of beer cider mocktail and cocktails. My favourite place in Adelaide, highly recommend.
Gyoza Gyoza is based on a Japanese Izakaya bar which is not too dissimilar to a Spanish Tapas and Cerveza bar. Both places have small portions of inexpensive food to be eaten with what may end up being copious amounts of alcohol. I don't drink alcohol so a Coke was fine with me, the other half of course does but we were here for the food. If you are looking for a meal where you eat an entree, main and dessert, then you walked into the wrong place. While you're here, sit down, order a drink and some food. You won't be disappointed.
We started with Tilapia Sashimi. I'd never had Tilapia before, my friends in America have told me about Tilapia but I've never tried it. As soon as I saw Tilapia sashimi, I had to have it. It was divine. The Tilapia itself was fresh and the flavour delicate. When married with a little wasabi and dipping sauce, it was sensational. Under the Tilapia was grated daikon radish which lifted the flavour and changed it once more.
Abalone Salad with fried wontons skins, now that was beyond sensational. The abalone alone was superb. When the abalone and fried wanton were introduced to my taste buds, they did a little dance and I swear I heard a sigh from them.
Okonomiyaki is seriously delicious. The gyoza, bite sized pieces of heaven.
Tori No Karaage is what I call Japanese KFC but crunchier. Kids love karaage.
I need to mention the staff last night were brilliant. We were very well looked after. Thank you Lok for making me feel welcome while waiting for my husband.
The food is amazing. Fantastic menu options. Great cocktail selection. And the place looks warm and inviting. Highly recommended.
