I went to Centennial Hills to visit a friend and she requested "something Asian" for our lunch...
Cue: Yoshiya, a 6 minute drive from my friend's condo
At my insistence, we ordered the octopus balls-- sorry, I forgot to take a photo, but they were beautifully presented, albeit very, very mushy. The chop stick workout was a lesson in fine motor skills and a gravitational balancing act for this one. I think I'll try the gyoza next time.
Although this is a Japanese restaurant, the menu is not your typical "sushi and grilled or tempura-based dishes". Yoshiya specializes in Japanese omelets, and so of course that is what myself and my adventuresome friend had to try.
We chose the sausage omelet. It had a distinctive Japanese-y name for the sausage, but it seriously tasted like hot dog, haha. And I have NOTHING wrong with hotdogs... I'm just saying. The sausage was mixed in with fried rice, topped with a swirly egg on top and then drizzled with umami brown and cream sauces around it. Yes, we split it and it was the perfect portion for both of us.
This was a warm, cozy choice for a gloomy, rainy day. The waitstaff were very kind, and it was all around enjoyable. I'm not certain I will crave this on the regular, but it is definitely a viable option when you want something comforting, light, and Japanese, but aren't in the mood for sushi!
