I have seen this restaurant Yataka opened recently and I have always wanted to try it out because it is one of the very few affordable rice don restaurant in Central. The restaurant is cozy with just a few tables at the dining area and the menu is also very simple with just a few sashimi don options priced from just $138, a very affordable price for Central eateries. For every don, it comes with a bowl of hot miso soup. Nothing's wrong with it as long as there is seaweed and a piece of clam. Yut
I have seen this restaurant Yataka opened recently and I have always wanted to try it out because it is one of the very few affordable rice don restaurant in Central. The restaurant is cozy with just a few tables at the dining area and the menu is also very simple with just a few sashimi don options priced from just $138, a very affordable price for Central eateries.
For every don, it comes with a bowl of hot miso soup. Nothing's wrong with it as long as there is seaweed and a piece of clam.
Yutaka mega rice bowl $168I have ordered something I would normally order which is a mix. The don is completed covered with different sashimi. The size is about a hand size. I have had bigger bowl but I have also seen smaller ones.
The don is completed covered with different sashimi including uni, crab roe, tamago, lobster, salmon roe, tuna, hamachi, shrimp.
They even emboss the name of the restaurant on the huge little piece of tamago. It's not as sweet as other tomago I have had before.
Every piece of fish looks fresh and shiny. Among them I do like their hamachi because it looks the freshest. I also liked their tuna which is shiny as well.
For their salmon roe, I always like to wrap them with a crispy seaweed which is a nice contrast with the gushing juicy eggs.
The least favourite of mine may have to go to the shrimp because it is smaller than I expected and I was expecting a stronger sweetness from it.
The rice they use is nicely seasoned with some vinegar and I like that it is not too sticky nor moist to my liking. Any sashimi is a nice match with the rice from the don. There aren't too much rice so I think the portion is good for girls. I like to dip my sashimi into some wasabi soya, but you are more than welcome to mix everything up together but that's just not my preferred way to enjoy don.
So, this place is everything I expected for the price. It's not easy to have a restaurant located at the heart of Central selling only Japanese sushi don. I wish this place all the best and hope that the rent wouldn't height too much in the future because that's definitely the main cause of the source and quality of the sashimi that the restaurant is importing.
