Alright, heres news. Most of you have probably walked 17th ave, and probably seen Kyoto 17 tucked away in the basement of that place on 9th. I decided it would be sweet to finally go check it out and I wasn't disappointed over all.
We started off with some egg drop soup, which was really good. The litle pieces of sweet corn really work with the broth and the large soft pieces of egg white. Made for a very nice soup.
We were then serve our tempura. Cooked just right, cucumber was still a little crunchy which is nice and the shrimp just slipped out of the tails. The
udon noodles where thick and neither slimy or undercooked. The broth left a little to be desired, but still very good.
And of course, the sushi. I have found a second place where I will eat the tamago! It was very nice, thin, but not over sweet and went very well with the soya. The guy was good, but a little tough. The Hokkaiki was very nice and the masugo literally melted in the mouth. I starting to lean towards the masugo more so then the toro. I was disappointed by both the inari and the shitake though. The inari was really leaky, tons of oil, and the shittake was way to sweet.
A special shout out goes to the beautiful cuts of salmon that they had! what a beautiful nice and faty piece of salmon *drool*
Lastly... pink ginger... oh well, what can you do!
All in all I liked this place. The atmosphere was nice and the service was amazing. The lighting was a little dim but thats ok if your on a date. The prices where a little all over the place, cheap items where cheapers than other places and the expensive items where more expensive than other places. The meals where well prices and had very nice portions. Goo dlocation, interesting set up, I will give this place a 8/10, points being docked this time for lack of wasabi on pieces, and some general discrepancies.
Till next time! Mata Ne
