I appreciate Gyo-O’s \u00a0effort on offering unique dishes, although their style\u00a0inspiration is somewhat similar to their sister restaurant Gyoza King, one of the oldest Izakaya spots in Vancouver. The place could barely fit 20 customers, but somehow it seems bigger than it really is. I felt like being at an art gallery showroom under the\u00a0high ceiling, with\u00a0massive walls full of Japnese\u00a0elements such as symbols and drawings. I could recognize some of the symbols as\u00a0\u00a0Japanese characters describing their dishes, \u00a0which contributes tremendously to the funky ambiance.<\/p>\n

The dishes, despite\u00a0being quite humble and less visually pleasing compared to the ones\u00a0from other Japanese places, \u00a0were actually quite tasty. My Seafood Yukke Don,\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0acclaimed as the most popular dish on their menu, was delicious. Not as neatly cut and elegant as in the normal Chirashi Don, the seafood in the rice bowl\u00a0was\u00a0roughly chopped into little pieces, and the flavours were enhanced by a sweet\u00a0light soy sauce and a super delicate soft-boiled egg.<\/p>\n

My friends ordered different types of noodle dishes. While Shirley’s Seafood Salad Ramen<\/strong> was served cold, Jun’s Ebi Tempuar Bukkake Udon<\/strong> was similar to the idea of Tsukamen, which was served with the hot broth on the side. And Jac’s Clam Miso Butter Corn Ramen<\/strong> had some very unique flavour and texture combinations.<\/p>\n

But overall, I found them a little pricey for what they serve, and I would actually recommend Kita No Donburi<\/a> in Downtown for the similar style of Japanese food.<\/p>\n
