Yesterday, we had an advance wedding reception tasting at Tokio Pub, an LEYE establishment that I believe shares a part of a kitchen with Shaw's, which is adjacent.
Traditional Japanese fare it is not. Between appetizers, salads, soups & entrees, we sampled maybe 25 items. A couple of meh's, many good, with these standouts: ramen burger--great ground beef with pan-fried ramen as the bun. It's a signature dish of theirs and excellent. Mango avocado salad, with a lemony viniagrette. Chicken fingers--pounded cutlets with a agedashi breading, served with a citrus-based aioli. Maybe the best entree was tenderly-broiled miso salmon atop perfectly-steamed broccolini and shiitake mushroom.
And the Lucky Cat cocktail, which is a not-in-your-face old fashioned, again with a little citrus, agave nectar & simple syrup to offset the whiskey. As father of the bride, I'll be hitting a couple of those at the reception!
