I have been craving about this Japanese Restaurant A LOT and I guess it's no longer a secret that you guys know how much I LOVE All About Japanese Restaurant! Point of this blog post is to let you guys know that two different concept about Japanese Restaurant where now everyone is hunting about it. YAAAAY finally i can share about my point of views on these two concepts, Ootoya and Gyu-Kaku Prime.
A little background to Japanese food, i am quite selective. Ootoya in One Pasific Place has opened for quite some time already, but i only managed to try it recently and gotta give my opinion of approval for the food. First opened in Indonesia around 2000 then followed by the expansion 2 more store all over Indonesia! They're also in the Japan and at the moment (and by the time this post is published), 250 is the amount of restaurants they have all over the world.
KATSUTOJIDON - IDR 77.000
As the name suggests, Katsutojidon offers authentic Japanese ricebowl as their special menu. In case you don’t know, "don" in Katsutojidon word means heavy food with a mixture of rice with Japanese-flavored meat served in regular sized bowl portion, usually combined with some additional herbs, namely seaweed, salad and miso soup as an optional menu that can be mixed or not.
Aburi Salmon Roll Sushi - IDR 79.000
Each Japanese Restaurant has their own sushi recipe. The Aburi Salmon Roll consists of 6 pieces, it’s some kind of magic sushi, very smooth and delicious in the mouth.
There's difference from Japanese Restaurant Concept: Ootoya and wise to basically everything, there are still 3 options for the Japanese Menu here: Salmon Sushi Roll, Some Don Menu, and any kind of support menu. Believe me even the cheapest menu option here is GOOD and when you compare to Gyukaku Prime Plaza Indonesia, Gyu Kaku is very good choice! For the the support menu, I heard they're making process with high quality ingredients and super cool cooking tools (for me). Told a little about the service that I felt in Ootoya was different from Gyukaku Prime, but in the same time I feel don't need to worry with these two restaurants less in fat.
Ishiyaki Bibimbap - Small size IDR 88.000
The first experience to enjoy bibimbap in a Japanese restaurant was very interesting to me especially in how the employee presented an amazing sensation in stirring up the many ornaments in this bibimbap menu. Please note that the black bowl in the pictures above is specially made for bibimbap menu only. If you go there, you can order the small portion of Bibimbap for IDR 88k and 98k for the large. Bibimbap is a classic korean ricebowl combination between rice, chicken, egg and spices, it was cooked nicely with great savory taste in it.
Ohitashi - IDR 38.000
Their Japanese boiled spinach is well made, soft outside while very tasty inside, it becomes more perfect when added with the sprinkle bonito flakes on top.
Yasai Chijimi - IDR 58.000
Slice of pancake vegetables with drizzle Okonomiyaki sauce and mayonnaise very enjoyable when enjoyed together with friends.
Chawan Mushi - IDR 48.000
A unique presentation that we have to say, it seems that the bibimbap menu reconstructed with beaten eggs with mushroom pieces on top makes chawan mushi a very delicious menu for me. Oh yeah, additional information price range for the AYCE which is packaged in a package here starts from IDR 1000K (for two persons) to 2000k+ (in the future price may vary).
Anyway I believe you guise know this comparison review is going to be all positive, but indeed they're very consistent with their quality and performance, even the service is very good (waiters have good product knowledge, they let us know the procedure and everything with such grace and patience), so I really have no other option than giving them positive review. JAPANESE COMBINATION RESTAURANT IN JAKARTA is definitely one of the most consistent restaurants in town at the very moment! Enjoy the remaining pictures!
