As I Live It
After working in the North Shore for over a decade, I’ve tried lunch menus at many different restaurants. Yohachi Sushi is one of my favourite lunch spots. They have a great lunch menu, service is always friendly and the quality of the food is excellent.
Let’s highlight four of my favourite dishes:
Chicken Karaage
These juicy morsels are boneless and tasty. Yohachi’s take on this dish includes a little bit of seasoning and black sesame seeds that take this dish up a notch.
Nabeyaki Udon
My “usual” and favourite lunch dish at Yohachi. The broth is so flavourful and the udon noodles are perfectly tender. I love dipping the tempura into the broth prior to devouring!
Grilled Fish Lunch
My other “usual” lunch dish. Two moist pieces of grilled mackerel with a bowl of rice, salad and three pieces of fresh sashimi. I love to press the fish into the rice, allowing the natural saltiness of the fish to seep into the rice.
Summer Ramen
A seasonal dish that I look forward to every summer. This dry ramen dish is served on top of a sweet soy sauce which is mixed with shrimp, and a julienne of egg, carrots, ham and seaweed. It’s an incredibly fresh and satisfying dish and I’m always sad when winter comes rolling around.
I highly recommend the lunch menu at Yohachi. I’ve never tried the dinner here but if it’s anything like the lunch experience, it’s well worth the visit.
