I’ve said it before, but it’s always true, everytime I have a meal at hayato I feel transported back to japan. This bento box was even better than I remembered, definitely more seasoned and flavorful and the dashi was more present. Chef go has each component perfectly dialed in. The quality, execution, amount of work, and thoughtfulness of this bento box makes it the best in the city, it’s not even close. And at 52 dollars+tt, the qpr is so high, it’s a steal.
Highlights, everything. More specifically, the wild mexican white shrimp shinjo, grilled hokkaido scallop, black cod saikyo yaki, snow crab claw sunomono, datemaki tamago, shiitake nimono, snow crab tofu, satsuma sweet potato, agedashi eggplant, koshihikari rice.
And my mostest favorite highlight, the wild mexican white shrimp shinjo, this was insanely good and reminded me of a fried har gow with super fresh pieces of shrimp @moonboy403
