Gyo-o restaurant

This is another restaurant from the gyoza king chain. located at continental centre in Richmond, this cozy restaurant was surprizngly full for a weekday night. Unlike a few of the other restaurants from the same chain, they have a much longer menu encompassing all japaneese food styles, from oden, to ramen, sushi, gyoza, don, udon and sushi. The wall decor and paintings gave the restaurant a vibrant yet welcoming feel.

We ordered a clam ramen, gyoza and a squid and fish egg rice. The plum sauce on the gyoza gave it more depth although the gyoza skin was a little thicker than the one at gyoza king. The ramen uses small clams to give the broth a light and fresh flavor. Their rice bowls are very large. The mayo sweetness and the saltiness of the fish eggs complements each other. Good value given its price.

What I liked : good location, nice decor, nice selection of rice dishes.

What I did not like: the menu was a little too big, sacrificing quality for quantity. The gyoza was not up to the gyoza king standard.
