Japanese tapas
one of the best things about living in NYC is vast variety of wonderful food you can have delivered to your door. Menupages.com has made it easy to browse through tons of great places by neighborhood. we’ve posted many of our favorites in the past, and here’s another one… Yoshi, a Japanese restaurant on Houston and near Ludlow, has great delivery! we’re not big on having sushi delivered so we usually get a mixed bunch of small plates and call it Japanese Tapas!

here’s a favorite meal of some of the items that shine at Yoshi (going clockwise from the upper left corner)…
- goma-ae – steamed spinach in a rich sesame sauce
- shitake yakitori – shitake mushroom grilled on skewers in a flavorful teriyaki sauce
- fried gyoza – tasty homemade pork dumplings
- edamame – fresh steamed soy beans with sea salt
- miso soup – lots of nice chunks of tofu and seaweed
- spicy fried shrimp roll – 2 fresh jumbo shrimp, deep fried and rolled up with spicy mayo, lettuce and a bit of flying fish roe – great texture and so tasty (one of the best fried shrimp dishes around!)
- tatsuta-age – tangy crispy chicken chunks with fresh lemon on the side (simple and delicious)
