Gyo-O (Revisit)- Bukkake Udon and Oyster Milk Ramen!

Ever since G-Men closed down, Gyo-o has become my go-to place for ramen in Richmond. I love everything about this restaurant from the casual and cozy atmosphere, to their quality seafood. I have already written two posts on Gyo-o before (visit #1 and visit #2) so you can probably tell how often I revisit.

This time I came with Meta Knight and we ordered two items to share. The first dish was Tako Wasabi Bukkake Udon w/ Egg ($9.75) and it consists of udon (with no soup), seaweed, Tako Wasabi (raw octopus with wasabi), and a barely poached egg. You are suppose to break the egg apart and mix everything together!

It also comes with a sauce similar to soy sauce to wet your noodles and provide some flavour if needed.

I absolutely loveeee Tako Wasabi and Gyo-o’s raw octopus is always fresh every time I come.

After mixing, it kind of looks like this. The flavours are light and it is not especially filling, but it is very tasty.

Next, we shared the Oyster Milk Ramen ($14.95) and it looked very impressive upon arriving at our table.

There were two medium sized oysters which were great, but one more oyster would have made me a happier girl. :P The milk broth was very rich and flavourful but was quickly absorbed into the noodles. After a few minutes in, there was barely any broth left. I wish I could have asked for more broth because that is really what made the ramen so good!

Based on these reasons:

• Tako Wasabi is a must try item!
• great atmosphere
• very authentically Japanese 
• seafood is always fresh here!
