Yomeya Goemon at Star Vista


Yomenya Goemon (洋面屋五右卫门) at Star Vista is a Japanese restaurant serving Japanese-style western food.  The restaurant has been there since the opening of Star Vista, so it has been quite a number of years, but I only got to try it recently.

There is a display of the food they serve at the restaurant front, to entice the undecided diners to come in.   The place is not big, with a typical Japanese restaurant decoration, and tiny tables and chairs.  What is interesting is every table has this half-moon shaped tray, with your napkin and chopsticks on it.


I ordered the Hokkaido soup spaghetti.  It came like a piece of art.  The spaghetti was simmering in a thick, fragrant soup.  The color of the soup was snow white, just like the vast snow field in Hokkaido during winter.

Soup Hokkaido Spaghetti, $16.80++

Toppings of salmon, sausage, potato cubes, bacon and corn were scattered around on top.  The soup was very good, the fragrance came from alcohol, I guessed.  The spaghetti was not the hard in the core type, more fully cooked, but not until it lost its defined body-shape.

The portion was not very big, but sufficient to make your stomach feel contented.  Service was pretty good too.

Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I enjoyed it.
