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.
