Late post Oct 23’ Domo Alley-Gato Tatsu-Ya – Located in East Austin Domo Alley-Gato Tatsu-Ya was only a 5 min walk from my cousins, with a lot of thought and deliberation they decided finally settled on this place. Arrived on a Sunday afternoon and to my surprise with football season it was a bit quiet, which was good because we were able to take our time looking over the menu. They are a mostly outside venue with limited inside seating and is very dog friendly! They also share the restroom with the ramen spot next door. The atmosphere was that of Japan (peep the pics), very beautiful! Everything (food and drinks) was reasonably priced... We mostly got small plates but if you are hungry get the ramen but only want apps as a meal I would suggest a bowl of Curry/Chashu with Karage/Goyza. The fam and I got; Curry, Chashu, Edamame, Spicy Edamame, Korokkaaayyy, Gyoza, Katsu Slider, Karage and Negi rice bowl. Curry – Nicely seasoned, no meat Chashu- Delish, basically a porkbelly type adobo Edamame/Spicy Edamame – Both very good but I would get the spicy, better flavor Korokkaayyy – Typical flavor Gyoza – Came out pipping hot, flavorful and juicy! Karage – Can taste the marinade, crispy and addicting Katsu Slider – Yummm but so small for $6 Negi Rice Bowl – OOOOoo this was a flavor bomb, surprisingly enjoyed this dish. Very savory! Shinku punch – Very flavorful and refreshing paired well with all the dishes!
