kome

I heard so much about this Japanese restaurant called kome in Austin. I finally got to go there today with my friend, Miyuki who is 39 weeks pregnant to have some lunch together. The restaurant was packed!

今日はうわさに聞いていたレストランkomeに友達の妊娠39週目のみゆきちゃんとランチを食べに行ってきました。レストランはめちゃくちゃ混んでた!

I realized they have many different teishoku in their lunch menu which is rare in Austin, so I decided to order Kaki fry teishoku (fried oyster lunch). I was excited to order it since last time I had fried oysters was in Japan!

komeのランチメニューはオースチンでは珍しく定食メニューが豊富。カキのフライ定食をオーダーしました。カキのフライなんて日本で食べたのが最後と感動。

We ordered Texas Surf and Turf Rolls to share. I was bit disappointed by their sushi rice because their sushi rice seemed to be too hard and dry.

komeのお寿司も食べてみたかったので巻物のテキサス サーフ & ターフ ロールをオーダした。巻物は酢飯が固くて期待はずれだった。

I think I would like to go back there for their lunch teishoku.

ランチ定食目的でまた来たいなぁと感じた。
