🇬🇧 York | A New Japanese Restaurant That Surprised Me!
York has a new hidden gem in the world of Japanese cuisine! PEKO PEKO opened its doors on April 7th! 🎉 📍 Address: 76 Goodramgate, York YO1 7LF. It’s less than a 1-minute walk from The Shambles, making it a prime spot in the city center. After your meal, you can easily wander around the shops. Plus, it transforms into a cozy little bar at night—talk about a versatile spot! 🌟 The interior of PEKO PEKO is a minimalist Japanese style with a touch of modern simplicity. The anime posters on the walls add a fun and atmospheric vibe. The staff are incredibly friendly and will happily explain each dish in detail, making it perfect for a gathering with friends or for those looking to capture some great photos! 📸 Must-Try Dishes: - Salmon Fried Rice - Eel Fried Rice - Volcano Ramen - Bullish Udon - Salmon Avocado Salad - Flaming Mountain Waterfall Salmon - Cheese Waterfall Beef Patty Curry Omelette Rice I tried the Beef Patty and Omelette Rice! The portion size was HUGE !!! 🥢 The dish comes topped with a raw egg, accompanied by a beef patty, cheese, mashed potatoes, and curry sauce. The combination of textures is simply amazing! 🍖 I have to give a special shoutout to the rice! 🍙 We all know that rice in the UK can be... well, let’s just say it’s not always great. But this rice was on another level—almost like being back home! The beef patty with cheese was incredibly flavorful, and the curry sauce added a perfect touch. Paired with a little drink, it was pure bliss! 😋 I thought I had a pretty big appetite, but I couldn’t finish it all! The portions are seriously generous. The average spend is around £15-25, which is an absolute steal for the quality and quantity, especially in this prime York location! 💰 #UK #York #RestaurantReview #JapaneseCuisine #Foodie #AtmosphereVibes #JapaneseFood #Sushi #UKFood
