Center Grill — Restaurant in Yokohama

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Central Grill in Yokohama, and I must say it was an exceptional culinary experience. From the moment we entered the restaurant, we were greeted with genuine warmth and a friendly smile.

The menu at Central Grill offers a delightful variety of dishes that cater to different tastes. One particular standout dish that left me craving for more was the Napoleon Pasta. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish was absolutely divine. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the rich, creamy sauce beautifully complemented the tender meat and fresh vegetables. Another must-try dish is their Omelette Rice with Fried Chicken. The fluffy omelette enveloping the flavorful rice and crispy fried chicken created a delightful harmony of flavors that had me savoring each and every bite.

What impressed me the most was the manager's warm and friendly demeanor. Their genuine enthusiasm for the food and the customers was evident as they took the time to ensure that every guest felt welcomed and well taken care of. Their passion for delivering an excellent dining experience truly added a personal touch to our visit.

It's important to note that Central Grill operates on a cash-only basis and prefers not to accept advanced bookings. If you do wish to make a reservation, please be mindful of their policy and honor your commitment to avoid any no-shows. This allows the restaurant to manage their seating arrangements efficiently and provide the utmost care to all guests.

Overall, I highly recommend Central Grill to anyone seeking a delightful dining experience in Yokohama. The genuine hospitality, delectable food, and friendly atmosphere make it a standout restaurant. Many thanks to the manager and the entire staff for creating such a memorable dining experience. I eagerly anticipate my next visit to Central Grill!

Center Grill is a long established Western-Japanese style restaurant. This place has been open since 1946, truly a valuable gem in the heart of Yokohama.

Of course, this restaurant normally packed with local people and some tourist. So be prepare to queue if you arrive during lunch time. I got there about 20 minutes before the door's opened but there were few people ahead of me already.

I had to try their famous Spaghetti Napolitan. This specialty dish consists of thick spaghetti stir-fried with mushrooms, onions, green peppers, sliced ham and seasoned with tomato ketchup sauce. When I say ketchup, please forget about those typical sharp-sour taste ketchup. It's completely different in every way. From my first bite to last, I can taste a deep, rich, sweet tomato flavor that tasted like homemade savory tomato sauce. The thick noodles are pleasantly firm and absorb the sauce perfectly.

In my opinion, this nostalgic Napolitan is a solid contender for one of the best comfort foods in the world. Not to exaggerate but it was THAT good.

Other dishes like Oyster gratin (seasonal), pork cutlets and omelette rice were...

A quest for omurice in Yokohama

The omurice was delicious, the portion was huge and we left the place with full stomachs and...
