Starting with the Salads, the Grilled Eggplant Salad is a standout, with its smoky, charred eggplant perfectly complemented by a zesty dressing. It's a harmonious balance of flavors, with just the right amount of tang. If you're looking for something lighter, the House Salad delivers freshness in every bite, with crisp greens and a subtle vinaigrette that lets the vegetables shine.
When it comes to Soups, Garlic Yuzu doesn’t disappoint. The Shishito Pepper Soup is a warming bowl of umami, with the peppers adding a gentle heat that lingers just long enough to keep you intrigued. For a more hearty experience, the Japanese Onion Soup is a must-try, with its rich, savory broth and tender onions that melt in your mouth.
The Cold Appetizers at Garlic Yuzu offer a refreshing start to your meal. The Kanpachi Serrano features delicate, fresh fish paired with the sharp heat of Serrano peppers, making it a thrilling bite. Similarly, the Ocean Trout with Strawberry Salsa combines sweetness and freshness in a unique, flavorful pairing that’s both unexpected and delightful.
For something more indulgent, the Hot Appetizers are where Garlic Yuzu truly shines. The Gigantic Shrimp Tempura is crispy perfection, with plump shrimp encased in a light, airy batter. If you’re craving something with a bit more spice, the Cajun Karage offers a crispy, juicy bite with a tantalizing kick of Cajun seasoning.
To wash it all down, there are Soft Drinks and Bottled Water, giving you the perfect balance of refreshment to complement these flavorful dishes. Whether you're here for a light bite or a full meal, Garlic Yuzu’s menu is packed with options that will satisfy every craving.
