Two weeks ago we decided to pay another visit to one of our favorite restaurants in Syracuse, Komachi. Stopping by their Adams Street location, we were devastated to see it had closed.
Then a student of mine clued me in: it moved to University Hill’s business district. There is a God! We can eat at Komachi again! So we did, last night.
We simply shared three items, each one outstanding:
- Gyoza: deep fried pork dumplings, crispy on the outside, soft and so flavorful inside, served with a dipping sauce
- Crunchy spicy tuna roll: the combination of textures is half the fascination. The other half is the just-right heat level. Exciting.
- Yaki soba with beef. Soba is a buckwheat noodle and it tastes nothing at all like buckwheat pancakes! It stands up well to the dark, rich, soothing sauce and beef that covers it. Warm, flavorful, comforting.
This was just the right amount of food for us last night. Alas, they didn’t have the green tea ice cream that they used to serve downtown. Had we been hungrier, we would have gotten our usual: the Dynamite Box. Enough for two, it includes a large sake, soup and a variety of tasty tidbits. It used to include dessert, but it doesn’t appear on the current menu. No matter, it’s a great bargain in any case.
