Dinner at Dohyo

Dohyo is an Asian tapas restaurant that serves pricey style dim sum. It is located at 570 10th Ave inside of  Yotel
White is the color of the restaurant and it certainly has a feel like dining in a cafeteria. The problem of the evening was the server was always missing in action, so most of the time, the food arrived at the table already cold.


Sake Sangria sangria, sake, fresh fruit
I didn't like it.

Spicy Tuna diver scallop, wasabi, cucumber, scallion
Tasted good, but I think it is hard to messed up this roll.

Grilled Asparagus/crispy poached eggs/xo sauce
My friend ordered this, because personally I never like to order grilled
 asparagus when I dine out. Grilled asparagus just doesn't interest me.
But, the crispy poached eggs was dainty. 
  

Shrimp Ceviche yuzu, melon, orange, cilantro, serrano chili
Recommended by the waiter, and I wish I didn't listen to him.
Very watery and shrimps are missing in action here.

Grilled Pork Spare Ribs hoisin plum sauce
Taste good, but in my opinion no different than the one you buy in Chinatown
except the price is three times higher.

Crispy Chicken Wings garlic, teriyaki, sambal
Definitely one of the best dishes of the evening, the meat is tender,
and the seasoning is flavorful. 

Steamed Crab Dumplings Alaskan crab, shrimp, yuzu-sriracha sauce
It's ok, and that's all I have to say.

Pork & Foie Gras Gyoza black vinegar plum sauce
I love Foie Gras, therefore this is my favorite.  

Pork Belly Bun achiote-hoisin, pineapple escabeche
The bun was cold when  served, so I disliked it immediately.
It's an updated version of  a roasted pork bun, and also overpriced.
Those two little buns cost around $9.00 

Crunchy Wok Fried Okra spicy ponzu
Surprised to see this on the menu, and it didn't disappoint me.
I only wish the server could have brought this to my table a little sooner.


Key Lime Pie
I hated it. There's no pie. It basically was key lime mousse on top of  pie crumbs. I had no idea how was I supposed to
spoon up the crumbs.
