Wonderful Yamoto or Fuzzy Chicken Slippers

There are many places where the food is good, other places where the food is great even more places where the food is blah, but it's rare that you can find a place where the food is... comforting. The kind of food that wraps you in its arm and make you feel safe and warm and happy. I would say almost like when you are still an unborn baby in your mother's uterus but, first, I don't remember the feeling and second well uterus and food shouldn't really be mentionned in the same paragraph (oups my bad) Anyway, I do tend to digress but I never stray away from what's important, THE FOOD.
The place where I (by I i mean we, but for expediary reasons it is I, plus I do like thinking I am responsible for finding such a gem. Of course it totally wasn't me, but you don't need to knwo that) found such marvel was Yamoto Japanese restaurant in Yorkville. Usually we would order sushi à la carte but as we weren't feeling so well, we kind of craved something homier. I ordered Katsu-don Don-buri, for those who don't know japanese it means, in my words of course, breaded meat on omelette over rice. ALso known as flavourful yummies. Not only was it exactly what I wanted but it was more then that. It was like coming home at night after a hard day at work, taking a bubble bath and then wrapping yourslef in your blankie (the ones we say kids carry around, but let's face it, alot of us adults have one too) slowly sipping either a nice glass of wine or a large cup of honey green tea.
As you all figured out by now, I am somewhat gluttonous and I like to try everything that finds itself on the table. Fortunately for me, the handsome man that was seating in front of me had ordered something that added the big fuzzy chicken slippers to the previous visual. He had in front of him something called Tempura Udon, desbribed (by me and him) as a broth with a taste that is similar to what ocean water would taste like was it unspoiled and boiled (warm and wonderfully seafood-y) add to that thick noodles and shrimp tempura and you get.. well you get something that makes you smile and love life despite your runny nose and sore throat. (Not an easy feat).
So, I will conclude this by saying, if you like comfortable, comforting wonderfully tasty food, try Yamoto, I guarantee you, you will come out with a smile and who knows, maybe with fuzzy chicken slippers!
