Dinner @ Gaya

As you probably know, Gaya opened quite a while ago. Until today, I haven't had an opportunity to visit the Japanese Steak & Sushi restaurant. But I finally got there today. As with most teppanyaki places, it came with the usual. Our meal started with the typical mushroom soup followed by the ginger salad. We also ordered some sushi and edamame. My wife and I each ordered the steak and scallops. Two of my kids ordered the steak and the other one ordered the shrimp.

The sushi was very good. I ordered a couple of pieces of maguro (tuna) while the rest of the family enjoyed some California roll. The only problem was that they had the high sodium soy sauce at the table. I've grown accustomed to the low sodium variety. Surprisingly, it took a long time for the edamame to arrive.

Our chef did the typical show on. He lit the table on fire, he created the volcano which then turned into a train. He also did several other kid favorite tricks.

Overall, I thought that we had a very good meal at a decent price. It's probably as good as most of the other Japanese steak houses. I'd say give it a try.

I think Gaya better than average. The sushi is excellent. There is no place within 40 miles that can match the quality of the sushi. My family loves the show at the table. I think they are better than most in Jacksonville.
