Branches of the Garces restaurants Amada and Distrito opened June 28th at Ocean Resort Casino (the former Revel) also in Atlantic City, so it looks like Garces’ culinary influence will continue.

Jose Garces filed bankruptcy and sold his restaurant group, but it looks like he will remain as an employee of the new company after it is finalized. I would make sure to go earlier next time, so if I wanted to talk with my companions for the entire evening, I could. The service is excellent at Okatshe, which makes it a great place to order as many dishes as your party can handle.Īt 10pm, a DJ started blaring music, which I thought was a bit odd.

Any way you want to describe it, the dish is fun and delicious. The fish is bonito flakes, which are thin shavings of preserved fish that start to wriggle around from the hot steam rising from a hot plate. I mistakenly thought that Kewpie was fish but it is Japanese mayonnaise, made with rice vinegar and egg yolks. The menu lists that Okonomayaki Fries are made with Kewpie, Scallions and Jalapeño. Okonomayaki Fries – Kewpie, Scallions and Jalapeño The name is derived from the word “okonomi” meaning “how you like” or “what you like” and yaki, meaning “grill.” T told us that it’s something that is made with whatever the kitchen has. Okonomiyaki is spelled incorrectly (as Okonomayaki) on the menu at Okatshe, which might be the reason I couldn’t Google it for the first article.
