Family owned / family run, Yurihana is a neighborhood restaurant with polite, unpretentious service and excellent food made with fresh, delicious ingredients. The sushi lunch specials are hands down the best deal in Boulder County! I’ve been eating at Yurihana for about 20 years, and they’ve never disappointed me.
Had dinner here with a colleague. We ate in and since Gunbarrel is more of a quiet town in the evening, we were the only ones.
Several people came in for pick-up. That would be my usual choice too, but it was also nice to sit for a bit.
We ordered the lettuce wrap shrimp. The sauce was awesome and we ate it all. Forgot to get a pic before we chowed down :)
He ordered the Singapore Meinfun, which is a noodle dish with chick, shrimp, and a curry sauce. I had a taste and thought it was nice! Too much curry can upset my stomach, but this was mild and ever so slightly sweet.
My dish was the chicken stir fry noodles. It was not as saucy or salty as I prefer. I added about 2 teaspoons of soy sauce to get some more flavor into it. Compared to the shrimp app and the Singapore, this wasn’t the best.
We both agreed that the dinner portions were too big for one person, they’re more family style. Even still, we each ate the full amount—enough for 2-3 people—so, we must have been hungry!
Their green tea is lovely! You know how most green teas have a bitter aftertaste? Theirs has zero bitterness. The water is the right temperature and the leaves aren’t over-steeped. It’s excellent.
Feeling like a little adventure, we also got the green tea ice cream. Again, a huge portion we weren’t expecting! We couldn’t finish it, but it had nice flavor. Both he and I thought the garnish on top was unnecessary—chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and a cherry didn’t enhance the green tea note. The ice cream itself was refreshing and it’s fun to say we tried :)
