Whenever I’m in the Irvine area I like to eat at the places I used to frequent back in my UCI days.

Last weekend the family and I decided to go to the beach so we stopped into Kohryu for dinner.  I always thought Kohryu was unique because, besides the typical Japanese food like Ramen, they serve Chinese food with a Japanese twist.  I always order their Chinese food because although their ramen is decent, I’d rather go somewhere better like Santouka or Daikokuya.

The food is not spectacular, but it’s good.

We started off with their homemade gyoza and beer combo. This combination is my newest obsession.
