RESTAURANT REVIEW: Yogur Story!

RESTAURANT REVIEW: YOGUR STORY

When I first heard of Yogur story, I was honestly confused. Were they just one of the hundreds of Yogurt shops that had been popping up everywhere? Or maybe they were a yogurt shop that doubled as a small town library? Why did they call themselves Yogur, without the "T"? Did they even serve Yogurt? And what in the world was a"Yogur?" An animal? A fish? Or maybe an alter-ego superhero in an upcoming movie? A spore? Possibly the name of my new ex-wife?

When I asked our waitress these questions, she just stared at me and said, "The name of your ex-wife name is Judy and she will take all your money. Now here are the specials of the day..."

"That's funny, I don't know any Judy's...yet.."

Yogur Story is a modern cafe/dine-in restaurant whose food quality matches its decor; tastefully done and creative.

For the night, I had some type of fish dish called the "Ahi Dragon." My former elementary school classmate, and sidekick for the night, had the Chicken pasta. Both dishes passed the grade as far as quality. And for service, what can I say. The gypsy/waitress was very prompt, courteous, and predicted my future ex-wife, so I owed her some type of big tip right? An interesting menu item that caught my eye was their prime rib locomoco, which consisted of a slice of prime rib on rice, with two sunny-side eggs, and smothered with brown gravy. That's intense...

Chick Pasta. The chicken is in there somewhere

Yogur story is primarily known for their waffles. Unfortunately, I was just too full to taste any dessert. I predict that their dessert should be pretty good. After all, they cooked my fish dish perfectly, and that's much harder to do than cooking waffles.

Yogur story is located on 815 Keeaumoku Street, which is near the Ala Moana Shopping center. And yes, they also serve Yogurt. Prices range from $12 to $17 per dish, which is not bad at all.
