Both???

That's weird.

Not really. They bake frozen pizzas and the waitress deivers them to your lane. ;)

Ah... Like the commercial says, "Just like delivered pizza."

That said, I think the frozen Freschetta pizzas are pretty good. :)

:rofl: Ah, going the Epicac route.

Nah, a finger down the throat is much more convenient. :beaten:

For lunch today, I had Mongolian BBQ. It's not BBQ, and more Inner Mongolian than Outer Mongolian, I understand.

But I didn't know that Genghis Khan invented soft-serve ice cream!

Curry House tonight with my Aunt and Uncle (couldn't convince them to go to a ramen place :().

I'm sure you can marshal one of your other peeps to go to Mottainai...hell if not just go there for lunch one day...weekday or weekend.

The few times I've been there I've gone solo. No biggie. Probably best...cuz then I don't drink. :beaten:

Just beiing real. The casual atmosphere of many of the Japanese restaurants that serve delicious food lends itself well to a gregariously good time if I end up going with certain people. :mrgreen:

@Beem- I love THai curry. Is it that kind? Hope you enjoy it.

@Tu- Im impressed with your virtuousness of only drinking in company.
Does that apply to beer too?
Ive been told they are jjust soda before. ;)

I'm not among the virtuous...:shakehead:

If I'm going to drink solo I'll usually park my a$$ at home, but I've sworn that off for the time being as well. Back to the gym 5 times a week after a hiatus that was far too long.

No more hunting around town for delicious eats for a while.

Tonight's Dinner - Pork chop, baby bok choy, and a little dijon mustard with basil.

Quick n' dirty but not too purdy.

Oh well, never really thought you were virtuous. ;)

And we had pork chops too for dinner.
Delicious.

Pork Eaters Unite! :victory:

Nope.

Japanese curry... The only kind of curry I'll eat.

Yeah, I'm a Japan snob. :ashamed:

As usual, I had the chicken curry pilaf... Tasty as always. :victory:

Also as usual, the service at the restaurant is mediocre: they never refill your glass unless you flag them down and ask. :shakehead:

Well that guy has blogged about ramen all over Japan too. So I guess in relation to some of the superb offerings he's had there it doesn't compare perhaps. Having said that I don't always follow his recommendations to the letter; however, it's worth a visit if he's blogged about it unless he's giving it a horrendously low score perhaps. For me Daikokuya stands out because of their kurobuta chashu which is still melt in your mouth tender but there are other ramen joints in L.A. which I think have caught up or passed Daikokuya in general.

I think back in the day though, LA WEEKLY's Jonathan Gold set that place of fire with a good review, which they undoubtedly earned. In any event, Daikokuya's success is largely responsible for the ramen boom in L.A. the last 5 years or so.

I was in L. A. late in the afternoon yesterday and because of the traffic we decided to stop in Little Tokyo for dinner. I normally don't eat ramen this often but we ended up at Daikokuya. We had the tonkotsu ramen and it was quite good. The kurobuta chashu, like you mentioned, melted in our mouths and the broth was tasty, too. It's a very small place but people kept coming in to eat. Another good recommendation! Thanks! :D

Daikokuya is always uber-busy: people are typically waiting outside to get in when the place opens. :sweat:

Our Japanese restaurants here dont even serve curry dishes.
At least I havent seen them on the menu. :sweat:

The same is pretty much true here as well... I can't recall a Japanese restaurant I've been to that has curry along with the regular Japanese fare...

So with my super-sleuthing skills I guess the Curry House specializes in curry. Is it multi-national?

Multinational?

I don't think so... Judge for yourself: http://www.house-foods.com/CurryHouse/Default.aspx :)

That's a shame! Can you buy the Japanese curry and make at home?
