Dayem, that's a big ass bowl! Hehe. I've never ordered the large because I always get a side of gyoza.

Did you friend like it?

I had the gyoza, too. :beaten:

He did.

Though we both had the large (and I had gyoza as well), we both didn't feel overwhelmingly full. :beaten:

Straight grubbin'. Ain't nothing wrong with that. I definitely would eat more if I went there with a friend. Most of the times I've been there I've gone solo for a quick lunch, but if I went there for dinner I know I would pig out because I would try some of the appetizers which aren't available for lunch, and I would probably throw back a few Asahi's which they have on draft not bottles...very rare for a ramen joint around these parts.

MEAT! :woot:

:applaud: Good stuff, man.

It was quite good, though I would've preferred the more traditional ponzu dipping sauce for the karaage as opposed to the El Rocoto-like pink-orange dipping sauce shown...

I'm totally with you on that. That fact that the chicken is already fried obviates the need for a heavier sauce. The crunchy batter works well with the thinner ponzu consistency.

And the citrus cuts through any greasiness the karaage might have. :victory:

I have to say the yakitori-ya you went to appears pretty generous with the portions. The amount of meat on each skewer is no joke. It mandates that you masticate many times with your mandible. ;)

I am missing something. What's the connection between nigori and mastication?????

You are missing nothing, sir. :)

Just a random joke in reference to one of my food-related quips.

I went to The Veggie Grill, a vegan restaurant for lunch. Considering this was my first visit I was surprised how good the food tasted. It really was delicious.

I had an "All-American Stack" veggie burger with sweet potato fries & chipotle sauce. I couldn't believe this vegan "meat" tasted so good. I was rather shocked. A bit expensive though.
