Those food you listed sounds really good. I gotta go eat some of those sometimes. I have a big craving for some good sushi, but the problem is I don't have that much $$$ to spend, thats why I go to the Sushi Factory for all you can eat....its good to me, but I want to try a place that isn't all you can eat :mrgreen:

the sushi you can get from Mitsuwa Market, isn't that expensive. Maybe $5 or so for a good amount. even unagi sushi or other kinds and that will fill you up for a meal. 6 to 12 piece depending on the kind of sushi. Of course the raw sushi tuna's are a bit more, but they are all good.
I find that they have a good selection and not sure where else you can find a good selection like that elsewhere in Nor Cal SJ area. Onigiri will also fill you up at a cheap cost, around $1 each, three of those will fill you up at around $3. and they have different kinds. Of course the ones they had in Japan at Lawson, they had so much variety and it was so so good and fresh.

yea, and look for the sales, sometimes they have summer festival sales...
got a bunch of japanese snacks for $1 each, normally priced closer to $3 each, but i think the sale is over now. I also got Peach Calpis for $1, normally $1.50 or higher....
I think Murakai Market is cheaper overall, but i don't think they have one in the Bay Area, just here. :bonk:

I got the peace Calpico for like $1.30 including tax but my friend didn't buy it after he tried it and we got it at this one place for under $1 :shocked:

under a buck?! where?
I think that Peach Calpis is better than the other one, but i like both of them. It has a bit of an after taste though.
The other drinks SuperH2O, Aquarius, Pocarti Sweat, they are low in sugar and are good. They all taste somewhat similar.

tried a lot of the Pocky's?? there are so many types. :bonk:

It was at some store up in San Mateo....like Ichiban something..... :sweat:

I"ve tried strawberry pocky, vanilla, chocolate, & Green Tea :victory:
I personally like the Green Tea taste more :woot:

hmmm, never been to that store before in San Mateo, kind of a drive out from SJ area.

Yeah, tried the Strawberry, Chocolate, Banana-Chocolate, and other various kinds with nuts. But haven't tried the Green Tea one or vanilla before, should try that sometime. :bonk:

I will probably eat at this place in the near future. Sushi + Buffet = Happy Me. :dancing: Although I will have a food coma when I return to work. :crazy:

Better have some major green on you then... Or plastique. :D

Of all things, when it comes to sushi, quality over quantity is a must.

I guess I'm still in my college phase. Eat as much as possible for as little as possible. Just as long as the food isn't total crap, it's acceptable. :sweat: I know it violates the first rule of sushi.

For anything cooked, I probably feel the same way about mass consumption (e.g., buffets in Vegas :thumbsup: ), but I draw the line on sushi...

I will probably try this buffet place out, just to see how it's like.
