It seems like you're eating onigiri and/or curry every day. Believe me, I would as well. And all this talk of onigiri and curry is making me hungry again. :sweat:

yeah, but i do miss Lawson, they had so much variety of Onigiri, and tasted a bit better...and the pastry, and so much selection of japanese drinks.....

i don't really eat it daily, probably two to three times a week...
and i try not to eat out a lot, sometimes, some onigiri is good enough, and it is cheap.

but i do try to get my $5 unagi donburi with a japanese drink from Mitsuwa or Marukai. It helps that i live within 10 miles of the J-stores, very convenient....reminds me of Japan, a bit.

know any good Yakitori places, was thinking about Shinsemgumi, I know the one in OC has a Yakitori place that connects to the Ramen place. What about the one in the Southbay Torrance area? does it have a ramen/yakitori Shinsegumi there too? any good?

not sure how much shinsengumi yakitori is, but the ramen section of the restarant is not too bad in price once in awhile. don't go there as much thesedays... about $8 or so per person for a good meal, $12 if you want to include some fried rice and maybe a drink would cost even more...

hmmm.. .lemme put it this way, the last time i went, we spent $200 for 3 people. We could have drank and ate less, but they only come to LA once in a while, and we were chatting for hours.

dude, what did you order?!?

i was thinking maybe $30 for two people tops......but $200 for 3 people?! dang....that is a lot.
the alcohol is what costs the most...

"pm" if you want to chat about anything off topic.....i posted on the going to japan thread....will try to post more pix of my japan trip laters...

gotta head out and send your cd's, @krim
and meet up with my ex laters.

can't remember exactly what we ate, but we basically ordere whatever we felt like... and probably had about 8 large sapporos and a few orders of sake.
The first time I went there was in a group of 12, and the bill was $800'ish.

that's an extreme case, you could get away with $30, if you dont drink alchohol.

That would definitely bring out a large bill, especially at a Japanese restaurant. If left on my own, I could easily spend $100+ on sushi alone. :doh:

now, that are expensive $$$$$$$$$$$$$ dinners... :shocked:

$20 each is a lot as it is, maybe $25 with a drink., but to me that is a bit pricy, but $100 over, for one? that is too too much.

Considering a plate of nigiri sushi could be easily $4-6 bucks, and toro even higher, $100 is not impossible.

i've done over $100 on sushi/sashimi before... i wasn't paying attention to what I was ordering, and slightly drunk. :hehe:

sadly there was a reversal later on that night, so it was all for nothing.

yeah i could see that...i've spent more than 100 multiple times...not recently mind you....

shiet, while i was in japan i had at least 3 or 4 meals that were over 100 dollars per person...but they were some of the best meals i've had in my life ^_^

Was that a kaiseki (set menu) dinner with multiple courses?
