what are you going to eat today?

i think i might go for Japanese, either bento lunch or ramen...
maybe some japanese food for dinner as well. :bonk:

I went to eat Sushi with me mama and brother at....12? 1....
Ate 30+ pieces, 1 1/2 cup of tea and 1 cup of water.
I'm full for the day.

Just made a cup of coffee...letting it cool down before i put it in the fridge.
Going to leave it in there until 6:30 and then put ice in it and drink.

Met my brother and sister-in-law at Hakone Sushi today... As a change of pace, I had tempura, sashimi, and agedashi. My brother had broiled saba and my sister-in-law had chicken katsu.

My fave waitress wasn't there today: she was at the sumo wrestling tournament in Las Vegas... :puppydog:



Ehh, I shoulda ordered some sushi to go. :banghead:

okay i went to that japanese bakery, beard papa's sweets cafe, that just opened it's doors in l.a. for the first time today...at hollywood & highland ave....it was pretty tasty....it's a fresh made cream puff ...they only had the "original" cream puff flavor but it was very light and tasty as i think most japanese food items, especially confections are....anybody in l.a., next time your in hollywood...try it out...future flavors include chocolate filling, caramel, and green tea.

dude, you ate 30 pieces, if they were normal size futomaki sushi's, i'd say, i would roll over and blah...if i ate that many at once....think most i ate was 20,....not sure.
was it an all you can eat sushi place? :bonk:

If it wasn't, that bill would be pretty huge. :sweat:

i think you might enjoy it. :)

it was pretty good...i actually went with this girl but when we first got there it was hella crowded with a long ass line but we actually went to hollywood to go hike at runyon canyon park so after we finished hiking we went to the bakery and the line was was crazy short....i just ate one cuz afterwards we had lunch at hurry curry of tokyo on sawtelle on the westside. i'm done for the day...full.

but, as i said, fans of japanese food may enjoy it...it's something different which would typically be difficult to find here....

most definitely...
at Mitsuwa, too go sushi depends on the type, but 7 or 8 pieces could go for as much as $7....unless it is the pickled sushi's, then it would be about $4 or so.

qilver wrote:there's probably a ton of good ramen places in Honolulu. I remember seeing a lot of them walking in the downtown area last year.

I haven't found one good (Japanese) ramen place in the downtown vicinity yet.
Around 3 weeks ago, I went to a Chinese owned and operated ramen shop in downtown. Worst ramen experience of my life. I waited 34 minutes (yes, I kept track of time after 15 minutes passed). The least they could've done was tell me that it was going to take so long. To top it off, it was HORRIBLE!!!! :bleh: Like noodles in diarreha.

qilver wrote:Do you guys have a "Daikokuya" ramen place? They have one in Little Toyko Los Angeles area, it is so good, i highly recommend it for those that are in the area. I am thinking of going out there, but not sure if i want to make the 1 hr drive out to LA, there's even traffic sometimes on the weekend. :shakehead:

Never heard of such a place here. Is it really that good? Best in LA? I gotta try it out one day.
