Tu-triky...

Sounds like you had a great time...the food sounds lovely...you're not helping me much here, you know...sitting here in cold, rainy Glasgow and dreaming of Japanese food... :grumble:

By the way...I love your avvy...(now I have to clean up my computer screen because I spit tea all over it when I laughed...) :mrgreen:

Never had the pleasure of trying those two places, but I've heard mighty good things about them. :victory:


yeah to be honest, Orris was on my radar screen for quite some time....but nobody i know had ever gone there. it's a very casual but lively place. dishes, in typical izakaya fashion, are small so it's probably best to go there in a smaller group of ppl so you don't have to order more than one of certain dishes :sweat:


the kurobuta pork medallians in green peppercorn sauce were so tender it felt like eating veal....i was reminded of the tender pork at Daikokuya. :)

sorry!

welcome again, ganmo! yeah i live in Los Angeles. we are fortunate to be blessed by many many quality Japanese restaurants. Our proximity to Japan (being on the West Coast of America), the presence of several Japanese businesses locally, and the fact that there is a significant Japanese/Japanese-American population has influenced the culinary scene here...in fact Los Angeles is home to branches of actual Japanese restaurants that exist in Japan.

haha...thanks....a lot of members on this message board have lovely pictures of beautiful women and handsome guys so i like to be goofy and mix it up a bit. ^_^

yeah....i don't eat pork all that much....but kurobuta pork does seem to be the best.....

to be honest....Daikokuya's ramen with kurobuta pork is the most tender pork i've had at any restaurant, cheap or expensive.

i'm glad you were able to try it, too :)

Just came back from Bamboo Garden.

I had Ginger Chicken with pad thai and mango salad, fried spring rolls :drooling:, crispy wings (I can't recall the sauce), fried banana was coconut sauce, and a large pinapple milkshake.

It would be an understatement to say I was stuffed.

I'll have to stop visiting this thread. It always makes me feel hungry, and I just can't find most of these delicious-sounding meals near where I live :(
Luckily we do have a good Thai restarant nearby.

I surprised you don't have more japanese food given australia's location in the Pacific Ocean
9 Oct 2006, 06:51 #10675
I think it's more that we don't have much of a Japanese population. At least not in the area I live in. I'll have to have a look in thr restarant guide again - maybe something new has opened lately.

This is sorta the case with me. Lots of grand Thai restaurants scattered about. We also have a huge Chinese population in Toronto (hence Chinatown), but limited Japanese stuff.
