That might be stretching it: some of those things are fried in oil and/or wrapped with bacon... :sweat:

I've had ramen with butter in it before :thumbsup:, but a whole stick of butter would seem to be overdoing it a bit.... :google:

not sure if Tu saw the ad or not, it was in Sushi Today, monthy newspaper, they had an advertisment on Shinsemgumi, think later this month on the yakatori one, 8/26, all day thing going to be super packed with people that day. gosh all this food talk..gotta have some food soon.

they opened up a Super Udon in the marukai food court in OC, i wonder how long that one will last, and also a Beard Papa cream puff pastry place in there too. I saw three different establishments in the past year there.

I FINALLY visted the new Japanese Sushi restaurant by my house on Saturday. I'll post a list of items I ended up trying out tomorrow. :thumbsup: It's way past my bedtime. :pout:

Alrighty, so I tried the following things at the restaurant on Friday:

Miso Soup - LOVED IT
Eel in a hand roll - LOVED IT
Sushi: Salmon, red snapper - LOVED IT
Beef Teriyaki - LOVED IT
Chicken Teriyaki - LOVED IT
Bulgogi - It was ALRIGHT
Chicken and Veg Don - YUM
Shrimp Tempura - LOVED IT
Crab Meat Tempura - It was ALRIGHT
Gyoza - LOVED IT
Fried Tofu - LOVED IT
Chicken Fried Udon - LOVED IT
Beef Fried Udon - LOVED IT

There were a lot of dishes that we ordered, but these were the ones I managed to taste before blowing up. :mrgreen: All-in-all, a really good experience. I managed to eat eel! :woot:

I dunno how authentic it was, but I went with my cousin who LOVES Japanese food and often heads off to Toronto to visit his fav restaurants. He said the Bulgogi was a bit of a let down, but that the rest was made pretty well.

Well Bulgogi is actually Korean not Japanese, so it's not entirely surprising if it's less than stellar given the fact the main fare is sushi.

I probably would not order those types of dishes if they were on the menu at a Japanese restaurant....just like I don't go to Korean restaurants to eat sushi....even though I know they eat sushi too....they usually don't present the ingredients with the same skill and care as a Japanese sushi restaurant....at least in my experience in L.A.

Ahhhhh okay, that makes sense. I forgot to mention that we had loads of sushi rolls, too. I had so many diff kinds I can't remember which one I liked best, tho I've eaten sushi rolls a lot in the past, so it wasn't so much a fab experience as the rest.
