Food, Food, and More Food Thread

Animal is a bit on the spendy side. typical small dish plate. some of them were a little salty when we last went. but the drink selection is good. we should've ordered more, i was still a bit hungry afterwards. then again, im a pig. :p

I guess that means I better bring the plastic or hit the ATM before hands...pig, yeah...you should see me and one of my foodie friends...if and when we go out...it's financial destruction....but always a good time! :beaten:

true, the friends made up for the lack of food (for me)
i think the bill came out to about $55/person, tip was included because we had a large party. I think if we ordered maybe 4 more dishes, it would've been just right. it's nice that the menu changes often, so you really never eat the same thing more than a few times.

Duly noted! I'll keep it on the radar screen. :victory:

A fine combo.

Couldn't you have poured it all into one? :P

I guess it would be nice to share with a friend, or better yet a girl. :)

I'm with you though...that glass looks too empty. :beaten:

:applaud: Someone who appreciates such a fine pairing.

I ate here this weekend. Kushiage is a nice alternative to yakitori/robatayaki once in a while. The food was delicious and affordable. :)

Hey, I know that place...!

Great pics... I'm ready to bite my monitor. :drooling:

Oh yeah? Very cool...truth be told I had not and I've never even been to that shopping area or the Nijiya located within it. The food is pretty good. It's not quite up to the kushiage I had in Japan but the food is still tasty and satisfying. I'd recommend going there. It's very small but clean. My friend and I ate our fill and the bill came out extremely low (for us!). While we only had one beer between us we ate quite a few skewers and the bill was about 45 bucks for two. In my experience, that is very reasonable for dinner. Many of the skewers were only a buck a piece.

The pics are insane...and the potatoes with the blue cheese and truffle oil are absurdly good.

Looks absolutely delicious!....just wondering, after eating so many fried kushiage, did your stomach feel OK afterwards?

I think I'll go try out that place anyway!

I didn't eat as many skewers as photographed on that website. The batter is really light, not thick at all. Moreover each morsel is really small....the closeup photography is a bit deceiving in that respect, making each skewer appear bigger than it really is. So to answer your question I felt fine. In actuality, I ate far more kushiage when I dined on this type of food in Osaka...but then again I drank way more too. ;)

Alcohol is a great grease-cutter. :mrgreen:
