I don’t get too excited to write posts about sushi. Its discouraging to write a post when you have limited adjectives to describe something you know is so delicious and special. But sushi is just one of those baffling types of foods that words do not do justice. Audio Monkey sans wifey and The Anti-Exerciser …

Maruhide Uni Club
In the past 2 years I’ve really developed an appreciation for uni. Smooth Obturator would order it all the time but I would just give him and those ugly fleshy orange blobs the stink eye. I don’t really know when/how things changed for me, but I just can’t get enough uni nowadays. So when I…
Sushirrito
I love that people are constantly trying to innovate in the food world. People coming up with new twists on old ideas. People mashing up cuisines from different parts of the world. It’s fun to discover all these new things. I wouldn’t exactly say these innovators are always so successful. Sushirrito seems like it would…
Ikko
After a very long and exhausting morning/afternoon of smiling, posing, chit chatting, and sweltering in the heat, Dumpling Man, some friends, and I headed out for some fun and entertainment at the center of all that is hip, cool, and Asian in the OC…Diamond Jamboree! For those of you unfamiliar with Irvine, you should know…
Masu Sushi
Ok here is more of the same (Japanese), but at least it’s not in the South Bay. It’s pretty much impossible to find good sushi in Portland. Every place is just “meh” and I think most people would agree. Masu just might make the cut for decent sushi by my standards. Tsukemono Complements of…
Sen Nari Sushi
I had always been meaning to check out the foodie scene in South Bay (ie Torrance, Gardena, etc). Perhaps “foodie” is an overstatement, but there are a fare number of highly rated Japanese restaurants in the area that both Smooth Obturator and Nancy Rheeeee have recommended at one time or another. So I took it…
Hiko Sushi
So I actually came to Hiko for a birthday treat from Smooth Obturator and Triple T. Hiko had been on my radar for some time after some really rave reviews from Ghetto Booty Talks A Lot. This was many years ago, when he said Hiko was some of the BEST sushi he has ever eaten. …
Sushi Wasabi
I will have to be frank. Food in LA is better than OC. Argue with me all you want, but I stand by that statement. LA is just bigger with more variety. This is not to say that you can’t find good food in OC. There are some great eats here and there. Of course,…
SUGARFISH by Sushi Nozawa
Sugarfish has been on my radar for a while but I never got around to trying it. I was reminded of this by the many recent blogger posts on the new Sugarfish that recently opened in Downtown LA. So I feel like a bit of a bandwagoner with this, but perhaps I can stand apart…
Maneki
Maneki is Seattle’s oldest Japanese restaurant at over 100 years old. Hard to believe a restaurant could be that old huh? The restaurant is typical for a lot of Japanese restaurants in my experience, small with limited seats. This place goes so far as to deny anybody without reservations a chance to dine. The first…
Katsu-Ya @ Studio City
So long ago, when I first started Yelping, I added this place to my bookmarks of restaurants to try. It seemed like a more realistic option at that time when I was living in Monterey Hills and Dumpling Man was in West Hollywood. But somehow we never found ourselves in that neighborhood. Since moving to…
Eating My Way Through Memorial Day Weekend
The H.o.P. strikes again! We did what we do best, EAT! Here’s the quick rundown: Holiday weekend plans in my house always seem to revolve around food, especially when my sister is running the show =) On the way to running some errands, we stopped by a papuseria, or maybe it was just an El…
