Its amazing what kind of neat tricks the chef pull off night after night as they cook at our tables.<BR/><BR/>Maybe one day you will know the joys of sushi, but if you stop at teppanyaki, well I guess thats not so bad. :)Sushiboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04896496364940804764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21274051.post-44568347232283742612007-09-11T15:01:00.000-06:002007-09-11T15:01:00.000-06:00I don't think I have it in me to try sushi...& I'm...I don't think I have it in me to try sushi...& I'm not a picky eater!

I like crawfish in anything. What didn't you like about the salmon and tuna? The rawness?<BR/><BR/>Nobody - I'd love to skip school for sushi, only problem is I'd probably miss some tests and end up failing. :P And then I've wasted tuition and $300 in books, Maybe next year... (stupid responsibility)<BR/><BR/>TGirl - I like pocky too, thats why it got special mention. I would love to visit Japan, even being there on deployment sounds fun.Sushiboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04896496364940804764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21274051.post-54000348799049156952007-09-10T21:34:00.000-06:002007-09-10T21:34:00.000-06:00omg! pocky!! i loved that stuff when i was station...omg! pocky!! i loved that stuff when i was stationed in okinawa. there is an all you can eat sushi place in las vegas that rocks! makano or something like that. bout $18 for lunch and $23 for dinner i think ... last time i was there was in january. but again ... all you can eat and all you can imagine. my mouth is watering just thinking about it ... mmmmmmm!"that girl"https://www.blogger.com/profile/05578779148756650540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21274051.post-21097011521028922632007-09-10T21:13:00.000-06:002007-09-10T21:13:00.000-06:00Found it, it's at the TIhttp://www.socialhouselv.c...Found it, it's at the TI<BR/>http://www.socialhouselv.com/menu/<BR/><BR/>I don't know what any of it is.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02166751077000397181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21274051.post-18543979582075406362007-09-10T21:08:00.000-06:002007-09-10T21:08:00.000-06:00I was at Spice Market Buffet right after they re-o...I was at Spice Market Buffet right after they re-opened last year, so I figured the sushi was fresh. Hopefully it will be good this year too.<BR/><BR/>Skip school and come on down. I heard of a good sushi place in Vegas on Food Network last night, but I can't remember the name of it or where it was. I may have to track that down.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02166751077000397181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21274051.post-16604642868611492162007-09-10T19:55:00.000-06:002007-09-10T19:55:00.000-06:00My friend took me for Sushi about 2 years ago.

I loved the eel and crawfish but hated the tuna and salmon. You really couldn't taste the eel and crawfish that much and with the rice and seaweed it made a good combination.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad I went with someone who knows I'm a picky eater and who was helpful with the choices.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02959102592207253255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21274051.post-41711180940454499502007-09-08T18:56:00.000-06:002007-09-08T18:56:00.000-06:00Great post.I am a newbie to sushi (2-3 year) and w...Great post.<BR/><BR/>I am a newbie to sushi (2-3 year) and where I live it is a bit of a challenge to find. Its funny, when I lived out in the sticks there was a Sushi place close. Move back to the 'Burbs and it's hard to get. But wow that looked good.Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16344892034402472772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21274051.post-60633124886426239062007-09-08T10:30:00.000-06:002007-09-08T10:30:00.000-06:00That's weird.

There is another place on West Temple that I can't remember the name of but they make excellent rolls there. After my first experience, I became an addict althouh, in some places, I think heroin is cheaper.<BR/><BR/>In Vegas, Rio has a good sushi bar as well as the MGM Grand. If you happen to be in Henderson, hit the Hyatt Lake Las Vegas Resort. Their sushi restaurant has been rated in the top ten in the country.<BR/><BR/>In Denver,where I reside, there are almost too many to list. Sushi Den is probably the best with fresh tuna flown in from Japan daily.Just Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01619822123330587984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21274051.post-89087719748602024642007-09-08T00:28:00.000-06:002007-09-08T00:28:00.000-06:00Oh, the south may not have much in the way of Jap...Oh, the south may not have much in the way of Japanese cuisine, but the Cajun and other Southern restaurants make up for it. Its just about impossible to find Andouille sausage in Utah. (great for gumbo) but I saw it all over in SC. YUM. But with a little looking you kind find a Japanese place just about anywhere.

I've had some good sushi from a buffet, I wish I didn't have school, or I'd come down and sample some with you :)<BR/><BR/>Mel - I found Sushi in South Carolina when I was there in April. But of course I was on Hilton Head so it was probably not really like the rest of the state. :( I have noticed it is a bit harder to find a Japanese resturant in the South. If you ever want to try sushi, give me an e-mail. Its not too hard to find sushi you will like when you have a few pointers.Sushiboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04896496364940804764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21274051.post-25712198972945690632007-09-07T20:46:00.000-06:002007-09-07T20:46:00.000-06:00I have never been brave enough to try sushi and th...I have never been brave enough to try sushi and there are not that many places around here that offer it.<BR/><BR/>That is one pretty plate of food though!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18313915258169857834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21274051.post-19820560667926306532007-09-07T20:37:00.000-06:002007-09-07T20:37:00.000-06:00great post, and very informative.
