Eye rolling fresh fish

Echigo
12217 Santa Monica Blvd Ste 201
Los Angeles, CA 90025
(310) 820-9787

Chef Toshi never disappoints with Omakase. Albeit, we’ve eaten pretty much the same variety of fish for the last few years here like the usual butter fish, Kanpachi and toro, but I can still appreciate it each and every single time because the quality fish and [...]

Sansei

Sansei Seafood Restaurant and Sushi Bar
1881 S. Kihei Road
Suite Kt
Kihei, HI 96753
(808) 879-0004

The high ratings on yelp brought us into this sushi/seafood joint. Looking at the crowd, the place seems very popular among some locals and a lot of tourists.

So here’s what we had:
1. Sansei’s dynamite shrimp – The server said that this [...]

Got Robbed

Bar Masa
Aria Hotel & Casino
3730 Las Vegas Boulevard South
Las Vegas, NV
(866) 359-7111

Yes, it’s supposed to be another outpost of Chef Masayoshi and his famous Masa in New York, but somehow I can’t help but feel that we got seriously robbed. As evidence of an uncrowded Saturday night, I think other people realized this, too.

What [...]

Mild Sushi Fever

Sushi Fever
(702) 838-2927
7985 W Sahara Ave Ste 105
Las Vegas, NV 89117

Turned off by the thought that it is indeed the trendy sushi place to be, but also attracted to it because EVERYONE says it’s sooooo good, I finally gave in and went to sushi fever.

Being in Las Vegas, I have incredibly low expectations for the [...]

Naked Fish are so sexy!

Nah… not really sexy, but oh so dericious! I think this is the place to go for rolls. It’s not smothered with the yum yum sauce but something else ponzu-esque. p.s. although i question the freshness of any fish in vegas, the Toro was almost fantastic. very fatty.

Naked Fish

Fat Girl’s Thanksgiving 2008 Food Adventures….

Heart Attack Paradise

I’m not a connoisseur of Mexican food simply because I like it all – Lindo Michoacan, Taco Bell, Del Taco, Latino mom’s cooking, downtown LA on MLK mexican… it’s all good to me. BUT BUT BUT – I do love heart-attack-waiting-to-happen food (when it’s meant to be greasy that is) [...]

Bad Food

DINNER:
So, sushi roku (Las Vegas, NV, Forum Shops) – this over glamorized restaurant they claim to be a japanese restaurant. They have happy hour even on Saturdays, so i said, “why not? it’s cheap.” CHEAP it is. On their happy hour menu, $4 for rolls (6 pieces), $3 for full size [...]
