Japanese

We tried out this restaurant a few weeks ago when we were in a ramen noodle mood...

For ramen, you can select one of the three basic bowls:

tonkotsu ramen (pork broth), tonkotsu shoyu (pork broth with soy sauce), and tonkotsu kotteri (pork broth, oilier)

If you pick any of the other ramen dishes, you get to pick one of the three broths above as your base flavoring, prior to all the extra ingredients you get from your menu selection.

Hey, there! I've been busy with work and life, but I wanted to share some great things to eat!

Here's the short of it: The Fried Shrimp with Mayonnaise Sauce was amazing!  The shrimp are plump and cooked to perfection, not deep fried with batter. ($6.50)  Call and make a reservation for dinner since the restaurant is pretty small.  Some servings are also small, so it might be a little pricey to fill up a hungry tummy. 

One of Barona Resort & Casino's newest eateries is Seafood Plaza.  It is across from the food court and down the escalators.  This area has been remodeled.  It used to be a bingo hall.  There are two other restaurants: Italian Cucina and the soon-to-be new Barona Oaks Steakhouse.  I like this area because it was definitely more quiet than the rest of the casino.

After we ordered, one of the servers brought out a bowl of complimentary Edamame for us to munch on while we were waiting for our meal.

As a special Comic Con treat, I went with my sister and a friend to Nobu in downtown San Diego for dinner.  It is definitely a hot spot.  It was packed with Con go-ers and party people.  Don't worry, most of the geeks are gone by now =)

Finally!  I'm done reposting all my old reviews from the original Oh-So Yummy site.  So here's a new one...

While I was at Michael's (the craft store), I noticed a sign for Sushi Man, so I decided to try them out.  They're in the same shopping area as Pacific Theaters and they also have locations in Hawaii and two more in San Diego: 6348 College Grove Way #104 (next to Sam's Club) and 872 Eastlake Parkway #412 (at the Village Walk).

I’ve been having the biggest sushi craving for a while, so I asked my friend Phil if he would like to accompany me and at the same time recommend a place where we can get good sushi. He decided to take us to Sushi Town and told me their sushi was pretty good and at a decent price range.

This was my first trip to Yoshi Sushi although Dennis had been telling me about it for awhile. Apparently, they have a great all you can eat sushi deal. They make the sushi fresh with that deal so it’s much better than going to a sushi buffet. It’s good for sharing but since it was just Dennis and myself (we were later joined by Lynn), we decided to skip the all you can eat deal and just order something off their dinner menu.

We walked in about 15 minutes until closing, about 10:15m, and were promptly seated by the waitress . Maybe we got water right away but we ended up being forgotten for a bit. It was a full room and they somehow missed that we hadn’t ordered, in fact, hadn’t even gotten the MENU yet. We had to flag someone down to get a menu. I wonder if this happens often or maybe just that night.

Oshi is a small korean restaurant off the corner of College Ave and Montezuma. Its pretty much the only decent asian food near SDSU and within walking distance. My friend goes there during lunch time to scope out the korean and japanese girls. I go there for food.
