I took the kids to a new Sushi & Hibachi place tonight thinking it would be a fun thing to do to try something new, give my newly vegetarian daughter some new food options and maybe give me a chance to use the little Japanese I know. I was able to do this because my wife was working; she associates sushi with seafood and probably wouldn’t step in the place. I’ll be getting her there later though, there was lots of food she would like.
I didn’t realize I was walking into an all you can eat situation, which are never good for me, particularly when I haven’t had a chance to formulate a plan.
My son had Hibachi Filet Mignon, which I sampled and it was tender and delicious. Oishii desu yo! It came with fried rice and he also had some of my daughter’s edamame appetizer. She had tofu sushi which she didn’t like because it was too sweet and vegetable soba, which are thin noodles in a vegetable broth. I sampled that too and it was really good.
I started off ordering pretty well, getting just a few miscellaneous sushi like salmon and unagi (eel). Then because I had not planned my trip properly I found myself ordering from the meat side of the menu with some teppanyaki and teriyaki steak. In hindsight I realize one of the reasons I wanted to go to this restaurant was to eat healthy, and I completely forgot that as I was looking at the menu. I would have been totally satisfied with the edamame, tofu sushi and soba.
Now I know.
We finished the night with a little green tea ice cream.
Oh, and practicing my Japanese? Ueitoresu nihongo o wakarimasen (our waitress did not understand Japanese).
