Unfortunately, it is generally true that your service will be subpar if you don't go with a regular; however, regular customers are not necessarily Japanese.kevinEatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874030588556187843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-89590098214999620062009-05-24T14:06:58.832-07:002009-05-24T14:06:58.832-07:00Great review!

I don't know if there's any truth to that, but it's definitely a flavorful piece of meat. <br /><br />I frequently see the rare chicken served with wasabi, though I haven't tried it myself. It would be hard for me to get over the mental blockage of eating undercooked poultry.<br /><br />Btw, I'm going to be working down in Irvine, near UCI for the next two weeks. Want to meet up for dinner sometime while I'm down there? I figure I'll be stuck in traffic coming back anyway.

I also just saw that they deleted my entire thread on the place. If you do decide to go, try to go with somebody already "in the know." I'm concerned that you'll be disappointed otherwise.<br /><br /><B>Vinh</B>: The total with tax for a party of six was $383.41, though this included nearly $200 worth of booze. They lumped all the skewers, special or not, into one amount ($86.25), so unfortunately I couldn't get the price breakdown.kevinEatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874030588556187843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-13969733375491352812009-04-19T13:11:00.000-07:002009-04-19T13:11:00.000-07:00So what was the damage Kevin?
