Too bad about the miss because it was only a block and a half away from R23. <BR/><BR/>The owners might extend the hours to 2am in the near future. Ryan has mentioned he might make a visit. I might hit it up if Ryan decides to order everything for a taste sampler on all the sausages.<BR/><BR/>Won't join on the beer tasting though.

We originally wanted to go to Daikokuya for ramen, but decided against it after seeing the line out the door. We ended up going to In-n-Out, where I ate a 4x4. Jane had a double-double with a vanilla shake.<BR/><BR/>Both Ryan and I want to try Wurstküche, but we didn't think of it at the time. It would've been closed anyway though (we got out of R23 at 10:00).kevinEatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874030588556187843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-49104685829704497402009-04-04T00:16:00.000-07:002009-04-04T00:16:00.000-07:00Where is Jane?

Love her!<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you had a "solid" experience. I don't think it was in the upper echelon in the sushi joint. heck, I would prefer Hama Sushi over this place. It's been a while since I had been here and back then it was a hip and trendy place to go for sushi.<BR/><BR/>Did you guys hit up Wurstküche for beer and sausage afterward? I know Tangbro1 wanted to go there. It's only about a block and half away from here.Right Way to Eathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01771314441239913617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-45755500960997453222009-04-03T16:29:00.000-07:002009-04-03T16:29:00.000-07:00I could actually see it being a good lunch spot, w...I could actually see it being a good lunch spot, with the chirashi especially.

I thought it was pretty solid, but it's unfortunate if the place has gone downhill recently.<BR/><BR/><B>Iwashee</B>: Sushi Sushi is an interesting proposition. The place has a stupid name frankly, yet it's highly rated and appears to serve authentic, traditional fare.

Like you, I've been curious about it for a while but never got a chance to go yet (hearing mixed things here and there over the years).

I went when they were under the former ownership so I don't know what has changed since then, but the star of my dinner was that crab salad. The nigiri sushi was so-so, and you're right, R23 is a step below to even the 2nd tier sushi restaurants (ie: Echigo) in LA.Kung Food Pandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14947611326101640959noreply@blogger.com
