Cold weather could only mean two things for me: scarf and hot soupy food. Sometimes I’d go for hot pot, sometimes I opt for a little ramen. These are my comfort food to warm the soul. 😉 Jinya Ramen is a small restaurant and has bar seating. My spicy miso based ramen is …

Las Vegas Good Times and Good Eats
With desperate need for a getaway trip, I’ve just spent the last few days in Las Vegas kissing my diet good-bye and eating and drinking (coffees) it up like there’s no tomorrow. Fresh all-you-can-eat sushi at Goyemon (large menu, $22/person), yummy dessert at Studio B Buffet ($23/person for weekday dinner, no crab legs …

What’s Up, Fullerton, CA
I love finding good eateries especially those that have been right under my nose. Came to What’s Up with a friend who apparently knew about it before I did. I was pleasantly surprised, as I’m usually in this area quite often and never noticed this new Japanese ramen noodle restaurant. Keyword: new-ish. 😛 …

Sushi House Goyemon, Las Vegas, NV
[easyrotator]erc_51_1353051813[/easyrotator] Visiting Las Vegas only means two things for a non-gambler, aka. me: shows and buffets/all-you-can-eat’s. And maybe a little shopping here and there. Being a sushi lover, how can I turn down AYCE (all you can eat) sushi for lunch? My sushi loving friends recommended Sushi House Goyemon just ten minutes …

California Shabu-Shabu, Fountain Valley, CA
I’ve eaten at California Shabu-Shabu plenty of times before, when I started getting into this hot pot craze. Then after having tried out Mongolian hot pot like Little Sheep, Ichi Ichi and The Red Pot, I sort of strayed away from shabu-shabu due to the lack of soup base flavor. Shabu-shabu is basically cooking …

Makino Sushi Seafood Buffet, Irvine, CA
A huge craving for crab legs has led me to the nearest seafood buffet I could find, Makino Sushi Seafood Buffet in Irvine. A bit pricey – $27 a person. Eek! But I figured with the pending large amount of crab legs I was about to consume, it’ll be worth it. 🙂 And …

Kouraku Restaurant, Los Angeles, CA
It’s been years since I took a stroll through Little Tokyo, Japanese Town in Los Angeles. It’s a lot cleaner than China Town, that’s for sure. 😀 And of course, it’s probably the best place to go for sushi and ramen. There are a lot of ramen places to choose, including the one …

Sky Sushi, Stanton, CA
I’m feeling kinda lazy today to write about yet another all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant. I seriously think I eat way too much sushi, and I’m running out of things to say about it. Hah! It’s either fresh or not. And Sky Sushi is medium fresh. That’s pretty much all I have to say about …

Geisha House, Los Angeles, CA
Geisha House isn’t a typical restaurant for you to go for sushi because everything is so expensive. We came here on a Monday night when most of the menu is 50% off – from sushi, sashimi, appetizers, and hot entrees. So I felt more at ease ordering a bunch of stuff without burning …

Niko Niko Sushi, Cerritos, CA
I’ve been eating way too much sushi. Must.resist.mercury. Niko Niko Sushi has several locations. I realized that upon sitting down and remembered that I have eaten at the one in Irvine, and that the sushi is just mildly decent. So I kinda already had minimal expectations. The cherry blossom roll looked pretty on the …
