Sushi Yasu

I love my neighborhood for too many reasons to list, good food being one of the top ones… and food good enough for other people to leave their boroughs to visit my neighborhood is definitely included in that.  In all fairness, I suppose I sort of coerced DLS to come to Forest Hills, but the promise of very good, fresh sushi, is a great enough reason, isn’t it?  Sushi Yasu has to be the best sushi place in my area – I easily rank it up among the Manhattan places in terms of freshness – but I hadn’t been since [...]

Yuka – All You Can Eat Sushi

A very long time ago, a friend of mine raved constantly about Yuka for all you can eat sushi.  I eventually made the trek, and posted about it, but the food blogger I was when I wrote that post and the food blogger I am now pretty much aren’t on speaking terms.  In fact, part of me sometimes looks at my early food writing and thinks I should go back and either rewrite everything or revisit places to get a better idea of what’s up – especially those places I review poorly – but the rest of me thinks “Yo, [...]

Tomo Japanese Cuisine

Sometimes, when I get an idea in my head, I become fixated on it and that’s all that can be done, no way around it… and so it was recently when I decided I wanted sushi/sashimi on Lunar New Year (February 3rd this year).  Time constraints being what they were – I had tickets to see Al Pacino in Merchant of Venice that night – I quickly ordered some takeout sashimi from a local place that a friend mentioned as being yummy.  Even more yummy?  All sashimi/sushi a la carte was $1/piece, including uni and toro!  Unfortunately, they didn’t have [...]

Fuji Japanese Cuisine

Girls’ night in – sushi & scrabble! – so we ordered in from Fuji Japanese Cuisine.  The above is the sushi party platter for two, even though we had three of us, and it was more than plenty.  You get to choose three sushi rolls, and they choose the sushi pieces for you.  If there’d been two of us, I’d have been mad there were 3 pieces because how do you split that evenly with two people?!  Haha.  Tuna, white tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and fluke… not a bad selection.  This also came with two miso soups and two salads, for [...]

Thursdays with TT: Iron Sushi

CT really wanted to see Inception. She got denied before when her friends from Boston were in town, so we decided to go on a Wednesday night because who goes to the movies then? We got to the theater about 30 mins early, so getting seats was a non-issue since there were only 3 other people there. It filled up a bit, but still quiet as expected for a weekday night. It was a good movie that was super intense. Anytime you deal with anything involving dreams, it can get pretty confusing and a little scary. Before the movie, we [...]
