Message #2458 of 2744  *NEW* To From Subject Date All Larry Levy   Kabuki Sushi 5/21/06, 10:48am Janice and I returned on Saturday night to one of her favorite sushi hangouts, Kabuki Sushi in Woodland Hills. (Just west of the corner of DeSoto and Ventura-where the old Rickshaw restaurant was) We both ordered off the sushi menu and were treated to wonderful, super fresh sushi that was absolutely delicious. Ok, I did my usual sushi wimpout and ordered a California roll but I also tried the "Sprider Roll", which is an incredible mixture of tastes and texture. It's basically a California roll, but includes softshell crab, along with ground crab meat and avacado. Absolutely wonderful. I also had sliced shrimp on rice, which was great as well. Janice had a spicy tuna roll, rainbow roll and ahi. Wonderful, fresh quality and, get this, 50% off! The average sushi price was about $3.00-$4.00 or so, and this is the regular menu too. Total bill, including tax was $34.00. I have to admit, the first time I went there I was turned off by the "trying too hard to be hip" decor and the noise level, which when crowded, exceeds what you would normally expect in a sushi establishment. My suggestion, beat the crowds on weekends and go early, around 6:00-7:00 should do it. We'll meet you guys there anytime you want! Compared to Hyakumi and Mushashi, I'd have to say it's better quality than both Mushashi and Hyakumi and certainly less expensive than Mushashi. -------------------------------------------------------- " I lift up mine eyes to the hills, whence cometh my help.", Psalm 121 -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #2458 • Back to Topics

Ya know Lar, half price sushi and all-you-can-eat sushi is a GREAT place to experiment and try new things! I suggest that the next time you go that you TRY yellowtail sushi. Just try it..if it is cheap enough and you really don't like it, it won't cost you much to leave it on the plate. Then try the tuna. THEN we have you hooked!! -------------------------------------------------------- "All human arrogance and ego can be expressed in two words. 'You Should'.

Actually, after I thought about it, Janice also had the yelllowtail (one of her favs) and she said it was wonderful there.

I admit that you should not eat anything that is raw and has been sitting around for a few days to collect some nasties..but in MOST sushi bars, the fish you are eating was swimming around just a little bit ago... -------------------------------------------------------- "All human arrogance and ego can be expressed in two words.

There was an english show on a couple of years ago called "Two Fat Ladies" and one of those ladies was notorious for using meat that...well...WAS sorta green and hairy! They didn't show it on the show, but it was talked about. I have seen the way that they say you can "age" beef. It turns it grey. But..not for me! I have had "aged" beef and I am not a fan. But you know, some people just LOVE stuff like that! (Funny...I have no problem with the raw stuff..but I can't eat a brown bananna to save my life!) -------------------------------------------------------- "All human arrogance and ego can be expressed in two words.

I don't own a lot of blue plates, but I LIKE the color blue and would have no problem eating off of it!
