I went to "Sushi Roku." I want to go this restaurant for a long time, but the price is really expensive, so I never has a chance to eat there. Finally, this was a good time!!!!
The lunch menu was 25 dollar. it included an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert. 
 
The appetizer-  I had " Seared Albacore Sashimi" and my friend had " Tuna Tataki Sashimi" I like the tune more than albacore. But these two fishes were really fresh. 

The main entree included " Chef's Sashimi, Mixed Tempura, Baked Cod, Renkon,  Small Sunomono, Chicken Kushlyaki, and Steam Rice" Except the chicken, I like all other items. 

The dessert- I had "Mini Chocolate Volcano" and my friend had " fruit and sorbet" The mini chocolate was so so so good. I can't describe how good it was, you have to try it.... I don't know how the taste of the sorbet, but I think it probably not bad too.

Good Food and Good Restaurant!

Dumping House

This weekend, I ate Chinese food in Arcadia.
This restaurant was very small, but it was clean, and the decorate was not bad.
The restaurant had pretty good business at Saturday night. The restaurant was almost full. 

This restaurant sells different kinds of dumplings, noodles, and soups.
I really like to eat dumpling, so I got the "Chive, Egg, Pork & shrimp dumplings". 12 dumplings in one order. In chinese it is called "three items dumpling." It was not expensive, It cost $5.95. The taste was alright. 


I also got the beef roll. It was really big!  I forget how much it is. I think probably around 6 dollars. The taste was OKay! but it had too much green onion.
I don't like green onion.. maybe next time I will ask the waiter don't put the green onion in it. 

I like this restaurant because it was clean and not expensive. 
I probably will go again..

Little Tokyo Shabu Shabu


I thought American do not like to eat Shabu Shabu, but after I have been this shabu shabu store, I changed my mind.

This Shabu Shabu always has very good business. Whenever I went, I have to wait for at least half an hour.

This shop only has beef can choose. The beef is really fresh. They cut the beef when you order your food. The only thing that you can choose is the size of your order. ( medium/ large)


The taste is really good. My friend told me that the coffee is really good,too. I don't like to drink coffee, so I never try...
