Japanese/Vietnamese

New restaurant in the neighborhood. Japanese/Vietnamese cuisine. At first the menu looked a bit daunting, especially the Japanese selections until you look closer. Three prices, first is the entrée, second is sashimi added, and the third is sashimi and tempura added. In reality, the prices are reasonable.

Spring Rolls

Becomes The Mouse’s (and maybe The Cat’s) new favorite spring rolls.

Eye Round Steak and Tendon Pho

The Cat threw in the vegetables before The Mouse could take a pic. The broth was well cooked, the leftover broth gelled. Thumbs up.

Ahi Belly Ginger

Mmm!

Chocolate Tapioca

The Mouse was happy, pudding was made with coconut milk, The Mouse is not a big fan of coconut milk, but better than dairy. 🙂

The Cat has declared this restaurant is on the go-to list. Yay!

Stay safe and well.

Impromptu Izakaya

No reservations, walk-in, a spur of the moment “see if we can get in” dinner. Lucky or maybe because of the health scare that cannot be named. A table available at one of The Cat and The Mouse’s favorite izakaya.

Chawanmushi

Hamachi Collar

Spider Roll

Butterfish

Tempura

Yuzu Sorbet

Flan

The Mouse just realized, the meal began and ended with custard. Good job! Hee hee. 🙂

Stay safe and well.

Japanese Lunch

Our favorite Japanese bistro was full up (only three tables available due to the thing that must not be named). A spur of the moment turn into a different Japanese restaurant: Yajima-Ya (just a couple of blocks from Sakura Terrace).

The Cat tried the bento special:

Bento Special

Teri chicken, sashimi, nigiri sushi, tempura, mackerel. The Cat liked.

The Mouse went with something more like rice and gravy.

Vegetable Curry

The Mouse liked too.

The Cat took home food to supply two weekday bentos. 

Stay safe and well.

Japanese Bento Sunday

The Cat hibernated, The Mouse didn’t feel like driving to town, too far.

Newly opened sushi bar/restaurant near the neighborhood grocery store. The Mouse has been there before (soft shell crab episode).

The Cat’s Bento

Broiled mackerel, miso butterfish combo.

The Mouse’s Bento

Teri chicken, vegetable tempura combo.

Stuffed and Fried Avocado

The Mouse not sure what the stuffing was, have to pay more attention to the menu next time.

Stay safe and well.

Ala Carte, not Teishoku

One of our favorite Japanese restaurants trying to cope with the ongoing lock-down, not lock-down by the local government.

Teishoku only available for take-out, eat-in is ala carte. Oh well, different food.

Makizushi

Ahi and avocado, and California. The ahi and avocado was nom, the California was okay.

Japanese Omelet

Another nom, one of The Mouse’s favorite dishes at Japanese restaurants. If it’s listed, The Mouse orders. 🙂

Heart of Palm Tempura

To The Mouse, tasted like bamboo shoot tempura. Not bad.

Hamachi Kama

Really big fish. The Cat liked.

Stay safe and well.
