we did one of those drive-arounds the other night and came upon a restaurant that had neon-lights in the front of it that said "Sushi"...it was enough to pull over and check the place out.
i thought we were in a Mr. Lee's: nice setup, run by koreans (how did i know? we just do)..
of course, when they saw us walk in, they gave me that friendly (in-the-clan-look) which would guarantee the freshest choice of meats, fish and extra helpings without any additional surcharges. they were only slight disappointed to realize that i just look like one, but can't talk like one..(look at the wife!).
the big difference was that the proprietor appeared be a matronly woman who seemed to run the place. (brought back memories of the many years that my mom ran restaurants, bars, pubs etc..)
the sushi was good (the tuna was crazy good) and they even had "Kalbi" - the famous standby, on the menu. off the menu, they brought us fresh kimchi ..(i know, i know, we live a charmed life)...
and the best thing is that it's less than a half-mile from our house about a 2 minute drive outside of our neighborhood.
anyone hungry yet?

Besides Sushi and Kimchi did they have a nice 'warm' tasteful soup by chance. Papster
next visit, i'm going to ask for a slew of home favorites.. which are predominantly the spicy ones. it will be helpful to last through the tough winter here.. it might get as low as 65 here in the dead of winter.
Food looks delicious - out of a magazine - how was the cost?
Maybe we can check it out in February, 2008.
Keep the blog going - everyone is enjoying it ; )
oh, yeah.. pics are from mags. we didn't bring a camera, but will the next time.
cost is very reasonable. you see, our area of phoenix is where the working class live..
