Sapporo Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar

Recently I had an unbearable craving for sushi. I would like to take this moment to thank Google Places finding this place, which is pretty close to work. 

Calling up I asked first if I could order out and then if I could order out for sushi-which you can! Woo!

So I ordered Chirashi (19.99) which comes with an order of miso soup. I carried out my order before taking the picture, so the food being jostled around is my fault as I wasn’t very careful with it.

Several pieces of raw fishes are served over a bed of sushi rice with pickled radishes, fish eggs, scallions, sesame seeds, ginger and wasabi.

The soup was good; I would have liked a bit more seaweed in it. 

The sushi itself was thick, raw and fresh. I plan on returning to try their other fare, but I’m still a bit iffy on the price. $20 and I didn’t really felt like I got a lot. Yes, I walked away full but not overly stuffed and for the amount I paid and for the amount of fish I got, I could of gotten 2-3 rolls from their menu which might be a better deal.

I’ll have to see.

The environment was friend from what I saw. They have a few koi ponds and one has a bridge so you can watch the very fat fishes. It’s not just a sushi bar (but they do have a sit down sushi bar) they also do hibachi (where they cook your food in front of you), ramen, udon, bentos and much more.

I recommend checking out the menu if nothing else!

Cancun Indy, Mexican Restaurant

My work is in throwing distance of all kinds of food, and so when I get bored of the usual take out or delivery stuff, I venture out and collect a menu for something different. Today’s choice was Mexican, a place call Cancun right down the street. 

To be honest, this isn’t going to be the best review for the place. When I first called, I asked if they had paper menus I could take with me. The woman seemed confused and began speaking rapid Spanish to someone else on the other end and when she came back told me no. She was going to suggest their website, only to be told (I presume) that they didn’t have one (something I knew before hand, as I had searched). Then I ask if she could fax me a menu, she said and I gave her our number…10 minutes later, no fax.

The manager was kind enough to let me leave to go take pictures of the menu…only for me to realize that it was a waste of time as when I went to go hand the menu back, I noticed paper menus right to the right of the cashier. Really? They’re right there!

None the less, I grabbed a menu and went back to work. We hummed and hahhed over what to get and I decided for the Burrito mexicano, with the Diego’s dip and my other co-worker went with a side of Mexican rice and a large queso.

Burritto

 

It was good; your order comes with free chips in salsa. I wish my food had been a lot warmer, and not in metal containers-makes reheating a pain. My order came up to $16, co-workers came up to $13, so a little on the pricier side.

The burrito was nicely seasoned, filled with seasoned ground beef, piled on top was cheese, sour cream, tomato and lettuce. I ended up cutting it all up and eating like a salad. The Diego dip was awesome. It’s basically queso with seasoned ground beef  and pico del gallo. It is so much better than it sounds.

Since it was carry out, I didn’t see what the atmosphere was like, but I assume that like all Mexican restaurants, it’s a family place. It is ‘American-Mexican’ and not authentic, cornhusk wrapped Mexican.

I’ll most likely order out here again, but just with dip and no main course. And I’m keeping the menu.

Hungry Howie's Pizza

At work on June 3rd, myself and co-workers decided we were hungry but unwilling to leave. I was so happy to find that there was a Hungry Howie's in the area. Pizza is very much the American dish, and there are a few place in Indiana that stand out as awesome pizzerias (and I hope to find even more!)

This is going to be a rather short post, as I ordered and ate at work so there's not much to say about location, atmosphere or a waiter. I would like to note, that it's no secret how awesome Hungry Howies is, so if you decide to order, you best bank on a 45min delivery time.

Now one thing HH is known for is their crust. You order a pizza or break, and you get to pick a flavoring (all listed on website). They're all pretty awesome, but my two favorites are the garlic and cajun. Being as I have to talk to customers, we decided to forgo the garlic.

We ordered the boneless wings, medium philly steak and an order of howie bread. Splitting the bill between the two of us, a cheap $14 (for $28 for all of it). Now, I've never done one of their specialty pizzas before. Usually I just add toppings.......and man, do I regret waiting so long now.

mmmmmmmmmm

 Philly, green peppers, onions, provolone yummy crust and even more cheese.

Hungry Howies Bread...a must!

Wings

The pizza and bread was demolished, and I still had leftovers. It is a very heavy and greasy pizza, so not for those weak of stomach.Otherwise, it's pizza, and everyone likes pizza.
