Dining Out Experience

[Anonymous]

I wondered also if this was an acceptable topic. I believe that you get to know a great deal about a culture or region by its food. Since we live in Los Angeles and it is such a wonderful breeding ground for collaborations of cultures, I often feel that I learn customs and traditions through eating foods from various culture, surrounding myself in a restaurant which has the decor and relics of that culture, and often owners and wait staff who are proud to introduce people to their culture through creation and implementation of creating beautiful traditional dishes from their native home.

My boyfriend and I frequent a sushi restaurant in Woodland Hills (San Fernando Valley) on Venture Blvd. called Kabuki. It is a Japanese restaurant that serves traditional and modern dishes as well as has an amazing sushi bar. We went there again last weekend (we try to frequent there at least once a month) and sat at the sushi bar where we were able to watch the sushi chefs create beautiful works of edible art. I am always fascinated by watching how they so creatively and carefully design each roll and dish. We often try new things and love everything on the menu. As a vegetarian I often find that eating out can be difficult, but find that in particular Asian cuisine caters to meat and non-meat eaters quite equally. Although some menu items can be quite pricey, you are certainly paying for the ambiance, friendly staff, and high-quality, fresh ingredients of each and every dish. The sushi is amazing but all of the more traditional tofu dishes, vegetable dishes, and seasonally fresh and creative daily specials are equally amazing. I love our date nights to Kabuki sitting at the sushi bar. Each time is truly a cultural awaking and adventure!

I didn't see anything about food in the group, so I hope this is an acceptable topic, I have found, food is a sub-culture and often a bounding ritual, so I didn't see the harm in posting a restaurant that offered an experience which was as enjoyable as it was tasteful and artistic.

The thing I like best about Asian cuisine is the ceremony of the food, the cooking and eating of Korean BBQ, family style Chinese meals and the skill and talent of Japanese sushi.

That is what I appreciated about my experience at SUGARFISH, the master chef, has designed an experience that implements rules customs, to give you the most traditional experience. One that enhances the flavor of the entree.

SUGARFISH is in Downtown LA, unlike most sushi restaurants, there is a back kitchen so you do not see it being prepared, but you are to eat and savor your meal as it comes to you, to benefit from the freshness of the fish, the sauces that are used, and to maintain the integrity of the flavors without over usage of soy sauce, etc.

Its worth a try, just for the experience.
