Stopped by here Tuesday and they charge 11 for two pieces of fried chicken. Was just browsing but I decided at that time I wasn't eating that. Maybe another day.

Good international food is typically found in larger cities which in turn have considerably higher commercial real estate prices which then forces cheap traditional comfort food to be expensive.

No Excuses Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 The best ramen place in DC is Oki Bowl in DuPont Circle. The curry ramen is to die for. Daikaya’s spicy miso ramen is really good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 There is a serious oversaturation of ramen places in DC Chaplin is another one. The ramen is ok but the drinks are great. DC has a lot of great Asian food options but it is sorely missing quality sushi places. The best I’ve been to is Sushi Capitol. The place is always packed and reservations are hard to come by unless you plan way ahead. The owner recently opened a new location called Sushi Ogawa which is more upscale.

PleaseBlitz Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Sushi place that is very interesting is Buredo. There is one in DuPont and I think another one or two. Basically the concept is a sushi roll that is the size of a burrito. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySkinsFan Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I don't care for raw fish, like the cooked offerings. Used to go to a place downtown called Chloe's, they had a very good dragon roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like ceviche,but prefer my food cooked Good grocery store sushi is about fish quality and for me if they are mixing their flavors correctly. Sashimi or nigiri is ALL about the quality of the fish and half of that is about the freshness. The cut matters too, too thick is no good, too thin and there’s no flavor. That said, the black tuna above was freaking amazing! The marinade gave it a smokey flavor that balanced the subtle white fish flavor. I love “raw” ceviche too, some thick cod loin cubed and soaked for 45 minutes in lime juice, jalepeños, and onions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsburySkinsFan Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Bear in mind that “sushi” means rice, not raw fish. Most sushi in the states is served in rolls with other ingredients like cucumber, tempura, soft shell crab, eel, and various sauces. I much prefer sashimi over nigiri because I like the texture and taste of a larger piece of raw fish meat. The nigiri is good too, but it is a thinner slice pressed over rice. The uni above was prepared nigiri style but I ate the roe by itself with no rice or seaweed wrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like significantly so. I exoect to pay more in a town like this, but $19 for the shrimp and grits is too high.

AsburySkinsFan Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Been awhile since I posted here. I tried Ramen Ya in Lexington, KY today. First time at Ramen Ya, I couldn't decide on what yo get so I opted for Naruto's Ramen bowl which is pretty much everything in a bowl. I added kimchi because I enjoy a bit of spice. The first thing I noticed was how wondefful it all smelled. The kelp, and kimchi with the savory background were inviting. I first busted the boiled egg, spilling out the soft runny yolk! YUMMMM!!! Then I started with some plain noodles, they were fine, definitely better than the college ramen, but served mainly as the canvas for the other flavors and there were plenty. By the end of the bowl I was stirring and mixing and slurping away until my soup spoon sadly scraped the empty bowl. If you think ramen is 25 cent hard noodles with a bullion packet that starving artists eat then you owe to to yourself to enjoy a real taste of authentic Japanese ramen at Ramen Ya!

Kosher Ham Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Folks do not understand chili over pasta. I love it. My chili is pretty spicy, over some pasta. You will rarely eat chili in a regular way again. I taught my wife how to make it and she doesn't want chili unless we make it with pasta now.
