asian food. mmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Blondie4Spurs]

The last time I had central market suhi it was disgusting - maybe you ordered the wrong thing at Zushi Sushi........

I have heard Koi Kawa is good but haven't been there yet. I do know it is very pricey.


When you go to goros ask for the beef onion soup instead of Miso - it comes with your meal.

The best roll on the menu is the Izzy - y crab roll rempura'd. Best roll not on the menu is the Aggie - tempura shrimp rolled in king crab covered in a y sauce.

For those afraid of raw food many rolls come with smoked or cooked seafood. Just ask the waiter to point out the ones that are cooked.

With a Korean wife, I eat ALOT of Korean and other asian foods. I've also been to Korea, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Singapore so I know a little about authenticity as well, not much, but some.

As far as I can tell, San Antonio doesn't have a high quality Chinese restaurant. The Chinese is very Americanized, typically using too much sugar and MSG. If someone knows of one please let me know. If I had to pick one, it would be Wang's Garden at Blanco and 410 in the business park behind Denny's. Semi-authentic and above the norm in SA. The only Chinese restaurant in town that knows how to make Hot and Sour soup properly.

Korean: Go Han Jib. Rittiman & I-35. This is easily the best Korean in town. Family owned and operated, high high premium on quality. You usually need to make reservations on Fri and Sat.

Thai food: Thai Chili. Thousand Oaks & Nacodoches. Chef Chai is the coolest dude. Born and raised in Thailand, went to culinary school here and blended styles. Very outgoing and friendly. We go here most often. It is sooooo out of this world. He is not afraid to crank up the heat either. Get your dish at 15 or higher and it's barely edible it's so hot. That's how I love it.

Anyways...

Someone in Austin help me out here...

I remember Dudley and Bob (with Charlie Hodge) talking about a Sushi Bar where they have a karaoke night and the owner gets smashed out of his gourd on saki and starts talking on the microphone to all the women in attendance. Sounded like a hoot and a half. Anyone ever heard of it?

[CosmicCowboyXXX]

have heard Koi Kawa is good but haven't been there yet. I do know it is very pricey.

Koi Kawa is very good but I didn't think it was that expensive. I go at lunchtime and it is definitely cheaper than Sushi Zushi...

[ClintSquint]

I like that place on stilts at 410 & Callaghan.

Also the place on Broadway. Hung Fung?

[Hook Dem]

Hung Fong Clint. Meet ya there sometime!

[MannyIsGod]

sushi zushi was pricey. 35 bucks for 2 people on friday,and we didn't have all that much. i've gotten used to eating cheap i guess, cause that's not all that bad. maybe i'm just cheap.

it was good however, especially the eel.

[Tommy Duncan]

Whatever you do, be sure to limit your intake of sake bombs when you eat sushi. That is, unless you want to have the sushi revisit you later that evening.

Also, stay away from the Sushi Pimp in ATown. Dude's an ass.

[Spurminator]

I can only eat sushi when I'm drunk. And never as one of my three meals.

[Blood Dong]

With a Korean wife, I eat ALOT of Korean

No pun intended?

[spacefish206]

Chinese with a lot of sugar and MSG? I pity you people.

Those who can't chow down raw fish, try the tempura and temaki's...

I like the food in the Philippines and Malaysia, they're more diversified and the food, even if they're Continental/American/Chinese/Japanese/Italian/whatever, carry on them the local flavor.

[mstexmex]

Sushi, is the greatest EVER!!!!

one thing about Vegas, We have the best All-u-Can-Eat
sushi bars!!! It cost 25.00 usually for an hour.

my favorite is yellowtail, its like heaven.
I ate at some Sushi place in the colonnade last time I was back home, it was pretty good.
For Desert try Strawberry Moochie.
It's a Japanese ice cream that is off the hook!!

[SlayerMin]

As Blondie4Spurs stated, not all sushi is raw. Many rolls have cooked meat or no meat at all.

Sashimi is raw. I never tried raw fish until I moved to LA. It took me a couple of meals before I acquired the taste for it. Now, I love it.

But I still can't eat some of the other side seafood dishes that accompany sushi and sashimi. I even tried a live prawn when I moved to Cally. This one restaurant out here brings you a live prawn and you have to kill it with your hands. Then you dip it in a sauce or wasabi with soy sauce and eat it. I have only tried that once. That was a trip.

I went to a Chinese Christmas party in SA once and they served some authentic Chineses dishes. One dish was really weird. It was a platter of small hands. Needless to say, I didn't eat any of that dish. I think they said it was monkey hands but I am not sure. They did look like monkey hands.

Thai e

I was at the Forum just now and saw that....is it any good?

[Blondie4Spurs]

Thai e is pretty good. I've only been there once.

I like Thai chile also, but Thai Cafe is my alltime faorite. They have a slammin dinner buffet now on Fri and Sat.

Sampongs over on the northwest side - on fred I think - is very good also.

[MannyIsGod]

i had sarika's today, on fred and medical. good stuff.

[Blondie4Spurs]

Sarijas is good too I just don't get over that way very often.

I LOVE phillipino food but there aren't any restaraunts in SA.

[CosmicCowboyXXX]

Sarikas is awful. Don't go there. ever.

it's hard enough for me to get in there for lunch now...don't need you guys filling it up...

[CrazyOne]

There are three places I know where you can get Filipino food in SA. Oriental Cuisine on Bandera and Wurzbach (otherwise known as Sari Sari, the name of the store that is part of the operation.) Lily's Bakery in the shopping center on the access road of 410 just south of Marbach. It's mainly a bakery and store, but they keep about 3 or 4 dishes cooking each day. On the far northeast side, just a few blocks from the entrance to Randolph AFB is M.Y. Chockdee. They opened up a restaurant in the store recently.

[Useruser666]

On a semi-related note, China Rose just got busted by the kitchen cops.:vomit

[MannyIsGod]

[MannyIsGod]

[NeoConIV]

www.thaichili.net

pretty good site, he has some recipes...

[Flea]

SW, I ordered take out once at Thai e and it was pretty good.

[CosmicCowboyXXX]

OK...did Goros for lunch today...

I had a very mixed review...

All the actual sushi was very good but the lunch specials were very dissappointing...the glass noodles on one dish were virtually inedible...rubbery and sticky...even using a knife and fork they were almost impossible to eat...trying to get a bite resulted in picking up a glob of stuck together noodles that stretched to more than a foot without releasing...we eat glass noodles frequently at thai restaurants and that is NOT the way they are supposed to be...the chicken on another meal was very poor quality...grissley, tendony dark meat that was very rubbery...like maybe boiled drumsticks?...both meals were so bad that the people I was with wouldn't eat them...they just ate sushi...the miso was ok but nothing to write home about...

but...like I said...the actual sushi was very good...we had six different rolls and all were OK...

when the waiter asked how our food was we nicely explained the problem with the two dishes and they were obviously uneaten...surprisingly he didn't even comment or apologize...and did not offer to comp them or offer anything (free dessert, etc.) to compensate...he just ignored the feedback and brought the bill.
