Samurai Restaurant

We decided that on our holidays that we would treat ourselves to a nice fancy meal at a restaurant. We have been thinking for quite a while about trying the Samurai restaurant and decided that this would be a great opportunity. What a fun experience it was! I admit that it is a little on the pricey side, but the atmosphere and food was really great.

We decided to have some sushi rolls as an appetizer. They have quite an extensive sushi menu, but I wasn't really feeling that adventurous and we didn't know how our bodies would react to raw fish, so we opted for the vegetable rolls. They were very tasty and refreshing with the cucumber in them and pickled ginger on top. I could definitely go back for more of those. And it was only $5 for 8 rolls. Then for supper I had mandarin chicken. It was cut up chicken breast with mandarin orange and pineapple pieces and sauce with it. And everything is served with stir fried veggies, miso soup, green tea and steamed rice. It was really neat to watch the chef cook the food right in front of us and at one point he made a really big flame with some onions and some sort of alcohol.

The only thing I would change is I am sure it would be more fun to go there with a group of 7 or 8 people and watch them cook all the food for that many people. As it was we did get a whole table to ourselves and the guy just cooked for the two of us. Jason also enjoyed his meal, he chose scallops and shrimp as his meat. I could definitely go for some more of those veggie sushi rolls. mmmmmmmm Anyone want to go there with us sometime??
