Can you guess which Bunchkin(s) we were mocking in the photos below?

Tekka Japanese Restaurant – The *Hidden* Japanese Restaurant – Jonas’ Birthday Dinner #5
Tuesday, January 15th, 2008
It’s so small and so popular that if you’re not among the first group (seats about 9 people) to eat there when it opens some time after 7pm, your best bet would be to come back around 9:30. It’s become so popular that people have to purposely give it bad reviews so others won’t go there.
If there’s one Japanese word you should know before eating at Tekka, it’s “omakase”:
Omakase (お任せ) is the Japanese word meaning “entrust” or “protect”. It is most commonly encountered at sushi bars, where the customer may request お任せお願いします omakase onegaishimasu (onegaishimasu meaning “please do me the favor”) to give the chef authority to prepare what the chef wants to make for you at the price that the chef sets.

Brian and I were charged $50 each for all this food (and a little extra for the hamachi kama):

Kappa – The *Secret* Japanese Restaurant – Jonas’ Birthday Dinner #2
Tuesday, December 18th, 2007I bet most people have never heard of this restaurant. It’s a hidden resteaurant in Japantown – on top of Denny’s, inside Club Nishiki and through the sliding wooden door – that only offers about seven (?) counter seats. It sounds like a hole-in-a-wall restaurant, but it’s actually very nice and clean. It’s owned by a Japanese couple (from Japan) – the husband cooks, the wife serves. $85 for a pre-fixe menu that looks a little something like this:
The Holy Grail … of sake!
The Cream of the Crop: Monkfish liver pate – Sounds disgusting but tasted great.
Fit for a King: Dungenness crab salad that left me wanting more
