Japanese Food

[rpvol]

We have had a running debate here wheere I work about which Japanese steak house is better, Wasabi, or Kanpai Tokoyo. What do you guys think? I prefer Kanpai.

 

[onevolfan]

I've eaten at Wasabi a couple of times and the first time I ate there I thought it was really good, but not so much the second time. Never been to Kanpai Tokoyo.

 

[rpvol]

It just seems to me that Kanpai is more authentic. They salt and pepper everything to death at Wasabi. Don't get me wrong, it is good too. I don't think I have had any bad Japanese food.

Kanpai has the better sauces.

 

[WA_Vol]

I haven't been to a japanese steakhouse in a while, this is making me hungry. They just opened a Wasabi here, didn't realize it was a chain, and I thought it was primarily sushi.

I used to love the one in Savannah, can't remember the name.

 

[rpvol]

Kanpai has the better sauces.

No doubt about that. I love the Mustard sauce.

No doubt about that. I love the Mustard sauce.

That salad dressing is pretty mean also.

 

[doozer]

i think it's actually Kampai, with an M instead of an N.

 

[doozer]

i stand corrected. i looked it up. it is Kanpai.

and the best in Knoxville.

I live in Huntsville, and I personally like Mikato's the best. Shogun will do in a rush

My company is based out of Greensboro and there is a place over there called Fire Sticks (i think). It is real good. I actually met some Vol fans from SC. there one itme while I was visiting. We sat at the same table. Had a couple of carafe's of Saki and toasted the Big Orange. Good times.

It was the first Japanese steakhouse I ever tried when I was a kid. My brother was going to UT and when the parents and I would go visit, it was where he wanted to eat.

I haven't been in years.

There is a good Japanese steakhouse about 5 minutes from my house. We love going there on occasion, but with two of my kids eating the food, too it gets a tad expensive...that and the fact I can't resist the filet, shrimp and scallop dinner.

 

[doozer]

it's definitely pricey, but i can usually get two meals out of it.

what gets us is all the Saki we drink.

 

[rpvol]

yea leftover kanpai is a great hangover cure the next day. the next time you get saki, get a shot of chambord and put just a drop in the tip of the straw to put in each cup. it will give it a sweet taste. it's real good.

 

[doozer]

trust me, i already know the saki plus chambord trick.

 

[rpvol]

trust me, i already know the saki plus chambord trick.

i heard that. it's good stuff.

I would just like to point out that I am hot like Wasabi when I bust rhymes.
