Paul and I love sushi. We don't go out to eat much, but when we do, it's usually for sushi. Our favorite place to go is Tokyo Diner, which is right down the street from our house.
Tokyo Diner has good sushi for a fair price, the restaurant is never busy, and it's BYOB. We have had the same waitress at Tokyo for years. At first she wasn't very friendly with us, but after going for awhile and tipping well, our waitress started to be nicer. She would still laugh when I asked for a fork, but it was more like she was laughing with me, not at me.
For the past couple months, our waitress wasn't at Tokyo Diner. We didn't think much of it. Then this past week we tried a new sushi place called Akita's in Lemoyne. Guess who was there!? Our waitress! She was excited to see us and we were excited to see her. She said she's been working at Akita's for a couple months and the sushi is so much better. (We agree it's better, but also a little more expensive. You get what you pay for!)
Halfway through our meal, I told Paul we have to ask the waitress what her name is. I suddenly felt guilty about not knowing. So when she came over to check on us, we asked.
Her name is Megan!
We were floored! All this time our sushi waitress and I shared a name. What are the odds!?

Do you like sushi?
What's your favorite roll?
I love anything described as "crunchy" or that has "special sauce"!
Also eel, salmon, avocado, and roe are AMAZING!

That's awesome. Megan is a good name and that's cool that you found each other again! I love all kinds of sushi. We don't go a lot (probably just because we don't really eat out a whole bunch). I suggested to Rick that we order in on NYE since we have Annie and probably won't want to go out!
ReplyDeleteOrdering in and spending NYE with Annie (okay and Rick) sounds so lovely! :) I kind of want to go OUT this NYE but where to go!?
DeleteNormally Rick and I go to an afternoon movie and then early dinner and home (I never stay up to midnight). I am completely fine with staying in this year...I am in LOVE! Does your area have fun things going on for NYE?
DeleteI think they do. We have a casino nearby so that could be fun. Honestly I should start looking into it now!
DeleteThat's so nice you found Megan!
ReplyDeleteI always have to ask for a fork at asian restaurants too and I would say 70% of the time the waitress or waiter will chastise me for it. I'm like I WAS ADOPTED by American parents! I can use chopsticks but it's not a pretty site, and it's so much more comfortable to use a fork!
I don't even know how to use chopsticks and admittedly I never desired to learn how. I prob use my fingers more for the sushi and then scoop shit up with the fork. I'm real graceful when I eat...
DeleteThat's so funny! And convenient :) Gotta say, ewwwwww on sushi for me. Yes, I've tried!
ReplyDeleteOh no! Well that's fine, good sushi is kind of expensive so you are saving money!
DeleteI love sushi! And yes, I always ask for silverware at the Asian restaurant because I suck at using chopsticks. My favorite sushi is anything with tempura shrimp or crunchy.
ReplyDeleteTempura shrimp is very good. I love crunchy too. I feel like crunchy should just be it's on food group.
DeleteI think I know exactly who you are talking about!! Now will have to check out that sushi place!
ReplyDeleteLet's go!
DeleteHa. That is so cool that you found your old waitress at the new Sushi place :)
ReplyDeleteWe love sushi too!
The search party can be called off! What's your favorite kind of sushi?
DeleteWe like specialty rolls. Deep fried are my favorites.
