It's a no for me. My guilty pleasure is sneaking in a delicious General Tso Chicken, but I feel…read morelike the food here just isn't worth the time. I wasn't really sure what I wanted at this food court so I opted for this place. Got myself a 2-choice meal (two mail meats) and unfortunately it just wasn't good. It tasted very old... reheated from the day before with an aftertaste of old oil as well. I don't expect too much when it comes to fast Chinese, but I do want food that doesn't taste days old. On top of that they asked what sauces I wanted, and said hot sauce and they charged me $.60 cents for it. No big deal, but does make you say, really? For a tablespoon of hot sauce? Anyways, stick with the teriyaki chicken next door and skip this one.

East side and west side - which don't talk to each other (1 of 2)…read more In this metro area, there is a sharp divide in that what is west of downtown and what is east of downtown don't tend to mix. It could be the distance, but that's no excuse since the freeways don't see traffic like the heavily trafficked cities in America. It's also that it's provincial! I was visiting a friend who lives in this very community on the west side and, since we sometimes visit the same restaurants, I dug up Arashi, located across the street from manicured Stepford-centric Crocker Park. Crocker Park is not a park, but a somewhat upscale mixed use retail-office-residential development. Arashi is a long-standing Japanese restaurant. I suggested it in part because I don't often eat Japanese food. Also, my friend has a few dietary restrictions and I am not a nutritionist. Eating Japanese food for lunch met with approval. As for me, I just avoid the few things I've known to have a negative effect on my digestive system as well as spicy food, the latter of which I flat out despise. They feature sensible lunch combinations. One can pick from the hibachi section of the menu or the regular section. We chose the exact same thing - hibachi chicken lunch - except that my friend had the mushrooms omitted. The chicken platter comes with rice and vegetables as well as soup. I also ordered the tea service. The latter is not free of charge like it might be in some Chinese restaurants. All of the food was very tasty. As for the soup, we ordered the miso soup and the onion soup. My onion soup was delicious. The problem, with which my friend concurred, is that the soup bowls were small. I could have had three times that amount of soup. I could have eaten more of everything! There is portion control at work. The interior of the restaurant is simple and tasteful, with only small hints of ethnic flavor. The regular restaurant is outboard by the windows, the room with the hibachi grill is inboard, and there is a bar between them. They have sushi and there are people who will order that, but I'm not one of them. The service was polite and got the job done. The pricing for the lunch specials seemed about right. My friend, who has lived in Europe for years as well as Asia for a few months, said arashi meant something but forgot to follow through. I looked it up and arashi means a storm or a tempest. From my L.A. days, I only know about 20 or 30 Japanese words, two of which have to do with climatic or geological matters - yuki and jishin. Yuki means snow and some Japanese women have this name. Jishin packs a meaner punch - it's an earthquake. So, rather than experiencing a jishin, I'd rather weather a fictitious storm (arashi) here and have a reliable low-key Japanese lunch.

DON'T GO HERE - BODY SHAMING CHEFS & BAD FOOD…read more The place was dirty -- sticky tables, sticky floors. But the worst part? The hibachi chef came out and immediately started insulting everyone at our table. He called me a "stupid white girl," told my friend she was chubby, and asked another friend if he was a guy or a girl because he has long hair. It was transphobic, body-shaming, and straight-up mean. He kept trying to play it off like it was a joke or say "Oh, I don't speak English," like that somehow made it okay. It didn't. The whole experience was uncomfortable and humiliating. And to top it off? The food wasn't even good, tasted like plastic. Absolutely never going back - no one should.

Thankfully, the disposable plates were gone and replaced with proper plates once again. The dinner-time sushi was great. A good selection of rolls as well as some nigiri and sashimi. All of the sushi tasted fresh, and being a buffet, I, of course, went for seconds. The cooked seafood options were delicious as well. I liked the frog legs, shrimp, mussels, fried flounder, and calamari. The Chinese-American staples like the egg roll, potstickers, Chinese donuts, and mango chicken were OK. I was a bit disappointed with the lo mein. Not as flavorful as I remembered, though it wasn't bad. In spite of the fact that I was stuffed, I went for dessert. I got a slice of lemon bundt cake. New to me were the tubs of green tea and red bean ice cream, which I was delighted to see. Now $21.99 per person for dinner, which I still consider to be worth it. They do now automatically add a 12% gratuity, which I'm fine with, as I typically tip 20% anyway. The service was friendly, and the staff was quick to clear away my used plates and refill my glass of water.
