    Mikuni's isn't great IMO. But the hostess at the Roseville restaurant is a cutie. Haha.

    Man, a lot of you need to step up you Japanese restaurant game. In my opinion, real Japanese Restaurants are owned/prepared by a real Japanese person or someone trained in Japan.

    Check out:

    Blowfish in the Potrero/Mission District
    Koo in the Inner Sunset
    Kaygetsu in Menlo Park
    Ozumo in the Embarcadero
    Sebo in Hayes Valley
    Oyaji in Outer Richmond district
    Tsunami in North Panhandle


    We're talking sashimi that's so fresh it melts in your mouth. Try Uni with quail egg yolk on top, hamachi kama, or monk fish liver in pozu sauce. Get away from the tempura and the teriyaki, california roll crap!!!!

    SoleSearching - I'm with the ownership group.

    You gotta come out for dinner. We don't serve sushi, so I can't post its the best sushi spot in the bay but we have a mean ahi poke that rivals some hawaiian restaurants.

    I'd still say that even if I wasn't involved.

    Let me know if you ever head out there.

    Thursday night we usually have a live band. This Thursday One Struggle is performing. They're a 6 piece hip hop/soul band.

    You can check out all the event listings on our website www.polenglounge.com

    It's updated pretty frequently.

    Back on topic...if you're out in San Carlos, Ganko Sushi has some pretty fresh sushi. Its a quality not quantity kind of place.

    Off topic...

    Right on, deereel. I'll let you know. My homegirl Janet Barena says her cousin is with the ownership group also. Good luck with the business bro!

    On topic...
    I haven't been to a really good sushi boat place. You have to keep in mind that some of the pieces sit there for a while and I've seen some discolor and get soggy. But when you're throwing down Sake Bombs, I guess it doesn't matter.

    I think we have the same taste in sushi. I'll need to check out some of your suggestions. Any particular a favorite?

    Thanks for the support. I wonder who your homegirl's cousin is? There aren't that many of us.

    Tim

    Let me know next time you head out there. I can't believe I haven't see you there because I'm there at least once a week.

    NorCal summit at Poleng? hmm....

    ZUSHI PUZZLE! Hands down!

    Aight im surprised this spot in San Francisco hasn't been mentioned. I know.. it sounds like some sushi spot owned by a mexican, but it is hands down some of THE best sushi i have ever had. They serve THE widest variety of fish that I have ever bare witnessed to. One time I was there, a japanese couple FROM JAPAN praised the selection and said that they couldn't even get the same IN JAPAN... no joke fellas this is the spot for sushi. You really need to sit at the Bar.. there is only about 6 spots and they fill up far far in advance so make sure to call in for reservations. Behind the bar you will find the most OG sushi chef, Roger, I mean he's on some real Godfather type sushi @#%$. PLEASE DO NOT ORDER OFF THE MENU. I know most of you go for the dragon rolls, rainbow rolls and other juiced up california rolls, but this is the stuff you can get anywhere. Tell Roger to make you the specials and he'll make you a special menu.

    MUST HAVES:

    1. Butterfish: This is the crack of the sea.. trust me
    2. Pencil fish: you probably will never have a chance to eat this fish, so try it!
    3. King crab remix: one bite, no dip... you'll understand when you get there
    4. KOBE REMIX: yes, this is kobe beef sushi. IF YOU ARE LUCKY Roger will have stocked an A1 grade Kobe steak. For those who don't know Kobe comes in A1-A5 grade(A1 being the best). Don't hesitate to ask roger for the certificate for the A1 grade kobe (yes these cows come certified!).
    5. Ocean trout: again another fish that is very rare to be stocked at sushi restaurants... its amazing so try it.
