One thing I look forward to in summer, is getting to do all those things that I never ordinarily have time for during the school year. One thing that to-do list includes is all the restaurants I have been dying to try. And that list my friends is extensive.
Monday, my friend Angela and I went to Iron Chef House in downtown Brooklyn for sushi. I know all sushi places aren't the same (trust, I got sick from a place closer to school) so despite the reviews on Yelp and various other sites, I go in with not low, but not high expectations. Well this place may be giving my usual spot Elaine's, a run for their money. That. Good! It's a tiny little spot by the Brooklyn Bridge with a great atmosphere, quick service and a massive selection of specialty rolls. Heaven!!

the most delicious salad ever. crab meat, almonds, avocado and the most delicious cranberry dressing.
gyoza is always a must.
the feast
monkey roll
(shrimp tempura topped with avocado and three spicy sauces.)
tuna and spicy shrimp/salmon rolls. I realized i don't like tuna rolls as much as I thought I did:/
the after.
too bad this picture does not show the massive food coma that ensued.
Jealousss! I got a full time job right in time for summer so my free time has suddenly been cut in half!
ReplyDeleteAll of this food is looking too good right now! I've never had tuna rolls before, they look a bit scary to me :) Food coma's are a good and bad thing!
ReplyDeleteMmmm....I love me some good sushi :)
ReplyDeletesuuuushiiiii!! this looks incredibly delicious, but the sushi hangover is never pleasant lol

ReplyDeleteMmmmmmm delish! You know, I actually don't love tuna rolls as much as I thought I did either! I toootally prefer salmon!

So What If I Like Pretty Things
You are so fortunate to live near so many great restaurants. I love making pictures of my food before I eat it. I would love to try that salad and the shrimp tempura roll looked great! Debbie http://thriftygirlvintage.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteAww boo! Im enjoying it while I can before I start working.
ReplyDeleteIts gross! I mean to me it is. Its wayyyy too fishy. But yes food coma's are a blessing and a curse. I think they are worse when I have to walk anywhere after.
ReplyDeleteAmen! I dont ever tire of sushi.
ReplyDeleteNever! I honestly have never eaten so much sushi in my life. Im usually a one roll/8 pieces kinda girl!
ReplyDeleteIt definitely was. Im a sucker for taking pictures of my food, especially when the presentation is so nice.
ReplyDeleteDitto! I didnt even finish it, because I was gagging LOL. too fishy/salty.
ReplyDeleteAww thank you. No matter how much i have moments when I want to leave, I do have to be grateful for the opportunities that are readily available. Next time I go, Im going to see if I can get the recipe for the salad. If, Im successful, I'll send it your way :)
