Osome Sushi

We got stuck at home watching TV, one of my favorite shows “What Not to Wear” on TLC, so were too lazy to go out for dinner. Instead we ordered in because I had gotten this ad in the mail for Osome Sushi that offers free delivery.

Calling at 7:15pm, they estimated delivery in 45 minutes to 1 hour. It showed up around 8pm, so pretty good estimation (but then the place isn’t that far from our apartment, it beats trying to find parking over there then having to come home again). It cost us $26 though and the portions seemed a bit small.

Overall, the fish seemed pretty fresh and the wasabi was really spicy! (Just the way we like it!) Next time I’d like to go there for sit down service and see how it stacks up. They have interesting sake flavor:

Brother’s Korean BBQ

Leave a reply

We enjoyed some good Korean BBQ with our friends Susan & Ken. We
attempted to go to Brother’s Korean BBQ on Geary Blvd. The original
restaurant is #4128 and it was packed! There were groups waiting
inside and waiting outside. By the whiteboard where you sign your
name and the give the number of your party is this small white sign
that says they have a restaurant down the street at #4014 if you want
faster service with the same great food.

We smelled totally like charcoal and meat when we left the restaurant
but we left happily stuffed.

We ordered the soft tofu soup. It wasn’t very spicy but had lots of
ingredients and a good soup stock. Sorry the photo is a bit fuzzy,
it’s my cell phone camera.

We also had the kalbi and bulgogi. The guys helped to cook a yummy meal.

They threw in a complimentary plate of spicy squid. This was pretty
good, sweet and spicy.

We had soju and beer to top off our meal, the best accompaniments to our meal.

San Tung and Peasant Pies

Leave a reply

We’ve been craving San Tung dried fried chicken since we’ve been back. The sauce is sweet and spicy and the chicken is cooked extra crispy. They also use the sauce to make dried fried green beans with preserved vegetables. These are my two favorite dishes. San Tung was closed on Wednesday when we tried to go there so we decided to treat Ron’s family to the delicious chicken.

They were peeling the green beans while we waited for our take-out. It was a huge mound.

We ordered four portions of the dried fried chicken wings, with sauce on the side so the skin doesn’t get soggy.

The only problem with take home sauce is that not all the sugar quite incorporates so it’s a bit sandy.

Next to San Tung is a place called Peasant Pies. They have savory pies and sweet ones. I opted for a sweet one, the blueberry pear pie. It wasn’t very sweet which let the flavors of the fruits shine through. The staff recommended the savory over the sweet so I’m looking forward to tasting those in the future.

Koryo Sushi

We went to dinner with our friends Dylan and Erica at Koryo Sushi in Oakland. Dylan and Erica took good care of my car while we were away. We met up with them to pick up my car and to catch up.

We ordered the Crazy Monkey roll, Crunch Hamachi, and Shrek Roll. Dylan an Erica are vegetarians so they ordered the Veggie Dragon, Avocado, Black Mushroom, and Mega Veggie Roll.

The portions are generous and quite affordable. Our friends were glad we went as they’ve added to the list of places they can now eat.
