Jen and I went to Five Guys (Burgers and Fries) which opened up last week and boy oh boy, they have gooood burgers. I was surprised at how fresh and delicious and non-greasy it was, which was not at all what I was expecting. Fries were great too. It was crazy to me though how it took like, 9 people to assemble our burgers, it was a complete madhouse there. Though I'll chalk that up to it having just opened and the staff have no idea how to cope with how popular that place is yet.

I was pretty surprised because it seems like the owners are actually Japanese, even if they put a lot of Korean stuff on the menu. Sushi was pretty good and the sashimi proportions were insane (supposed to get 9 slices on one of our orders, ended up with 12, and each slice was basically 3x as large as a normal slice most places) which is probably just them chucking out inventory at the end of the night, but whatever. Some of their non-sushi things on the menu wasn't so great from what I could tell (I watched some other table eat a thing of sukiyaki, and it looked really incompetently made) but that's kind of par for the course for Japanese restaurants around these places - get what they specialize in (usually sushi) or bust.
They understand, but they're cheap and chintzy. This chintzyness isn't something Japanese chefs/owners are immune from either.dakazu wrote:Sashimi is supposed to be thick cut and most non-Japanese people don't understand.
Someone did long ago. They called it 'string cheese'. It's pretty good but not as good as you might imagine.LiQuid wrote: Next I think someone needs to invent hot dogs that are JUST cheese inside.
