Midori Sushi - Not Another Onami or "To-Die" aka Todai (Encino)

Entrance

What I realized from listening to blog readers and writers was that most people don't actually read all the writing in a post. Me, being a lazy ass that I am (Cathy of Gastronomyblog can attest), will try this review as a quote on quote, photo review. Yes, for me, pictures equal 1000 words.

The menu at Midori is pretty extensive for an all you can eat sushi buffet. Supposedly, you have only 1 hour to eat as much sushi as you can for $20.95 for lunch and $25.95 for dinner and all day during the weekends. However, I've never seen them enforce the time and we've always left as full as you can possibly imagine. Now, the quality won't ever be Urasawa level, nor will it even be even as good as Hide Sushi (My first sushi experience in LA, in fact, my first ever meal in Los Angeles), but for what it is, it's pretty good.

I'm starting to write too much, but at Midori, you have a choice of various appetizers (get the yellowtail collar (hamachi kama)), nigiri sushi (raw fish on top of rice), hand rolls (I'd recommend spicy shrimp or spicy scallop), and a wide variety of rolls (Western style). Bring your appetite and expect a better sushi buffet than Onami and Todai. There are 3 locations in the greater San Fernado Valley. Cheers!

Hockey Hall Of Fame - My Date With Lord Stanley (Toronto, ONT)

Image
Entrance As we shift some of these review back to our neighbors upstairs, Canada, this is a way to introduce myself. Hi, my name is Danny, I'm a Panda, and I'm also a Hockey fan. Growing up in the United States, before becoming a foodie, a "gourmand," I've always been what you call a sport nut. I love Baseball, Football, Basketball, and heck, even NASCAR, but in the past 3-4 years, the sport that I've been following primarily has been Hockey, and my San Jose Sharks. All this was probably due to the nightly hockey conversation with my buddy Samuel, a hockey fanatic from Canada. One of the main reasons I decided on adding Toronto to our Canadian tour wasn't due to its food, but for me, selfishly, I wanted to see the National Hockey Hall of Fame. It's like going to Graceland for them Elvis fans. Here we go: Shot from Entrance Located underground in a small shopping center, the Hockey Hall of Fame was neatly tucked in a corner, though the Hall of Fame inte

Les Délices de l'Erable - Great Little Tourist Stop (Montreal, QC)

Image
Les Délices de l'Erable It's our last day in Montreal, and the last meal that awaited my buddies and I would be the main reason I had suggested Canadian trip in the first place, Au Pied de Cochon. Since we had to finish the smoked meat plate from Schwartz from the night before for breakfast, none of us were hungry and would rather save our appetite for the foie gras feast that awaited, thus we stopped by this rather lovely gelato and maple syrup shop while we were strolling around the streets of Montreal. Inside Les Délices de l'Erable This was a very clean and neat shop. You were able to not only purchase the various flavors of gelato available, but also maple syrup to take home. I would have to say though, an French speaking Asian girl was pretty hot! Various Flavors of Gelato While it may not be the best gelato I've ever had, it was definitely very good. One of the flavor I chose was maple syrup and I love the flavors in the gelato. Even though the temperature in Mon
