Favorite restaurant / dish

In grave need of levity I fire off another off-off-topic thread:

What is your favorite restaurant and dish served there?

Despite my sushi fetish I still think the best (I can remember) is

Mama Kwan's Pad Thai

:tongue2:


MMmmmmmhhhhhhh

(did I mention I missed lunch today lol?)

Well.. I am a sushi fanatic too. I love unagi donburi and a bunch of sushi (salmon is my favorite but I like sea urchin and squid a lot too) the best Japanese restaurant around here that I know of is called Hayashi.

i'm up for sushi too. or anything off the grill! lol


how about a bp.net sushifest?

All this sushi talk is making me very very hungry.. bad thing about sushi is it isn't cheap!

I may be a little biased after spending two years in Thailand, but I LOVE Thai food!! :sweeet: If I had to narrow it down to one dish at one location (in the states that is) it would have to be the nam tog moo (direct translation - waterfall pig) at a place called the Thai Ruby. I also love most thai curry, massaman being my fav. Hmmm, I just got really hungry.....

Sushi Kimo - spicy scallop hand roll, which is the world's most perfect food

i like pizza from Davids Famous Pizza and Falafel

Gyros from a local greek place called Athens Greece! God I LUV THAT PLACE!

gyros are tasty, but too many places waay overdo the salt! I'm drinking gallons of water for the rest of the night..

Yomo Oko ( or somethin like that) it's a sushi bar that is AMAZING. I adore the whitefish tempora (even though that's not technically sushi), and they make a couple other rolls that are amazing (spicy tuna! mmm)


Yeah, it's def. one of those places you go b/c it's your birthday or something. Where the heck is the dollar menu in places like that :fishslap:

rice beens and a chicken taco-hold the sour cream-from Los 3 Amigos. yeah baby!!

Hands down, szechuan chicken from Hunan Garden! Best chinese food in town.

It really depends on where you go. There was a place in Illinois I hated! Not only were thier gyros too salty, but they used some type of salad dressing for the sauce rather than real cucumber sauce.

The place here in town is superb. I was aweful skeptical at first, but after finding out the place has been owned by the same greek family who opened it around 1946 or so and actually eating there alot, it has become my one favorite place in town to roam off to for a good authentic greek meal and time away from the kids with my hubby. Never salty and they always have cucumber sauce!!!!!!

Ohhh, there is a mexican place in AZ I soo miss.... called Filibertos...

there is a good mexican restraunt in Ontario, not far from here, and its totally awesome and authentic.

Tacos Cascabel and a Negra Modelo @ Cantina Loredo in Dallas, TX. I'm convinced they put crack in their food, it's that good.

Also, chicken fried steak @ the Prairie House in Cross Roads, TX.

There's a road trip with my name on it!!!! :P

Mexico Restaurant in San Bernardino, CA (great name, huh? =P)
bestest - chile relleno's - EVER

and oh their margaritas do not suck. /nod

("One medium Cadillac on the rocks with salt plz thx!")

I love this bacon cheese burger-w/ the BEST fries on earth w/ coleslaw, the best part about this place is that it is right across the street and it is really a fish store weird right?

But I thin kmy favorite thing is this chicken teryaki salad and a japanese place, my god it is amazing... and I don't like salad on;y this one

My favorite Restaurant is Moon Thai in Coral gables, Fl

They have a spectacular sushi bar (mmm....playboy rolls) and I love their crispy noodles, goes great with red thai chicken curry. yum!

I see a definite trend of asian food lovers here.. lol so I'm not the only one!

curly fries and the crunchy spicy chicken!!! w00t w00t. mmmm

oh yeah and my definite favorite CHIPS AND SALSA...ok now im hungry

I love Korean food, especially "Yuk Gae Jang" (Spicy Hot Beef, Veg. & Noodle Soup) and all the "Kimchi" you can put in front of me. I dont think there is a Korean dish that I dont like. Now if I only didnt have to travel 3 hours just to get to a Korean Restaraunt.

I must be in the minority. I call sushi .. bait. ;) :giggle:

The Creperie (sp??) had the most awesome ham and cheese crepes with maple syrup baked into the crepe. Finished with belgian waffles with strawberries inside. YUMMY!! I want to go back to Montreal just to eat there again.

:tongue2:

I love Thai, Greek, Italian, authentic Mexican and Indian restaurants :) Anything that would make you shoot flames out both ends is on my menu! :D

Hmmm okay I'm in the wierd minority here but as much as I love restaurants and wish we could get out for dinner more often lately, I think I love it more when I can either replicate the dish at home or tweak it a bit to our personal tastes. I'm a total Food Channel fanatic. Really sad when I sit in a restaurant thinking..."hmmm well this is nice but I could make this at home for a tenth of the price and hmmm I would have used this or that ingredient and a bit more pepper and dang but these portions are ridiculous and why is that waiter taking so long with it...." LOL

I must have way too much scots blood in me but I hate paying a lot for a little bit of nuthin!

Probably my favorite dishes all involve cream, cheese of some sort, pasta.....all stuff I know is not good for the waistline. Oh and don't even start on desserts...that's a sad failing of mine that I'd rather skimp on the main course so I can have some chocolate, nut filled, caramell, whipped cream thing that will have me hating myself for a week to come! LOL

Ooh yeah, I love cooking too. I've even made sushi at home a few times. My specialty is salmon teriyaki.

There was a little thai stand in germany that was awsome once she realized i could it there food like she cooked it for her family,the turkish version of the gyro over there is amazing, but still hands down good italian food rules.

All y'all sushi lovers out there, we are lucky to have an all you can eat Chinese/Japanese cuisine buffet down here close to Philly.....only $12.99, and they got at least 20 different kinds of sushi...and i don't mean the lesser quality stuff you usually have to settle for at most of these buffet places....this is the good stuff!!!

....favorite...huh....I LOVE FOOD!....no real favorites... I am a "Give it to Mikey" kinda person....you name it I have probably tried it...and would probably eat it again ;)

Theres this Vietnamese place a ways from here that has the best Pho Tai ever. Seriously, it's the best thing I have ever eaten. One week I went there every night for dinner and didn't tire of it. Plus it's very healthy. :D

You have no idea how jealous that makes me.. most asian buffets around here call having california rolls a sushi bar.. I want the real stuff!

I'm a HUGE sushi fan. Eel's my favorite, so when we get to go to Sumo San's in Downtown Richmond, we end up spending at least $50. O_O

Hey Vaughn...we need to go have sushi one night. ^_^

Oh. And Osaka's is pretty good and Kabuto's is alright. I LOVE the soup that they make. It's just...relaxing. O_o

Yes.. unagi (eel) is my favorite too.. I usually get it as my entree, and then some sushi varieties on the side. *drool*
