"I was contracted to work on the site being developed across the street from Bayview Plaza, and during lunch, I needed two of two things: Food for my belly A bathroom for my smelly My choices were Soo Fong, Subway, or the HR Block at Bayview Plaza. Like the movie Yojimbo, I threw a stick into the air, planning to walk in the direction that it was pointing towards. Soo Fong was my fate, and if I could, I 'd give that stick a promotion. Lemme tell you about this Soo Fong. I walked in and was allowed to sit anywhere I so desired. I felt like Mufasa every where the light touched was part of my kingdom. I sat myself down, and immediately someone I deigned to be the dai lo of the restaurant started asking me about my haircutting habits: You shave your head? Yes. Man, you use razor? Yes. Every day? Yes. Ahhhhhhhh. You are crazy. You braver than me. I do the buzz. Razor? You are brave. Let me tell you, nothing makes you feel yourself more than having your pick of a seat, and then someone commending your bravery for shaving your head every morning. My middle name must be Everest, because I 'm the top of the world right now. Normally, my first order at a Chinese place would be scrambled egg and beef over rice, but with my ego riding high, I was feeling a little spicy. The waitress who took my order was wearing a Street Fighter 2 Dhalsim shirt, so I took this as the code that I needed some of that yoga fire. I ordered some of the Mongolian Beef over rice, but make that rice fried. PERFECT. The beef was tender, the beef was spicy. There was a decent amount of vegetables, but not too much (the way a lot of restaurants try to fill Mongolian Beef orders). The spice went from quarter circle jab to half circle fierce, because it went from yoga fire to yoga flame, but it was worth it. The Soo Fong website (soofongtogo.com) says Best food, good food, but I think they 're wrong there. Best food, best food. 10/10, would Soo Fong again."

"I first discovered Ichiban years ago when they offered a wonderful 50% off deal on sushi, which made me an almost weekly customer. Sadly, Covid and inflation have caused that deal to go away, but even so the food is still very good, and the prices are in-line with the other sushi restaurants in the area. The restaurant does look a little threadbare though these days and could use an update. Also, while their menu is sufficiently diverse, they don 't offer any daily or seasonal specials that might make things a bit more exciting. That said, I really enjoyed my meal tonight. The staff and chef remember their regular customers and treat them well. When I came in, I was welcomed warmly and greeted by name, even though I haven 't been there in at least six months. To start, I had a simple green salad with the ubiquitous ginger-carrot dressing that can be found at virtually every Japanese restaurant in the country. The greens were crisp and fresh, and it was a nice way to start the meal. What came next was both unexpected and quite delicious. I was presented with a complementary appetizer from the chef that 's not on the menu. It was strips of fish tempura (some kind of white fish) that was drizzled with eel sauce and spicy mayo and topped with masago. For my main course I chose a double portion of their California Earthquake appetizer, which is essentially a California Roll that 's been coated in tempura batter and deep fried. It 's served with the same eel sauce and spicy mayo drizzle that was on the complimentary appetizer. This is a dish I 've been ordering for a long time, and truth be told, it was what I came to Ichiban for this evening. I 'm normally not much of a sushi roll guy. I prefer traditional nigiri sushi, but I 'm a sucker for this roll. The combination of the hot crispy coating, the creamy avocado, the crunchy cucumber and delicate kani, along with the spicy/sweet sauce is borderline addictive. I can 't really recommend Ichiban as a destination restaurant, but if you live or work nearby, or even if you just haven 't been to Ichiban in a while, it is definitely worth checking out."
