Luke! My Man! After that rave I gave you on free preview day, I was pretty disappointed in the bait and switch on the belt. Well, that and the lack of free fugu.

OK, I hear you. Midtown Lunch has roared and you will respond. You have a reprieve, the ball is in your court. Papa Perrone and Cer Te were called out and they went above and beyond to achieve Midtown Lunch sainthood, you too deserve a chance. Hostilities shall be put on hold.

P.S. Excellent invocation of the term Spruce Goose.

P.P.S. Say ‘hi’ to that crew of hotties you have over there. From the wayne-meister. MEEEOW.

Tried to go to Yushi after work the other night and they were closed – a good 45 minutes before their advertised closing time. SO pissed!

Wayne, please stop dissing the conveyor belt.

I get it, a conveyor belt should be self service, but people also like their sushi super fresh.

So, this Spruce Goose is about to have a little make over that is absolutely revolutionary.

Watch this space and try and be nice, or we won’t invite you to the (re) previews :)

complete the fake asian food triple play

It’s about time a sushi place started serving something non-japanese. Too many asian restaurants and non-asian restaurants have been adding sushi to their menus appealing to wider ranges of customers.

@TC – yeah, I know all that… Just wanted to acknowledge in some way how funny it is that this otherwise Japanese’ish place decided to call their dumplings dim sum, which is 100% Chinese.

Yea, the exec chef and the owners aren’t Japanese. It’s like saying Ruby Foo’s and P.F. Chang’s are Chinese. :P

Rickshaw dumplings is okay but they’re already so damn expensive. To be more expensive than them, Errrghh.

The japanese make Gyoza which is similar to Chinese dumplings, Jiaozi.

Yushi is about as japanese as Rudy McBagel in a godzilla costume
