What's Cooking in America??? No it is not a question...it is a website featuring reviews of local restaurants from around the country. In this particular case, the Portland, Oregon Metro Area. I have written about a wonderful sushi Izakaya Bar called Syun Izakaya Japanese Restaurant (map) located in, of all places the basement of an old library in Hillsboro, Oregon. The website described the restaurant:
Honestly, this is so authentic you might forget where you are. A lady sitting near the entrance to the bar told me she was from Hawaii and had been to the bar at least twenty times since she recently moved to the area. Honors include mentions in magazines such a Bon Appetite, Zagats and a ranking as one of Portland's top 100 restaurants.
We were told when we walked into the bar that we would have to wait 45 minutes without reservations...a wait we were willing to endure. But, because people at the bar were leaving, we were seated within a few minutes. I have decided that we will always sit in this same place. We had front row seat for preparation and presentation of the food. It will take us a few times at the restaurant to learn the menu but they have variety selections that make it possible to taste a little of everything. One of those choices was just $10.00.
Saki Tastes...yum!
