happy-sushi-dance!

I went exploring at lunch. I wasn't aware that my building is actually connected to the whole Illinois Center labyrinth.

I found a little hole-in-the-wall called Tokyo Bento Box, full of people slurping noodles. More than half of them seemed to be Asian, which is always a good sign when checking an ethnic restaurant. No specific menu - just whatever they feel like making today, and most of the noodle things and sushi boxes are in the $5-$8 range. Smelled yummy.

I know where I'M going next time I forget to bring my lunch!

Yeah now I'm even more jealous. Our DC office is connected to neat places like that- but Reno sucks. Nothing in this town is connected to anything else.

That restaurant sounds good! We have a really nice Japanese place near where I work, but it's pricier than that.

You know, [livejournal.com profile] wooisme actually bouth me a bento box for me to take food to work in! It's really neat! Haven't used it yet though. I haven't had left overs that quite fit the way it's arranged yet.

Er, that would be bought rather than bouth.

Like I told seamstrix - there is a place in this world for gourmet sashimi and also a place for decent california rolls for $4.99

I love those bento lunch things - all those little compartments. Way too fiddly for every day for me but they are sooo cool

There's a sushi place about 2 blocks from my new office. I don't know how expensive/cheap it is but I plan to check it out. Now, if I can just find a place that does chai I'll be a very happy woman.
