It’s my boyfriend’s birthday soon and I want to take him out to a very nice Japanese restaurant. I bought him a samurai style outfit, and had a dress sent overseas for myself, so obviously I’d like the restaurant to be a little more than a sit down and help yourself kind of place. I’m hoping for something as authentic as possible.

Fujiyama Japanese Restaurant
283 N. Milwaukee St.

and also an image for a logo for a japanese restaurant?
both being related to japan.
please help.

Try a scene depicting an old fashioned scenic Japanese village for the background. For the logo, try a kanjii related to the restaurant’s name in black, with a gold, silver, light blue, dark blue, or purple ring around it.

I need to furnish a Japanese Restaurant and am looking for Japanese themed furniture such as benches, sofas, chairs, tables, paintings, artwork, etc…. Looking for a contemporary asian look like most cool sushi restaurants. Does anyone know what furniture stores in the Los Angeles area or around Southern California sells this type of stuff?

I searched and I believe I found what you are looking for.

They say they are located in Los Angeles.

Here is their website:

Good luck, I hope I helped.

I am looking for a Japanese restaurant in Toronto, Canada, where you sit in the traditional screened rooms and you have to remove your shoes and sit on the floor to eat your meal.

I have found a lot of private screened rooms, but you don’t sit on the floor. Your feet go under the table that is recessed into the ground.

you could look into HIRO Sushi. I’m not sure if they have the whole works, but they are definitely the best in town for some upscale eating. HIRO used to be on Church, now has upgraded to King Street.

He is the owner/chef. Always was a large feed and wonderful time.

I ordered take out through the phone to a Japanese restaurant. The lady was very nice. I only paid exact. I live in Canada, BC and was just wondering if i need to pay tips next time

King-Lun, The last time I ate japanese I got a stomache ache.

I know most Americans go by what they can get here but I personally think its soooo bland tasting. horrible food. only some of the sashimi, rolls, etc. are good. Japan’s regular home cooking is SOOO much better and fufilling. Why do Americans still think that Japanese restaurant food is so yummy? It doesn’t offer much variety besides what they can give in rolls, sashimi, and sushi. and it’s blandly flavored.
Japanese people don’t eat in little lunchbox sets, and certainly they eat with more variety and flavor. i think the food is altered to American tastes because some Japanese food may be too extreme for Americans like pork heart, liver, etc. but its so tasty! i’ve also been there many times.

Hi,

I’m Japanese living in the US.

Well, I understand what you are saying. But this is America and many Americans don’t usually like authentic international food. It’s not only Japanese food but also any international food from other countries. I was very surprised that when I asked Americans what kind of food they liked, many of them usually answered Italian food. But usually the italian food they refer to is not authentic Italian food but Americanized Italian food that has lot of sauce, cheeses and chicken breasts…

Well…but even in Japan, we do the same things. We don’t usually serve real authentic international food but we adjust the flavor to the flavor that many Japanese people want to like to have.

But as a Japanese living in the states, I can’t go to a typical sushi restaurant and Japanese restaurant that many Americans like to go to because the food is so horrible. And I really hate this all you can eat sushi idea. It’s just lower the status of sushi. It’s like every body can eat sushi any time because it’s so cheap and I don’t like the idea at all. I feel like eating all you can eat sushi is like eating some cheap crappy sushi. But that’s actually what it is! That’s why, I just hate to see all these all you can eat sushi restaurants everywhere. And I hate many Americans say, " Oh, I had sushi today" so proudly. Probably they think eathing sushi makes them feel like eating some expensive food. But to me, eating all you can eat sushi crap is eating a hamburger at McDonald’s.

Anyways, you are right that many Japanese restaurants in the US don’t have decent Japanese food. I don’t know why they want to add red and yellow bell peppers, mushrooms, brocolli, cauliflowers, zucchini, yellow squash, and other wenstern vegetables that we don’t use for Japanese dishes. I really hate that. And also instead of using ketchup for some Japanese dishe, many Americans love to use tomato sauce…a lot of tomato sauce. I really don’t understand that. But they like it so I guess it tastes good to them…..

Forget those in the 5 star hotel, i’m looking for a Japanese restaurant a la carte not buffet.
