Old Town Sushi, Dash and Hotaru

After having two meals in PAL – dinner and breakfast upon arrival,  James is still hungry arriving at 830pm San Francisco time 🙂  Good thing Pepe knows where to take us!  He told us that in Old Town Sushi there is always a line – so of course I am curious and agreed to try it

An extensive menu!

But I am here for the rolls! I love American Japanese rolls.  James doesn’t but I  like trying and having variety

I wish I could try all! 🙂

But Pepe told us that one of the popular rolls here is the Number 1 roll and true enough I saw almost every table order this! So I ordered it

Oh my gosh! This is the highest roll I have ever seen and tasted 🙂  I LOVE IT! 🙂  The mound is made out of kani.  I liked it but maybe next time I will ask them not to put anymore the hot sauce

View from the back!  We were three and we could not finish this 

James on his healthy mode – everything grilled

James likes Japanese because it’s healthy and yummy of course.  There are so many Japanese restaurants in the area! In one street there could be 10 🙂   

We went to Dash in San Mateo as recommended by our friend, Carlo. The place was full so they put us in the Sushi bar which was perfect for us

Anago for me! I love Anago! A bit different from the usual. James said they don’t usually serve you this long a piece, they only serve the prime parts.  But this is okay for me, I still enjoyed it 

Tuna sashimi for James!  Now I know why he lost 30 pounds!

Another recommendation by Carlo also in San Mateo

As usual James orders the most simple with no frills since it is healthier

 

 This is mine 🙂  Avocado is something I don’t really eat but it’s almost in every roll, the Americans love it and they say its very healthy.  It’s a good thing when it is together with other ingredients I do not get to really taste it 🙂  I got the Dragon roll which had tempura, unagi, avocado, mani and cucumber  

Close up! Oishi!
