Q: Yesterday I would have told you I have given up on AYCE sushi in Las Vegas. Not that I have given up eating AYCE sushi (I would rather give up sunshine), but that I have given up expecting anything better than marginally fresh, questionably acceptable slices of fish on a ball of tasteless rice. This is what we have come to expect from the AYCE joints in town - from joints that pre-cut the individual sashimi slices, letting oxygen start to kill the taste and texture, to places that serve a thin slice of lemon on top to mask the tell-tale signs of fish that is about to go bad. Today I am singing a new tune - watch me do my little happy dance (clap along if you feel that sushi is right for you). JJANGA has restored my faith in AYCE sushi and brightened up my whole year. I have once again found an AYCE joint that serves fresh fish (Rod my friend - if you're reading this, I watched them pull the fresh filets of Salmon out of the ice myself, so maybe they got your message). But the star of the day wasn't the salmon, or the yellowtail (which were both amazing BTW), it wasn't even watching Choo Choo perform with graceful precision - the star of the day was the tuna. Absolutely gorgeous to behold and a joy to devour, the tuna was just about as perfect as perfect can be. The same delicate quality of fish you can only find in some of the better pay-per piece sushi joints, with the added glory of a never-ending supply. (Oh, this has gotta be the good life, this has gotta be the good life.) When was the last time you remember an AYCE sushi joint serving eel that is still warm and fresh from the toaster oven and not cold because they precooked it to save time? When was the last time you remember Cajun albacore tasting like Cajun at all (has it ever)? When's the last time the garlic sauce on the garlic tuna made you go "Ooooo"? When was the last time they served you REAL wasabi at an AYCE? Huh? Go ahead, try to think of a time! Simply an amazing lunchtime AYCE, better than expected by far, and they managed to top off great sushi and great service with an AYCE price a couple of dollars lower than most everywhere else in town - money! (I gotta feeling, that tonight's gonna be a good night!) Anyone care to join me on Monday for round two?

Q: I adore places that transport you to another locale without even driving too far! One beautiful sunny afternoon, I asked a friend to have lunch with me at The Farm Kitchen. We only drove 5 minutes away from the office and we were on a farm at a picnic table enjoying a wonderful lunch. The line had already started to form for the lunch at the Farm. We walked into a little building lined with racks of local product to peruse while you wait to get your order started. For my lunch I chose the turkey curry sandwich, a slice of pecan pie and a lemonade. Everything was really tasty. I could have used more mayo on my sandwich, but that was a personal preference. The curry on the sandwich wasn't overpowering. It was wonderfully complimented by the sweet cranberries. The pecan pie was so good! My lunch pal left her dessert alone to dig into my pie! The lemonade was, lemonade. Not to sweet, not too tart. The Farm Kitchen is a great place to step away from it all if only for a lunch hour. The food is good and well made, and the setting just can't be beat!

Q: I would definitely agree with others in saying that this place is very underwhelming. For a place called "Fresh Mama" you feel like it would be vibrant inside or have peppy employees but it lacked both. My boyfriend and I had purchased their groupon and I'm glad I did, because I wouldn't be spending that much money there otherwise. I am a vegetarian, not vegan, and definitely enjoy some healthy food but my smoothie sucked. I'm just being blunt, here. I think I ordered the COCO CAT COW with banana, cacao, vanilla, coconut water & meat... I think. I honestly just remember the powdery taste of the shake and the bitterness. I figured that we had ordered one of the sweetest smoothies there but it really was gross. The waitress that was initially taking our order looked like she had no idea what was going on when we asked for a recommendation. That's when the second one stepped in and recommended the one we ended up getting. She had split the shake into two cups, one for my boyfriend and one for myself. Neither of us ended up finishing ours. I doubt I will be coming back, and if I do, I will avoid coming back when that first waitress is working. The first waitress really just didn't seem to know what she was talking about or doing...

Q: when in the niche for high end chef knifes place to be. They carry such a large fast amount. When I shop I normally can not get out of the place without spending no less then $200 but worth it. They carry such a range of knifes too witch is good for people in industry. When I am always looking for good stuff I go here. They also do sharpening. !
