Cooking Taste Right (Munchies)

September 30th, 2008 · No Comments

You are gosh damn right it does. If you like Panda Express (shame on you, you should be ashamed) you would be insane not to like Cooking Taste Right. For the sole indisputable fact that it is, without hyperbole, one million times better. Maybe make that one hundred million times better. Or in other words, [...]

Tsunami

September 16th, 2008 · 3 Comments

One of the best sushi establishments in Utah, Tsunami now has three locations. The third and newest location, in the river bottoms at 106th south, in South Jordan, just opened, and I figured that would give me a good excuse to put up a review. The other two locations are Sugarhouse (their original [...]

Shoots

August 17th, 2008 · No Comments

A quiet little place in Provo’s Riverwoods, Shoots restaurant is a fabulous place to eat. I’ve been several times now, once with a business group, once with Joe, and once again with my family. I have to say that this is one of the two best Chinese restaurants in all of Utah County [...]

Sam Hawk Korean Restaurant

July 24th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Great Korean food in Provo? Who knew?
Sam Hawk Korean Restaurant is located in a seedy-looking strip mall in Provo. The atmosphere outside leaves much to be desired, but inside, it is a little better. They have some attractive decorations, and you can tell that they worked hard with what they have and [...]

The Happy Sumo (Provo Location)

July 12th, 2008 · No Comments

Good sushi is one of the few foods that can be as healthy as it is delicious. Those who know Joe and I know that we love sushi. I am enamored of the food not just because it’s tasty, but also because of how it looks and how it makes my body feel. [...]

Phở Green Papaya

July 12th, 2008 · 1 Comment

A recent find (introduced to me by Joe), Phở Green Papaya has become my absolute favorite Vietnamese restaurant. The ingredients are fresh, the atmosphere is classy, and the service is impeccable. There is an incredible variety of selections on their six page menu. Although I have by no means tried them all, [...]

China Buffet

July 11th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Before I exult the requisite and wholly deserved praise on China Buffet, I’ll start by sharing my brief challenge to classify it.

Is it a Sh–hole? No… There was no visible feces.
More of a Hole in the Wall? Close, but it’s actually quite large and maintains a stable brisk base of lunch customers

Four Seasons Hotpot and Dumplings

July 1st, 2008 · 2 Comments

While dining at a delicious, but unnamed here, Chinese restaurant, Jason approached the waitress to find out if there was anywhere in the county to get Dim Sum. She said no. There is not. A minute later, she returned and motioned us closer so she could tell us of Four Seasons Hotpot and Dumplings in [...]

Yapona — Japanese Cuisine and Sushi Bar

June 20th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Located in a desert (both climatically and culinarily speaking) American Fork, UT is not the kind of place you’d expect to find terrific sushi. Yapona, however, serves just that. Their specialty rolls and their nigiri and sashimi are always very fresh. I must admit, however, that I did have to send a [...]

Skippers – Smelly Fish Hole

June 16th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Jason believes we should be above reviewing chain and fast food restaurants. I am not above anything. Right next door to Jamba Juice there is (I mean was: luckily for all nearby residents it recently closed its doors) a Skippers Fish abusery. If what they sell can even be called fish.
