Lotus Roll – chopped scallop, imitation crab & avocado topped with tobiko, wrapped in cucumber
Went to Charcoal Sushi the other day and my friend recommended me to try the Lotus Roll. It is so refreshing and has a unique twist to normal sushi. No rice at all, so it feels like eating a salad almost! The cucumber is thinly sliced as well. There were a lot of other unique rolls here as well. They also have a barbecue option.

Here are some pictures of Japanese food I had in San Francisco! I stayed at a hotel in Japan Town, so my hotel was actually connected to a Japanese mall with a whole building of Japanese restaurants! Here are two restaurants that I ate at. They were all authentic Japanese owners and the quality of food was excellent.
Todai Sushi Seafood Buffet
Caesar’s Salad, Crab Legs, Variety of Sushi, Mixture of Shellfish
Mussels, Squid, Ribs, Mushroom, Prawn Tempura, Udon
Variety of Desserts including Cream Puff, Tiramisu, Cheesecake, Matcha White Chocolate, Creme Brulee
Green Tea Soft Ice Cream and Banana Whipped Cream Crepe
So I found that you guys really enjoyed my post from the Wicked Spoon buffet, so I decided to upload the rest of my pictures from buffets. I didn’t think they were as great as the Wicked Spoon, but they were still really good! Another buffet I went to in Las Vegas was Todai: The Sushi and Seafood Buffet located inside Planet Hollywood. They had a larger variety of sushi and seafood to choose from including crab legs! I also really liked how they had a section where a chef would make you udon instantly and you could choose what you would like as ingredients. They also had a dessert section where a chef would serve you soft ice cream and also instantly make you crepes with different fillings you could choose from. The variety of desserts were also great! A little pricey for the buffet, compared to the Wicked Spoon, but I guess seafood is expensive! The wait was also very long (at least an hour), but I had this on Christmas and Las Vegas is famous for those long lineups at buffets! If you want seafood and sushi in Vegas, this is the place to go!
I’m going to keep posting other pictures of food I had from a few places I traveled to this past year, so be sure to check back often!
Fresh Oyster
Assorted Sashimi
Uni (Sea Urchin) Nigiri Sushi
Had dinner at Octopus Garden in the Kitsilano neighbourhood. The sashimi was very fresh and the rolls were very unique. However, the restaurant is very small, so it’s hard to find seats. The restaurant is owned by Japanese, so the food and environment is very authentic. It’s a bit on the pricier side, but the quality is excellent. Overall, very satisfied!

Seasonal Carpaccio
Premium Nigiri
Aburi Chicken
Assorted Tempura
Green Tea Tiramisu Pyramid
Green Tea Opera
Had dinner at Miku Restaurant, which is famous for their aburi dishes, meaning flame-seared. The ambiance is great and servers were professional. It’s located on West Hastings. The price is on the pricier side, but the quality of the food is excellent. Definitely try their unique aburi sushi rolls!
