Hunt for Hibachi


Today Little Kat went over his friend's house to spend the night. He actually drove over there. Before he left, we read another chapter in our book. Took us almost an hour. But we got it done.

Kit Kat has a late lab at school on Fridays. So it was going to be just Momoko and I for dinner. We planned to go out for dinner. I figured we should use this as an oppotunity to find a new Hibachi Japanese steak house.

Our prior favorite Hibachi house closed down. Momoko used Siri to find the closest Hibachi. She also used Siri to guide our drive there. Siri was pretty much a fail at navigation. She took us the long way to go down the street. Then she told us to turn around when we were right in front of the shopping center with the restaurant.

This restaurant turned out to be a fail. We wanted a dine in restaurant where the chef comes out and cooks your dinner on a grill in front of you. This new restaurant Siri found was a take-out place. We passed on that and went to an old favorite of ours.

We took a long trip to Kobe Japanese Steakhouse. It is far away. And it costs a lot of money (our meal was $100 for the two of us). But it was delicious food. Plus the chef always puts on a show. We just need to find a cheaper version of this close to home. That's a tough assignment.
