Omakase
3.5
at Oki Sushi
-Seongsu, Seongdong, Seoul, Republic of Korea-
with LJY
Number One Fan LJY is in town! (Not really a fan anymore, can’t recall the last time that she left a comment, but with nobody else vying for the role (GK?), she retains the title.). Haven’t seen her in person since a brief dinner in LA (see 9.360 Teppanyaki Combination: Maine Scallops + Nova Scotia Lobster Tail).
We met up at the warehouse so she could check out my new workplace and had dinner afterwards at Oki Sushi.

The food was pretty good. But not as good as my first visit, when everything had seemed more seasonal and innovative (see 13.341 Omakase), whereas many of the dishes tonight were from the menu. Also, we didn’t even get to the main courses because LJY got full on the appetizers. (She also punked out after a single highball.)

This was so good!!! Esp with my first highball which I know was all the rage then but I hadn’t tried before.
highballs are no longer “all the rage” – just ubiquitous. even chinese joints have kaoliangjiu highballs, which are kinda gross.
