Sushi Robot Breakfast Bento | $4.77
When Sushi Robot first closed down, I was sad! They were a great place to swing by to grab food after my early morning Don Q run for work. Well, they reopened in the mini food court on the side and I was elated! They are open early and serve up super cheap foods.
Richie’s Drive Inn Mini Mushroom Chicken | $10.14
Oh man, to watch Richie’s go down like this is sad. I know they changed ownership recently but I still wanted to give them a chance. My laziness loves that they have a drive thru option even though it’s a hot mess system lol. I decided to give their mushroom chicken a try this day. It’s basically their chicken katsu smothered with mushroom gravy. Was salty and not good. And their mac salad? OH THE BIGGEST HEARTBREAK. They used to have one of the best mac salads around, now they add big chunks of potato and olives? It’s so odd. Did not taste good. Their chili dog plate still seems to be good so I will probably just get my bro that from here on out since that’s his favorite.
Somen Cone Sushi
What is the official name for this dish? I made this for a get-together last week. Was a hit! Family loved it, office loved and the friends loved it! I’ve seen variation of this dish but I made it a little different. It has taegu, ocean salad, imitation crab, cucumbers, tropics dressing, etc. And you can’t forget the fresh sprig of cilatnro on top. What a pain to make, it’s easy to cook up but stuffing over 40 of these? It took like over an hour, my back hurt. Anyways, delicious!
my mom used to make somen salad sushi all the time before she moved to assisted living. I think only difference is no taegu and cukes.
So sad to hear Richies changed owners. I kinda remember he was one of the main cooks for Rainbow Drive Inn back when, hence the strong following. Potatoes in mac salad sounds ok but olives???? ewww.
I really gotta go back to that side court at Donki. Years ago I had bought bibimkooksu from Yummys there and when I got home, must have been a half a cup of sesame oil on the bottom…just swimming. Yeech. I hold grudges so never went there again even though I was tempted to try the mochi and bing su from the other places that opened, LOL
I wish I would see somen cone sushi at more pot lucks!
Yes! Richie’s was super good before so now I’m just sad. Oh my gosh! Was it yummys before? I think it’s now pearls!
Good to know about Sushi Robot. I was sad when they closed too.
Yeah! Go support them next time you go!
bummer about richie’s, was first introduced to the place when I worked for the State, I thought it was neat they had a drive thru
Well kat, if you want a trip down memory lane it’s probably the same exact drive thru with the same exact intercom that barely works lol
Hmmmm. Sushi Robot? Will check it out next time I go to Donki.
Ok let us know what you think!
