Speaking of Lunch Deals...

A few years back there was a sushi restaurant on the corner of S and 18th. I don't remember what it was called (I am sure somebody out there does). I remember it being good, but then it was gone and now it's Ju Hachi by Taka (was Taka the name of the place??).

Stacy and I hit Ju Hachi for lunch today and I wanted to pass on their lunch specials. I was originally going for sushi, but their menu was too good to pass up. For $8 you can choose one of the following items, along with soup, salad and rice, and for $11.50 you can choose two items.

• Tempura (shrimp and vegetables)
  
• Chicken Teriyaki
• Sesame Chicken
• Spicy Chicken Teriyaki
• Chicken Katsu
• Beef Teriyaki
• Sushi (five pieces, chef's choice)
• Sashimi (five pieces, chef's choice)
• BBQ Albacore
• BBQ Salmon

I had the BBQ albacore and the sesame chicken while Stacy had the same BBQ and the tempura. The portions were huge -- I really was shocked by the size of my albacore portion! Both my items were great and Stacy liked hers too. We were both stuffed for $12 each!

The dinner menu looks good too and I definitely want to go back and try some sushi!
