Yum!  If I liked cooking, I would definitely consider making that.  I went for Japanese food tonight.  Where is your favorite Japanese restaurant.  I looooove Japanese food. 


BTW, did you realize there is an ad in your post?  That is so funny.

I was there last night!  Our reservation was at 8.  That would have been so cool if we saw you there!

Yes.  It was full the whole time.  They wouldn't let us have a private table unless we were only eating sushi, but I don't know if that was because it was busy or if they always do that.  I've never been to Kiku before.  We have so many good Japanese places by me that I never ventured that far (not that it's far...).
