Zen On Ten Restaurant Review – Westside, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions] 5

Posted by foodiebuddha on October 04, 2009

Adam (aka guest blogger dude) and I were milling around the Westside a few days ago looking for a place to eat lunch at. Having spent the previous day gut busting around, I had a hankering for some sushi. A cheerful banter arose, so back and forth we went until Adam suggested Zen on Ten, an Asian bistro and sushi bar located in the still fresh Ten Side apartment complex.

Having only seen the place in passing, and with no real concrete idea of what to expect, we both settled in on the assumption that Zen on Ten would fill the role of the fast dining sushi option; in other words, what Moe’s is to the burrito, we THOUGHT Zen would be to sushi. Turns out, we were pleasantly wrong.

Midtown Restaurant Week Hits The Town 2

Posted by foodiebuddha on August 29, 2009

Another week comes, another “restaurant week” hits. Atlanta’s Midtown Restaurant Week, which drops for the 4th time, starts tonight (August 29) and runs through Sunday, September 6th. This one features a whopping 43 restaurants (if my math is correct). In what has become formulaic normalcy, you show up at one of the participating restaurants, ask for and order off a special prix-fixe menu, and get three courses for $25. Don’t forget: alcohol isn’t included, and neither is tax and gratuity. If you want the full on onslaught of information, check out the Midtown Restaurant Week official website. Otherwise, just keep reading for the list of menus and restaurants!

Ra Ra Goes The Sushi: Ra Sushi Restaurant Opens – Midtown, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions] 2

Posted by foodiebuddha on July 02, 2009

Light years ahead of Ru San’s, miles behind the likes of MF Sushibar and Sushi House Hayakawa, the Ra Sushi chain has expanded into the deep south. To establish their foothold, Ra has setup shop in the sparkly glowy 1010 Peachtree Building in Midtown Atlanta. RA’s menu is splattered with words like volcano, Godzilla, and crazy … so if the decor didn’t already tell you … authenticity ain’t the name of the game.

Before we begin, let’s get a few things straight. As I said, any jackass walking in here who expects an “authentic” experience should have their head examined. Just because it ain’t hometown Tokyo doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to enjoy it. But … then again, just because it’s there … doesn’t make it good
