The Discussion:
I really like the fish (Fish Filets & Napa Cabbage with Chili Sauce) because it is really nice and spicy and savory. I totally agree! It's also cooked in this really nice way, so it's very tender and almost melts in your mouth. It is entirely gluten-free and it's amazingly good, for no soy sauce. The tofu (Ma Po Tofu) also is really nice (it IS! Its texture is also awesome) because it is also really spicy and I think you get the point - I like spicy things. The beans (Sichuan Style String Beans) taste really good and sweet. Well... I wouldn't call them sweet, exactly, but they're still excellent. :) They are not soggy, and are in fact pretty crisp/crunchy, but not burnt. They also have ya cai in them, which makes them especially good. The pork chop is really, really savory but there isn't that much meat sometimes. But they're really great and crunchy!! They are covered in some sort of crunchy thing - not breadcrumbs - that makes every single part of the pork chop WONDERFUL. Even the fatty-ish parts are WONDERFUL. They have a really nice decor and their food is really good. Especially the seafood and tofu.
I like the scallion pancakes (Scallion Pancake) because they are so yummy because they like me and I like them! Yeah... They're also really cute like mini pizzas. I really don't get that. How can something that isn't alive like somebody? But I get he's only a preschooler and doesn't exactly know that yet. And he is silly-ish. Like you said, he is a preschooler. He can't always fully express everything he wants to say... I think. But again on the topic of scallion pancakes, until we became gluten free, I loved eating them so much!!! I like fortune cookies because they are so yum yum yummy in my tum tum tummy. [I like the] way that they crunch. They're so tasty. He is so adorable when he acts like that and talks like that! OFF TOPIC!! I loved fortune cookies and scallion pancakes too until I went gluten-free too. I agree wholeheartedly. Ya, those are good!

Shogun
Just the Facts:
~website: http://www.shogunwestnewton.com/
~1385 Washington St, Newton, MA
~serves: Japanese food (including lots and lots of sushi!!!)
The Discussion:
I like all of the sushi. But not the spicy sushi. I only like the good sushi. I really, really love the ebi (shrimp sushi) because it is savory and really juicy and I love shrimp. I do not like the ebi sushi as much. It feels more dry to me. But there is a type of ebi that is covered in batter, so the outside is crunchy, and I LOVE that ebi. I would also like to highlight the spicy tuna and avocado rolls, which are FABULOUS. The are composed of avocado, cucumber, tuna, and spicy mayonnaise!!! They are very spicy, so if you don't like spicy things then these are not for you, but they are excellent for those who do like spicy!! [I like] the eel (unagi) because I like it so much! I used to love the eel but it has soy sauce in it and soy sauce has gluten. Yes. It is really juicy and flavorful, and because of that goes very nicely with rice. The only problem is that there are occasionally tiny bones in it, which can be annoying. But that doesn't happen all the time. I really, really, really, really love California rolls because of the crabstick which I love. (They have avocado, cucumber, and crabstick in them.) She loves the crabstick so much she takes out the avocado and cucumber and just eats the crabstick with the rice! It's crazy!!!! I always take out the avocado because it is bland and I don't like the texture. Well you can put wasabi on it!!! And the texture isn't that bad, surely... Well I appreciate you eating it for me and you still have to pay me fifty cents for eating a whole piece of avocado. >:( Anyways, let's stay on task. Alaskan rolls (cucumber, avocado, salmon) are also pretty good, if a bit bland. Wasabi helps a lot, though. Also I like the dumplings (shumai, gyoza... there's more as well). YES! The shumai is awesome. You can pick from a shrimp inside or a pork inside. Personally, I like the shrimp more, but they're both still great.
The staff here is also very nice. Some of the waiters and waitresses will come over and have a conversation with you! But it does take a long time to cook. True, but many appetizers come fast. And it's always worth it. :) Still I have to bring a snack!
