New Miyoshi Japanese Cuisine

This is a local Japanese/Chinese Restaurant that used to be called "Miyoshi" when it had different owners.  Back then you got sweet carrots and a small salad with every entrée.  Now (to my knowledge) it has the same owners as another restaurant in the neighboring city; the menu is almost identical.

I haven't been too crazy about the Japanese food from this place, and the Chinese food is no better.  I tried the orange chicken dish and the chicken had thick crust, dark meat,  and tiny orange peels which made it bitter.  Fast forward to a month ago, I decided to order some Japanese from here for lunch one day.  However, this time I was surprised by how good it was!

A colleague of mine decided to try this place, and placed his order the same time I did.  We then went together to pick it up.  He did have a mishap with the workers misunderstanding what size shrimp sauce he wanted.  They actually thought he wanted 3 of the big cups of shrimp sauce...and charged him for them, even though he traded them out for the small cups.  Oh well, we got back to our workplace to wolf down our victuals.

Hibachi Steak

Cream Cheese Wontons

This food was very good and much better than the last few times I had it.  The cream cheese wontons were fried almost perfectly.  There was nothing I disliked about this dish!  I was able to get 2 meals out of my order too!  My colleague let me try one of his pieces of sesame chicken and that too was pretty good.  I will definitely be going back for my Asian cuisine craving fixes.  As for my rating:

Hardee's Classic Double Cheeseburger

After hearing about this burger and seeing the pictures, I decided I had to try one.  Since I have never tried an In-N-Out burger with the special sauce, I figured this would be a way to get close to seeing how it tasted.  At my local Hardee's location, I ordered the Hardee's Classic and asked for one slice of cheese.  Thankfully the employee who took my order obliged and I got my burger as requested.  Just like some food reviewers don't like pickles, or onions, or tomatoes ("red rings of death"), or lettuce ("crunchy water"), which are all fine to me, I myself am not a fan of the yellow squares of processed plastic.  However, I figured one piece would be necessary and enough to get the total experience.

The burger is simple, yet tasty.  It has two patties, two slices of cheese (or in my case, one), lettuce, and tomato.  However, the star of this star burger is the special sauce (thousand island-ish) with grilled onions on top.  Upon tasting this, my first bite forced the sauce and onions up through the middle of the top bun and into my nostrils. Yum.  So I had to clean my face before proceeding to enjoy this still enjoyable burger.  I was able to finish it with no further incidents, with some fries and some sweet tea.  I recommend a soda with this burger.

As for a rating for this burger, first of all, I would definitely get it again.  A rating scale based on 5 doesn't really describe this burger.  So out of 100, I give it an 85.  It would get a 90 grade, if the top bun didn't fail.  Another thought is that Carl's Jr. evidently has had this same exact burger, but from a video food review I watched it was obvious that the burger had a better quality bun. This is what my version desperately needed.  Otherwise, the burger was delicious and I will be buying another one before it goes away.
