Monsoon ( Birthday Dinner)

I think this  might have been one of our best bday dinners yet!

Part 2

The picture of the bottle of Sake we got did not want to show up for some reason on this post, but I will say you must try cloudy sake and all other variations of Sake they have to offer 

Here the Rock shrimp was good. I believe it's up there with the top 5 Rock shrimps that we've had. The sauce was on point and the shrimp were cooked to perfection

spicy rock shrimp tempura spicy mayo.........................16

We wanted to try something new and we did. After sharing this roll I almost attempted to order another one but was advised that the meal we were about to get was plenty to satisfy our hunger needs

It was not spicy as indicated, because we both enjoy spicy food and this was merely a tease, all in all it was fresh and rewarding to say the least!!

*spicy salmon roll tobiko, chili.......................................................................................... 8. 

Now for the Big winner!!! (winner winner Chicken dinner)

This style of Lobster will and I repeat will be replicated once I get some time at home. OMG the broth was so flavorful yet light. The lobster had to be about 2lbs and more than enough veggies in the bowl to satisfy us both. It did need a side dish though, which I'll get to in a second

What we loved about this was the fact that the lobster was grilled and then placed into the broth to marinate and served to perfection. O man do I want some now :(

 Cantonese lobster rich butter glaze, shishito pepper,black beans ................ 39. 

This is the side of rice we god. It is not your typical greasy fried rice and in fact tasted a little to healthy for me LOL. It was perfect though to enjoy with that amazing Lobster.

seafood fried rice lobster, shrimp, egg, scallions........ 16.

Let him EAT what ever he wants LOL

Here wr have FRIED oreos... Why in heavens would we not try this (out of all other options, why not)

It was so good and a great end to an amazing meal oh man!!

TEMPURA FRIED OREOS CHILI SPIKED DIPPING SAUCE

Go here for your birthday or any other occasion and guess what.. they reward you with a $25 gift card to come back... well don't mind if I do!!

Great staff, great food and Amazing atmosphere! Cheer's to another great year to the love of my life!!!

What a great Brunch Date with my Fiance. Couldn't have asked for a better day!

• BELGIAN WAFFLE$14.00meyer lemon ricotta, candied orange

Nice and Light and fluffy Pancakes! OMG this was delicious... The candied oranges weren't too sweet and left a nice tangy taste to the maple syrup. I loved this dish a lot 

I am making waffles this weekend I need to make this on my own and enjoy!!

Complimentary Belini!

The Belini was delicious, it was a peach one, but the juices tasted like grapefruit... I was not complaining, it was free and it kept coming! 

• CALIFORNICATION$13.00crab, shrimp, cucumber, avocado, mango sauce

Normally I would not write about a California roll, but these had REAL crab chunks in there. I mean Holy molly Really Crab in a California roll! I was in heaven... and we should have gotten another order!

• MAINE LOBSTER & SHRIMP ROLL$26.00herb mayonnaise, crispy bacon, celery, waffle fries

Without the Bacon

This was a great Lobster roll. Extremely Big and I was really happy with the seasoning. Enough to share or big enough if your really hungry! 

This picture doesn't justify the size of the roll!

I would Highly suggest going here and enjoying the heart of Times Square!

Haru $40 Dinner Deal!!!

I Live for restaurant  deals and coupons. So when a friend told me I had one waiting for me in my Email I just HAD to check it out.

I Love sushi, and Japanese cuisine all together, but this place is super expensive (because it's in Times Square) so this deal too  me by surprise. I went twice, on Wednesday night and on Thursday. (yes I'm a greedy person)

Here is a screen shot of the menu. For $40 you get a shared appetizer, two entrees, a desert, and a bottle of either wine or Sake. Now tell me that is not a deal worth trying? 

Although the deal came with some booze already, I just HAD to try their special cocktail of the month the Black Sapphire. I WAS so happy that I did. (Lush is my middle name)

My friend also decided to get one and she too felt beyond 

This right here is King Crab Dumplings. Oh so edible and oh so little to share. I would definitely want to have this again. What I really liked was that the Crab was not Imitation but real lumpy crab in the dumplings. What a delightful surprise. 

Here's a closer look at them :) 

For my entree, I decided to go for the Salmon teriyaki. My favorite Japanese dish hands down. The fish was seared really well, and the sauce might have been the best tasting teriyaki sauce I might have ever had. I would definitely stop by for lunch here. 

Here's my bowl of rice... nothing fancy, but good all the same. 

Friendship harmony... No we were actually fighting for the last piece, and it broke in half perfectly!

Here is a collage of what my friend took for her meal. On the bottom right, you will see that she decided to go with the sushi platter. I tried a few and it was really fresh and delicious. 

This is the wine we chose to drink. I'm not a fan of white wine, but with the combination of the cocktail and the wine.. It didn't really matter much at that point :) 

For desert we had the banana spring rolls. They were hot and crunchy and gooey. However, somewhat healthy all the same. We were both also wondering how the ice cream might have tasted. Oh well!

I was really happy that we went here. I was even more happy that I went twice and both times had amazing food. I would love for them to do this deal once again!!
