getting my money’s worth

i ran the pole vault at a highschool track meet today – my sister’s been coaching the vault at Tartan HS and asked me to run the vault at their meet. post-meet, she asked if i wanted to go out to eat. she’d been craving sushi and there’s a new restaurant in woodbury, which i was looking forward to trying out… today i got my chance.

now the restaurant, Akita Sushi and Habachi, was very nice looking. The service… questionable at best. it took FOREVER for us to get even our waters, but once we did, the water had ice and was cold. they have two different methods of eating – ala carte or all-you-can-eat. now the all you can eat method is quite pricey ($21.99), but then again, we’re talking about sushi here. i can eat a lot of sushi. i’m writing this today to tell you exactly how much i ate (i’m not sure exactly of prices, but i did eat more than $22 worth), i had to keep the receipt – as a token of my victory over akita… the list:

• 1x Sushi Pizza
• 10x Unagi (my super most favorite sushi EVAR)
• 1x Snapper (sushi)
• 4x White Tuna (sushi)
• 2x Salmon (sushi)
• 1x Cucumber/Sea Clam Roll (6 pieces)
• 1x Rainbow Roll (6 pieces)
• 1x Crispy Roll (6 pieces)
• 1x Unagi Roll (6 pieces)
• 1x Spicy Salmon Roll (6 pieces)

now, we did check the ala carte menu at one point… 5x sushi = $5.99 (1x = $1.99), each roll was between $3.50 and $5.50… do the math, i done pretty good. i will be back as the food was VERY good – and next time, i make sure to get even more bang for my buck!
