I have one of those friends who hates making a big deal out of their birthdays. She didn't even tell me it was her birthday until the day of! She hadn't made plans, so I insisted on taking her out, and going somewhere adventerous, and i don't think there are many more adventerous eating places than Japanese resturants. We went to kenichi right after work (on the enthusiastic recommendation of one of my co-workers) and found the place to be totally packed; i think there was a Mavs game. The hostess offered us the sushi bar, assuring us it was a really fun place to sit. when she sat us, she introduced our sushi chef as Handsome Freddy. Freddy was great! He's even got his own roll, which was delicious. My friend ended up mostly sticking to cooked items, but there were plenty of those to be enjoyed. Her favorite was the cod. I really like the hawaiian roll. I was kind of hoping to have the waiters embarass the pants off her for her birthday, but getting a free fried ice cream instead was pretty nice. So basically, the food is amazing, and I really like the people there. And I'll defintiely be back at the sushi bar.
