haha yeah, todai in the biltmore was a bust. they began the downhill slide when they gave out birthday "vouchers"......good for the NEXT visit. little did they realize is that most people who came in to eat free on their birthdays usually brought in a boat load of friends, relatives and other full paying customers that would not have probably come in at all (lemme see, 1 free loader, and 10 full paying customers x $25 ea?) duh, lemme get a calculator (for you post ti-55 borners) too bad they fell asleep in that boring marketing 101 class eh?
back to PSFB, not a bad place to go on a weekday and get all you can eat sushi for about $10. yeah, it ain't RA, sakana or beni but it will suffice.
we like the fact that you can have a party of like 20 family and friends and there's no haggling over what to order, glaring at the late comers, or having to eat someone elses "favorite" dish. (i hope my family doesn't read this).
back in the day, we used to have to drive 400 mi to todai in LA, then 15 mi to the biltmore, and now all we have to do is walk a mile to NW corner of elliot and AZ av. to what used to be the long time iconic eatery, bill johnsons.
i miss the sawdust floors but i soon forget as i'm eating my 24th piece of sushi, 8th rack of korean short ribs and 4th bowl of green tea ice cream. and as i recall the only thing i learned in econ 101, there is the much welcomed east valley competition just 2 miles west and 1 mile south (hint: it's on the NE corner sharing a parking lot with MCD's, lee lee, and caddy-corner to that dimslum place)
ok kinda sewer
