I am always up for PHO, but I haven't tried the one on staples mill...

I always go to the one on Horsepen or to Mekong.

How about O'Charleys?

Da Rever!

Oh, sure, dump it on me. O'Charleys is okay, I guess..but can't we come up with something a little less generic? Do you guys like Japanese? Sakura in the Babys-R-Us parking lot is almost NEVER busy, and I'll bet they'd love to have a big group come in. Depending on how hungry everyone was, we could even do a hibachi table.

GREAT IDEA! Lots of parking with no door dings. Plus we can send the last guy there over to Chuckee Cheese!

Heck if anyone has any kids to bring we could go to Chuckie Cheese. BTW, it's the CarMax Marketing Department's fault you can't go in to that CC unless you have a kid now- we kinda took it over for a coworker's goodbye party two years ago. Oops.

I am cool with Sakura. I know a some peops who work there. How about there is only one Japanese person in the whole place..

But, from a quality stand point...I am not too thrilled with them.

But, what you say about the lot and parking is right on the money.

And I would love to see CHIRORX8 go through the ball crawl at Chucky Cheese.

We could go across the street to Akida then, instead. What was wrong when you went? Last time I was there, the salmon I had was the freshest, best salmon I've ever had in Richmond. Perhaps one of us went on an off day.

Weeell, you also have to understand I used to live in Japan for a while and my girlfriend is Japanese...so my taste buds are realy sensitive to poor quality Japanese food.

Akida is not much better.... I would say for Richmond if you want good Japanese food you have to go to either KOBE or HANAZUSHI..

Wich aint fantanstic but respectable.

Hahaha, you know how much I hate Pho. I think Akida is a nice suggestion. If you want to be able to see your car while you eat it will have to be like a fastfood place. And I know we don't want that.

How about.... Mekong? Or Tai Dinner? Or Champps at the new mall.

Good thing about Mekong is there is a big parking lot in the back so we can hang out at the cars. Also they have capacity for large groups of people.

Oh, and the food is good.

In that case pretty much anything you get in the US is pretty crappy, isn't it? We have the same problem with Italian food, since Steve used to live there. There just isn't anything close to it, really, except sometimes Pasta Luna.

Not realy, any place that has a large population of Japanese like California and New York you can get the real deal. But, alot of Japanese resturaunts are run by Korean or Chinese because they can get the food realy cheep.

I am from NY and I used to go to Japanese resturaunts and Ramen shops all the time, and it was authentic.

Richmond just doesn't have the pouplation.

But, if you guys wanna come to my place I will be more than happy to have all of you come over. My girl can make sushi.

Pleanty of parking too.

Tobbaco Row is a nice place to throw a party!
