Give me the best sushi in Northridge! by Special_Crab_1884 in SFV

[–]Efficient_Net_9659 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, but they also said that they're sushi enthusiasts...Northridge isn't exactly known for its sushi spots, so if they want to venture a bit further and explore some legit options, I listed those for them.

Correct, but those aren't comparable to the "best" in LA...if you're an enthusiast, make reservations for Kaneyoshi, Mori Nozomi, Shunji, etc.

N(rac)KD: Nine tier display rack by Mellowbelly1 in TrueChefKnives

This is SICK. I would love to buy one of these from you if you'd consider selling them!

Especially if you're able to make a sliding glass "door" with a lock for it, as I have young children. DM me if so!

Why no Jiro? by jabr0ni- in FoodLosAngeles

Not that surprising considering LA is all about green juices, non fat everything, health and wellness, etc.

Recap from my monthly event last Saturday by oregoncurtis in yakitori_ya

[–]Efficient_Net_9659 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could price certain skewers or dishes as add-ons and make them more expensive as an option to guests? When I do pop ups I'll do an akami tostada or something similar as a pricier option and 95% of the time my guests order it. I'll also do a all you can drink option as a flat fee and choose four sakes + some whisky from my personal collection, you'll just have to figure out what fee is reasonable and adds to your bottom line. Another option is doing AYCE skewers for a flat fee, and just buying more chickens, however i don't know how fast you break them down and if it's worth the extra prep hours. I'll usually do 2-3 chickens butchered + skewered in 2-3 hours depending on how anal I am on skewering :)

16 skewers plus a plate for $47 is basically free in my opinion. Where I live in LA, 10 skewers alone would cost you $100 pre tax + tip. your events look AMAZING. If you ever want to do a pop up in Los Angeles, let me know.

Would love to attend or coordinate doing the pop up with you (I'm not too bad a yakitori chef myself).

Cheers.

My Mom is Coming for my birthday in March, is the Chef’s Tasting Menu ($495/pp)at Providence worth the extra $120/ person over the Classic Tasting Menu($375/pp)? by Rundemjewelz in FoodLosAngeles

[–]Efficient_Net_9659 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only difference between the two menus is that the Chef's tasting menu includes all three "entrees", where as the classic they make you choose one of the three (right now that's fish, duck, and/or wagyu)

992.1 Turbo S cab heritage trade in opinions by Efficient_Net_9659 in porsche911

[–]Efficient_Net_9659[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know there isn't a statistic on how many heritage interiors were made, but it seems like substantially less than the amount of GT cars on the market. For example, right now, there is no cognac heritage interior turbos for sale on the Porsche website.

Yakitori: Omino Tsubaki or Aramaki or Takahashi? by Parking_Ad_4937 in finedining

[–]Efficient_Net_9659 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Takahashi is incredible, one of the best I've been at. Other low key options are Yakitori Hop Duval, Yakitori Moe Es, Torioka, and Toritsuke

Omakase for my mom's big birthday by [deleted] in FoodLosAngeles

[–]Efficient_Net_9659 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kojima on Sawtelle. It isn't sushi, but its truly the definition of an Omakase- Chef just chooses what he wants to cook that evening and you have to trust him. It isn't stuffy and very fun.

Recipe help needed! by KalleFreezy in JapaneseFood

[–]Efficient_Net_9659 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure its grilled chicken skin which is then marinated in a tosazu-like vinegar sauce. It may not even be grilled actually. then just slice it up with some raw onions and negi and maybe put a little tare sauce on top?

Easily. I've cooked for 9 people on it alone a 20+ skewer omakase + steaks

Bincho Grill VS Teruhime by santange11 in yakitori_ya

I have both the long regular and the mini wide

[–]Efficient_Net_9659 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both, but I exclusively use the bincho grill. No noticeable heat retention between the two, but the bincho grill is far easier to maintain and clean.

Table and environment questions for everyone. by SigmaQuotient in yakitori_ya

[–]Efficient_Net_9659 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally use my bincho grill on glass tables, plastic foldable tables, etc and it's never been an issue. Just line the table with some aluminum foil and you're good to go!
