What to order at a Japanese Restaurant ??

Question

what's the best you recommend.

i have a few things to order in my mind, like

miso soup

tempura shrimp

terkiyaki chicken

and of course sushi,

but what else do you recommend ?

Answer 1

"Tsukemono" or "Sunomono" - pickled side dishes, veg in vinegar

"Edamame" - boiled soybean

"Soba" or "Udon" - Noodles

"Karaage" - fried pieces of chicken

"Kushikatsu" - Meat and/or veg on a stick

"Gyoza" - dumpling potstickers (actually Chinese but common in Japenese restaurants)

"Unagi" - Grilled eel (also a type of Sushi)

"Sukiyaki" or "Shabu-shabu" - dishes that cook at your table, theres one big central pot and you put things in and take things out to eat as you want. Not a common dish to find here in the states.

Sushi is allright, but I prefer Sashimi. Its just the raw fish itself, no rice.

A traditional Japenese meal is a couple of flavor dishes (meat, veg, tofu, whatever..), a bowl of rice, and a bowl of soup. The flavor dishes are shared and there would be a 3 for each person. However, everyone still has their own rice and soup. In states you don't see this a-la-carte' type dinning very often. Generally, here they serve you "American" portions with the understanding your gonna order for yourself and eat only what you order.

Answer 2

Teriyaki anything should taste pretty good. I went to a Japanese place the other day and the Teriyaki steak was amazing.

Answer 3

Fugu i believe a dice with death makes you more confident and will fill you with courage. In case you don't know Fugu is blowfish and most of its body is covered with a toxic venom which causes death if ingested but part of the fish has a very tasty white meat which more then compensates for the risk.

Answer 4

Answer 7

Answer 8

seaweed salad; its really good!

Answer 9

When having Japanese, I usually get Maki-sushi or Sashimi. Sashimi is sliced fish that is served with a bowl of regular boiled rice on the side  Although I have to stay away from sushi right now since I am pregnant! But I would suggest if you get Sushi to have the Shrimp Tempura Rolls, The Philly Roll (mmm, made with Philly cream cheese), California Roll (this seems to be everyones favorite), and a Spicy Tuna Roll. And, if you get Sashimi, have Fugu, it's awesome!  

Answer 10

i almost always order my favs - cold soba, unagi-don (eel rice), tempura moriawase(assorted veges).  

Answer 11

I eat at Japanese restaurants all the time. I would recommend

Tempura Shrimp or Salmon Teriyaki with Miso Soup

Answer 12

edemame - only eat the bean inside

I also like the Udon noodle soup...but I think you have the right idea there.

You dont need to order anything else!

Answer 13

Sushi

cream of sum yung gye

Answer 15

Answer 16

Fried fetus.

Answer 17

Sashimi and Sake :D

Answer 18

Appetizers:

Miso Soup, Orange and Ginger Salad, Sushi, Edamame (Wonderful stuff, if I might add)

Main Course:

Hibachi Shrimp, Hibachi Steak (the filet mignon is always superiour, if it's available), and Terriyaki Chicken.

Desert:

Japanese Red Bean Ice Cream, if available.

Keep in mind that Hibachi meals taste much better than terriyaki - terriyaki is a bit too generic these days.

Answer 19

sushiiiiiiiiiii

duh..hahahahaha

the california roll is pretty good..

so is the salmon..lol..just get sushi! ahah

Answer 20

California/alaska rolls. I always get those. ^.^

Also, sashimi (sp?) is interesting... Big pieces of raw fish on top a little bit of rice. That's only good if you like raw fish though.
