Hey, I was thinking about going to this Japanese Steak & Sushi bar near my house. Is there anything you guys/gals could reccomend me to get? I have no expierence with japanese food, so help would be nice.
 
Hmmm lets see... perhaps you could try umm Sushi or Steak? Not knowing what is on the menu, it would be difficult to say... dont be afraid to try something new. Is it a japanese restaurant? Or a restaruant that offers Sushi on the side?
If you order sushi, and you arent afraid of raw fish, then you should be fine... then they have the other flavours too. Portions dont tend to be huge (sometimes the price is though) so its not too much to gulp down if you dont like the taste.
Hambaagu steak is yum :D Umm yeah, just try it out and be adventurous. Im assuming if its a japanese restaurant they will have the little wax models of the food, or at the very least a photo that you can look at to see what whets your palette.
 
My mate at work is mad about fatty Tuna (I think it's called 'Toro')

I've only got into Sushi and Sashimi fairly recently.
It used to scare me but now I love it. I like Tataki sushi - it is seared along the edges.
One of the things I really like about sushi is the accompanying stuff like Wasabi and pickled ginger. The Japanese have some amazing pickles - they put to shame the sorry-looking pickled eggs you see in UK Fish & Chip shops.
I've yet to try Japanese steak but I heard it's really good.

Recently I went to a sushi bar with the guy from work, and we had 'the membrane that contains a sea scallops internal organs', as a freebie because he knows the owner.
It was nice, although the chef didn't tell us what it was until after we ate it!
 
Sashimi and other raw sushi will be good depending on how fresh your ingredients are. In Japan....can't get any better than that!! ::wipes drool from chin:: But in, for example, Colorado, don't expect much from the sashimi in a landlocked state unless you go to a very fancy restaurant that has daily shipments of fish from the coasts. If you're not much for the raw fish end of things you can always go with Tamago (sweetened egg), Inari (rice in fried tofu pockets), or Ebi (shrimp - that's pre-cooked) as starters. I suggest Unagi (eel) as well, but only if you think you can handle it - it tend to be on the expensive end of sushi (at least in the US).
