Mad Wolf with Barker!
So I finally went to Mad Wolf Mongolian BBQ with my good friend Michael Barker. What a great place. Only $10 for all you can eat and great service makes this a place to come back again and again. My friend Michael is a really picky eater and as you can see from the video below, he only used beef and noodles and teriyaki sauce on his bowls. I on the other hand combined chicken, beef and pork with cabbage, celery, sprouts, and scallions with a mixture of teriyaki, curry, garlic, Ginger, spicy and mild sauces. Great food and great company at a great price cannot be beat! They are located at Imperial and harbor next to Albertson's.
Off on a food adventure with a picky eater!
Hi all -
I am off on another food adventure with my good friend Michael who is one of the pickiest eaters I know! We are going to one of his favorite places so this should be interesting! Hopefully pics and a video to follow this evening!

Review of Wood Ranch
First of all how have I never been here before? I ate here the other night with my good friends Brian and Kevin. This was Kevin's suggestion by the way. The place was packed but great service by our waiter. He was polite, upbeat and just a great all around person. Reminder - if you have great service let the manager know and have him/her pass it on to their employee. Good news is so rarely passed on. But back to the review. They bring you these amazing garlic butter rolls that are soft and warm. I think I ate about five. I had to force myself to stop eating them. The menu is simple but I like simple and I couldn't figure out what to get. I decided upon baby back ribs and BBQ chicken with fries and baked beans. They offer one item all the way to four items on their BBQ combos! Plus add two sides to that as well and you have a feast! The BBQ sauce is amazing - just really addicting with a slight kick in it. The ribs were pretty much fall of the bone meat and the chicken was juicy! We all will come back again and we thanked the manager for some great service by our waiter!
New reviews soon!
Hi All! Yes, there will be new reviews soon of several places that I have been to the last week or two! Other projects have kept me away but I will be back with at least one new review soon! Eat well and please keep sending me new places to head to!

Clancy's Clubhouse Happy Hour Review
Sasaki Food time back again! Finally made it literally across the street to Clancy's Clubhouse as suggested by my buddy DJ!
Domestic beers are $2.50! Well drinks are $4.50 and martini's are $6! Then they have a limited selection of appetizers all for $5 each! My bff Brittney had the nachos which was a massive plate as you can see from the pic below! She pretty much demolished all of them! I had the wings with the mango habanero sauce which was just perfect. nice and freshly hot wings with a nice sweet and spicy sauce! Then I had the chipotle shrimp taquitos. They were ok as I was expecting more shrimp. but great service and great atmosphere and we will be back again!

The Official Sasaki Food Time Song!
That's right! You have been hearing about it and here it is - the official Sasaki Food Time Blog Song sung by the talented Emily Simonian! hope you enjoy it! It's embedded on my page and is set on autoplay! So when you click on the page it is there to greet you!
The Anaheim White House Review
So first I have to start off with, why have I never been here before? Owner Bruno Serato told me that I must make sure to return here and not wait 20 years to come in for a visit! After tonight I will be back time and time again! The ambiance is picture perfect. We just came in for desserts and coffee while we listened to the silky jazz sounds of Emily Simonian who was performing live inside the White House. Emily who is amazingly talented and her voice blended in perfectly with the atmosphere of this amazing restaurant. By the way even though Emily is the voice of my official food blog song, trust me when I tell you that she is a talent waiting to be discovered. I'm attending her cd release party in L.A. in December but enough of that for now. The desserts were amazing and we had a tough time deciding! And for those of you who know me, you know that's amazing just on it's own! I had the dolce al zabaglione, a delicious white cake with creme and strawberries. The cake was light and reminded me of a moist hawaiian sweet bread. The creme topping had a wonderful liquor flavor to it. My friends Andrew and Katey had a wonderful apple tart and a chocolate banana tart. Both came topped with spun sugar that was much like cotton candy. There was very little to no talking at the table once the desserts arrived. We will be back!
Anaheim White House tonight
I'm heading to the white house - The Anaheim White House tonight for dessert and to listen to the amazingly talented Emily Simonian. She is the upcoming artist who performs my upcoming official Sasaki Food Time blog theme song!

The Walt Disney Studios visit!
Today I went to visit The Walt Disey Studios - the place that Walt built after the profits fro Snow White! And why was I here? To eat at the studio commissary of course! They recently changed managements and the food is now really healthy and it is reflected in the ingredients. There is a Chinese food section, a pizza section, a Mexican food section, a grill section for burgers, a grilled cheese bar, a fresh sandwich bar and a massive salad bar! Too top it off a great assortment of desserts! I literally walked around three times trying to figure out what I was going to have. I finally decided to try the grilled cheese bar. They offer three different grilled cheese sandwiches and I had the grilled cheese with bacon, tomatoes and cheddar. It was amazingly delicious and came with homemade chips and a pickle. Great healthy food and I'll be back.

Review of Geisha House
The last day of OC Restaurant Week was amazing! My friend Rachelle and I went to Geisha House in Santa Ana, located across the street from the Main Place Mall.
This was well worth the price and especially after reading all of the negative reviews on YELP! It makes me think to not trust YELP! so much. But anyways off to the review.
We both decided to do the six course $30 menu.
The first course we both had the miso soup. Now miso soup is like comfort food to me. It was served nice and hot just the way it should be.
The next course we both went for the mixed greens with the soy ginger dressing. Soy ginger dressing is already one of my favorites as my mom made it and this one was close to my mom's recipe - I think they actually took it from her.
For the third course I went with the albacore carpaccio which was impressive. The slices of albacore were matched perfectly with the balsamic jalepeno sauce. Rachelle went with the kanpachi serrano a lovely blend of amberjack with a light lemon ponzo sauce. The citric acid went perfectly with the amberjack.
Next up was the white samurai roll. This was just a wonderful blend of spicy tuna and spicy crab with more albacore. Rachelle went with the surf and turf roll and lovely blend of lobster with thinly sliced melt in your mouth filet mignon.
For our main entree with both choose the grilled filet mignon in a soy, garlic and sesame sauce which was to die for. The filet mignon melted in your mouth and the suce was just savory. The side of asparagus was perfect with a nice crunch and more of that delicious sauce that was marinated with the filte mignon.
Fro dessert I went with the coconut creme brulee which was just perfect though I wish the serving size was a bit larger. It was rich and creamy and not very overpowering on coconut flavor. Rachelle went with the crisp fruit wontons which were hot and delicious.
Speaking for the two of us, we will be back to Geisha House! totally worth the prix fixe menu deal and please do not believe the reviews in YELP!

JT Schmid's $30 prix fixe menu options during OC Restaurant Week
So Steph and I went out to JT Schmid's this evening to try their $30 prix fixe menu and I have to say we were both impressed. The attention of the staff wasn't the best but it soon picked up by our wonderful waitress.
The $30 prix fixe menu includes a flight of their craft beers. That alone is worth trying the prix fixe meal.
The first course that I selected was the ahi poke which was exceptional. The tuna was just grade a sashimi. It was served on a wonton chip over a nice fresh green lettuce and a ponzo style sauce. Steph went with the chicken and avocado eggrolls. She thoroughly enjoyed them.
The second course was the blue cheese top sirloin steak. I choose the homemade coleslaw and garlic mashed potatoes as my sides. I should have went with Steph and got the rack of baby back ribs which as you can see in the photo below this review that it was a full rack of ribs. Steph only ate like half of them because the portion was just that huge.
For the third course Steph went with the double fudge ice cream sandwich. It was rich and creamy. Just perfect! I went with the bread pudding which was amazing. It was served nice and warm as it was made fresh and came right out of the oven.
We had a great time and the food was great with enormous portions. So come hungry. Just don't expect the best hostesses.
So you have a few days left for OC Restaurant Week or you'll have to wait until next year!

Review of RA Sushi in HB
As my first tour on the OC Restuarant Week I went with my friend Kevin to RA Sushi to try their prix fixe $20 four course dinner. I was afraid that I wouldn't be full on only four courses but I was happily proven wrong! There are about three or four different options for each course.
The first course I choose your basic edamame but with garlic and rock salt. The portion size was much larger than I expected!
The next course I choose the spicy crispy treats. They were these really tasty rice paper hand rolls stuffed with crispy rice and spicy tuna, mixed with cucumber, lettuce and avacado. They also came with a nice and spicy soy chili sauce.
For my third course I decided to go with the Viva Las Vegas roll. Perhaps too much Vegas on my mind! But this roll was unique and amazingly tasty! It's a realyl ncie blend of crab and cream cheese that is tempura fried
with spicy tuna on top.The sauce is a nice sweet eel sauce.
And for the finally both Kevin and I ordered the cinammom temupra ice cream. Our waitress warned us both about how massive this dessert was and I scoffed at first. Then this massive plate of fried goodliness came out. Just amazing!
So come and check out RA or revisit it! A great and friendly staff. Not really kid friendly since the atmosphere is very club like. I'll be back for more RA Sushi! I'll be back!
