Party Sushi

So our friend Dan, from Oregon, is in town. His parents live in Lafayette, which according to Dan is about a half-hour drive from Berkeley. Lafayette is where he grew up. His is visiting family and friends. We went out to Triple Rock Brewery on Saturday night. And of course we had ... (one guess) garlic fries. We had dinner and some drinks.
Then last night he came on over to Berkeley and we had dinner at Party Sushi. We were gonna have dinner Tuesday night--but Dan's parents planned a family dinner. Well, it was a good thing that they did as we found out Party Sushi is closed on Tuesdays.
Curt and I came upon Party Sushi on his birthday. We drove to Japanese Restaurant #1--we looked at the sushi "menu" and there were like four items listed. We knew that wasn't that place to have sushi. Japanses Restaurant #2 had a waiting list. So we signed up. The place was small and cute and looked pretty authentic. After about 10 minutes of standing around and starving to death--yes, to death, we decided to ditch #2 and try our luck somewhere else. I had seen this Party Sushi before--it looked kinda crazy. Well, if you are familiar with Berkeley or San Fran you know the parking is slim and you usually have to pay for it. Well, there was an open spot right near Party Sushi. DING--Must be fate, huh? So we walk in and there is crazy stuff hanging all over the place--on the walls and from the ceilings and lights in the window--just like a ... party. The prices were cheap ($30 for 2 beers, 1 glass of wine and sushi) and the sushi was VERY good. The only two negatives is that it is run by like two people so the service is slow and they are cash only. But the benefits far out weigh the negatives.
So Dan seemed to like Party Sushi. We had a little left over and I have it for a snack today when I got home from work.
