Sushi Yoshino

Sometime last year, Justin and I ate at Sushin Yoshino. It's a small restaurant that I believe is in the Brookhaven neighborhood. It's at the intersection of Johnson Ferry and Ashford-Dunwoody. We have eaten there several times since last year since the food is so good. The servers are friendly and the sushi is even better. They have hibachi-type food, but Justin and I have always eaten the sushi.

I think my favorite roll is the angel roll. It has a piece of fried shrimp with cream cheese and is topped with crab and a yummy sauce. The crab on the top is shredded and kind of looks like hair. Angel hair perhaps? Last Saturday, Justin and I ate lunch at Sushi Yoshino and it was some of the best sushi we've had. Justin said the smoked salmon was the freshest and most delicious salmon he's eaten on sushi. I've thought about how yummy the food was all week. I had to have it again!

Saturday morning, I counted down the hours until I could order sushi for lunch. We ordered and I went to pick up the yummy goodness. I felt like a glutton because our food came packaged on this huge platter. It didn't stop me, though.

When I got home, we dug in. It didn't take long for the platter to go from this:

to this:

I think I want Sushi Yoshino one night this week!

Here comes Peter Cottontail...

...hopping down the bunny trail.


Happy Easter! This bunny cookie was given to me by a coworker. It was delicious! From past experience with decorated cookies, I've discovered most don't taste very good. They're very pretty, but the taste is lacking. This cookie was the total package. It was pretty and the cookie was buttery and tasty. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Valenza

Sunday evening, Justin and I talked about going out for dinner. We eventually decided to stay at home and eat salads. We did decide that we would eat somewhere new Monday night, so after work, we headed to Valenza.

Valenza is located in a neighborhood called Brookhaven. Brookhaven is fairly near our neighborhood, so we've tried to eat at several restaurants in that area. Like the other Brookhaven restaurants, we enjoyed delicious food.

We didn't make a reservation since it was a weekday, but I would think one would be necessary on the weekends to avoid a long wait. The online menu is not their current menu. I ordered the caramelized scallops with spring pea risotto and lemon oil. It was delicious! Justin ordered the roasted butternut squash ravioli with pecans, brown butter, and sage. His was also delicious.

For dessert, we shared the warm chocolate tart. It was served with vanilla cream and milk chocolate sauce. It tasted a good as it sounds. I could have eaten three or four. All of their desserts sounded good, so I need to try more of those.

I guess our only complaint is the cost. My entree was $27 and Justin's was $16 (I think). We didn't leave hungry, but it did seem a little pricey for the amount of food. The quality of food was good, so we will probably visit Valenza in the future.
