Hard to not be seriously happy about that. The latter is a pitcher of beer and a large sake for $7.99. There are 41 dishes on the Happy Hour menu, along with various beers, sakes, sake cocktails and sake bomb sets (sake and beer combos) – three of them, called Happy Set, Really Happy Set and Seriously Happy Set. To get tasty shrimp bites for $2.99, spicy tuna bites for $4.99 – or the spicy lobster cones called Gone in 60 Seconds for the same reduced $4.99.
Oops sushi bar happy hour skin#
(You can keep eating your Happy Hour sushi after 7 you just have to put in your order beforehand.)Īnd really, what a treat it is to get a big plate of spicy tuna salad, seared albacore salad or salmon skin salad for just $4.99. Packed to the point where there’s often a wait to get in packed to the point where you may have to order a whole bunch of dishes when you sit down so you don’t go past the 7 p.m.

Prices drop to about two-thirds of normal. till closing Thursday through Saturday – and all day Sunday. The Happy Hour at Oops! goes from 4 to 7 p.m. Or at least it’s jammed during Happy Hour, when the prices are just great. It’s a sushi bar that’s so popular the parking lot in front of it is often jammed. Sushi – with “B.A.D.” standing for “Best and Delicious.”Īnd then there’s my current oddly named fave rave – Oops! Sushi & Sake Bar, hidden in a mini-mall at Barrington Avenue and Gateway Boulevard in an industrial section of West L.A. Over on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Los Angeles, there’s a very good sushi bar called B.A.D. Need a good place to go to for happy hour? Do you want a good reason for happy hour? Go to Nijo.Sushi bar owners like to give their establishments odd names.

That didn’t happen until many years in the future. I wish someone thought up to cut up the sweet potatoes into fries then fried them. I grew up eating fried sweet potatoes as a kid. In the case of Nijo’s egg rolls, it’s avocado. I like egg rolls even with non-traditional filling. Here’s what I have to say about the fried calamari… where are the tentacles? I want more tentacles. (I’m omitting the exclamation point because “I want more tentacles!” just sounds so demanding and I don’t want to sound that demanding. I want more tentacles! Oops.) Sometimes I forget and it makes me the opposite of happy. It was okay but I’ve had it better.Īgedashi tofu has become a must for me when I’m in a Japanese restaurant. This time though the takoyaki was too doughy. I’ve had takoyaki for lunch at Nijo before and it was just right. I am on a takoyaki whirl for some reason. (Yeah, I know. *Groan*, huh,) The soju is more than enough for me, thanks. Our server gladly corrected the error and even gave me the liqueur on the house. My friend ordered a non-alcoholic Passion Flower cocktail, while I ordered Ty-Ku soju, but my drink order got mixed up and I was given Ty-Ku Citrus Liqueur instead. Losing customers is inevitable for any restaurants who do not give their customers the expected food and dining experience they come for. I have not had a bad dining experience at Nijo, and when I do, my visits will decline. It’s Norita’s first happy hour experience and what better place to take her to than Nijo. It may not be in yours, but it’s definitely in mine. So I admit that Nijo falls in my favorite list.

Given that there are plenty of restaurants to choose from, any sit-down restaurant that anyone goes to at least twice a year has got to be a favorite. I probably find myself in Nijo Sushi Bar & Grill about twice a year. Tucked in between the corner of 1st Ave and Spring St., Nijo Sushi Bar & Grill is not exactly located on the busiest corner of downtown Seattle. Sometimes, don’t you just feel like the White Rabbit from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland… “”Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!” It’s one week from the last Thursday of this month and I meant to make this post no later than the first of this month (July) since the last Thursday of last month (June), my friend, Norita and I went to one of my favorite haunts in Seattle.
