Went for lunch this week for some stick’d chicken meatballs and thighs. The lunch plate (comes with rice, salad & miso soup) is a pretty good deal at $11. The place was lively and the staff was friendly. I could see having a good time getting a pitcher and more stick’d meatz.

Hi @PorkyBelly,

Nice! I totally forgot about the Rib Cap. How was it?

One of the highlights of the night, juicy, fatty, delicous. Report coming shortly. Have you tried it?

Yah, they always do a great job with their Sashimi presentations. :slight_smile:

I don’t remember us ever ordering the Rib Cap, strange. :sweat_smile: But good to know. I’ll definitely try it next visit! :grin:

Less than $3 a stick? I’m in! Chewed through the octopus and green onion fishcake on a stick, one of many varieties on offer at the Torrance Mitsuwa gourmet fair. I started eating before I remembered to take a photo. Supplemented with hijiki, burdock & carrot, and seaweed salad sides.

At last, I can contribute to a DoTM!

Two separate meals. Some corn at home. If you order Popcorn Chicken for delivery, you can get a stick for your chicken. :slight_smile:

Oh, yeah. I managed my first successful visit to Popcorn Chicken today (earlier attempt before they opened) and got a to-go order. In the car, after a couple of finger-tip only bites, I discovered the stick. Made the rest much easier! People inside very nice. Ordered spicy, and it turned out much more spicy than hot. (Was very temperature hot, but spice was lower mouth, to me, and not sharp burning.) Enjoyed it, more at the beginning than as it cooled. I guess I’m still too midwest suburban grown – the cartilage and dryness began lessen my pleasure. Will try others of their snacks.

Tel Aviv Grill Chicken Shawarma Pita

Followed your guys’ recommendations and yep its damn good! Moist, tender, seasoned. Veggies fresh n crunchy. My only gripe is that they have French’s “ketchup”. Malcolm Gladwell ketchup snob here and I can’t accept anything that isn’t Heinz, its the “is Pepsi okay?” of ketchup! Pita was pillowy. Solid meal. Would go again.
