Aji Contemporary Japanese

By Jason Leave a Comment

Linda’s Take

Aji Contemporary Japanese

Aji Contemporary Japanese

Jason and I want to try some different sushi restaurants around us, and we want to work our way through the restaurants in Hopkins.   We found Aji and thought Hopkins, “Great! It’s  nearby and it looked nice, being right on main street.”

All I have to say is, really?  This place sucks!

Bad service, the food is not much better than going to any Chinese buffet shushi.

Just don’t go.

1 out of 5 pants off!

Jason’s Take

Ditto.

The service was awful and the food was bland.  It’s an all-you-can-eat sushi place and it took at least 15 minutes to place our order.  “Yep, we want the sushi” should be a fast order to take.

If you’re considering going to Aji, do yourself a favor and reconsider.

1 out of 5 pants off.

Total score: 1 out of 5 pants off.

Pittsburgh Blue

By Jason Leave a Comment

Linda’s TakePittsburgh Blue

Pittsburgh Blue is by far one of the best restaurants you can ever go to.

I love eating here!!!!

Now you are going to drop a pretty penny when you go here,  but it is sooooo worth it.

First of all, save a few bucks if you want and bypass the drinks, they do a great job with anyone you choose,  but you can drop close to $10.00 a drink.  DO order any of the steaks! My favorite is the horseradish crusted filet minion. Also the scalloped appetizers are melt in your mouth wonderful!

The best part about this restaurant is the staff. I have never had anything bad to say about the service here. They treat you like you are royalty! I even dropped one of my appetizers and they fixed me one more so I would get exactly what we paid for.

I wouldn’t mind eating here once a month, but of course the budget won’t let us do that. However I think at least 2 or 3 times a year is perfect!

I give this restaurant 5 out of 5 pants off!

Jason’s Take

Pittsburgh Blue has phenomenal food.  I’ve been there more times than I can count.  It’s pricey, unless you go at happy hour and stick to the happy hour menu, then it’s priced like any regular restaurant.

If you go for dinner and order appetizers, and steaks, and drinks, you’re going to drop a couple of hundred dollars, easy.

But it’s so worth it.

The bacon wrapped scallops are so good, words fail me.  I feel like I need to do the walk of shame the morning after I eat them, it is so good.

The french onion soup is also great.  It’s served with half an inch of cheese melted over the top.  So bad for you.  Yum.

You can’t go wrong with any of their steaks.  Don’t bother with fish.  This is a steak house.

Sides are served family style.  I recommend the onion & cheese hashbrowns, the asparagus, the mushrooms, and the mashed potatoes, but not all in the same meal.

For dessert, get the crème brûlée.  Trust me.  If you’re going to have that anywhere, have it here.

This is the easiest 5 out of 5 pants off I’ve ever given.

Total Score: 5 out of 5 Pants Off
