Sushi in Fletcher!

August 3, 2011 By
Ganko Express

Who knew? I've been driving by this place for years. The sign said something about a Japanese Steakhouse, which didn't do much for me, so I never stopped . . . until today. Okay. I did peek in the window a couple years ago, but didn't go in. Today I noticed a new sign: Ganko Express - Hibachi, Sushi, Chinese & Thai. Turns out ownership changed about a year ago. The new owners kept the name until recently re-branding, modifying their focus. The word "Sushi" is what led to skid marks … [Read more...]

Roll of the Dice? Not at Thai Spice

February 19, 2011 By
Salad w/Ginger Dressing - Carolina Epicurean

There's no gambling involved - you can expect consistently good food and friendly staff every time you go to Thai Spice. Because it opened to very mixed reviews - it's authentic, it's not authentic, it's not spicy enough, it's just right - I've taken my time, making half a dozen visits before writing this review. In the interest of full disclosure, I'd like to say here and now that I'm in no way an expert on Thai cuisine and that this review is written from the perspective … [Read more...]

Just HAD to share this note from a friend and reader: Tried Lilttle Bee Thai on Sweeten Creek Road tonight (7/29) for dinner.... It is, literally, IN the Exxon convenience store. You walk in and it's inside the left wall (there's a counter for ordering). Kind of cool brushed stainless steel wall is all the "decor" that they have...VERY friendly husband, Rick (?), originally from Boston. Obviously Mr. P.R. - haha Took, his wife, is the chef. Anyway, he told us all about what their modus … [Read more...]

When you head to Mela on Lexington in Asheville for some great Indian, arriving at 2:35PM for a late lunch only to discover they closed at 2:30PM and won't reopen until 5:30PM for dinner.Then, as you walk back to the parking garage, you call India Garden (also great Indian food) on South Tunnel Rd, to check their hours. They close at 3:00PM and reopen at 5:00PM.Now what? Obvious ...you duck into Downtown Books and News and simultaneously browse the shelves while brainstorming Indian places that … [Read more...]

Dinner At One End of Main – Dessert At The Other

November 14, 2008 By

Last Friday, November 7th, PIC and Teen Daughter left right after school for Dad's Weekend at Oldest Son's college. Later that night I had dinner in the bleachers at Teen Son's (middle child) last high school career football game. Counterpoint to, otherwise known as compensation for, dinner in the bleachers Friday, was Saturday's dinner. Teen Son, social animal that he is, asked and got permission to grab a bite with friends and hang with them for the night. Being a lone Epicurean, I took … [Read more...]
