A Unique Seafood Menu


 Samish Bay Oyster - broiled on the half shell with garlic butter & white wine 
and served with rice pilaf & roasted vegetables

When I go to out-of-town adventures with the family, besides looking forward to the trip, I am excited by where and what we would be eating. But, don't we all? I can't own that characteristic, we all know you only get the full experience of a place by eating their food. So when we went to the Annual Tulip Festival in Skagit County and had our share of tulip-viewing, we were more than ready for food. Lunch time clocked in and with hungry stomachs, we went about our search. We weren't really craving for a certain cuisine, the only demand is for us to eat already, and anywhere will be fine. And we all know the dreaded "anywhere" when asked where to eat only makes it all the more difficult to decide. So our solution was to just drive and stop at the first restaurant we see.

Banzai!!!


This little Japanese restaurant in Richmond (which isn't saying much really, there's a LOT of those in here) has been a family favorite since we've been introduced to Banzai. Sad, but I don't recall how we got to know this place and how my first time experience was eating here. Though that is the case, I'm sure my first time is the same as any other time I've eaten here - satisfyingly fulfilling!
