That Menu is Copyright

Category:

You’ve ever been to a restaurant, that when you walked into it that you knew it was going to suck? This happened to Emily & I on Saturday night. Let me warn all future eaters at this restaurant, the name of it is Kirin Sushi www.kirin-sushi.com
4111 Voltaire St, San Diego - (619) 223-3388. It’s not too disgusting/boring inside, the food is only kind of bad, & we only had one glass that had lipstick prints on the top of it. What sucks is the owner of the place, she is a biotch!

We got into the restaurant and realized instantly that the place was dead and when a place is dead it usually means the food sucks.
I asked the waiter if the chicken teriyaki was white meat and he said yes so we decided to give the place a try. We take our seat and start reviewing the menu when Emily realizes that there is a sushi roll called “Yoshi Roll“. I’m like “ha ha I’ll take a photo”. I take my phone out and take a photo, but the flash whites the photo out too much so I was like “fuck it, I give up”. Emily decides she’ll take a photo of it. When she is done taking the photo, the owner who is this Chinese woman, who can barely speak a word of English comes over and is like “what you take photo of menu for” Emily is like “oh you guys have the same name of a sushi roll as our dogs name”…the crazy Chinese lady says “that menu copyright”, Em’s like “oh no we just think it’s cute”. The Chinese woman again “we copyright menu”..We’re both like “OK sorry!”. What tops this all of is when I got my chicken teriyaki it wasn’t even white meat it was dark meat, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Come on everyone knows I only go for the white meat!

What the fuck were we going to do with this stupid ass menu? We sure weren’t going to sell it or make the recipes from it because the food Fucking sucked! I felt like I was getting reprimanded by my mother or something. It left me with such a bad taste in my mouth and pissed like I used to get when my mom would tell me I had to go do such and such an errand with her. I used to kick the back of her seat in the car with frustration “Ma I don’t wanna go!”.

What I learned from this whole experience is to trust my gut if I feel like the restaurant is going to suck then it most likely will and I should leave. God, Oprah when are you ever wrong?!?!

    OK first of all, you should never trust Chinese restaurant workers. When they say “white meat” they really mean “Puddles” the pet cat that ran away from Suzie’s house last week and ended up eating leftover shit that the restaurant threw in the trash instead of donating it to the homeless. When that manager couldn’t speak English to you, well my feelings on that subject are well known. Learn the language or go back to where you came from. K Thx. All racist comments towards me will now follow.

    Too sick to come to work eh? Sushi=NO WAY
    Any place that serves fish usually has terrible chicken. On The Cape no matter what, the chicken tastes like fish. Bleh.

    What a stupid bitch! I doubt she had a copyright or even know what the fuck a copyright is. How can she learn about copyright laws but not learn to speak English. Come on now…

    Fuck that place! Start a boycott Gregg.

  19. gregg o'connell February 28th, 2007 9:52 am

    captain: i am definitely boycotting that place and so should everyone else

  20. cc1904 March 1st, 2007 9:10 am

    Boycott is in effect for Kirin Sushi.

    Also, I’m spreading the word on Boycotts for Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Wachovia for intentionally supporting illegal immigration.

    captain: long live the captain!

    haha. try having japanese friends next time so they can refer you to a good sushi place. i was w/ a japanese bf for 3 yrs and he was picky about eating sushi. i recommend sapporo in ob, i think, where it’s owned by a japanese couple. higher end, go to hayama on camino del rio s. in mission valley. benihana’s food is ok (heard their steak is not top quality) but you pay for the entertainment. even ichiban, sanban (or any w/ ban) is good for your money.

    melody: you can’t date a japanese guy! you only like white guys!
