I enjoy Noodles quite a bit. I eat there twice a week.

There's lots of nice pubs. Was in Sandwich last week and had the best scampi and chips ever, in the pub opposite the market. For fish and chips it's hard to beat the little pub in the historic fishermans area of Hastings. Norfolk is another place I have eaten nice pub grub. Good pubs all over the place and unfortunately,many which are not so good.

I can't really eat out any more, except for maybe a burger. Firstly, I very rarely get out of my house. Second, when my stomach expands from eating more than a small portion, it prevents my lungs from moving fully and I can't breathe.
That having been said, I love The Keg. There are a couple of different locations in Calgary. They have the best filet mignon with stuffed potato that I've ever tasted. Smugglers is also very good.

There were some great places in upstate NY and outside of Washington DC that I really loved. Beautiful scenery and great food. Of course my all time favorite restaurant was Louie's on the Lake in Clear Lake outside of Houston ages ago, it no longer exists, the food wasn't special, but it was tasty, it was famous for the "all you can eat seafood buffet", for pretty cheap, the restaurant had all glass walls facing the lake, so relaxing, sailboats had a dock there and there was a helio pad for the locals that had their own helicopters. The fried frog's legs were great, although I feel guilty for eating them.

Haven't been to a great restaurant in ages, they don't have any here. I'd say the best here is mediocre.

The Wexford Ale House. In Wexford, PA. Great food and a lovely selection of craft brews.

This local place called Hi-Ho Mongolian Grill. You're given a bowl, and you fill it up with various types of food. I do corn, broccoli, chicken, beef, some other meat that I can't remember, shrimp, and some imitation crab meat (essentially an assortment of fish), and then I pile it high with some noodles and add some amazing sauce to it.

I could eat that stuff for every meal.

Too complicated...

Any place that serves fish and ships the English way would make my day. That said, I haven't had one since I left England :(

We get our food in less than 10 minutes each time: You just go up, put together your food, stand around for about three minutes while the chefs cook your food on a giant stove, and you're good to go.

It was a joke, Freeze, I'm a Benihana's junkie (on those rare occasions I can afford it).

Fair enough. I was assuming you weren't joking because, at most restaurants, it's as simple as just pointing at an item on the menu and then waiting for the food to arrive; having to go up and individually select everything is a tad bit more involved.

I typically pick steak, shrimp, mushrooms, some bean sprouts, plum sauce, and some others I can't remember.

The Takahashi

No windows. No view. Just food, and some atmosphere.

My brother told me, when he worked for Tektronix, that visitors from Japan would request to go to this place. We now have http://www.urbanspoon.com/f/24/2357/Portland/Sushi-Restaurants in town. I'm not sure how many there were 20 years ago, when I started going. Maybe 10.

History

Ruth and Seiji Takahashi began their plans for a future restaurant, as far back as 1981, while still residing in Orio, Japan. They sought out and purchased ceramic pots, jugs, knick knacks, old chests, and many other antiques from the Fukuoka area, and slowly built a collection of decorations to fill their future restaurant. They continued stockpiling eclectic antiques wares for another 4 years, then finally sent the future restaurant decores by ship to their final destination in Oregon.

After moving home to Portland in 1985, they found a quirky but ideal location for their restaurant ... They remodeled the interior after a Japanese Folk Style farm house, and the antique knick knacks, chests, pots and jugs found their home. Seiji cut and hand-painted the Japanese folk art by hand to decorate the exterior. And with the finishing touches, The Takahashi Japanese Restaurant opened its doors on Dec. 14 1985.

The Takahashi has continued to be owned and operated by the Takahashi Family, and is one of the longest running traditional Japanese restaurants in Portland.

The ideal sushi bar with someone with ADD. After 100 visits, I was still saying; "Look at that!"
