Restaurant Review: Ai Sushi
Restaurant: Ai Sushi (the full menu is not listed on the website)
Cuisine: Japanese/Asian
Location: Boulder, Colorado
Pricey?: ** of out *****
Review: There is nothing I like more than to sink my teeth into a meaty and delicious hunk of tuna neck and this is exactly the reason why I ADORE Ai Sushi! The restaurant has all the sushi you can imagine plus exotic dishes such as this tuna neck that I love, also known as Hamachi Kama.
Last night my parents came to Boulder for dinner and my mom said "how about we go to your sushi place"... so of course I couldn't say no to that, after all it's "my" sushi place! Walk ins are welcome and space is always available, no waiting EVER!
The ambiance of the restaurant is spacious and boasts 10 hibachi grills along with a separate dining room so the loud noises from the hibachi grillers do not distract those who want to have a peaceful conversation with their dinner mates. As my parents and I headed into the dining room, we walked by a chalk board that had specials listed, and one of them was a special of SASHIMI for 2 @ $35 for 35 pieces - WHAT A STEAL!!!
So what did we order? TWO Sashimi Platters... so 70 pieces of sashimi! Plus TWO hamachi kamas (one for me, and one for my dad!)
We all received complementary miso soups & salads and the Hamachi Kamas came out first, VERY quickly.... and then... OUR SASHIMI platters! (The server knows me so he added eel sashimi onto the platters - lets just say he got a MIGHTY FINE TIP!) The fish ranged from multiple types of Tuna, Salmon, Mackerel, Crab, Tilipia, Shrimp, Egg & Eel! (I am sure I am forgetting something but there was just so much deliciousness I was so distracted by my ridiculously HAPPY taste buds!)
Everything was absolutely delicious... and when I was mid way through devouring my hamachi kama and realized it wasn't cooked all the way, I told my server and he simply took it back to the grill so they could finish off what was left and he did not charge us for it!
Don't think that sashimi and Habachi is the only thing Ai Sushi serves though, they have "millions" of rolls to choose from ranging from: the 007 Roll to the Heart Attack Roll to the Playboy Roll.... If you want to know what's in these interestingly titles rolls... check out the menu!
So how much was our bill! This is the BEST PART!!!!! For three people (yep, that's right, we finished ALL of that food... let's just say I would MOST DEFINITELY win ANY Japanese Food Eating Contest...) our bill came out to be: $115 (before tip that is)... and that includes the 2 beers my father ordered as well...
Well maybe I am a tad bit bias considering I have been going to this restaurant for three and a half years now... BUT every single time I have gone (which is a heck of a lot) it NEVER disappoints! The best part is pretty much all the waitstaff know me by first name and... when they see me outside about to enter the restaurant, they already get my order started! (ha ha, not seriously, but they definitely could... this also means I am a HUGE creature of habit)... But you know what, when I know something is out of this world delicious, why would I try something different that I am unsure of?!?!
My Rating: 9.99999 out of 10 (not a straight ten because my hamachi kama wasn't cooked all the way through this go round, but typically it ALWAYS it! Oh and they don't have ESCOLAR which is one of my favorite types of sashimi... but eh, you can't win em all right?)
(My favorite fish looks ANGRY, no?)

The Queen of Talk is Dethroned!!!
BREAKING NEWS!
OPRAH WINFREY is no longer the most "powerful" celebrity on the planet!!!!!! How in the world can this be! She has TV shows, a production company, magazines, clothing lines, home wear lines, EVERYTHING and it's Oprah for heavens sake! Who in the world has replaced her!
Hm... Well I can list a couple of celebrities who have made lots of movies and demanded high pay checks at the end of each... there's Ben Stiller, Denzel Washington, Morgan Freedman, Jack Nicholson, Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon, Julia Roberts... but none of those listed surpassed her! So who did... ANGELINA JOLIE!
I guess we all shouldn't be too shocked; after all the world seems to be completely infatuated with her. From her long flawless features, HUGE lips, six children, humanitarian efforts around the globe... and not to mention her arm candy, Brad Pitt, Jolie is constantly featured in all the tabloids! Since the world believe Jolie is a goddess, she can demand the HIGHEST pay check and get away with it. (I wonder if Pitt is proud of her or jealous, although he didn't do too shabby in the ranking either: #9)
According to Forbes Magazine, in the past twelve months Jolie has made $27 million from movies such as Kung-Fu Panda, Wanted and Salt (a movie she is currently working on). What also helped her claim the top spot was all the publicity she got during and after her pregnancy with her twins Vivian and Knox (I hope she thanks them in the future).
So do we think Oprah will fight her way back to the top next year? Lets hope so because I am already starting to feel out of sorts!
Rounding Out The Top 10
#2: Oprah Winfrey
#3: Madonna (Ugh, not a fan!)
#4: Beyonce Knowles (I wonder how Jay-Z feels!)
#5: Tiger Woods (Hole in One!)
#6: Bruce Springsteen
#7: Steven Spielberg (You must cast me in your next movie)
#8: Jennifer Aniston (Ha, she beat Brad - I bet she will celebrate!)
#9: Brad Pitt (Yes, you know you're hot)
#10: Kobe Bryant
#11: Will Smith (Well deserved!)
#12: Dr. Phil McGraw (All thanks to Oprah!)
#13: Britney Spears (Glad to see she's back in action)
#14: David Letterman (Jay Leno isn't lower on the list, I bet you're stoked!)

#17: Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones does it again!)
#18: Michael Jordan (This man is just amazing)

PS: Don't believe everything you read... these figures could be before taxes, etc.... for all we know Orpah could still be on top!
