Happy Hour and Dessert in Capitol Hill

  Happy Hour Street Tacos with Carne Asada and a Miami Vice from Poquitos.  Poquitos is located in Capitol Hill and they're serving up authentic Mexican cuisine and cocktails. Their happy hour deal is a good one- during Ocho hour, everything on the happy hour menu is just $8! I went with a Miami Vice, a classic Pina Colada with Strawberry. This blended cocktail was so fruity and delicious. To eat I had two Carne Asada Street Tacos and a Birria Poquitos Burrito. The Burrito was small and served with a side of Consommé sauce. Both food items were tasty and satisfying.  My husband also had some Street Tacos and a Margarita from the happy hour menu. My sons had a Cheese Quesadilla and beans and rice. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. I first visited Poquitos in 2012, also for happy hour, and I remembered liking it then, too. It was time for a meal there again.  For dessert, we walked about ten minutes west to  Voodoo Doughnut . The Seattle location opened late last ye...

Dinner at Karu Revolving Sushi in Bellevue

 

A Philadelphia Roll from Karu Revolving Sushi. 


If you love to eat sushi, then check out Karu Revolving Sushi in Bellevue. This is a very popular place to eat in Bellevue, where waits can be two hours for a table. We dined with some friends who eat at Karu regularly. They know all the ins and outs of this spot, including being in the know about the restaurants' app. By having the app, you can easily check in and then go shopping at Target or play video games at Dave and Busters, which is upstairs. I believe you also get points when dining at Karu with the app. We were told it would be two hours for our table, so we hung out at Dave and Buster's. It ended up being around an hour wait for our table. Then you have fifteen minutes to get to the restaurant. 

What's so special and great about Karu? They serve sushi on a conveyer belt. Each plate is $3.75. If you see a plate you want, just grab it. There's also a touchpad for ordering drinks and other items such as soup, noodles, other sides, and dessert. Robots deliver the drinks, which is really fun and unique! You can also win prizes after you reach a certain number of plates. I believe it's after fifteen plates. Our group had a lot of plates of sushi, so the three kids in our group each got a prize. 

The sushi was really fresh and looked tasty! They only use fresh and premium ingredients, and you can tell. They have a wide variety of sushi. Some of my faves were the Philadelphia Roll, one with American Beef, and the Aburi Salmon with Miso Cream Cheese. They also have Cheesecake and Cheese Tarts on the conveyer belt. Our boys went a little crazy grabbing dessert and may have eaten a little too much of everything. Everybody in our group left full and happy!

My boys' favorite when we get sushi, some Inari. 

A piece of Toro Sushi. 




Some sort of cheese tart that my son demolished.

I believe this was a piece of the Seared Salmon with Japanese Mayo. 

The Aburi Salmon with Miso Cream Cheese. This was the first thing I ate, and it ended up being my favorite plate of sushi. 


Another one I liked was this Golden Crunchy Roll. This one was spicey! 

My friend had this yummy looking Hand Roll with avocado and Tempura Shrimp.
