Hmmmm. I believe most of the asian high-class resturants in Richmond!!

**ViningWolff** · 12-24-2006, 02:04 PM

Beauty!!! I'm used to paying around $25 for two hours of all you can eat Sushi/Sashimi. Love the red tuna and Salmon the most. I may even try a couple places.

Dink - I'm still playing with the Forza Super Power 9000. They haven't made them in a few years and I have only two left. Very hard hitting iso-racquet. I have a Proace Ti-11 as a backup but the thing is pretty whippy.

Pete- yeah we had a slugfest going with "da brothers". Think Howie and I can give the big guns a tough time at C2 if I'm even able to be half mobile. I'm good to play again after wednesday, so let me know what you're up to.

Pete may have a twicth having to string my racquets well below his 32 x 33 range.

I went there once with a friend and totally hated it. That restaurant turn me off all-you-can-eat sushi for good. A few lessons I learnt from that experience.

1. Sushi is all about quality

.

2. All-you-can-eat is better when dining with a group. You get to sample more stuff and not get penalize for not finishing your dishes

.

3. Japanese folks know where to get great sushi

.

I would second Wood_22_Chuck's recommendation. Tomokazu is a great place for all you can eat sushi. For quality though, Aki Restaurant in downtown vancouver is simply the best cuz they have been around for a long time (30 years, I think).

My wife won't let me have my badminton gear in our bedroom.

She'd look good in BG-66.

As for my Sp's - though they are listed as mid-flex, they are as stiff as say the NS 9000 I tested.

Part of my rants about what constitutes as "stiff" ... as it is quite obvious what one company touts as stiff is acually quite flexy compared to others. The ProAce I got is more whippy than the NS-7000 though it's suppossed to be stiff.
