I was raised to always try new things and experience the most out of life, whether it's food related, sights and views , or even the simplest things such as watching a sunset or sunrise. I'm a very down to earth person and I get satisfied easily (that's your perception on if that's a good or bad thing ) and so when it comes to eating especially, the establishment doesn't have to be fancy, a well known place or get a 5 star ratings but if it's highly recommended, the portions and price is reasonable or they have good service, then I'm open to check it out.
Just a few blocks from downtown phoenix, on the corner sits a tiny hole in the wall establishment that I have seen before but have yet to stop in until today and I'm glad I did. Blue fin is a small place that specializes in teriyaki, seafood and Japanese entrees. I definitely have to check out their teriyaki chicken the next time I dine in, this time though I ordered the pork katsu ( tender pork cutlet breaded with Japanese Panko breadcrumbs and mixed with steamed eggs and garnish )with a side of shrimp tempura all served with a plate of rice and fresh tossed salad with a ginger glazed dressing. I can say with all honesty, this tastes exactly like the way my grandma cooks it and in my opinion it was prepared and made really well. Of course I had to order dessert as well and so I picked up a small order of Mochi ice cream; green tea, strawberry and chocolate ice cream wrapped and rolled into Mochi flour. The sweetness and coldness helped with cooling me off on this warm day. And if you need a place to take a breather after eating, cross the street and check out the Burton Barr library and head to the fifth floor and check out the downtown phoenix skyline. Hopefully your foodcoma doesn't kick in right away haha. Until next time, Feastm0de!
