    You'll laugh at this. I found a Japanese place that my friend said is "just okay" but they have unadon. Guess how much it is.

    Answer

    ~$39.

    She never had the unadon so I don't even know if it's any good. It might not be. Japanese restaurants here often have some best dishes like gyoza which are hard to screw up. But other things on the menu are not that good.

        Maybe the serving size is really big

        I hadn't even thought of that. But where I live the norm is portions are smaller than the American norm.

        You gonna give it a shot at some point?

        If it was a something like a one star restaurant - most likely. I'd make it a present to myself even though it's a crazy price. I've walked by the restaurant and looked inside. It's nothing special judging from the interior. I don't give a crap about that put most people do.

        If my hunch is right and the the unadon is just okay - I'll never have it. This 39 buck meal is a reminder to me that the restaurant is close enough to downtown that it surely gets some tourist business. And as I said - tourists tend to be total morons with money to burn.

        I really have no idea (just assumptions) about how the rich eat here. Maybe they think the restaurant is "folksy" or whatever. If I ever see a ~100 grand SUV the size of an APC parked near the restaurant - maybe the driver is getting the 39 dollarbowl for takeout. The rich are total morons with money to burn too.
