Spicy "Tuna" Roll

Besides farmers market extravaganzas while in California, I wanted to try as many completely new to me restaurants as possible.  Mitasie, a Vietnamese vegetarian spot with over 60 item choices,  was one of the first on the list.  I was lucky enough to have a few friends that LOVE it .  They helped me with my choices and we weren’t disappointed.

I did some research and Mitasie is not exactly a *new* restaurant.  It’s more a revamped one with an all new veggie menu (soon to list out which items are VEGAN on the menu). The owner was also our server and she was the nicest lil thing!  The service will definitely never let you down here.  She also knows the menu like the back of her hand (I believe she created it) so any questions were easily answered.

Our appetizer was my favorite dish of the whole meal- the Spicy “Tuna” Roll.  It had a mild kick and I’m not sure what was used to substitute tuna but it was spot on. This one will definitely be a repeat order for me.

Chickun Drumsticks

The texture of the drumsticks was satisfying, meaty and I think it’s cute that there is even a “bone”  to eat them off of.  The drumsticks were probably my runner up  item of the night.  My favorite part about all “Asian” eateries is the way they cook their vegetables.  They are rarely over done and have a nice crunch to them.  Can you tell they’re crunchy from this picture??    yum

Peppery Shrimp

1st off, AVOID EATING ALL THE JALAPENOS in this dish!  Not that I tried but I want it noted: Teddy did not recommend you to eat ALL of them. lol Again shrimp texture was correct but my only problem with this one is the SALT.  There was too much for my taste. Other than that, I <3 spicy and this dish doesn’t hold back on that.  I pushed myself to eat a few of the peppers but stopped out of fear of experiencing  repercussions later that night.

Garlic Noodles

I didn’t have much of these noodles so I feel ill equipped to fully review them.  They had shrimp in them too (less salty and, therefore, more enjoyable). I would try this one again too, if only to make a full assessment of it.

okay, one restaurant down only a MILLION more to go haha
