Little J's Dining Adventures: The place I probably spend the most frivolous money at any given week... MIKUNI

Davis has no shortage of sushi buffets. Nobu, Fuji's, the appropriately titled Davis Sushi Buffet... all solid places to get tempura sushi in mass quantities for cheap. But if you want melt in your mouth deliciousness... Mikuni is where it's at! I cannot recommend their platters enough, $50 each on mondays! Feeds 4 comfortably or 3 to capacity with forcing yourself the last few bites ;) Great deal and super delicious varieties. But I mostly go there for happy hour! No, not that kind of happy hour, though they do make some sweet drinks and sake. They have $3-$5 rolls from 4-6 on weekdays! Amazingness, you can get a simple roll for $4 or $5, $1 miso soup, and unagi of the day for $4! plus tempura, edamame, and FLAMING SHROOMS are all on the menu too. Flaming shrooms are tempura mushrooms stuffed with crab and cheese and covering in spicy sauce. Best thing EVER. Wow now I really want to go back. Good thing I'm going on tuesday! (All my tip money goes to this restaurant).

Pro-tip-- Sign up for the Mikuni card and you get a point for every dollar you spend. If you are a frequent eater like me, it's awesome cuz you get shirts and gift cards and points towards vacations and such after a few hundred points, easy if you go with bigger groups! They give you points based on the total bill, not just your plate. :)
