El restaurante desde afuera
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii, what's up? Do you like Asian food? Do you have any favorite Asian meal? This past Saturday I went out to eat with my girlfriend and her mom to Taka Sushi, a small but pretty sushi restaurant in Valencia, Carabobo, Venezuela. Let me tell you how it went. 馃憞馃憞馃憞馃憞馃憞
Hoooola, 驴qu茅 m谩s? 驴Les gusta la comida asi谩tica? 驴Tienen alguna comida asi谩tica favorita? Este s谩bado pasado sal铆 a comer con mi novia y su mam谩 a Taka Sushi, un peque帽o pero bonito restaurante de sushi en Valencia, Carabobo, Venezuela. D茅jenme contarles como me fue. 馃憞馃憞馃憞馃憞馃憞
The restaurant is in a corner of the entrance of the Otama Shopping Center, in Valencia, I had seen the sign outside a couple of times when I have passed by with my girlfriend, I am not from Valencia but my girlfriend is, she was the one who told me about it and we decided to go.
El restaurante queda en una esquina de la entrada del Centro Comercial Otama, en Valencia, yo hab铆a visto el letrero de fuera un par de veces cuando he pasado por all铆 con mi novia, yo no soy de Valencia pero mi novia si, ella fue la que me lo coment贸 y decidimos ir.

They have the option of eating outside or inside, on the first floor or upstairs, we decided to go upstairs. It was all very nicely decorated, I especially loved the paintings on the walls and the lanterns on the ceilings and how the light entered to the place without bothering, there was also a good view. Also the plates on the tables and the decorations complemented the ambiance very well, I have never been to Japan nor have I eaten in many Asian looking places but this one gave me the feeling of being there eating on a normal day.
Tienen la opci贸n de comer fuera o dentro en la planta baja o la de arriba, nosotros decidimos subir. Estaba todo muy bien ambientado y decorado, am茅 en especial las pinturas en las paredes y los faroles en los techos adem谩s de como entraba toda la luz natural sin cegar y la buena vista que hab铆a. Tambi茅n los platos sobre las mesas y los adornos complementaban muy bien la ambientaci贸n, nunca he ido a Jap贸n ni he comido en muchos lugares de apariencia asi谩tica pero este me daba la sensaci贸n de estar all谩 comiendo en un d铆a normal.

They had good music too, you could watch some videos on some TVs that were in the room, they had Soda Est茅reo and rock of that style which was good for a calm atmosphere.
Ten铆a buena m煤sica tambi茅n, se pod铆an ver unos videos en unos televisores que hab铆a en la sala, ten铆an puesto Soda Est茅reo y rock de ese estilo que hac铆a bien para un ambiente calmado.
They have a varied menu clearly specialized in sushi, with many variants and flavors, among so many things what caught my attention was the "Yakisoba", which are noodles, and I love noodles! Next to pasta, they are one of my favorite foods and I could happily eat them every day; without thinking too much I ordered them.
Tienen un men煤 variado claramente especializado en sushi, con muchas variantes y sabores, entre tantas cosa me llam贸 la atenci贸n la "Yakisoba", que son fideos, y yo amo los fideos!! Junto a la pasta, son de mis comidas favoritas y podr铆a comerlos todos los d铆as felizmente; sin pensarlo mucho los ped铆.
It was a good amount of noodles, it had chicken and a bit of veggies, a bit greasy for my taste but they were fried noodles, not much you can do about that. They were seasoned with sesame seeds, soy sauce, I think onion and other spices, the taste was very good.
Los fideos eran una buena cantidad, tra铆an pollo y un poco de vegetales como piment贸n y as铆, un poco grasosos para mi gusto pero eran fideos fritos, no se puede hacer mucho al respecto. Estaban salteados con semillas de ajonjol铆, salsa de soya, creo que cebolla y otras especias, de sabor estaban muy buenos.
To drink, I ordered a Jamaica Tea, which I thought it was a jamaica flower tea, and it was, although it also had passion fruit, a fruit that I don't like and I realized the drink had when they brought it to me. I just drank it, I didn't want to get it changed as I already tasted it.
Para acompa帽arlo ped铆 un T茅 de Jamaica, que cre铆a que era un t茅 de flor de jamaica, y as铆 fue, aunque tambi茅n ten铆a parchita, fruta que no me gusta y me di cuenta que ten铆a ya cuando me lo trajeron. Igualmente me lo tom茅 como ya me lo hab铆an tra铆do.
Something funny that happened to us is that they didn't give us forks, only chopsticks to eat, my girlfriend doesn't know much how to use them but I do, not that I am an expert but a Chinese friend of mine taught me many years ago. Anyway, eating those thin noodles was not an easy task and it happened to me that when I was going to give a little piece of chicken to my girlfriend, I dropped it because I didn't have a good grip. 馃槬. I liked the experience, I don't always eat with chopsticks and it helps me not to forget how to use them.
Algo curioso que nos pas贸 es que no nos dieron tenedores, solo palillos para comer, mi novia no sabe mucho como usar los palillos pero yo s铆, tampoco es que yo sea un experto pero una amiga china me ense帽贸 hace muchos a帽os. De igual manera comer esos fideos tan delgados no fue cosa f谩cil y me pas贸 que cuando le iba a darle un pedacito de pollo a mi polola, se me cay贸 pues no ten铆a buen agarre. 馃槬. Me gust贸 la experiencia, no siempre como con palillos y me ayuda a no olvidar como es la cosa.
My girlfriend on the other hand ordered some "Wakame roll", sushi roles with shrimp with a wakame salad, which is a seaweed; the salad was tasty and although I didn't try the roles my girlfriend told me they were very good. To go with it, she ordered a Coca Cola. My mother-in-law had already eaten so she did not have lunch with us.
Mi novia por otra parte pidi贸 unos "Wakame roll", roles de sushi con camarones con una ensalada de wakame, que es una alga; la ensalada estaba rica y aunque no prob茅 los roles mi novia me dijo que estaban muy buenos. Para acompa帽ar, ella se pidi贸 una Coca Cola. Mi suegra ya hab铆a comido entonces no almorz贸 con nosotros
