May 2008 Meeting
At April's gathering we had a rather low turnout at Sansui West. However, the quality of the food was good, and we continue to recommend it.
For May, I picked a late date to avoid all the graduations, holidays, and such. We'll be visiting a place that I've never been to. Reviews tend to vary greatly on this place, so I've never known what to think. The location is pretty prime; smack in the Delmar Loop. And its been there for some time, so it obviously has staying power. Its time to check it out, and find out whether this place is up to the standards of the KSC.

April 2008 Meeting
At March's gathering we had a good turnout at Sekisui. The quality was good, and I believe all enjoyed it. Unfortunately, no sign of Kenji that evening.
For April, we'll be meeting late in the month in deference to those observing the Jewish holiday of Passover. We'll be returning to a restaurant we've often regarded as one of the top sushi locations in town with respect to quality. However, service has been of varying quality in past visits. Let's see if things have improved with another visit to...

November 2007 Kosher Sushi Club
Last month the Kosher Sushi Club travelled way west into St. Charles county. We had a solid meal at Crazy Sushi near Mid Rivers Malls. Both service and the fish were good, but unexceptional. The unanimous verdict was good, but not worth the long drive.
For November, we're traveling west again, but not nearly as far. On Tuesday November 6 we'll be visiting Osaka. We visited this simple yet charming restaurant right after they first opened. We were very impressed and have not returned since. We're eager to see if the fish and rice are as good as we remember. This was a hidden gem in west county -- we're hoping the place still impresses.
Onto the details:

October 2007 Kosher Sushi Club
Last month we had a kind-of/sort-of meeting when I spun a sake event at the Drunken Fish in the Central West End. The evening was a lot of fun, though my after set meal found the sushi still average and over-priced. A recent trip to Cha Yoon / Chi down the street in the CWE, shows that they still have some of the best rolls and pieces in town for a reasonable price. We may be visiting there in November.
This month we're venturing west ... way west. The club hasn't crossed the Missouri River in a couple of years, and all the new places seem to be popping up out there. This month we're headed to Crazy Sushi, a sushi bar well reviewed on our only trip out there. The service was exceptional and the sushi above average, if not exemplary. I'm curious to see if the initial review holds up!
Onto the details.
Wednesday October 10 at 7:30 PM (due note the later starting time to allow for travel).

August 2007 Kosher Sushi Club
After taking July off, Kosher Sushi Club is ramping up. This month we're heading down to one of my old stomping grounds, Rue 13. Located on the Wash Ave strip, Rue 13 is the only night club to survive the gentrification of the neighborhood. A couple years back, Washington Ave. was home to upwards of a dozen clubs. Almost all have vanished or moved to other neighborhoods.
Despite being a night club, Rue has always had consistently good sushi. Wednesday night they offer fantastic drink specials ($1 Pabst, well and infused sake), and I believe the reduced price sushi menu is in effect if you order early (but please don't quote me on that ... I could be wrong). If you stay late enough, a fantastic local DJ, Kenny Kingston, will take you on a journey through time as he visits "dollar bin" records of 1985 - 1995.
Good sushi, cheap booze, great beats -- how can we go wrong? Hope to see you there!
On to the details:
