Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side. I didn’t expect the turkey to be just one piece, and the bread was toasted so hard that it removed one layer of the sandwich. Since ...

After 5 Years Dining at Sugi Japanese Restaurant

Carmina had a family member who was the one who introduced Sugi Japanese Restaurant to her five years ago. We used to dine there every time there was a special occasion.

Upon entering on the left side there will be someone to assist you asking how many you are, so they have found a table for you. 

I suggest if you are a lot, you can call ahead and make a reservation. 

After entering five years later you notice the decoration and the menu has upgraded. Looking at the menu got me so confused good thing the server was able to explain it to us.

Mom Violy's common Japanese food is always the chicken teriyaki bento box. The person helping us said they have items off the menu.

Mom Violy was able to get her favorite chicken teriyaki bento box includes with Japanese rice and miso soup.

Mom Violy also wanted some sushi, yet she cannot remember what she had ordered.

Elle and her friend Esa shared mixed vegetable tempura and sushi that had eel. I am not sure what the name of sushi is. 


Mom Violy requested Carmina to order some beef sukiyaki soup. Carmina only requested a small portion was told it is 2 persons.

We couldn't finish our meal. Mom Violy took it home.

My favorite all time appetizer is their eggplant. They have a different name I couldn't quite pick it up when the server told me what it was.

The other family member had their own separate meals of the tonkatsu with Japanese rice and miso soup.


Beef Teriyaki with Japanese rice includes side dish vegetables and miso soup. 

Mom Violy requested to take pictures before heading out and you can see the server from Sugi Japanese Restaurant at our back also smiling at the camera.

We're told that Sugi Japanese Restaurant will be moving to another faculty their last day is on February 4, 2024.
