HAZUKI Asian Cuisine

This post is about a 6 month old restaurant in the lower cafeteria area of Utah Valley University.  Hazuki is an Asian fusion place that offers up rice and noodle bowls with chicken, shrimp, and a variety of sauces such as curry, ginger, and teriyaki.  Meat includes hibachi chicken which is the the healthiest and tastiest option, as well as tempura chicken (pictured below) and tempura shrimp. Toppings include peanuts, green onions, and crunchy noodles.  The prices are $5.95 for a bowl and it's very filling.  They also serve pork or vegetable egg rolls.  This part of the lower cafeteria has always been problematic.  Chik-Fil-A was too expensive, Wolverine Wok had poor quality and terrible tasting Asian food, Teriyaki Stix was too plain and only temporary.  This current place, Hazuki, is very tasty and filling and the prices are fairly reasonable.  It is worth a try.  The problem is the hours.  It is only open til 2pm and so the late afternoon and evening crowd of students, faculty, and staff miss out on the new Asian cuisine.  It is a delicious alternative to the sandwiches, pizza, and Mexican food also offered in the same area, but which is served til the evening hours.

If you like Subway then you will like the veggie patty sandwich, even if you don't like vegetarian stuff.  The Subway Veggie Patty is filling and tastes pretty much like meat so you feel like you are not missing anything.  Most people don't even realize Subway has a veggie patty option as it doesn't have a picture on the menu and is on on the left hand bottom side in one of the middle menus.  It's delicious and you can pretty much choose any veggie and sauce option to go with it.    I gave a 3 star rating simply because I personally tire of sandwiches easily and grow bored with the same old taste of Subway.

The new McDonald's Fish Bites are here for your consumption.  These fish bites are not as crispy as chicken bites.  They are more soft and flaky.  The batter is thick but tasty with a seasoned flavor.  The meat inside is tasty and very moist, but so small due to the bite size.  Hence repeated eating.  Like the old slogan "You can't have just one . . . ".  The tartar sauce was surprisingly tasty.  It was pretty thick with chunks of pickle or something that gave it a full flavor and perfectly complimented the bites which are tasty, but tend to get doughy after repeated bites, so the sauce helps.  Like most tasty things the calories, cholesterol, sodium, and fat content are problematic.  But these bites are worth a try.  They don't really have a fishy taste either which is always a plus.  The texture, however, is definitely fishish.  The price is $2.99 for the regular size, $1.99 for the snack size, and over $4 for the larger sizes.

Arby's Reel Big Fillet Fish Sandwich Review

This must be the season of the fish as popular fast food restaurants are releasing new and improved fish sandwiches and related products.  Arby's has renamed their fish sandwich probably to compete with the new addition of a fish sandwich to Wendy's menu.  The Arby's version is larger and cheaper than Wendy's and the taste is about the same, though I would probably choose the Wendy's version.  For 50 cents extra you can add a cheese slice or the cheese sauce so tastily enhancing to the roast beef sandwiches but not so good to the fish.  The size of the Arby's Reel Fish Fillet is filling and at two for $5 an excellent deal.  The fish is obviously a frozen then reheated patty and the bun is the same one on their more popular roast beef sandwiches.  The concern is the calories, cholesterol, and sodium content, each of which is too high.  Perhaps they should offer a grilled piece of fish rather than the heavily breaded fish they currently offer.  There is, however, a slight amount of fiber and a great amount of protein.  Though this sandwich was good, for the amount of calories I want to absolutely enjoy it and this new fish fillet is not reely the best catch.
