Eating (and Drinking) in the Time of Covid-19 – Take-Out from Poseidon Project and Wa Dining Okan

A few more take-out orders….

Poseidon Project:

Poseidon Covid 00 Poseidon Covid 02My favorite weekly "pau hana time" stop is now doing take-out pizza, beer, and family meals. So, how can I not support the place?

Mostly stopping to pick up a couple of beers now and then; though the Missus has really taken to the Wild Barrel Vice with Passion Cactus Dragon Fruit. I knew the Missus would enjoy this Berlinerweisse the first time I tasted it. I'm happy to get it for Her while they still have it in stock.

And once in a while; one of their pizzas will hit it out of the park…..

Bentos from Wa Dining Okan:

If you're standing in line to get into Nijiya, you can't miss their signs.

I called while waiting in line at Nijiya and ordered the Karaage Bento. When I finished my shopping, I popped in.

In fact, I kinda prefer this to my recent sit-down lunches.

And the miso soup was perhaps the best I've had from Okan.

I decided to order again on my last trip to Nijiya and this time ordered the Buta Kakuni.

I might do this again while waiting in line at Nijiya.

And this post on Okan goes out to "FOY" (friend-of-yoso) ChrisR, who is always the first to gently remind me via email, of how wrong I am whenever I type a negative word on Okan. I hope you and yours are safe and in good health Chris!

  1. Hi Kirk,
    How’s Okan been lately? We stopped going there a few years ago after they changed their menu from the original AND it seemed their quality also slipped. The flavors weren’t as “clear” or “distinct” as they used to be.

  2. Hi Daantat – I actually preferred the bento at Okan to anything I’ve recently had in the restaurant. It’s not cheap though. The buta kakuni was pretty good.
