Teashop Restuarant in Flushing: All You Can Eat Review

So OMG....so a couple days ago I went to one of my favorite spots in Flushing for food.  It's called the Teashop and too me its the most avante garde asian restarant in Flushing.  Its a mix of Modern Japanese food and Sushi. I love their Tuna Tartar on a Tortilla and its one of the few places to get Sushi that is non-supermarket grade in Flushing.  The best and freshest is still the expensive Korean Restaruants.  So it was the first time, I tried their ALL YOU CAN EAT menu and we went for lunch and I actually ate so much I couldn't even eat dinner.  So beyond that it is definately worth your buck to go eat here.  For a weekend lunch its $20.95 + Tip+ Tax.  Note the include 15% tip automatically.  And yes service is slow.  But the decor is nice

Appetizers/Soup

I think buffet is great because you can try all the expensive appetizers you would never risk ordering.

What we ordered:

The Mushroom Soup was really like water with a little flavor of Mushroom not really bad but if your looking for flavorful American Style soup you would not like this.  I ordered it and would probably order again in place of ordering a drink.  It really helped especially clear my palate.

The Curry Croquette was really bland and it was just 1 piece that looked like a hashbrown.  Would not order again.

Agedashi Tofu was bland as well.  Would not order again.

Quail Egg Wrapped in Bacon loved this !! Should have ordered more only 3 little eggs per order.  I love it so much I'm thinking of doing this as future appetizer for my parties.

Cheese Chikuwa its fried fish with a goey cheese filling inside, I loved it but thats my taste.  I don't think you really taste the fish. It comes in four small rolls, would order again.

Next time..I wanna try 

Kani Salad, Seaweed Salad, Miso Soup, Eel Sashimi, Wasabi Cracker, Shumai, Fried Calamari

Rolls/ Entrees

Okay one thing, I forgot about when ordering was how big Entrees are.  You have to finish your food so don't over order on Entrees because you'll get charged full price of whats left over.  I accidently ordered 3 rolls for myself and I forgot how large a regular order was.

Spicy Tuna Roll was okay, fish wasn't super fresh.

Rainbow Roll it was okay too.

Dragon Roll it was okay but really what makes a great one is super fresh fish.

Volcano Roll this was a surprise it was like these fried pieces on top so I would say good. 

Shrimp Tempura it was good but you really can't go wrong with Tempura.  I would not order again though because this really filled us up, and I don't know if we ordered but it came with a bunch of filling Veggie Tempura.

Fish Head Casserole my friend liked it and it looked really good.

Next time..will try to avoid too much fried foods

I want to try the Green Ocean Roll and Big Smile Roll, and some non fish entree like Sake Steamed Chicken, Beef Teriyaki

6 items or less challenge Week 3 Complete

Week 3 looks complete, I still think it doesn't look obvious that I'm wearing 6 pieces over and over again.  I think if I were doing this in an actual run, I could change stockings colors and that would further differentiate the looks.  Although for work it would be sheer black, dark grey and light grey.

Burger King Groupon

Check to see if you locally have this groupon, in Queens I have really close location that applies in Flushing.  You can't use coupons or other deals in combo but this is basically 50% and you don't have to deal with coupons and can order anything on the menu.  You do have to use it all in one visit and it ends at the end of the month.

6 items or less challenge {Outfit 15}

This is probably my most casual and girly outfit ever. I would only wear this on a Friday preferably before a holiday.  Again the sweater because the dress isn't well fitted makes the hemline of the skirt shorter.  The only good thing about the more baggy fit is that it hides a muffin top.  I used my versatile cardigan as a scarf because I wanted to disguise the awkward neckline since the sweater is a V-neck and the dress is a more round neck.  By doing this it makes it less obvious that I'm wearing a dress underneath.  I put on moccasins to complete the more preppy girly look and because I hadn't worn these in forever. 

 Note:  Normally in a conservative corporate environment, I would strongly advise wearing anything to girly.  Since I'm pretty confident and established in my skills, I can get away with it.  But if your new graduate or new to company..avoid this look by selecting a non-pink sweater. 

Cheap Jacks 99 Cent Store on 34 ST

I love love Cheap Jacks 99 Cent store on 34 ST, this is my hidden gem for finding Cheap American Groceries.  I really thing its a cast off store for top brand supermarkets in the city.  You do want to check expiration dates because sometimes you they expire within a week.  But seriously their inventory changes up all the time so you never know what you'll find.  And the best part is if your too lazy to coupon they have a lot of great dairy deals.  They almost always have pita bread, whole wheat wraps and bagels on rotation for $1.29!!!!  Best part is its right by the 1/9 train literally across the street if you come in at the back train of the Uptown line or the front on the Downtown line.

I picked up this WHOLE WHEAT 5lb of Flour for $1.29!!!! That is super cheap hurry, their lined up on the wall by the back door. The best deal I've ever gotten for Whole Wheat Flour, and its white so its really pleasing to the eye and great for hiding the fact that its whole wheat.  Yummy whole wheat pancakes on weekends to pair with all that past free pancake syrup I got from my glory freebie days!!!

They also had low fat Kraft Cheese slices for $1.49 too and typically carry shredded Sargenta Cheese for $1.29!! They also had milk for $1. I love getting my heavy cream from them so much cheaper!  I wanted to pick up their Turkey Hot Dogs it was a name brand one too for $1.79 considering I just say Ball Park on sale for $4 that is a steal.  They also had a huge 1lb roll of Johnsonville Sausages for $1.79.

I picked up 4 single packs of Tribe Hummus for $.99

Spreadable Sharp Cheddar Cheese for $1.29 ( i picked up the wrong one they had a bacon bit one)

Lemon Juice for $99

And if their frozen section, they had 6 patties (16 oz all together) of italian sausage for $1.79!!

ALSO.. it must be their preparing for spring cleaning or something because they had a ton of organization stuff. Like those lockable drawer dividers in a ton of colors and those tiered bins along with a ton of call plastic food containers in a bunch of sizes.

Cashmere/Silk Scarf I'm Coveting

  

                                                         YARNZ

                                                                                     Nest Cashmere Scarf

                                                                                        Style #:YARNZ40040

I was thinking... and I know this is sick but I was thinking .. I need a reward for myself when I'm done with this decluttering and moving.  And since I have too many clothes... I was thinking wouldn't it be awesome to reward myself with a amazing cashmere/silk scarf??  I have really made this realization that all you really need is basic pieces and just awesome accessories to bring your outfit to a new level.  It's been constantly said but it really didn't hit me till the 6 items or less challenge.  Any way this one is on sale right now at Shop Bop for $131.60.  They have the most unique scarfs..And yes.. its kinda a lot but the only thing I really think you can't compromise on is CASHMERE.  It really goes with everything and just makes everything more beautiful.  On top of the fact that its equally as warming as thick wool but alot less dense so you look less bulky.
