I went to Linguini’s for an end of semester celebration with my boyfriend and found it to be even better suited than I had expected it to be. I was only mildly disappointed at the lack of bread offered before the meal (which is something that I’m accustomed to at places like this), but the affordability, huge portion sizes and great tasting food more than made up for it.

Their pizza was fantastic (as was the pasta dish we shared both of) and our waitress was very friendly willing to give suggestions of her favorite dishes and seemed to genuinely love the food there. I’d definitely go there just to pick up pizza on a Friday night as it’s about the same price as any other pizza, but so much tastier!

My only complaints about the places was that it was a bit drafty and the service (though very friendly) was a big slow, but we did go at an odd time of the day and so they were a bit understaffed and are probably used to having more people around to fill the place with body heat.

The chef is obviously proud of his restaurant and all the love he has poured into everything on his menu. Although he makes all of the traditional dishes you would normally find at a hibachi grill, he has put thought and minor adjustments to most of the items to make them a bit more him and very tasty.

The food there has always been amazing when I’ve gone, but what I really go back for is the entertainment. The chef (yes, there is just one) is very friendly and charismatic. While most hibachi grills seem to stick to the same script for the meal and make very little effort to go beyond that, Captain Nemo’s chef goes above and beyond not only making conversation, but jokes tailored to each group and their age/interests/etc.

Some people are bothered when Japanese/Asian restaurants have non-Asian chefs, but Captain Nemo’s staff is so friendly that I don’t see how anybody could have a problem with that here.

I am someone who really loves to get to feel at home at a restaurant… like I could easily become a regular there and be welcomed and remembered as family and this is definitely a place that makes that feeling come easy.

I’d definitely recommend this to ANYONE who loves hibachi grills as some place much more laid back, but just as tasty (if not more so) than the norm. :)

I know, who would have thought that little old Fargo would have a sushi restaurant that was any good, but we do, in fact, have two of them. Of the two, Sushi Time is much better. Cheng, the chef, is both friendly and very skilled. He gives great sized portions at a very reasonable price.

If you ask to try something new or different he’s always got suggestions and is responsible for the variety of sushi I’ve had because of this. Even when I’ve not asked he often makes suggestions or asks if I’d like to try something new.

All of his food is fresh and his rice is always cooked perfectly.

Plus, how many times can you say that you’ve been to a sushi restaurant that’s inside of Irish Pub that’s inside of a hotel? Only in Fargo… only in Fargo…. Ha!

I love it though. Definitely a treat whenever I get a chance to go there and the #1 MUST GO restaurant on my list whenever I visit Fargo. If you ever get the change to go to Fargo and love sushi, be sure to check it out.

And if you love sushi and live in Fargo? Don’t be afraid to make yourself a regular, it’s sure to become a journey into new delights.

Oh, there’s also a bar menu too with lots of American foods for your friends if they aren’t sushi fans…

We kind of happened on to this restaurant by chance when my parents and I were checking out Pittsburgh for the first time. A lot of the places were booked and so we just kept walking until we got a bit lost and came upon this little treasure. While it was fairly busy, we didn’t have to wait too long before getting a table of our own and the wait was well worth it.

The restaurant is very long and narrow, with a bar covering about half of one of the walls. It definitely has a relaxed atmosphere, though that made my whole family feel more than comfortable though it was quiet enough to hear everyone without raising our voices at all.

The food here was so fantastic that when my parents came back to Pittsburgh to help me move they both insisted on going back to the same restaurant instead of trying some place new. It’s also someplace I take anyone who wants to spend a bit more for a nicer meal as entrees are $20-30 dollars.

While I went with the crab and chicken, there were many other amazing choices to include from including fantastic sounding pastas and stuffed fillets (I’ve been meaning to try the one stuffed with spinach, mushroom and feta). There’s also plenty of seafood choices as well as ribs, etc. Definitely something to interest everyone in your party.
