Live, from Peoria, Illinois, it’s Saturday Night starring this week’s host, Sushi KO and featuring special guest stars, Amber and Joe and the unnamed owner of Sushi KO.
Now, please welcome from the back of the Metro Centre, this week’s host, Sushi KO!
Here we are at Sushi KO in the Metro Centre. I’ve never been here and have been meaning to try it out for years! Well, to quote both Rod Stewart and Neil Young…Tonight’s the night!
Let’s go in and start our Saturday night at Sushi KO!
Samantha was standing at the host table looking pretty and she told me to sit anywhere I wanted to. I resisted the urge to sit on the floor and went looking for a table.
As I looked for a table I saw two familiar faces seated in here…
It’s my friends and frequent MBIP guest stars, Amber and Joe! They’re looking fabulous and it’s always great to have them along as our special Saturday night guest stars!
As you can see, Amber’s ready for a drink!
They have an extensive menu here with lots of photos of the dishes offered.
We chose our orders and gave them to our waitress who was a little camera shy and said we could take a photo of the owner, who was over at the sushi bar…
And here he is, the esteemed owner of Sushi KO!
I didn’t get his name as he was busy preparing some sushi rolls, but he told me to feel free to take some photos, so that’s exactly what I’m going to do!
There’s a shot of the dining room and tables line the walls in here.
I like the art in here and my favorite is the woman smoking a cigarette, something you don’t see in restaurants much in these smoke-free days!
Here’s a shot from the back of the dining room.
Meanwhile, back at our table…
Our Saturday night dinner is starting to arrive!
We started off with an appetizer of a Mexican Roll and an order of the Crab Rangoon.
The Mexican Roll was really tasty and bursting with flavor and the Crab Rangoon were crispy treats with rich crab inside of them.
There’s a shot of Amber and Joe enjoying the appetizer selections!
And now our main courses have arrived!
I got the Five Spiced Beef entree which are sheets of seasoned and spiced beef. Note: If you order this dish, you may want to order rice or noodles with it. I assumed it would come with a side dish, but it was just the beef slices which were nicely seasoned and very tasty. The dish also answers this question.
Amber and Joe got a Dynamite Roll and a Dragon Roll. They look spectacular!
Here’s a somewhat fuzzy shot of Amber and Joe enjoying their dinner, I turn the flash off for these candid shots, so sometimes they have a little bit of a fuzz tone to them!
Thanks to everyone at Sushi KO for a fabulous Saturday night dinner and thanks to Amber and Joe for joining me. It’s always fun to have them along as special guest stars for a nice Saturday night on the town in Peoria, Illinois!
