hi Splitsun, thanks for visiting. And for the recommendations on Benihana.

I have not been to Hanami but I’ve been told that their sushi is ok in comparison to Benihana’s (where I have been several times). I’ve heard dismal reports on Laughing Buddha though.

If you do go to Benihana’s, I suggest you try the Peru Roll. A waitress suggested it becuase it was not listed on the menu at the time. It turned out to be a table favourite and a second round was ordered even though we were all stuffed.

Well, like I said, it’s not necessarily the greatest, but it’s not awful (in my view of course) but I haven’t been to the other 2 yet. Soon maybe soon. Waiting to hear about Laughing Budda when you go!

As far as i know, the Three main Sushi Locations in T&T are Benihana, Laughing Bhudda and Hanami…
Dude, personally i cant stand Hanami…thier sushi to me pales in comparison to that @ Benihana. Hell, their rice tastes like its parboiled! Im assuming u havent been to beni, seeing as it wasnt mentioned, i STRONGLY suggest u try it out.
Now i’ve heard from many friends that Laughing Bhudda is better, with a larger variety and so on, but i have yet to find out myself…will do so soon however.
Will let u know how eet is

Hi and welcome Jamie. I haven’t been in a couple months, but it was at the back of the promenade (?) on your left just before you approach the box office – where the clothing boutiques etc are and next to the outdoor bar in that area. It’s still on their website http://movietowne.com/retail_stores.htm but then, can we trust that information?
Someone who is in Trinidad now can advise us perhaps?
