Friday night - need dinner suggestion - trying to please out of towners & locals with varying palates, etc. (Pasadena area)
Based on all the variables, I'd go with The Luggage Room.
Looking for French Haute Cuisine pressed duck, anywhere in the L.A area.
Why don't you just go to Josie's and get duck? It's not the duck you think you want, but it may be the duck you will like.
Pasadena food lovers
Green Street Tavern is a finer cuisine and more expensive. But I do like the burgers and the Thai pasta salad at Houston's.

Los Angeles Restaurants on The Daily Meal's "101 Best Restaurants in America"
Thanks. Hmmm. No Chinese. No sushi.
Urth Cafe coming to Pasadena
Likewise. A certain amount of competition from Europane and Love Birds.
Sushi help
Hide on Sawtelle is a no ambience, good value for large pieces place (NB: cash only).
On the other extreme, Asanebo in the Valley has smaller more exotic pieces at high prices.

Angeli Caffe closing!
I think it is an example of good, competent, tasty Italian food circa 1980 with excellent bread. I would eat there frequently if I lived close.

Eating on the Floor in the Valley
I was asked to come up with some place, probably funky and foreign, where you sit on pillows or something and chow down. Preferably in a closed space like a cabana or something. In the SFV. Any ideas welcomed.

Pasadena on or near Colorado street, what are the best places?
Check out the "Pasadena is weak" thread.
Curious which is better from those who have been: Nishi-Ya or Go's Mart?
You might give Asanebo a try. Expensive but very good.

Smoked Pomfret and Chinese Cold Crab and Shark fin's soup
You can also get the soup at Mission 261.
Lunch recs after Auto Show at the covention center?
There's actually some decent looking food at the Auto Show. It's just twice the price it should be.
Asian Cajun Not A Fad After All; Oysters, On The Other Hand...
No you are not alone--yet.
Sea Harbour Seafood on Rosemead and Valley
Ditto.
It might be good to be one if you are having abalone or even a small steamed fish.
Wild salmon at Costco - anyone know what time of year it's available?
I believe I have regularly seen frozen wild salmon filets (6 in a box) at Costco in Alhambra.

Golds 99 essential restaurants 2011 up
No, there are many seafood places on his list. i am saying Urasawa is outside the reach of many of his readers.

Golds 99 essential restaurants 2011 up
I'm thinking essential to Gold also includes an element of not completely outside the reach of most of his readers. And I think he knows that anyone who really is in to food in LA would be aware of Urasawa. So by taking it off the list, he gets to include one other more affordable place.
He's certainly aware of Urasawa and of seafood. He used to eat at Masa when it was in a strip mall location as I recall.
