My friends and I are planning on going out to eat on Thursday to a Japanese Steakhouse. I'm worried about what I should eat. Any suggestions??

    Steamed rice instead of fried, for sure!

    Ooo, I know this! I work in an Asian restaurant I get to play this game every day! LOL

    Ask for "no sauce" or sauce on the side if its cooked in* anything but butter. Ask for steamed rice instead of fried (white or brown is still better than fried). The egg noodles aren't too bad if they've no extra sauce, but I haven't investigated rice noodles yet. Also, as it has been said, stick to veggies if you can.

    If they offer "sweet carrots" just say NO. It's carrots cooked in butter and sugar. It's awful good, awful sweet, and awful for you.

    NO EGGROLLS and steer clear of anything with "Tempura" in the name.

    If the restaurant is the type I think it is (teppan grill), you should be okay. They use more fat than you would cooking at home, but they serve a lot of veggies, and usually the starter is something like miso soup (which isn't bad at all). If they offer shrimp or fish, go for that (fewer calories than beef), and as others have said, stay away from tempura or other fried things. Enjoy your supper!

    But it's soooo bad for you 0.0

    I have to keep that as my mantra while I'm at work serving it to customers going, "I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it."

    Our Japanese Steakhouse-type restaurants here all serve sushi, so I usually get a veggie sushi roll... maybe soup or edamame on the side or something... and that is usually light, delicious and filling to me!
