Was originally on an award ticket flying in J on JL going into YVR, but my flight from BKK arrived slightly early so I changed my ticket at the transfer desk to take a direct flight into LAX instead. Disappointed to have been on the old 777 but getting home 7 hours earlier when I needed to be back on a plane to the east coast that night was worth the sacrifice.

I went with the western menu because I wasn't sure of the Japanese menu and I kind of wished I'd done the Japanese menu instead because my seat mate ordered it and it looked delicious AND beautifully presented.

In any case, the shrimp cocktail starter was good, and the "seasonal greens" with the Japanese soy vinagrette was tasty.

Unfortunately the Jibu-ni chicken was a miss. The chicken itself had no real flavor and a soggy texture so I had to slather it in sauce to make it edible. The rice was way sticky and the ume-fu cake was just strange. Blech.

At least the sundae was a nice palate cleanser! ^
