Default Saturday Night Weekly Car Meet - Burke, Virginia

I am a previous 350z owner and recently got a GT-R.

My wife is the owner/operator of a chinese restaurant in Burke, VA. I spend my nights and weekends, after my IT job , in the restaurant with my GT-R parked outside. We have a big parking lot in a secluded shopping center anchored by two pizza places with lot's of available parking after 7:00 PM. I figure the best way to see some great cars and meet some great people when I can't go out is to bring them to me.

For a little incentive, we are offering 10% off the first 10 people to show up every Saturday. We received our ABC license a few weeks ago and just started serving sushi as well; if that is what you are into. We are open until 10:30 so swing by anytime.

All car enthusiasts are welcome, so you can invite other boards as well. One of our employees is bringing some drivers from the Lexus/IS boards next weekend, Saturday May 22nd @7:30 PM, so a strong Nissan/Infiniti showing would be cool. (Originally posted on NAGTROC)

You can find directions here: Duk Wo Restaurant

Tips and suggestions for getting a recurring meetup going are welcome.

Joe B

very nice man. As a wanna be GTR G35 conversion and sushi lover...this sounds great. Now if I can just get my car back and off the dyno we will be good to go. Although the Pathfinder will fit in at any VQ meet.

thanks Joe... flag me down if you see me in burke, we have friends down there.

I use to go to your restaurant all the time back in the days when I was closer in the area. My ex-gf would always order your soup and she says it's the best in the world.

I'm in the mood for some sushi right now.

Yeah our soup gets a lot of compliments. We got rid of a couple that didn't sell well and increased the quality of the others especially the hot & sour.

We just bought this restaurant back in January and have been remodeling and increasing the food quality ever since.

I added a page to the website tonight for albums. I plan on taking pics and posting the good ones on our website. A couple of GT-R's might swing by tomorrow evening after the AAM open house, but it will probably be earlier than the 7:30 PM meet.

If anyone is cruising around looking for something to do Saturday night stop by.

Joe

Here is my old 350z on the Dyno at AAM August 2003, before I put in CAI & Injen exhaust.

Yeah, sorry about that. Unlike most "Chinese Restaurants" we have a trained sushi chef who works in DC during the day. We are trying to offer a higher level of food than the typical places and these guys and quality fish aren't cheap. We thought we would start off a little slow and as you probably noticed the dine in customers were all but driven away by the previous owners.

I must have missed you on Sunday. I was there until about noon putting the new table tops on the bases and then went home for a few hours to relax.

If anyone comes by and sees the Gunmetal GT-R outside just ask for Joe.
