I am so happy to see there are more bar/lounge place that are opening up for weekend brunch! This way, they get to show off their culinary skills, additional to offering bar food or small plates to accompany their cocktails or any yummy beverages. And, the best part is that I get to try them! […]
This is the second review of Beard Papa’s. (You can read my first review here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/beard-papas/) They are Japanese chain, and said to be one of the BEST cream puffs in the world. There used to be several locations in NYC a few years ago, but now, there is only one locations now. So, if […]
One of my favorite Japanese restaurant in NYC is Bohemian. Not only they have amazing food, but they have the best setting for relaxing, calm, cozy, and beautiful dining space. They are exclusive (referral-only) East Village Japanese restaurant, hidden behind a butcher shop. No open table reservation or walk-in allowed here. You either have to […]
I love Izakaya, and have been to a few of them in NYC and in Japan. The thing about Izakaya is that they are mostly open for dinner or late night. If they are open during lunch, they have regular lunch menu instead of Izakaya style menu, which is more like tapas, or small plates […]
I am always looking for a “hidden” restaurant in NYC (or anywhere for that matter). When I found this place, I was very excited to visit them. Their name, Sakagura means a sake warehouse, so they have over 200 kinds of sake there, which is very impressive. They are more of an Izakaya which I […]

But at the end of the day, my favorite is still Japanese food, hands down. When I heard of a unique ramen […]
When I want some “interesting” sushi, not the authentic kind, I venture out to non-Japanese sushi restaurant. Non-authentic, “exotic” (to me) kinds of sushi can be pretty good, if you find a restaurant with talented sushi chef. I found an interesting sushi restaurant in MA, with a few awards including “Best Sushi Restaurant” in the […]
My favorite cuisine is still Japanese food, and even though I love all sorts of different cuisine from all over the world, I still crave some good Japanese food every now and then if I don’t get to have them for a while. But, it is not always easy to find a good Japanese restaurants, […]
This is my second review of Tampopo Ramen (you can read my first review by going here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/tampopo-ramen/) Since we had such nice food at Tampopo Ramen a few month ago, we decided to go back for some more. We figured that they now had more experience running the restaurant since they opened, so everything […]
