My favorite cuisine is seafood. The fresher, the better. If it is Japanese, even better. So, where can you get such seafood? Right by (or inside) the fish market in Japan! Yes, there are some famous ones out there, but you don’t need to go to the famous (a.k.a. crowded with tourists) fish market super […]
I love sushi, especially the really fresh, authentic, and sometimes unique kinds. Another thing I love is a hidden gem, both finding one and experiencing one. I managed to find a hidden gem of a Sushi restaurant in SF, called the Sushi Time, underground. It really didn’t look like a sushi restaurant (or any type […]
One of the best place to get fresh, delicious, amazing seafood is right at/by fish market. I have been wanting to visit one of the local’s restaurants by fish market for a long time… I finally got a chance to visit one in Kashiwa, Japan! There are several restaurants in a row right by the […]
Want to have authentic Japanese food at a Japanese restaurant operated/managed by Japanese people in Boulder? No problem! There is a restaurant called Tasuki, very unassuming but surprisingly awesome! (Tasuki is a sash used to tuck up the sleeves of a kimono, by the way). It is inside the small mall, on the second floor next […]
Bohemian restaurants are the perfect hide away spots, offering super relaxing atmosphere and very high quality food. They keep their address a secret, you have to be referred by who has been there, or be invited from the restaurant in order to make a reservation. Why? They want this place to be a quiet, peaceful […]
If you love sushi, you must be a fan of both extremely high quality & expensive kinds, and good quality & cheap kinds. If you are in Japan and you put quantity before quality, then you will find your self in one of those Kaiten-Sushi restaurants, where you can eat lots and lots of sushi […]
Robatayaki, sometimes shortened to “robata”, literally translates to fireside cooking. Robata actually refers to the method of slow-grilling seafood, vegetables and other delectable eats on flat grill above charcoal We went to one of the best Robataya restaurants in Tokyo, Roppongi Robataya for some tasty food! Roppongi Robataya is one of the very traditional restaurant, very […]
There are several eatery places inside the Chelsea Market, and they do have good selections, fresh, and tasty. C&P Galley is a quick service seafood joint, run by Cull & Pistol restaurant (right by it, offering sushi, oysters, etc.). They offer traditional clam shack fare including lobster rolls, Po’Boy, crab cake sandwiches and New England clam […]
Japanese restaurant with large sushi menu and teppanyaki. Very large space for family and friends, lots of cool, interesting Asian decoration. I assume there is not a single Japanese working here, but they try to over-compensate with decoration and also, getting the hostess to dress in cotton Summer kimono. Even though they are not authentic, […]
If you are a true sushi lover of quantities, then you should head over to Kumo Sushi at Upper West Side. They offer All-You-Can-Eat Sushi special ($27.50 / person), and have plenty of sushi menu to select from. Just a few blocks off the Central Park is this small sushi joint (seems to be operated by […]
