When you want to get together with bunch of friends in Japan, over some beer or other kinds of drinks, then I say you should find a nice Izakaya. It is a type of Japanese pub, with lots of drink choices and yummy dishes to share. We got together with some awesome friends in Shimbashi, […]
One of the most famous burger chain in the USA is IN-N-OUT Burger, no doubt about it. Unfortunately, they are not available on the East coast, so every time I traveled to the West coast, I wanted to go to one of their IN-N-OUT locations, but never worked out… So, when I finally got to […]
They call it the “best Japanese crepe in NYC.” However, it is not clear if they originally came from Japan. The owner is not Japanese, so I believe they took the concept of Japanese crepe, and brought it to NYC. It seems that Japanese crepes have become a bit popular in NYC, there are few […]

We have been there […]

In NYC, you can get access to authentic, tasty food from all over the world. If you are in a mood for Vietnamese food, I suggest you head over to Saiguette. They are my favorite Vietnamese restaurant (so far) in the city. It is a small place, but has some seating, but the stools (which […]
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 […]

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 […]
