We have been to the Soba Noodle Azuma in NJ, and then found this spot in NYC. They seem to be a sister restaurant, since they share pretty much identical menu. We decided to check it out one day for lunch. It was still a bit early, before the lunch rush, so it was nice […]
This is a little unique one since not everyone can get access to it. But, if you are a graduate student, postdoctoral researcher, or specific faculty – or you know someone who is one of these – then you are in luck. This is one of the several cafe spots at the main Columbia University […]
No matter how many different cuisines from all different countries in the world, my true love for the food would still remains to be Japanese food. You gotta love the food you grew up with, the kind of food with warm memories of your mom and grand-mom cooking for you. And when I miss that […]
Mifune is one of my favorite Japanese restaurant in the city. We had several amazing meals here (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/mifune-new-york/, http://www.foodlovergirl.com/mifune-new-york-2/ ), and brought a few people here too. And yes, they all enjoyed the food. I have been wanting to try their lunch menu ever since they started to offer lunch during […]
I get cravings for good Japanese or Japanese-esque food when I am traveling. While I was in Boston, I looked for a good Japanese type restaurant, and this one seemed the most interesting to me. I as started to walk towards the location of the restaurant, I realized I was walking into China town. So, […]
While we were in Boston, we found an interesting Japanese eatery called Yume Ga Arukara. The literal translation of that is “because I have a dream.” It is located inside the Lesley building at Porter Square. They have some shops and other eateries in the inside. They all share a public rest room. Yume Ga […]
I love Japanese izakaya, and I have been wanting to visit this spot for a while now. Since they don’t take reservation, and with its popularity, we haven’t had the chance to visit…until now! We decided to get there little before they open for the evening, and they already had some people lined up in […]
A high quality seafood at real Japanese restaurant, and I mean, REAL Japanese restaurant can be pricey. The best time to go have some tasty meal is during lunch time. This spot came under my radar, with their delectable lunch specials. But, it is not always to have lunch during the weekdays when you work […]
I have been wanting to try out this sushi spot for a while, we finally got to go during lunch time. They do not take reservation, which makes it a bit difficult, especially since this is a popular spot. We got there after the lunch rush, so we didn’t have to wait too long before we […]
There is something about speakeasy that is so sexy and attractive…maybe it is the secrecy, or the mysteriousness of it, or just a simple joy of discovering a hidden gem. We enjoyed our dinner at an izakaya-style speakeasy in Philly called Royal Izayaka (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/royal-izakaya/). Then, we found another pretty […]
