In New York City, there will be a few new food trend or craze that comes up to steal the spotlight from the ones from previous year. Poké is one of them that is getting lots of attention, and new Poké eateries opening up every day. I didn’t know much about Poké, but from the first time I saw […]
Ever since my husband and I went for shopping at Mitsuwa and had lunch there the first time, it has become a regular fun activity for us to do. We go shopping for Japanese groceries there about once a month, and get some lunch. I love the variety of options and affordable prices. Here are […]
It is always great to find a new Japanese restaurant of any kind…I get craving for authentic Japanese food every now and then. It still is my favorite cuisine of all time. Of course, nothing can beat my mother’s home cooked meal. I heard about this restaurant a while ago, but haven’t had the chance […]

When we are traveling to a place you haven’t been before, trying out restaurants in the area is one of the most fun thing for us to do. Out of all the places we found, this place took first place by wooing our hearts (and stomach). We liked it so much that we dined here […]
IchiUmi is a “Japanese Sushi and Seafood Buffet” located in Korean Town, right above Ichi Cellar (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/ichi-cellar/ ). I have been to IchiUmi once, several years ago, and I was not impressed. But, my hubby got curious when he heard what they claimed to be, an all-you-can-eat sushi and seafood. The […]
One of the great spots we discovered in Indian Wells was this restaurant. It had all that we were looking for: high rating, great location (near our hotel), great view, and Happy Hour! It is located in the Golf Resort, so it was pretty fancy. Once we walked in to the building, there is a […]

The last restaurant I visit during my stay in Pittsburgh was a spot that was on my radar from day one. This restaurant used to be something else, but then was reborn as a French restaurant a few weeks before my visit. It had nice outdoor seating, but my colleague and I decided to sit […]
One of my favorite restaurant styles to visit is Izakaya. It is a Japanese pub with small plates of food, like tapas, that you share with your family and friends. I have been to several Izakaya in NYC, and when I think of the top three, Riki always takes the spot light in my mind. […]
