A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
Tried out this sushi-bowl place in lower midtown. I got their signature dish, the sichuan chili salmon. The location we went to was on 27th street (this place is a fast food chain in New York).
I could go to this place again, but one thing that I did notice is that the mayo sauce was kinda thick.
We checked out this place to catch up with a friend who now lives in New York.
Although the place was small, the food and drinks were great (not sure what drinks I ordered, but I did notice a bunch of Japanese whiskey on the wall).
The one dish we got that stood out (pictured below) is the Okonomi-Yaki. We also got chicken wings as well as a deep fried cauliflower dish (name??).
After lunch, we wandered around Korea Town for coffee and found this place.
I ordered a mocha and mochi waffles. The mochi in the waffles were hidden and subtle, which was fine since what I enjoyed the most was the Nutella and bananas.
We checked out this place in Korea town.
I ordered the short ribs. It came in a sweet sauce, and there was a good amount of meat (unlike the usual order or short ribs in a Korean restaurant). Also, the side dishes were great (is the salad, miso soup and this tofu dish).
Also, we saw David Schwimmer in this restaurant! A great reason to come back here 🙂
This is a great brunch place. I loved it the first time, and the second time did not disappoint.
The bottomless mimosa deal is definitely a good reason to go here. Only $22, and they are very good at refilling your drink.
The bacon in the middle of the first picture (not sure what it was called, but maybe millionaire’s bacon?) was really good.
We also ordered pad Thai. It also did not disappoint.
One interesting is the last picture, which was a shooter of some sort. It was a good start of the meal.
I would order everything pictured below again.
Aside from being right beside a sketchy neighborhood, this place was great. Even though it was vegan, all the food we had was delicious.
Here are two dishes we had. The first one almost tasted like real beef, and the second one was just plain good. We had a bunch of other dishes, but unfortunately no pictures.
Thought I’d try a new food truck at Spark SF.
I ended up getting the garlic noodles with pork. Overall, it was ok, but a bit salty. If I did get it again, I would order it without peanuts.
Another great Italian place. Most people here were a bit dressed up (so we slightly stood out, but that was not an issue).
We started at the bar. I got two drinks, the first one was spot on (just the right amount of sweetness, and it was also very refreshing). Unfortunately I do not recall what the drink was called (it is on their cocktail list). I believe it was rum based.
For appetizers, we got the calamari. For my main dish, I got the lobster ravioli. Both were great, but I would try another main dish next time I visited (but as mentioned the ravioli was delicious).
Great dim sum place that also serves beer on tap. I got my Asian beer of choice, Sapporo.
For ordering, we ordered the usuals (hargow, sui Mai), pork XLB (soup dumpling), pork gyoza, and a couple of other things (pictured below). Everything was great BUT the picture that has the straw with the giant dumpling (called the King Dum). I didn’t like it because of the effort to eat it.
This place is really unique since it is primarily a bar, but has some really good brunch food.
For brunch, I got the breakfast waffle plate (customized to having both eggs scrambled). I liked everything BUT the bacon. The bacon was wayyyy over cooked (not sure if that is what they were going for). Next time I’ll tell them to make the bacon not super crispy. I did however kill my plate (so that says something).
