Ichi Umi

Tried this all you can eat Japanese and Korean restaurant in Korea Town (New York), and thought it was decent for the price (apparently they also have a location in Menlo Park).

The rice cakes was probably overall my favorite Korean dish, and then the bulgogi (when it just comes out of the oven). The crab cakes and tempura were also not bad. For the Japanese portion, the hot pot was the best part (sushi was not super fresh).

One piece of advice, for the hotpot, always do the ramen noodles.

For dessert, they did have cookies and cream ice cream, which was fine for cleansing the pallet.

Firebird Hotpot

This is a very simple, but fancy and soy hot pot place.

I got the Wagyu beef and pork hot pot, which was great. They also had a full, since they were connected to the hotel.

The one thing they did try and do is they included tip in the receipt even though there was only 3 of us (fortunately Mark caught that).
