A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
Ordered from the place twice through door dash. This was the last meal in Kona, Hawaii.
Overall, the rolls are pretty meh (ie. Not super fresh, but still ok to eat). There is this one role that has deep fried crab in it which I really liked. Would get that again.
Tried this Japanese restaurant in Hawaii (we had an interesting conversation about a Japanese restaurant in this state, but I guess 80 years is a long time that it isn’t an issue).
I ordered the tonkatsu ramen. The broth was good, but the pork was too salty. Also, I tried the gyoza, and only thought it was ok. The shrimp and chicken karaage were basically like breaded shrimp and chicken. I was ok with it, but definitely under impressed.
Also, unfortunately this place does not serve any alcohol.
Overall, not sure if I would go back to this place.
Great ramen place, that would also be good for dining solo.
I got their house ramen, with a side of a pork belly bun. Also grabbed a warm sake. All terrific.
So probably won’t go back here.
The ramen was ok (I got their tonkatsu ramen). However, I ordered sui mai as a side, and it was cold on the inside!
Went here for Sunday brunch.
For appetizers we got the spicy edamame, the fried takoyaki, and the shrimp. All great choices.
For the main course, I got the Beyond Ramen, and added fish cakes. It was definitely a bit salty because of the garlic, but still tasted good. I did try the soup of the original Orenchi Ramen, and I do think is does taste better. So next time :).
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.
Checked out this ramen restaurant at the East Village.
This place is great for solo dining, as you can order and just sit at the bar (where you can also make some new friends).
I ordered the spicy beef ramen (had the chili sauce on the side so I could control the spicy ness), and the pork belly buns (which I actually thought was better than the ramen). Overall, really happy with this place.
And of course, I paired my meal with a glass of Sake.
We went to this Japanese restaurant mainly for drinks. The view is absolutely amazing, and the service was pretty good. Our server even let us play our own music with the speaker we brought.
I got an old fashion, which was ok. Next time I do want to try the food.
This is a great place to go to if you want some fast Udon.
First, for appetizers, the tempura is great. And special to this place is the crab tempura. It is a MUST to get. I also got the spicy tuna onigiri. Also great.
For the udon, I believe I got the Sanuki, and no complaints.
Definitely a buffet to revisit. The king crab legs are one of the main features (not pictured). Also, they do have bottomless mimosas for an additional $22.
The buffet has food from all sorts of ethnicities (Japanese, Chinese/dim sum, American, Italian). Also, the desserts were good, notably the ice cream (and a coupe of other deserts that I can’t remember at the time of this writing).
Not pictured below are the crab legs. Definitely a must to get.
