A fresh Sunday could start from a fresh brunch at 35th Street Bistro.

Knowing that Fremont is always a good neighborhood to explore, I picked 35th Street Bistro, attracted by its intensive menu and positive reviews.

Being a French bistro, it’s very reasonably priced with good portion. So no worries about leaving hungry:)

An insider tip is that all the entrees either come or could substitute with fresh salad, which is only slighted dressed with olive oil. So be sure to ask for fresh salad or fruits, it will delight your whole day!

LUPA was known for specializing at Italian cuisine in SOHO area of NYC. Obviously, as a metropolitan city, NY deserves to have all the best quality food. While impressed with variety food during my short NYC trip, I still have my favorite – LUPA, in terms of quality, ambience and neighborhood.

Thanks to competition in the neighborhood, LUPA is reasonably priced but no skim at all on quality. I was very pleased with their nice presentation of food and attentive service. Portion might be a little small for dinner but perfect for brunch.

LUPA is a alway popular spot and packed all the time. So, Keep this in mind, always make reservation 2 weeks in advance if decide to go dinner; otherwise, you can only squeeze in brunch or bar table.

My “tempura lover” and “sushi lover” frnds highly recommended Maneki to me, and they come here almost once a week. I see it a big commitment, considering the hassle of parking in Chinatown area.

In kanji, Maneki means “to invite”, so I am kind of curious to find out how this place invites customers in. Not surprisingly, the whole place decors with “Maneki Neko (invitation cat), which stands for luck and asks for business prosperity.

Overall, Maneki feels like a homey restaurant with a lot of sushi choice. Food is not fancy goodlooking and simply tastes like mom’s meal at home. It could be a good choice for authentic Japanese food hunters.

While having totally different personalities – one arrogant and the other modest, both French and Japanese appreciate the beauty of food to a level of perfection.

Consistently ordering one dish is said to be a good way of rating food, so I decide to follow this recommendation to be a fair judge.

After tried Rikki Rikki’s black cod, I almost give up on all the other black cod. Be hopeful here, their French version black cod is both Pretty and Tasty.

Their Northwest Cheesecake is definitely an elegant dessert , sth. u can never get at QFC. What’s even sweeter about the dessert is their accommodating waiter made it for my special someone’s birthday treat. Wow, what a success!

We were on the way heading over to Thai kitchen, but the traffic got so stuck that we saw Tommy Thai in the corner.

Some reviews on menuism came to mind, so we decided to follow reviews for a quick fix. Yeah, foodha reviews saved our Saturday afternoon hunger!

Their selection is a bit limited, but tasted good, maybe just because we were too hungry. I’ll recommend it as a “to go” for future.

Also, do double check the price b4 pay bill, i think we were over-charged from menu price this time.

My follow-up review for this restaurant. Read my previous review for this restaurant here

To be accurate, their happy hr is from 5 – 6 daily. So here is the deal — come at 5;45 pm and take happy hr orders b4 their last call; In about 15 -20 mins, ur meal comes exactly dinner time!

It is not a too spacious place, but really well decorated. Sushi Chef is nice and friendly. The food was just good and satisfying. The name is changed to Blue Fish recently, not sure how much it does with seafood, but ppl always remember it as a good Sake place.

It’s a good place for HAPPY HOUR from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Appetizer goes down to $2.99. (I don’t quite remember sushi and sake, but they are only slightly higher). We tried all of them, and they just taste Yummy Yummy.

Their serving of JAPANESE GREEN TEA really delighted me, but I don’t know they also charge it without giving a heads-up. So make sure u want to pay and then order.

PARKING: there is a small parking lot uphill b4 it.

I would recommend it as a great GET-TOGETHER Japanese place. Cos my girls and I quite enjoyed the whole atmosphere of this place and its neighborhood.

We happened to step into this place when walking in downtown vancouver hunting for food. Kitto means “for sure” in Japanese, so we assume that it’s good for sure

Except a sushi bar, there are only a few tables, so it feels like an Izakaya in Japan. Tables are all taken by reservation, so obviously ppl like us came unprepared got to sit in the sushi bar.

Food came very fast, almost rit after we ordered, and the whole dinner only took 40 mins. It’s not quite quality meal but tastes all right; or it might just because we didn’t order sushi roll but only hot food instead.

It’s kind of funny that we didn’t know sushi Chefs are Chinese until we hear them talk in Chinese at the end, which made us wonder — what’s “for sure” here?

I am so surprised to find this place for its Asian Catch-All menu.

Being a modern Asian cafe, Chinoise has both a sushi bar and spacious table seating.

Chinoise is probably more known for Japanese food from look, but menu tells all: From walnut shrimp, pad Thai, to Vietnamese curry and sushi roll.

Obviously, it’s hard to get authentic Asian food here, but u will be very satisfied with its Asian catch-all food within a single dinner~

It’s not hip or trendy, it’s awesome seafood! I keep going the one in Lake Union, dinner at waterfront with slightly dimmed table can be very romantic, even for a family dinner (my dad likes it too). My first two salmon tries were not as good as expected, a little overdone; the later two crusted fish fillet tries were almost perfect if they come with bigger portion (~I am usually not that greedy).

I am not a big Indian food fun, but Cedas is a good one in U-district worth checking out. They have a variety of selections, not limited to curry. Huskies I know from school all love it, and going Cedas seems to be part of school culture already. Their interior could get u a little sick, but such a mysterious atmosphere is what lots of people go for.
