New York, NY: Tafu - "The most awesome green tea lattes!"

2007-09-29T22:21:55-07:00

Review of Tafu at 569 Lexington Ave, New York, NY 10022-7501

Ok, so this isn’t really a restaurant, more like a little green tea bakery. I was walking to buttercup bakery, and the pictures of the green tea lattes in the window caught my eye. I didn’t realize it at the time, but apparently, this little green tea shop has only been open for 4 ...

San Francisco, CA: Houston's - "BEST RIBS EVER"

2007-09-19T11:12:24-07:00

Review of Houston's at 1800 Montgomery St, San Francisco, CA 94111-1013

by shaomai:

Ok, whoever rated houston’s 2 stars obviously did not eat the ribs. It is possible that Houston’s other dishes are 2 star quality… but I’ve never eaten anything other than the ribs, and never will. Why would you, as they are the best ribs ever!!! (note title)Admi...

Review of Morimoto at 88 10th Ave, New York, NY 10011

by shaomai:

Being an Iron Chef enthusiast, I was REALLY excited to come here! The decor was awesome, the bathrooms were super cool, and Chef Morimoto himself stopped by our table and said hello.That being said… I didn’t actually like the food. I really really w...

2007-09-04T14:20:32-07:00

Review of The Other Coast Cafe at 601 Union St, Seattle, WA 98101-4077

by shaomai:

Like the previous review said, these sandwiches are huge. I ordered the 6" sandwich, but I have a ruler at my desk and I just measured it, and it is actually 8.5". It is also 2.75" tall and has .75" of meat. (Yes, I really did just measure my sandwich at work. Don’t ...

San Francisco, CA: KOO - "Many Spoonfuls of Happiness!"

2007-07-06T11:07:40-07:00

Review of KOO at 408 Irving St, San Francisco, CA 94122

by shaomai:

While many of the dishes here were good, it was the Spoonful of Happiness dish that will make this a memorable eating experience for me. It’s actually 2 spoonfuls of happiness, accompanied by a sweet sake shot. One spoonful contains 2 large chunks of uni, a quail egg, and tobiko swimming...

San Jose, CA: Ramen Halu - "Ramen at its best"

2007-06-25T14:08:29-07:00

Review of Ramen Halu at 375 Saratoga Ave, San Jose, CA 95129

by shaomai:

I was never much of a ramen fiend until I was introduced to Ramen Halu. People always raved about Ryowa, which I never thought was all that great. I liked the negitoro donburi combo at that other ramen place in Milpitas that I can’t even remember now. And then I found Ramen Halu.T...

Boston, MA: Legal Sea Foods - "Solid food, gets the job done"

2007-05-31T09:19:58-07:00

Review of Legal Sea Foods at 255 State St, Boston, MA 02109-2617

by shaomai:

Legal Sea Foods isn’t the best seafood I’ve ever had… but for a moderately priced chain restaurant, it’s solid. I know that if I’m ever in the Boston area, I can walk into a Legal Sea Foods and my seafood will be fresh, and the cost of my dinner will come in under...

Chicago, IL: Giordano's Pizza - "Best cheese, great pizza"

2007-05-31T09:10:14-07:00

Review of Giordano's Pizza at 135 E Lake St, Chicago, IL 60601-5977

by shaomai:

I’m typically not a deep dish/stuffed pizza fan. I like toppings, I don’t like too much crust, and I really dislike pizzas with too much sauce. I really only ventured into Giordano’s to try the pizza b/c I was in Chicago for my first time, and it was just something I

Review of Potbelly Sandwich Works at 1459 W Taylor St, Chicago, IL 60607

by shaomai:

So my review is for Potbelly’s in general and not this particular location, but so far I’ve eaten at 2 Potbelly’s (one in Chicago, and one in the Dulles Airport in Washington DC), and they have both been yummy!I think there are 2 main things that set Potbelly’s a...

Review of Keg Steakhouse & Bar at 859 W John Carpenter Fwy, Irving, TX 75039-2304

by shaomai:

I was a little disappointed by the keg. The website looked amazing, and the person who made the reservation spoke very highly of it.it wasn’t bad… it just wasn’t mind blowing. i did, however, really really love the twice-baked potato… but wouldn’t you know ...
