Go Go CURRY

The combination of the crispy fried cutlet and savory pork-based curry sauce tastes so right. It is a filling dinner or lunch at a reasonably price, especially with the free topping coupons- which would make it $5 for the smallest size, big enough to fill me up. I like the pickled red thing a lot- fukujinzuke. You can order the curry sauce and put it on whatever you desire (your own chicken cutlets, over rice, on your boyfriend, etc.), its a little pricey though at 10 for a quart. They always have specials enticing people to come in, but the wait is never too long. And the wacky decor pumps you up even if you don't love baseball or speak japanese.

Kati Roll Company

I was on my way to the gorgeous public library and passed Kati Roll which I had heard so much about. Do I stop and get one, even though that means sneaking food into the library? Yes, clearly I do. I got one chicken roll and it was ready pretty fast and nobody was ahead of me (around 5:30pm) I wasn't expecting to go crazy over it like everyone in the reviews I have read- but that was silly of me. It really is that good. The flavoring is perfect, how is it so good? and why is it not closer to my office?

Perfect Team Corporation Restaurant

This 2nd floor dim sum spot shines with its attentive service and excellent quality. Its also very inexpensive. A good way to judge a dim sum place is how well they make their shu mai, and theirs was truly exceptional. However, what they had in quality, they were lacking in variety. The ladies did not bring around very many different dim sum carts. I am quite jealous of the reviewers who mentioned snails being served. Perhaps it was a slow day; it was not a weekend.

Kyedong Fried Chicken

I love coming here for a take out order (ready in 20 minutes) which gives me some time to head across the street to Han Yan Market to pick up fresh kimchee and exploit the sample ladies.

The smell of the chicken on the ride back home is unbearable and guilty of causing excessive salivation.
I love the soy garlic chicken, I dont think the spicy is as good.
It comes with a soda and pickled turnips.
This chicken does not even need to be piping hot and fresh to be good, in fact I enjoy the cold leftovers the next morning.
Its juicy and packed w flavor.

The little restaurant has cheap and good beers on tap, they sell sojou and eventually, when the machine ever works, they will serve frozen yogurt(plain and green tea). What more could you need?

123 Burger Shot Beer

5 stars ***** The $1 sliders are extremely delicious and over 9,000 times better than White Castle (which I recently tried for the first time)
2 stars ** The $2 shots are not strong at all, but whatever, they are 2 dollars
4 stars **** The $3 come in smaller-ish glasses but are still worth it bc they serve decent beer
3 stars *** The little boy shorts that the waitresses wear can sometimes be cute, and other times not so flattering
4 stars**** The awesome fries, sweet potato or waffle

Weeknights, when you can get decent service and a table, are usually more fun. No hat policy is very annoying. There is one bathroom upstairs, but two downstairs. People dress up, people dress down- its all good. They serve beer columns but the overall value is not worth it when compared to the $3 beer, worth it if very large quantities of beer at one time amuse you.

Home on 8th

I don't get it. Honestly, nothing special here. The lunch specials are fairly priced, but you could do better. The quality was decent but the food was no where near memorable. I ordered the garlic chicken. It was listed as spicy, but wasn't, and did not taste very much like garlic. The fried rice had an off taste to it and the egg drop soup lacked flavor. At least the delivery process was easy. I feel bad if this is what vegans and vegetarians think is terrific. I want to give it another chance, maybe another dish would be better?

Le Cirque: Ladies who lunch

We totally cheaped it up and didn't order anything extra with our restaurant week lunch and they still treated us respectfully. The space is just a teeny tiny almost a smidge bit tacky... I do love that the gents must wear jackets, I wore one too just for fun. Its not stuffy, its classy.
The sour dough-ish bread is great. The shrimp appetizer was a bit salty, but I enjoyed the match with carrots. Even though I CANNOT eat grapefruit (vom vom vom), I chose the scallop with hazelnut and grapefruit and pushed the bitter nastiness aside. I really enjoyed the dill, hazelnut, and sunchoke combo. The scallops were pretty good. The creme brulee had the perfect amount of sweetness, but it really could have been warmer. I liked my friends chocolate cake and tart sorbet. I think restaurant week is a great time to go, just so you can say you have been. I left satisfied and more full that I thought I would be.
