The best thing I ever ate: Taka’s Cold Ramen

We had a bout of chilly days a couple of weeks back and I thought it was awesome. I love cold weather. But now that we are hitting 90-degree temps once again, my addiction to ramen is going to take a slight backseat to cold ramen. Slight. Not a whole lot. So. I’ve been eating [...]

Sweeney+Wong at Miso

I’ve been going to Miso a lot. No, really, a lot. You see, I have a class on Thursdays that ends late: 9:30PM. I’m super hungry at that time and Miso has ramen and small plates that are perfect for late dinners. And it’s so close to school! So, yeah, I’m there every week. Last [...]

New at Taka: Cold Ramen

Ramen makes my world stop at a stand still. But, summer is just around the corner and I knew my thrice weekly addiction will have to wane and give in to more refreshing cold soups. Well, guess what. Taka just put out a new addition to their menu. Cold Ramen!!! It’s unbelievably good. Chewy egg [...]

The Best Thing I Ever Ate. Last week: Onigiri @ Miso Izakaya

Well. Technically, it was earlier this month. In any case… You all know by now how much of a ramen freak I am. If not, you’ve been hiding under a rock Anyway, (my sister and) I always, always eat ramen with onigiri. It’s a ball of rice filled with yummy things — pickled plums, fish [...]

Raku

the Chinese symbol for Happy So you all know by now how addicted I am to ramen, right? I ate 58 bowls last year and I’m up to 15 bowls this year (with my sister) so far. It’s only February, by the way, so I’m sure I’ll break my record last year. (Well, I’m not [...]

Death Row Meal: Miso Izakaya

What would your death row meal be? Mine would consist of many dishes from many places. I’d call it Chloe’s Food Festival. And yes, I’m planning on having one all in one spot instead of making several stops daily. It would have ramen (of course), Korean dishes, Japanese, Wong’s buns, cheeseteaks, [...]

The other izakaya: Sushi Mito

I know of four good izakaya places in the city. This is one of them. Before their bar food incarnation, I’ve had a couple of not-so-satisfactory meals here. But gone are those days and for those of you who had the same past experience as I did, it’s definitely time for a [...]

Quickies: Eggy ramen

Haru’s tonkotsu ramen has been consistently amazing these past few weeks. Want to jazz up your soup like I do? Add a soft-poached egg for $1.00 extra. You can thank me later.

Drool on this uni: Sushi Huku

Uni makes the absolute best food porn, no? This uni sashimi tastes as awesome as it looks. So creamy. Silky. Smooth. Heavenly. Melts in your mouth. My happy food. Yum.

Go ahead, be happy!
Oh, and, yeah, three more days before I come back!
More here.

Best Asian Sliders: Miso Izakaya

If you love steamed pork buns as much as I do, then you will go crazy over Miso’s new sliders or Bun. My favorite? The simmered pork belly, of course. The pork is braised in this delicious sauce. It is so tender. The cilantro makes it more Asian than it already is. [...]

Sushi House Hayakawa

Before my love affair with Korean food, I was hot and heavy with Japanese food which actually started when I was very young. 2009 gave me so many mediocre and disappointing sushi/sashimi meals that I had to give them up for a while. I have since renewed that romance and 2010 seems to [...]

RA Sushi

I find it so laughable when people refer to themselves as a “sushi guru” — seriously, if you have not been to Japan at least 5 times to eat real sushi (including for breakfast) with at least one visit to Osaka or Kyoto then you cannot and should never call yourselves that, okay? Oh, and [...]

Yakitori Jinbei

Aside from sushi, a favorite childhood food in the family is ramen — either the Chinese or the Japanese variety. Chinese ramen made with thick, flat egg noodles, clear chicken stock, chicken chunks, scallions, and hard-boiled egg is always a simple, easy snack that’s as good as any comfort food. As I grew [...]

Haru Ichiban

I first came to Haru Ichiban close to 10 years ago. It was such a fantastic place that I came several times a week.  Japanese sushi chefs in the city came to eat here all the time.  I still see one or two of them every now and then — to eat ramen. Aside [...]
