YoMa is one of my new favorite places, and since my best friend has Celiac's we were thrilled to discover that many things on their menu are gluten free!
She and I split the tea leaf salad, the YoMa special coconut tofu, and we each got a side - I got…More »

Maduros were fantastic, ceviche was so-so, and though i know it sounds vaguely racist, i recommend the mamey shake!

FOOD CRAWL PART III: As explained in my reviews of Angela's and Rincon Limeno, 17 of us pooled $20 apiece and stopped at different restaurants until we ran out of cash. We were running a little low on funds, so decided to hit up the cheapest place…More »
FOOD CRAWL PART I: to get an idea of what happens on a food crawl - 17 of us each put in $20, we order a couple dishes to pass at each restaurant, and we eat til the money's gone. i went on an east boston food crawl with 16 other people (17 of us…More »

small digs, big flavors!
Went here with a party of 11. Got 7 entrees, featuring mild to extremely spicy - 2 veggie dishes (spinach and eggplant), 3 chicken dishes, 1 lamb, and 1 goat. We also split 4 appetizers and 3 orders of naan. Some people got lassis, but I ordered a…More »
i really dig gitlo. as it says in chalk under their clock - "it's time for dimsum!"
talk about cheap eats! food here is totally reasonable at all times of day (like $3.50-$6.50, max), and the dim sum options are all pretty tasty. my friend got the…More »

this was one of my favorite madison restaurants
it has 2 sides to it - a fine dining side, and a hole-in-the-wall side. though it's the same food, same price, and both have nice atmospheres, because of my penchant for cheap eats and the strong…More »

pho viet's tofu bahn mi is easily the best deal sandwich in the city at under $5. for me, i skip the mayo, but i always make sure to ask for a bottle of sriracha to make up for it. if you dig the swine, i hear the pork's the way to go, but their…More »
