I've been to Aki a number of times for lunch but I still couldn't say if I love it or hate it. Whenever I go to Aki, I am always there to have my fix of either the grilled black cod lunch box or Nabeyaki Udon.

The food is good but the quality is very…More »

I read about this place from a free food brochure in Honolulu. What caught my attention was a short article that featured the restaurant's handmade udon. Only two days prior to visiting Jimbo, my partner and I were at Marukame Udon. We had a great…More »

My partner and I were exploring Waikiki on foot on a late Saturday night when we passed by this place. We walked pass the restaurant then walked back just to make sure we weren't hallucinating when we saw the udon making machine. And we weren't.

I couldn't help noticing the big black and white sign on the window of Post restaurant in Burnaby. Underneath "Value", the blurp writes "At Posh, you can expect the highest quality. We look for the freshest most natural ingredients to provide you…More »

The quality of food, ambiance, and services here deserves at least a solid 4. However, if you were like moi who is not a big seafood fan, then your dinner choices here are practically cut down by half. And if for whatever reason you don't eat beef or…More »

My first time at Gyu-Kaku was in Honolulu with my partner. We were looking for a quick bite to eat prior to hopping on the plane back to Bellevue airport. It was a quick get in, sit down, eat, get out type of grill-your-own-food. I must say we had a…More »

This is another one of those jack-in-the-box surprises.

My partner was driving while I stare mindlessly out the window in the passenger seat after running some errands together on a Friday. While we were driving along West 16th Ave I caught a glimpse…More »

I am not sure if I've been here as the izakaya places nearby all look/feel the same. Regardless it was way too long since I've been in one in this hood so hey why not give it a try? Also, if the food didn't wow me at least I have my fellow Yelpers…More »

Sushi rolls are solid here.

I especially like their signature rolls with fancy names such as cherry blossom (salmon & avocado), and delicious roll (chopped scallops with mango), Samurai Power (crab, unagi, avocado) just to name a few. The sushi rolls…More »

This place makes life worth living!

I finally understand why Simon K. always uses Motomachi as a bench mark to rate ramen. Planets are now aligned. I get it now.

My shio ramen couldn't be any more plain Jane looking. A big piece of pork, ramen noodles…More »

My significant other and I came here for lunch over the weekend. We honestly wouldn't have come here if it's not for Larry L's five-star review of this place. Unless you are walking in the neighborhood, as a driver you can easily miss this little…More »

If you wanted trendy creative Japanese tapas, do come here. Suika is a solid 5, no less in all aspects - food, service, and ambiance. Even though I've been here a couple of times I must say each experience is unique.

My recent experience was coming…More »
