Sapporo is a Ramen place located near Times Square.  Convenience at its best!

Their Sapporo special is pretty good.  Not the best Ramen that I've had... but it's quick, easy, and cheap.  If you're going for lunch during a weekday... go around 11:30am.…More »

Japanese Comfort Food!

There's a special that you can mix 2 dishes for $12.  I ended up getting the following:
1) Idori Oyako-Don cooked range free chicken, vegetable & egg over rice
2) Unatama Don cooked eel, tofu & egg over rice

Delish.

Yum!

This place was recommended by a man friend who is secretly Japanese on the inside.  This guy can order a la carte without looking at the menu.

He's the type of guy in which his eyes sparkle, huge smile ear to ear, and just glowing when anything…More »

Japanese BBQ!  I've always been a fan of Gyu-Kaku but found the food to be pricey (as compared to Korean BBQ).  This particular visit, I was armed with a $40 Groupon.  I made my way to the East Village location of Gyu-Kaku with bf and 2 friends.…More »

Still a lovely place to get very authentic & home-style Japanese food in the East Village.  According to bf who has studied abroad in Japan for a semester in college, this is the type of food that Japanese families would eat at home.

We ordered a la…More »
