Rose City Cafe, in case the name fooled you, has a sushi bar at the PDX airport! Who knew?
It offers a range of Nigiri Sushi, Rolls, and Sake! The prices are reasonable, i.e. the Nigiri is mostly in the $5 and under range, and the Sake is $8.50 for a…More »
Of the Japanese Restaurants I have tried at SFO, I think Ebisu is the best. It is in the international Terminal near gates G91-G102, or not far off the BART terminal into SFO.

This is perhaps the best place to eat anywhere in United's Terminals B and C in Chicago O'Hare airport.
The bad news is that it is tucked away at the end of Terminal B, near gates B19 - B22.
For one, it is one of the few places in these terminals that…More »

Well, I have eaten at 4 Japanese Restaurants at SFO (I think that is all there is) and this is one of the best. That isn't saying a whole lot, because this is the airport, so quality is lower and prices higher than your neighborhood favorite. But…More »
Brewpub for United Express fliers out ot DEN, gates B89 - B95.
This place has better food and beer than the Tilted Kilt in downtown Denver at the 16 th Street mall!
And that's not hard to do! But this place is pretty good for Airport food.
Only thing…More »

Sankaku is just past the security in Terminal 3 at SFO, to the right past the bookstore, near Gates 69/70. It is slightly better than Tomokazu out by gate 80 if you are looking for Japanese food before your flight on United or American, mainly…More »

If you are at LAX in terminal 8 (United, gates 80 - 88) and need to wet your whistle with a cold brewski, this is your choice. It is small, but who cares? Chug down your beer if they are boarding your flight; if you have a layover, nurse a few.

I usually stop here before my flight out of OAK to grab a bite. The burritos are nothing to write home about, but c'mon, what do you expect? It is a captive audience and it is either this place or Pizza. This 360 is in Terminal 1 (the older one) at…More »

Well, of the 60 plus Peet's Coffees in or near San Francisco, a lot of them only have a couple of reviews each. Except Berkeley, where North Berkeley has nearly 100 reviews. So what does this mean?
Peet's customers are not Yelpers. They don't drink…More »
This is one of the more fancier restaurants at SFO, which isn't saying a lot, because SFO has more convenience and fast food than real sit-down waiter service restaurants like some other airports, like Portland, or Minneapolis and others. In fact,…More »
