After eating at Nozomi, S and I decided that our favorite place for sushi rolls is still Sushi Diner. Which meant… well, we had to go to Sushi Diner. Haha. It has been a while since we’ve paid a visit, anyway. We arrived around 8pm on a Monday night, which meant no wait for a [...]
S and I love “Americanized” sushi rolls, complete with the spicy mayo and cream cheese and BBQ eel sauce and whatnot. Our favorite place for sushi here is Sushi Diner – the rolls there are so creative, and all of them (that we’ve tried so far) are delicious. However, recently we heard about Nozomi Sushi [...]
S and I recently enjoyed a date night at Sora, a Japanese-Italian restaurant in downtown San Diego. Our previous experience with Japanese-Italian food was at Ristorante Kaz, the sister restaurant of Izakaya Sakura. Normally, this would be a bit too nice for us to visit without a special occasion, but thanks to Google Offers we [...]
Tajima Ramen House is one of those places that S and I frequent, since it opens til pretty late and is quite friendly on the budget. (Also, they offer a 10% student discount for weekday dinner – yay for poor-student perks!) I know that quite a few people actually don’t like Tajima, but we actually [...]
Ristorante Kaz is the sister restaurant of Izakaya Sakura, one of my favorite places on Convoy for weekend lunch. It serves Japanese-style pastas, and I’ve wanted to try it out ever since hearing about its opening. A couple of weeks ago, we finally made it there for lunch along with one of our friends. The [...]
When RakiRaki first opened, S and I would visit quite so frequently that we actually got tired of ramen for a while. Haha. But since I read on Kirbie’s Cravings and Pink Candles at Ridgemont High that there were some new offerings, we decided to try it out again. The first thing we noticed was [...]
On the last evening of my dad’s visit, he treated S and I to Tsuruhashi Japanese BBQ. Tsuruhashi has been on my bookmarks list for a while, and since Japanese BBQ is hard to find where my dad lives, he was happy to try it out. The restaurant is located in the Original Pancake House [...]
![[San Jose] Ramen Halu revisit](http://www.jinxieats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/P1010600-1-150x150.jpg)
I keep forgetting to put up this post from when I visited the Bay Area a while ago. Ramen Halu in San Jose has been my favorite ramen place since I visited for my birthday two years ago. However, because Berkeley is pretty far from San Jose, I didn’t have a chance to go again [...]
Finally updating the blog after quite a break. Life has been pretty busy lately with all-sorts-of-this-and-that-and-it-makes-me-tired-everyday, but motivation for blogging has been low. I barely want to be at my computer when I get home, let alone work on photos and write. Haha. Last weekend was quite a nice rest, though, and it’s nice to [...]
Yakyudori Yakitori (I’ll refer to it as YY) was one of our must-go restaurants, back when I would visit San Diego every two months or so. There weren’t great ramen places in Berkeley, so Yakyudori was really a great treat. After moving here, though, we actually haven’t visited very often – partly because summer quickly [...]
