This place was featured on Bizarre Foods on the Travel Channel which is what brought me to check this place out. The place itself isn’t anything fancy but boy do they know how to bake up some great eats! Check out the samsas and meat pies and the melt-in-your-mouth breads at this hidden gem! I’m ecstatic I live within walking distance away and look forward to returning soon!

I sometimes have a macaron madness descend on me and in a neighborhood surrounded by chinese bakeries this korean style bakery chain is a solid choice for my needs. They sell one of the biggest macarons I have seen. They come individually packaged in their own little bubble like the best kind of snow globe setting. This place is not Bouchon by any means but they do sell very light tasting and fresh pastries that never disappoint. The price is a bit higher but the quality makes up for it.

As much as I hate lamb meat, I always crave for their famous spicy cumin lamb noodles whenever I come to Biang. Maybe it’s the combination of all the awesome grease, salt and spiciness offsetting the unpleasant lamb flavor that I always despise. The hand-pulled noodles have the perfect chewy texture with enough “heat” to give you that tingly feeling that makes you want more. I always feel like I’m eating Rapunzel’s hair since the noodles stretched endlessly so…

How does a restaurant with C-grade Dept. of Sanitation and highly priced food get 5 stars, you ask? When it’s Fu Run, I say. If this is what C tastes like, then I dun wanna B right *digs into bowl of rice*

This was one of the finest meals and restaurant experiences I have had in recent memory and I ate all over New Orleans this past couple weeks. This is a beautiful restaurant. The fireplace was lit and it was homey and comfortably elegant. The french farmhouse theme was wonderful. I thought the chairs were pretty uncomfortable but that was the only negative thing I can think of saying about this place.

Always have a great time, don’t go as often as we did before, the food is not as accessible as before. But still a great time, but in a different foodie fun way.

Amazing food.

Phayul is a good introduction to Tibetan food, if you have never tried it.

This place is actually on 72nd and Broadway. The first time I tried to go with my bf, we ended up wandering all over Jackson Heights before we called and got the correct address!

Xi’an famous foods surprises me a lot! After living in the States for 2 years,I can say Xi’an famous foods is as great as the burger you can get in Xi’an.

I enjoy coming here for my grocery shopping or grabbing a quite bite.

Wow cant believe i have never heard of this place before. Tuck away in industrial kalihi this place has a great selection of poke and hot foods.

We stopped here on the “ Hole in the Wall” tour and enjoyed their fare. Wanted to try the duck but sold out. We had two kinds of pork…really good. Many locals coming in for food while we were there.

Like the old okazu and saimin Mom and Pops of decades past, crack seed stores are also hard to find. I remember running to the store down the street to buy our favorite li-hing seeds and candies, but now there’s commercial grocery stores and specialty stores.

I always buy fresh fish from these guys, usually Moi. The have a great selection of fish at decent prices, and they’ll clean it for you. Compared to the other fish vendors in Oahu Market, and in Maunakea Market, I prefer these guys - it seems they have better selections of fish. Get here early to get the best picks - close early - around 1pm on Sundays - maybe couple hours later on weekdays.

Absolutely my FAVORITE shave ice spot since I first tried it a couple years ago. I don’t always get to make it in, but when I do, I know EXACTLY what to order.

In a word - YUM! On our recent trip to Oahu, the BF and I made a point of seeking out local flavors and the “hole in the wall” (HITW) establishments that know how to do it right. We happened upon Tersty Treats, and it proved to be the hands-down-best-spot for poke.

This place may be small and obviously not as popular as boiling point, but you surely cannot judge based on those aspects. I came here a few times and it was never a disappointment. Portions were big enough to make me very full. Last time, I ordered a spicy beef hot pot. The only problem was that there were only three big beef slices in my pot. Nevertheless, it was a much more affordable meal compared to Boiling Point and the portions did not disappoint me. They also had or still have this lunch…

I’m not sure what it is about Happy Garden that I enjoy so much but it gets a 5 stars from me. It’s home-style Taiwanese cooking where you can do family style and get entrees such as 3 cup chicken, spicy pork blood & intestines hot pot, etc. or you can opt for noodles and pork chop rice. They’re all delicioussssss.

The food was excellent. Unfortunately it was a hot evening and there were 100s of flies gathering outside the door where we were sitting (the large room to the right as you walk in, near the front door) and enough of them got in so that there were flies on every person and enjoying every dish along with the rest of us.
