October 10, 2013 Samurai

Someone at work had been raving about this place, so one weekend afternoon we decided to try it out. The restaurant has a few other diners, but for the most part is pretty quiet. The service was good, our order was taken and our food came out quickly. Rising Sun ($10.95) On top: spicy tuna, […]

September 23, 2013 Douzo

Every time I come here, we struggle with the service – mainly the hostess. Most recently, we arrive for a late lunch, with a reservation. We are 15 minutes early, but they say that they can’t seat us. As we look around and see half a dozen open tables, it just doesn’t make any sense. […]

August 30, 2013 Wasabi

We had to run an errand at the mall after work, so we decided to grab a quick bite at Wasabi, located in the new section of the mall, across the way from Lord and Taylor. All the plates are made by the chef and then put on a conveyor belt that loops around the […]

January 22, 2012 Oishii

We sat at the bar the night we went to Oishii. I had made a mistake when I made the reservation, and that was the only seat we could get. We had an open table spotlight deal that we had to use before it expired, so we met up last month after work for a […]

August 18, 2011 O Ya

My very good friend Gabe is leaving Boston to move back home to Chicago. We decided to make it a special night out, and I treated him to dinner at O Ya. Located in a 100 year old fire station in the Leather District, around the corner from Sorriso and Les Zygomates, O Ya is […]

March 9, 2011 Genki Ya

I had been hearing about Genki Ya from my friends who live in Brookline-they rave about it. The draw to this place is that they have organic sushi and you can get the rolls made with brown rice as a healthier option. The restaurant is pretty small, there is a sushi counter and a few […]

January 25, 2011 Basho

We had been to Basho once before (see post), but this time we came back to use our groupon. Apologies in advance for the dim lighting in the pictures….Above are the fried chicken meatballs ($8). They were light and came smothered in a light sweet sauce. The shrimp tempura dinner ($21) which I had before. […]

November 22, 2010 Osushi

This is my second time here. What can I say, I love the Groupons! I’m pretty sure there should be a Groupon anonymous suport group. The first time I went for dinner and this time we went for lunch. Ironically we sat at the same table both times. Located on the second floor, the big […]

November 15, 2010 Basho

We tried Basho this weekend-Basho is a Japanese noun meaning “a place where things happen”. I had a Buywithme coupon, but we ended up not using it-saving it for when we go back for dinner. The space is quite large, the room to the left was empty-everyone was being seated in the room to the […]

February 8, 2010 Gari Sushi

I would say that sushi, and anything raw or undercooked, just scares me. It’s usually something about the texture or the fact that I could become violently ill from eating it. However, due to the new year and trying new things, I decided I would be more open minded about what I eat. Trying new […]
