A little bit of everything? Sure, why not.. With all the dishes being $10 or less, was able to order one of everything and paid less than $100 (that includes tax/tip) for two fairly big eaters. Went on a Tuesday and had a great time; both Chef Stinson Chef Suh was able to talk on each dish’s preparation, how fun!! One thing we didn’t take advantage of was the BYOB, available but we were so hungry that even a short hop away from the Candler Park Market to buy some sake was taxing.

Favorite eat would have to be the Pork belly mochi. What a different take on what I’ve typically had sweet. Also, the Cha-Mushi was really delicate and delicious.

Here’s the scenario: you just got off the plane, it’s a cold, raining, and a bit late. There’s a mixture of fatigue meets jet lag meets hunger and before you can get home to pass out, you know you gotta fill that stomach, else it’ll never let you sleep. One of my top 10 foods for such an occasion is a nice hot bowl of simple yet flavorful ramen. Chewy noodles paired with a hot broth, it’s a more elegant solution for such a situation. Mmm… so good.
