We wanted to look for a cheap, fast, easy dinner that's by us. We found this place with Yelp. This place serves nothing but Katsu - a breaded pork dish made famous in Japan. It is found in restaurant menus and in Japanese homes. 

It was fried to perfection, not greasy at all and the meat was moist. The mixture of the sauce (with addition of hot mustard) really makes the dish. If you are a fan of fried food, I would definitely recommend this place. They do offer a variety of side orders as well, like Edamame, Beef Tatami, Crab & Cucumber Salad, Cold Tofu, Shshito Peppers, Japanese Style Potato Salad, and Panko Crusted Soft Shell Crab.

Oh, and Kaelan got a Melon Cream Soda Float, which was delicious, and I forgot to take a photo of that.


Firs thing on our table we see is this.

One is sesame seeds and one is katsu sauce.

We were told to grid the sesame seeds in the bowls and then mix in the sauce for dipping

We stumbled across this place by accident. The restaurant we want to go originally for Chinese New Year celebration was closed that night. After looking around the plaza, which had three 4 star restaurants on Yelp, we decide to eat at this place.

We love Japanese ramen. Our regular spot are two of the best ones in town, Monta and Ramen Sora.
We decided to give this place a try and see if it's just as good.

We ordered two spicy ramen, and man was it spicy! Most Japanese places when they say spicy it is not to the spice level like you would encounter like Thai food.  But this place uses habanero peppers to spice up their soup, not like chili oil in some places.  Our mouths were on fire! But a good spice!
The both were really flavorful and the noodles were cooked perfectly.

We also ordered a side of tonkatsu, edemame, a soft boiled egg (for Zoey), fried rice and karrage.
What I love about this place beside the friendly fast service, is that they have a set of utensils, bowls and sippy cup for your kid! I don't always remember to pack these in my diaper bag when we go out with Zoey and not many restaurants use plasticware, and Zoey has broken a dish or two in the restaurants. I find it very considerate to provide cute utensils for your little ones!

This is place is definitely up in the level of Monta and Sora and mines the long lines!
If you are regular to those you will know there is ALWAYS a line to wait in those to places. I think this is definitely a place waiting to to be discovered! Since it is hidden away in this busy plaza!

    We stopped by this burger place on our last night of our trip. From the outside it looked hip, trendy, overpriced. But once we stepped in, took a look at the menu, we were drawn in.  Everything in the restaurant is biodegradable. 

    They have a lot of options when it comes to their burgers. I got the B'Ham burger which is a burger topped with prosciutto, straw onions and a fried egg, on a homemade bun. It was delicious. Hubby got the regular bacon cheeseburger and a poutine (which we've been craving for this whole trip). It was good as well. Can't go wrong with a classic burger.

    I like their condiments bar, besides your typical mustard and ketchup, they also have curry mayo and chiptole ketchup (my favorite!)




    Eggnog Shake - delicious!

    DinTaiFung established its reputation and have been highly praised by the media including being selected as one of the top ten restaurants in the world by the “New York Times”. It has also 
    been voted as the most favored dining place by political and commercial celebrities and is one of the must-see places for national and international stars.

    If you are near LA or Seattle area, you HAVE got to try this dumpling house. We've been to the one in LA couple years back and I've been to the original location in Taiwan years ago. They are Taiwanese based and have locations throughout the world from Japan, Korea, Australia and Thailand.  So once we found out there are not only one but two locations in Seattle, we marked this on our calendars months before our trip back.





    Upon walking up to the shop, you can see at least 15 workers from the see through window working on numerous dumping. They are all fresh made to order.

    Everything was excellent. I don't believe they take reservations and there's always a line because they are that good. I would recommend avoid busy lunch/dinner hours. It's definitely worth the wait!
