Sasabune – Upper East Side

I stumbled into this tiny restaurant with one desire: Sushi. What I walked out with was way better and fully unexpected. Attracted by the humble sign on their front door that reads “No Spicy Tuna, No California Rolls, Just Trust Me,” I knew I wanted to explore this little sushi joint. I walked in and…

Catch – Chelsea

I have wanted to go to Catch for years now, and finally I have accomplished my goal on Valentine’s Day. Catch is located right in the middle of Chelsea, although it was not always easy to find. It is located on the second floor of a building, over Sephora. Catch has always been known for…

Kisoro Asian Sushi – Carle Place

Kisoro is in a plaza near Roosevelt Field Mall, making it a convenient spot to eat after shopping. I am always initially and naturally skeptical of a new sushi restaurant, unless I have heard many raving reviews. I have never heard of Kisoro, but I soon learned that it was relatively new, opening approximately four…

Kotobuki – Roslyn

Kotobuki is considered an amazing place to go for sushi on Long Island, and I can’t say I disagree. It’s often very crowded, especially peak hours on weekends, but I could see the appeal. At first, Kotobuki looks like any regular sushi restaurant. The interior is very minimalistic, and almost too compact. It can be…

Sen Sakana – Midtown

Go make a reservation! You can’t… This restaurant actually isn’t even open yet. You can’t go even if you wanted to, unless you wait until their official opening in the Fall. Sen Sakana is a new fashion restaurant that is opening in Midtown, and it interestingly fuses both Japanese and Peruvian cuisine. There is no…

Ocean – Bayville

Guess where this restaurant is located? If you guessed by the ocean, you are most definitely the next Sherlock Holmes. This restaurant is located right by my all-time favorite restaruant, Wall’s Wharf, and so it was most definitely interesting to see how this one would compare. The overall place is beautiful. Ocean is a restaurant…

Wall’s Wharf – Bayville

Sometimes, it admittedly can feel like there’s nothing to do on Long Island but lounge around on a beach and eat food… Well… That doesn’t necesssarily mean that’s a bad thing, right? Wall’s Wharf is probably one of my favorite (or, even my top favorite) restaurant on Long Island for so many reasons. The restaurant…

Whole Foods – Jericho 

Yes, I’m reviewing Jericho’s Whole Foods. Why not, right?  Well, quite frankly, the reason I felt compelled to write about Whole Foods is primarily a result of their sushi bar. People underestimate the sheer perfection of many unique rolls offered at their sushi bar. The shrimp tempura crunchy roll, in particular, had been a top…

Roy’s – Lahaina, Hawaii

On our Hawaiian vacation, we were recommended a number of restaurants, including Roy’s. We didn’t know much about Roy’s, except for the fact that it was close to our hotel, and they had phenomenal fish. It’s right on a golf country club, so there really isn’t much of a Hawaiian beach view, but rather the…
