Restaurant: Swish Shabu, Boston, MA

Hello, world. I disappeared for a while there :( 

In short, I had a lot of work stuff, traveled to two weddings (totaling over 60 hours of airport and airplane time) and also had to recover from a horrible 2 week long flu. Phew!

Anyways, quick pictures from a trip to Swish Shabu. Swish is hands down my favorite shabu shabu place in Boston. I've written about shabu shabu before, here.

Restaurant: Uni Sashimi Bar, Boston, MA

Hey look, words!

Recently, my husband and I celebrated our second wedding anniversary, which we obviously used as an excuse to try some expensive food. My neighbor had recommended Uni Sashimi Bar, which is in the Eliot Hotel, as one of his favorites. We decided to try the Omakase menu (chef's choice).

Restaurant: Gyu-kaku, Brookline, MA

Gyu-Kaku is a Japanese BBQ chain that has locations across the US. The Brookline location opened fairly recently. In this type of restaurant, you grill meat over a table grill. The meat is sliced thin so that you can cook it fairly quickly.

Restaurant: Go! Go! Curry!, H-Mart, Cambridge, MA (BONUS: How To Order Food in This Type of "Food Court")

The H-Mart in Central Square is open! I've been anxiously awaiting this place since it was first announced in Boston Korea (local Korean language newspaper) approximately forever ago. :)

I'm a few days late on this, their grand opening was technically on Wednesday.

Curry!

My husband and I were pretty excited about the food court, based on our experiences in other H-mart food courts (I've been to about 6 different H-marts, so far, and all have had excellent food.) but unfortunately, this one only has two options. We ended up both getting food from Go! Go! Curry!, as they were out of Ramen at Sapporo Ramen by 6:30PM, when we got there.

Restaurant: Super Fusion, Brookline, MA

Super Fusion Cusine, I'm totally over you. Yup, that's how I'm starting this review.

Super Fusion is a chain (?) of sushi restaurants int he Boston area. There are a few of them in Watertown, Cambridge, and Brookline. This review is for the Brookline location. I have also been to the Porter Square location, but have not been there recently. It's unclear whether they all have the same owner or if they are run completely independently--they used to share a website, but recently, the websites have split.

Restaurant: Bisuteki Tokyo Japanese Steakouse, Cambridge, MA

Right off of Memorial Drive in Cambridge is Bisuteki Tokyo Japanese Steakhouse, one of the few Teppanyaki Steak Houses in the Boston area. Teppanyaki is a japanese style of cooking that is done on a large solid metal cooking surface. (These restaurants are often referred to as Hibachi Steak Houses in the US, though Hibachi is another distinct style of Japanese cooking.)

Restaurant: Gari Japanese Restaurant, Brookline, MA

The Gari Japanese Restaurant is one of many Sushi restaurants within about a 3 block stretch on Harvard Ave in Coolidge Corner, Brookline. It's a very small and cozy space with a nice atmosphere. The restaurant is usually rather quiet, which makes it a great spot for dates.
