This place has been on my radar for a while. The menu looks like the typical Phoenix izakaya-but-not-actually-an-izakaya hodgepodge of Japanese dishes popular with Americans, but yeah, I got the sense that these waters might run a little deeper. Need to get over there and check it out. Thanks for th...

Hooooooraaaaaay! Anybody who's spent any time in a Japanese combini (convenience store) knows that there's a whole culinary subculture built around delicious sandwiches built on slices of shokupan (milk bread) with various fillings. Of course, they aren't limited to combini, but this style of Japane...

Did Claudio leave the og Pala? Yup, he did. Maybe a year ago? It's been quite a while. He and Jason fit together so nicely that it was a totally seamless transition. I don't think it was a problem or a bad blood scenario. I think Pa'La Prime (24th street) wasn't quite working out, and I think Claud...

We all know and love the regular menu. (I mean... I do.) But when Kyle Kent and his crew start messing around an...

Sardonic poke aside, I don't mean to imply disrespect. I just vote that we call it what it is :-) Anyway, there has been much buzz about Tacos Veganos and how it's a great spot whether or not you're the meaty type, and I'm down with purely vegetarian grub whether or not it's going incognito, so I fi...

An excellent first Food Nerd Friday to kick off PHXfn 2.0 :-) We had a nice big crowd and some very nice food, some of which I know folks will be coming back for in short order. Saima's Grill is inside Turmeric Cash & Carry (formerly Lotus Market), just off to the left. This is as spartan a Mom ...

Oh, hey, Mrs. Lunchbox! Didn't see that you'd registered

Sorry for the time change, all. Restaurant had two different opening times on its website :-/
