🥩✨ An unforgettable dining experience at 挽肉と米 渋谷 in Shibuya Dogenzaka! Famous for their fresh beef patties, rice, and miso soup, this place is a must-try for foodies. 😍 Paying extra for a reservation is totally worth it, as walk-ins are nearly impossible. Watching the staff grill the patties right in front of you makes the meal even more special. Each person gets 3 juicy patties—so good you don’t even need the sauces! Even the kids couldn’t get enough. 🍚🍜 Amazing service, unlimited rice and soup, and a taste of Japanese cooking culture. Don’t miss this gem! #挽肉と米 #ShibuyaEats #JapaneseCuisine #BeefPatty #FoodieExperience #TokyoEats

🍲✨ Ginza Shabu Ki Main Store (銀座しゃぶ輝 本店) may serve quality shabu-shabu beef, but the service left us disappointed. 😔 The meat was fresh and flavorful, but the overall experience was far from enjoyable. The restaurant is not kid-friendly—despite our kids only wanting water, we were forced to order drinks for everyone. We complied, but the waitress still mixed up our order and had no idea what was served. To make things worse, we were told mid-meal to pay and leave because it was the “last order.” While the meat was good, the rushed and rude service was a major letdown. We noticed they offer a 5% discount for positive reviews, which might explain the high ratings. Sadly, we didn’t feel it was deserved. #ShabuShabu #DiningExperience #GinzaShabuKi #FoodieReview #MichelinGuide #DiningFails

🌟🍜 Stepping into 榮泰米粉湯 - a Michelin-recognized gem! Had a quick 10-minute wait before diving into some amazing noodles. Tried the Tom Yum pork soup noodle 🌶️ and it was a hit! Kids loved their clear soup noodles too. Super affordable at 60-80 per bowl, which is great value for a Michelin spot. Might’ve expected the stars to mean something more extravagant, but the authenticity and flavor were spot on! Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for top-notch noodles without breaking the bank. #RongTaiNoodleSoup #MichelinEats #NoodleLovers #FoodieAdventure #BudgetFriendly

🌿✨ Discover the quaint charm of Verde Cafe and Restaurant! 🏛️☕ Tucked away in a beautifully renovated building, this cafe offers a serene spot for premium coffee breaks. Loved the robust ice tonic cold brew and the cozy vibe here. However, note that it’s priced higher than average—almost USD $40 for two sandwiches and three drinks. While the sandwiches are just average, the premium price reflects the exceptional setting and coffee quality. Perfect for those days when you feel like treating yourself! #VerdeCafe #CafeLife #LuxuryCafe #ExpensiveButWorthIt #CoffeeTime #morningtreat

🍴✨ Morning well spent at Mishmish!

☕🌧️ Couldn’t resist checking out East Cafe despite the rain! Missed out on the rooftop vibes but loved every sip inside.

The cafe’s cozy atmosphere and soothing tunes made it the perfect refuge from the rainy day blues.

🌟🍚 Exploring the delights at 三妹小廚 Lady 3 Kitchen! Totally fell in love with their signature HK-style rice pots 🥢. Savored the crispy edges of the pork rib & Chinese sausage rice pot and the uniquely flavorful frog leg version 🐸. Though we missed out on the soup 🥣 (sold out!), the smooth tofu pudding 🍮 and scrumptious egg bubble waffle 🧇 more than made up for it. Can’t wait to go back and make sure we get to try the soup next time! Definitely a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Hong Kong eats. #Lady3Kitchen #HKCuisine #RicePot #TofuPudding #BubbleWaffle #FoodieHeaven @6543 Victoria Dr, Vancouver, BC V5P 3X9, Canada
