One of Yokohama's two long-established Greek restaurants, Olympia takes a fairly traditional approach to the cuisine, which is also reflected in their old-school dining room. The kitchen serves up reliable standards like Moussaka, Spanakopita, fried cod and grilled lamb, and they put together a very appetizing starter plate. The massive bar area is lined with an impressive array of....

Despite the name, one of the things we like best about this gorgeously appointed bar is its relaxed atmosphere. (The name comes from its location on the top floor of a boutique hotel called The Lively.) There are comfortable sofas to stretch out on and a couple of tables out on the mini-terrace overlooking Tokyo Tower, with well-selected jazz playing in the background and an attentive....

Among the handful of shops preparing Hawaiian plate lunches for take-out, the biggest, most diverse menu we've found is here at Maikai Kitchen, located in a narrow alleyway on the island of Tsukishima. The main draw is their lineup of a dozen types of poke, ranging from lomi-lomi salmon and maguro yukke to ahi jalapeno and ebi garlic.
You can order poke or other items from the deli case....

It feels just like a Taiwanese night market during the Lantern festival at Taiwan Yoichi 101, but fortunately without the pungent aroma of the stinky tofu stalls. Colorful lanterns, check. Friendly staff, check. Odd tables and plastic stools, check. Delicious small plates at reasonable prices, check. Taiwan beer and cocktails, check!
For a tiny place that seats about thirty people,....
