Re: Fatboy Sandos — Japanese Sandwiches at AZ International in Mesa

I just tried them for the first time 3 days ago, so I'm not sure if this was pre-japanese milk bread or not, but I was super disappointed in the bread, actually. It felt not at all squishy and soft like I was hoping for. Fingers crossed it was the old bread and this is new, because I was quite under...

Re: The Stone Korean Tofu House - Soondubu in Mesa Asian District

Does anyone know the deal with the second location? The one in Mesa Asian District is The Stone Korean Tofu House and the one in East Mesa is The Stone House. They share a logo/signage, but I'm not sure how related they are. I've been to the East Mesa location a few times, and I'm guessing they don'...

Re: Hapa Food Co.- Best Kalbi in Phx

The poke nachos is officially on the menu now.

I personally prefer the unfilled Malasadas, but I'm kinda anti-filled-donuts too. Just give me the delicious fried dough item and I'm a happy dude.

Hapa Food Co.- Best Kalbi in Phx

Just gonna throw down the gauntlet. I think the Kalbi at Hapa beats any other that I've had in town, including any KBBQ. (The crispy grilled Ribs at Comiendo Con Memo might be my runner up.) At Hapa, the Malasadas are also awesome, the Garlic Shrimp is solid, and the Poke is above average. I think t...

Big Nates Family BBQ- East Mesa

This hidden BBQ joint, tucked away in an industrial park plaza next to an A/C place and an Auto Repair shop, is just around the corner from me. It's kinda become my go-to local fix for BBQ, when i'm not trying to find "THE" BBQ spot. I tried the Beef Rib (Fri-Sat Only) for the first time o...

New Exec Chef at Sanctuary- Gregory James

I just had Gregory James roll thru my escape room. He happens to be a big Escape Room enthusiast, but we got to talking about food, and it sounds like he just moved back to town to take over the Exec. Chef role at Sanctuary. He must have worked several places in Phx before, because we were chatting ...

Tipsy Chicken

Craving Korean Fried Chicken, I swung by the Hmart/Mekong area and popped into Tipsy Chicken. I'd walked past before but never been in. It's a fun vibe, pretty packed with large groups of mostly young people drinking heavily. Got 14 wings, split 50/50 original and sweet and spicy. Also got the sausa...
