Can anyone help me out? A year or two ago, my family and I had a great dinner at a middle-eastern restaurant in Portland. We loved this place, but, infuriatingly, can’t remember the name or location. We’ll be in town... (3 replies, last updated by sophiamaria November 21, 2008)

from different places like kimchi (Korea), ebi furai (yohshoku), etc. I do eat at Ajisen from time to time because I have nostalgic memories of it from HK. The gyoza holds some strange attraction because of the sauce. It’s... (48 replies, last updated by miir September 2, 2008)
