Don’t know why, I’ve been in a dim sum mood lately. There are only a few places in Cincinnati that serve dim sum. Quite surprising given that there are a lot of Chinese in the area. There are, of course, over a hundred “Chinese restaurants”, but only these serve dim sum on […]

Chopsticks is a new restaurant in West Chester, about a half an hour’s drive from downtown Cincinnati. It’s about 6 months old, located in West Chester’s commercial strip on Tylersville, off of I-75. Tastefully appointed and quiet inside, the walls a cheerful mustard, and seating for about 75. There’s an empty space […]

“I eat only vegetables.” This is the phrase photographer and traveler Carl Weaver suggests you use if you’re a vegetarian traveling to Thailand. (Substitute “Pom” for “Dee Chan” if you’re a man.)
The more I learn about vegan and vegetarian diets, the more I appreciate Asian cuisine, particularly Thai. These people know how […]

P. F. Chang’s is one of those places that has paid so much attention to their facade, you can’t help but expect that they would give as much attention to their food. Thankfully, I wasn’t disappointed, and hopefully neither will you. Their restaurants’ exteriors are at once inviting as they are imposing. […]

Kyoto Japanese Cuisine
I don’t know why their website says “Blue Kyoto” when the sign at the restaurant does not have the word “Blue”. The menu on the website is also incomplete — the sushi and sashimi offerings aren’t there. So I don’t know if this is an old website and they initially offered […]
