  4. Great list! Nice to see these places get some online play. I'd add anything at Asmara and the goat dish from the Halal market at Congress and St John. The soups at Loco Pollo seem on the fast track, but its too soon to say for sure.

  5. I like Asmara and also, yes, Loco Pollo does a kick-ass Pozole. My only issue is that I think they should use a less-lean cut of pork, as it tends to dry out in the soup. The broth is spot on though....

  7. I felt exactly the same about the pozole. Great flavors, needs fattier pork.

    Nice to see you this morning!

  9. Not sure about Asmara. There are a million new African restaurants that i need to try at some point. Also, I've heard good things about the soft tofu stew at Happy Teryaki. Think I'll go for lunch today. And yes, Masa Miyake has never diasppointed with anything. Papaya King... mmmm... late night...

  10. Asmara is open - i ate there on Saturday. They replaced the booths with tables and replaced the "unity platter" with a "vegetarian feast".
