My friends and I came to Hachi looking for a different sushi place. This place had some good…read morereviews so we decided to check it out! We came on a Friday evening and it was full but they were able to find us a table quickly. Inside, the place has a very casual feel and I honestly wasn't sure what we were going to get when we ordered. Just to say, looks were deceiving, but in a good way! The food was at a different (better) level than the ambience in the room. Basically, don't worry about how the place looks - you will love the food. Our waitress was sooo nice and friendly. We got our drinks quickly and ordered right away. Though we came for sushi, we were all mesmerized by the entree options and opted to try the bento boxes. I'm used to small bento boxes with tightly portioned foods and the "basics." What we got surprised us all. These bento boxes were actually huge plates of food. A full order of vegetable tempura, a whole California roll, entree, soup and gyoza. We barely made it through a quarter of it! And it was delicious! I got the chicken teriyaki and the chicken was so tender. The tempura was fried perfectly and the gyoza had a great flavor. All in all, I recommend you try this place out! Is it a fancy date night place? No. Is it a super casual date night place? Yes! Try the bento - you won't be disappointed! 4/5 stars only because they should spruce up the inside to match their amazing food!

Floral teas, handmade sweets & dairy-free heaven…read more Came here originally just for a bubble tea... and ended up discovering a whole hidden gem. First thing I noticed was their sign saying most of the sweets are handmade, customized, and one-of-a-kind and you can really tell. Everything feels unique, not your typical copy-and-paste dessert spot. Let's get into the drinks because that's what brought me in I tried the Singapore rose with kiwi boba super delicate, floral, and lightly sweet. It's one of those drinks that feels refreshing but still has flavor. The kiwi boba gave it that little pop of tangy kick that made it even better. I also tried the dragon fruit tea with passionfruit boba; this one was giving tropical vibes all the way Light, slightly sweet, and really smooth. The passionfruit boba actually enhanced the tea instead of overpowering it, which I loved. And can we talk about the options here?! Dairy-free ice cream (huge plus if you're sensitive like me) Thai ice cream Kunafa nest treats (yes... they looked as good as they sound ) This is definitely the kind of place where you come for one thing and end up planning your next visit before you even leave. Final thoughts: If you like trying new flavors, floral teas, or just want something different from your usual bubble tea spot. This place is worth it. Unique menu, handcrafted sweets, and drinks that actually taste intentional.

It took around half an hour to get two ice creams. Only one person was making ice cream, and the other was taking orders. It wasn't busy either. Such a cool concept, hopefully they can work on their timing!

After dinner with some friends at Typhoon in Middletown, some of the party walked over to Tswirl…read moreCrepe, which recently opened in Middletown. I was excited when I saw Tswirl Crepe open as the South End of Main Street lacks much of a dessert scene. Tswirl Crepe offers Japanese crepes with their crepes made out of rice flour batter. The crepes are then stuffed and folded like a cone. They offer a number of options for the interior of the crepes including banana chocolate, strawberry banana and matcha chocolate truffle. They also have healthier options including lunch and dinner options with tuna, salmon, beef, chicken and vegetables. I got the banana chocolate crepe, which was good. It had a combination of whipped yogurt, chocolate custard chunks and granola topped with chocolate sauce and slices of bananas. Tasty! However, the crepe was also about $10, which isn't cheap for that type of item. However, the quality of the crepe was good, so that the price more palatable. The service was a bit slow, but the restaurant was very crowded. Altogether, Tswirl Crepe is a nice, new edition to Main Street in Middletown and I'll likely be there again!

And the best part is that you can add boba to any of your drinks - adding brown sugar boba to my match was a game changer!

Absolutely fantastic savory crepes: I had the vegetarian lover crepe while my dining partner had…read morethe crab crepe. We both greatly enjoyed our crepes: they made for a quick and relatively healthy breakfast. The vegetarian crepe had incredibly fresh veggies including spinach, beans and edamame, delicate, spongy and flavourful tofu, and swirls of lovely savory (Sriracha?) mayo. The crepes were also beautifully presented and I couldn't resist photographing my crepe. For dessert, I got a scoop of the salted caramel gelato, which had the perfect amount of sweetness. All in all, I was highly impressed with the flavour, quality and presentation of what I had tried. The restaurant is conveniently located on Main Street, and there was plenty of parking on a weekday morning. The seating area was clean, and the establishment also had a range of savory and sweet snacks, including green tea chocolate truffles, and Japanese "black" coffee bars. There was also a make-it-yourself cotton candy machine that we did not manage to try. The people at the counter (the same people making the crepes) were polite and generally pleasant. Overall, highly recommend a visit if you're in Middletown.

AND, their signature Curry…read moreRamen bowl is essentially the *best* eating version of Khao Soi you will experience all year - and for most of those who don't eat a lot of Khao Soi, hold on to your rally caps - this bowl at Kaliubon will blow your mind. I simply cannot imagine ordering anything other than their Curry Ramen bowl from this point forward. Like one would legitimately be insane not to get it, provided you are an average fan of standard Thai-style curries like Red, Panang, or even Las Vegas style Three-color (Red+Green+Yellow). My suggested mod: Ask for your home-crafted noodles a little extra "QQ" or chewy al dente. And ask for a side of their home-made chili oil to step up the Szechuan influence. Normally I shun the fusion or "new-style" menu items, but this Curry Ramen bowl is stuff of dreams. Perfectly executed, temperature hot, unforgettably umami, and the exact drinkable curry broth viscosity that is no accident. This bowl is a champion, folks!
