Food Scene
This noodle shop only has 5 things on the menu, but all of them are worth it. Get the "tantan men" (Chinese-style spicy/sweet noodles in a sesame broth) and cabbage fried rice. Oh, and expect to wait.

Delicious sushi place with a friendly chef and mid-tier prices. Oddly enough they also serve American-style sushi rolls such as the "Obama-roll" and the "Nixon-roll". Seriously!
