Here's a round-up of places I've been catching up on since I've been "BITO" (back in the office). I hope you don't mind a few "reruns".....
Another interesting observation is that all of these places opened just before or during the pandemic. Kudos to them for being agile enough to survive for over a year-and-a-half.
A favorite from the first time I walked thru those doors. Real poke, not some concept "Chi-poke" kinda place.
I have noticed that prices have gone up a bit on my last couple of visits....for fish by the pound. The poke bowls are priced the same.
These days I get my poke bowls with half the rice....they tend to give a ton of rice and I can never finish. In fact, when I order for the Missus and I; I just get one medium poke bowl and two half pound containers....of course the Missus needs all the other "stuffs" for Hers.

TJ Dumplings:
I just wanted something small for lunch; so I decided to head on back to TJ Dumplings.
Of course I got the Baozi. Opening the box back at the office I noticed two things. First, unlike my last visit, there was no leakage. Second, there's now only six baozi instead of eight. The filling was more moist and tender than what I'd had on my previous visit and the baozi was lighter and more fluffy. It's not going to make me forget my favorite; but these are ok.

Sue’s Korean Kitchen:
Like the Market at HFS, I like the fact that Sue's opens at 10am as I often have meetings that stretch thru lunch.
It's funny, the woman working here....I think it might be "Sue" remembers me. She told me; "it's nice to see you, it has been a long time"......I guess a bit over three months can seem like quite a while.
Of course I got the Kimchi Fried Rice with Spam ($9.99). Rustic, hearty, lots of Spam. I like the kimchi they use; there's some nice fermented tones. This is always more than I can finish, so I'll take the rest home and have it for breakfast during the weekends with a couple of eggs.
Good prices, portion size, and the woman who works here is so nice.
