I recently had lunch at Menkui Tei, a tiny Japanese restaurant tucked away in corporate Midtown. It was packed—a line stretched out the door, and we were asked to leave immediately after paying our bill so others could file in.
This picture in no way does the size of the bowl justice, but that giant serving of Sara Udon cost just $10 and easily made three meals.
I’m not always the most adventurous ethnic eater, but it was refreshing to try something outside of my soup-salad-sandwich lunch routine. What are some of your favorite ethnic spots?
