It leads many restaurants to wonder whether to get rid of the tipping system as well. PRO: Better Working Terms…

The trip ended with one of the most memorable meals of my life. The restaurant was tucked in a tangle of alleyways in a quiet, residential area of Tokyo. Small, welcoming and clean: the restaurant’s exterior represented the delicate and exquisite food that we were about to taste. Two elderly chefs, who were behind the counter, were filleting a…

For the ethnic dining experience assignment Ayak and I chose to go to Hoi Sushi restaurant located on Wyandotte street in Windsor. We chose that restaurant out of many other ones because I’ve never tried sushi before and I’ve heard from many people that the food there was delicious. Also we decided to eat there because it was something out of our comfort zone and it was not only Japanese that was there at the restaurant. When we walked in a lady came up to us and asked a table for how many,…
