    "A great standard for comparison when it comes to Maisen. Fresh panko and a selection quality pork are what makes this place. Very fluffy yet crispy texture makes up the tonkatsu here. Worth a visit."

    "This has got to be one of the coolest places to get espresso drinks in the world. The old world Japanese building with a one man espresso show & garden make for a unique experience. A must in the area"

    "You go here for the Tsukemen and leave with the satisfaction. Depending on the time of the day it will be a short or ridiculous line. It moves pretty fast. The dipping broth/gravy is rich & delicious."

    "The ShinQ food levels are amazing. Housing the world's only Le Pain de Robuchon as well as outlets for noted brands Sadaharu Aoki & Hermes. You can pretty much find anything you need in the 2 levels."
