asian fusion is not a new concept, not in food, not in fashion, not in music, not in movie... what's the difference between asian fusion culture and americanized asian culture? wow, that's a deep question, and we could debate about it for hours over some good food at boas, if you'd like.
what does the name mean??? i asked the waiter that. as korean pop music has become quite popular around the world, many people know of the teen sensation pop singer boa kwon. i asked the waiter if the name came from her name. he gave a very good answer. he said that the name does draw appeal from the younger crowd with its connection to the popular singer, but the owner actually named it so after the old testament, biblical personality (boaz). wow, that's interesting. boaz was a man who shared his fortune, and the owner wants people to feel that way when they're at his restaurant. come join in the festivity, come share the joy.
boas has two sections: the "family restaurant" and the jazz bar. i wondered why they call it the "family restaurant" as it's not a carrow's or anything; but you have to understand that the moniker contrasts it from the jazz bar side which is also a japanese style "hostess" bar. i'm not too familiar with concept of "hostess" bars, and it's not like prostitution or a strip club or anything, but i guess it's something that's more adult in nature. anyway, i've only been to the "family restaurant" but would like to enjoy some jazz without any "hostess service" sometime in their bar.
the food they serve is pretty korean in origin but with contemporized euro-american flair. dishes are served euro-american style without chopsticks but with fork and knife. after all, in asia, to show that you've got class, you've got to be able to eat with a fork and knife.
the restaurant has some wines and a decent selection of korean liquors such as the raspberry brandy liquor.
the service in the restaurant is so friendly and very eagerly helpful.

In my opinion, Cold Stone is a way better place to ice cream than Baskin Robbins or Ben and jerry’s. The prices are pretty low, and the ice ream taste is great. They have tons of flavors, and the portions are huge! One small order of ice cream is around three bucks, and it’s huge! Additionally, you get one free topping with every order, and each extra topping costs only fifty cents. They have brownie’s chocolate chips, chocolate syrup, caramel syrup, strawberries, and so much more for toppings. Honestly, Cold Stone’s ice cream is fantastic. They also sell cakes.

Yiassoo is a wonderful Greek restaurant/fast food place frequented by the work lunch crowd (at which time it is fairly crowded). The staff is very friendly as well and they dont complain about accepting credit cards for lesser amounts (as some small businesses do). Onto the food itself - personally I love their gyros and french fries. Also try their souvlaki sandwiches (lamb and chicken) and their lamb kabobs. For the vegetarians, the falafel is pretty good too.

Price: $$$
Taste: 5 Stars
Great atmosphere, lots of tables on the tatami floor, where you are required to remove your shoes. True authentic izakaya style. But no worries, you don't have to kneel, the floors have holes for you to sit like western style. They also have regular tables. Make sure you make your reservations if you want to dine on Friday or weekends. We picked various dishes, as well as the fish of the day - black cod with soy-sake! Clay pot rice with Eel is delicious. I ordered a Lychee-shochu drink, was flavorful but didn't taste the shochu part, guess it wasn't strong enough. Lots of locals love this store, so if you want to hit one of the local spots, give this a try.

My husband and our 2 daughters went here one night just looking for a good place to have dinner and thought we would give this place a try. Not only is the food delicious, the customer service was excellent, the servers were friendly, and the owner, who was also waiting tables, came by our table to chat and welcome us to his restaurant. We saw this same waiter/owner deliver 8 full water glasses the the table that had sat down before us...understand he did not have a tray...was balancing all 8 glasses with just his arms and hands...as we watched him do this he also set down the glasses with out spilling a drop and not touching the top edges of any of the glasses. That sold us on a great to place to eat and enjoy the meal.
Pros: Tons of choices whether buffet or sushi or a type of Mongolian BBQ
Cons: Not all foods labled...

Outstanding sushi and tempura! On top of it, they constantly are playing Finding Nemo on a flatscreen in view for most patrons to see. My husband and I LOVED this restaurant for the great sushi and the great environment it was served in.
