or to Taipan Foot Massage.... so I should put them on my to do list when I'm in town in a few weeks.
Absolutely! Taipan is beyond fabulous... and they also have a branch near the St Regis. My friend and I spent 4 hours there today, watched the Departed, ate and drank lots, and got great massages. The total bill was less than Y200 each (including coupons).
I don't really know what constitutes good Japanese food, so I'll take your advice on that.
My girlfriend is Japanese, has VERY high standards, and has taught me the ropes. Unlike Shanghai, Beijing is pretty weak in this category, but, in spite of the fact that I haven't been there yet, I'm pretty confident that Yotusuba is worth an evening; the reviews simply give off a vibe that isn't typical here.
Incidentally, I totally agree with your assessment of Green T House from a while back. It was one of the ollest places I have ever eaten, but I left feeling hungry.
I appreciate your thorough study of my reviews and am glad that we have similar ideas. But, it is worth mentioning that my boss loves that place (he is 100% ambience/atmosphere).
