MSG150 If you're ever in Viet-Wah shopping for awesome Asian groceries... skip the food.

On our last trip up the hill, while waiting outside for Rob's order -- we're always waiting on Rob's order -- we spent some time giggling at the "remedies" being offered by the herbalist at the Viet-Wah Asian grocer. ...
MSG150 The attack is on. We're starting to go to restaurants in Georgetown between zero and two times per week... and we'll be reviewing all of the lunches. Check out the site, we've got our first review up... and some new rules... and an awesome design.

It's go time for our new adventure. We have decided to start on Airport Way and spiral around Georgetown counterclockwise seeking out and eating lunch at every independent spot we come across. Thanks to Google Street View we were able to do some remote reconnaissance before heading out today. ...
MSG150 The Skillet Street walkup window just opened next to our office. We're pretty damned excited... and have been frequenting it often.
Expectations were low today as the MSG150 crew headed out to meet up with Michael and Veggie Roberto at the New Saigon Deli...
Another day, another hidden ID restaurant. Today's trek took us to the back side of the Viet Wah grocery store to Saigon Bistro. Apparently this Saigon Bistro is in no way related to the other Saigon Bistro in the Uwajimaya food court...
MSG150 Had the three types of tacos from the Marination truck on Friday. It was delicious, and highly recommended.

Marination Mobile is Seattle’s sauciest food truck. Founded in 2009, Marination specializes in Hawaiian and Korean curb cuisine that is always fast, usually marinated in a signature sauce, frequently served in a tortilla, and mostly healthy. ...
MSG150's good friend Tien has been talking up LA Cafe for years. It was not in the path of our original route so it went untouched. Now, as we expand east, LA Cafe gets its day...
Today the MSG150 crew ate at the last restaurant in our Japantown route. We have now eaten at every International District restaurant west of I-5. This is a feat that has never before been attempted and will surely win us a place in Guinness. Or at least a Guinness. I'm buying...
Though not complete with Japantown, we were dismayed to find our next joint, Tsukushinbo, closed that day. Intrepidly we proceeded into the vast unknown, eastward up our old friend Jackson, under the freeway and into our central station: the Pacific Rim Center...

5 chopsticks: great! Best of the ID.4 chopsticks: good. Worth a trip.3 chopsticks: average. meh.2 chopsticks: not so good1 chopstick: dog food!
The lime green sign calls. MSG150 heeds. Ichiban it is. Mt. Fuji on sign. It mocks the Fuji near by. We mock both the same. We find Ichiban. We are welcomed in to sit. Our hot tea arrives. Menus are green too. "No sushi" explains the sign...
MSG150 The website is back online! Thanks to everyone for being patient. (Just FYI, Geary was anything but patient... and hounded poor Adam constantly)
MSG150 Our website is down! We've been on the phone with several people several times to try to get things worked out... unfortunately, 1and1.com is a worthless service provider and we hate them thoroughly.
Today our Japantown route stated to show some of its Japanese roots. The route turned east today on Main Street from 5th Avenue and brought us to Fuji Sushi in the base of a cement urban second growth high-rise housing complex...
