Addiction Aquatic Development 上引水產@Taiwan ★★★

Reasonably Priced Seafood in Taipei, Taiwan. Freshness and all. Seafood Platter was awesome. Live Lobster Sashimi was a bomb. You can also make the Lobster head into Miso Soup after you finish the Sashimi. Very crowded. They have different areas for different types of food inside the market: raw bar, sushi bar, and hot pot. 1-2 hours wait for the standing sushi bar. You can just take a ticket and eat in another area while you wait for the sushi bar. It's all worth it. They don't provide water. Please bring yourself a bottle of water.

Chaya Brasserie@Beverly Hills ★★★

Fantastic Japanese Fusion Food. Great drinks. 30 years in business. The Chaya Moscow Mule is served in a copper mug, which makes it very fun to drink from. Wagyu Beef Roll was one-of-a-kind.

Fresh Live Seafood. My goto place for fresh Uni. Its spines were still moving. Usually sold out later in the day on Sundays. BTW, Cherrystone Clams are the new Oysters (at least for me). Blue Crab is inexpensive - nice, sweet, and small. You can borrow a wooden hammer from the counter to crack open the crab with a $3 refundable deposit.
