SHIBUYA: Very interestingly hidden Chopstick Cafe Shirubei a little trek from Shibuya Station... fun times.

This night I followed a few pilots, cabin attendants and visitors from Australia into a very underpopulated part of Shibuya thru a tiny maze into Shirubei.

Specials for February 22nd.

We ordered several dishes but they were rather average at best.  I think the main selling point here is the cozy interior and Japanesy experience.

Fresh saba fish before it gets torched...

Overall the food that we ordered was very mediocre at best but I think the cool part was getting to the restaurant and the interesting interior.

YOTSUYA: YELP at Siddique Palace for some amazing belly dancing and incredibly delicious instant Butter Chicken and Lamb Curry!

This night our amazing YELP Tokyo Community Manager Rika set up the perfect event with a great Belly Dance team from the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies and instant curry straight out of little boxes~... the best instant I've ever tasted!

The night was so incredibly windy and cold!  Proud Yelp sign laid out on the steps...

Counter seating area for 8.

The owner doing a bit of MC.  Yelps official photographer... He brought along his Canon 5D and brand new Canon 7D Mark II with a 24-70mm lens.  

I met a fellow Elite this night.. Mr. Toshi in Blue.  One of the best thing about these events is that you will meet so many great people who are so social and if you continue to attend the friendly regulars are always there.

The beautiful and talented belly dancers from TUFS Belly Dance Club

東京外国語大学 ベリーダンスクラブ.  I've watched belly dancers thru the years but honestly the first time I really enjoyed all the different performances.  Spot on super.

With the capacity of this restaurant at 92 and having 140 Yelpers I waited until the very end when the line died down before giving food a try.  The butter chicken was so deep and rich... yum!

Lamb curry was also incredibly tasty.

And so this is where we all found out that the curry being served was instant box curry!  Definitely a fan but being instant we weren't exposed to the authentic food that this restaurant actually makes... a bit unfortunate. 

If you aren't a Yelper please download the app and begin!  You won't find a better group of Community Managers, Elites and super friendly people who all love food.
