that serves an interesting variety of dishes. The most popular page of the
menu--and also the highly recommended is the Japanese Tapas. The variety

creations in the section often include traditional Japanese elements combined
with other kinds of styles and food of cooking not usually found in Japanese
dishes.
Himawari:

restaurant that serves ramen, a popular Japanese dish. Ramen typically contains
noodles, in a meat-based, salty, broth with several toppings such as, green
onions, sliced roasted pork, and eggs. All the dishes found at Himawari are
known to have broth that uses chicken, pork, and seafood base. Hence, it's
certainly not a vegetarian delight.
Other items include appetizers
that feature fried tofu, gyoza, fried meats, kimchi, along with fried rice
plates, salads, and sushi rolls.
While Mexican and Asian food is
very common in California,
South American food is normally more difficult to find. The abundance of
eateries offering South American cuisine in San Mateo is pretty impressive and several of
these restaurants deserve a visit. There is no dearth of Brazilian, Peruvian,
Salvadoran restaurants. Hence, San
Mateo can rightfully be called a food lover’s
paradise.
Traveling to the restaurants:
Alcohol is a big part of an
elaborate American meal. In fact, certain dishes seem ordinary without a glass
of wine, especially during dinner. Hence, to really enjoy the food at one of
these restaurants, one needs to leave the driving to someone else. The best way
to travel in and around San Mateo
is to hire a yellow cab. The driver will not only know the best restaurants but
will also make sure the diner returns to his/her place safely after enjoying
the meal. The best part is these cabs
can be pre-booked via phone or through online reservations. They can also be
called on the spot.
The trick, however, is to find the
right company. It is advised to stick to a provider that is reliable and
affordable. There are numerous reputed transportation businesses in San Mateo that offer such
services at excellent prices.
