Asura Lunch

Lunch with friends 

First appetizer was this pretty cool rock shrimp tempura. I really liked it, thought that it was a great way to start off the lunch. Not the best I've ever had... but it does taste pretty good. 

Rock Shrimp Tempura

Shrimp Veggie Roll

This was hinted to me that it was super good... Well in my opinion... it was okay... but I could have done with out it. I liked the rock shrimp better. 

Salmon Teriyaki Lunch Bento

My bento box was cool... I opted to get the veggie rice because the picture looked so good... I ended up eating all the rice, shumai, and ginger and a little bit of the salmon,,, The salmon was pretty bland and I could not really understand why I chose this dish..

I hear this place has a really good happy hour... I might try it one day and see how that works out... till then I am still on the fence about this place.

Red Moon Bento Box Lunch

RED MOON

I love this place. The ambiance, the people, they are all awesome. My favorite thing to get here aside from the drinks are the bento boxes.

Here we have a complementary green tea. Always helps kick start your metabolism!!

 

Here is our nicely plated Bento box. The Salmon is a great size. The shumai, avocado rolls, and rice are nice complements to this whole lunch venture. I am usually full after eating this. Then I can commence the drinking frenzy!!!  (Pictures coming soon!)

Red Moon

Let's talk about awesome random lunch. I was craving Salmon for a week and googled the closest Japanese inspired place. I stumbled upon this place and fell in love with the menu and prices. Below we have the reason why!

This green tea is so fresh and refreshing that I was shocked it was complementary to any dish you ordered. I ate at the bar, but i could have grabbed any seat that I wanted. The decor and atmosphere was a combination of goth meets modern art.

Here we have the reason why I fell in love with the place. I ordered a bento box like always. In midtown $10 could get you so far... But this beauty was $12 and do you see the size of my plate; let along the size of the salmon. Everything was fresh and appetizing. I almost  felt bad that I wanted to take it out instead of eating it there. Glad I stayed and made a friend at the bar.

 

After eating I fell in a food coma; something I never fall into, let alone feel full after a meal. I told everyone at the office and showed them the pictures. Of course they were shocked I found such a Gem. They were also shocked that i was full!

I highly recommend this place to anyone. The other dishes I saw leave the kitchen looked just as good as my lunch. I would definitely come here once a week just to tickle my fancy. Oh and P.S. I will try their Happy hour!!!!
