Jinzen

For our monthly ladies dinner, Patience picked Jinzen, since she loves Asian foods so much, and they recently opened in the old Craft Beer Cellars (moment of silence).

Ramen is one of Patience's most favorite things to eat and I knew that's what she would order, but they actually have so much more! This was a good thing since I'm usually not in the mood for ramen when it's warm outside.

Between six of us, we were able to order a lot of items from the menu.

I played it somewhat safe as I just wanted a variety of appetizers. Spring rolls and chicken gyoza (not pork!) were my starters, and the chicken skewers ended up as my main course.

Dining out in a large group means you get to try a lot of things, so we ordered a few other appetizers such as the Tempura vegetables and Tonkatsu, which is a deep-fried pork cutlet. I think it could have been a meal on its own since it came with a salad on the other half of the plate! Patience knew she was going to have leftovers for sure.

Julia was wild and ordered the Deconstructed Crab Rangoon Dip. Very creamy!
