LumpiaPalooza
Less of a party and more of a gimmick

When you look around, you can see Wichita’s cultural renaissance happening. We have breweries, Hawaiian food, too many chicken restaurants, and finally Filipino food. If you have yet to be exposed to lumpia, lumpia is a spring roll commonly found in the Phillippines. Spring roll and egg roll are generally used interchangeably when discussing the…

Thai Tradition
Fancy sit down Thai with hit or miss service

It was not our first time to Thai Tradition, in fact, we have been to Thai Tradition several times in the past. I never understood the hype over Thai Tradition. As you know, if you have been following along, I have been on a mission to find the best Thai food in Wichita, and it…

Delano’s Diner
Cool Little Diner in an Old Braums

So, since I was watching Food Network last night and someone on there started talking about Belgium Waffles, I knew we had to go to Delano’s Diner for lunch today.  Let me tell you these things are AMAZING!  They have pearl sugar in them that gives them a sugary crunch and are cooked like I remember…

Wasabi Sushi Bar East
Less than optimal location for good sushi

If you are fed up reading Japanese restaurant reviews, we are just as tired of writing them. However, due to the advancement of Japan to the Knockout Rounds of the World Cup, we thought it would be appropriate to eat at a Japanese restaurant for good luck before watching Japan play Belgium. (Yes, as I…

Tokyo Japanese Cuisine
Unpretentious and underrated Japanese spot

“What do you want to eat for lunch?” “I don’t know, what do you want to eat for lunch?” “Well, so-and-so is eating low carb, and so-and-so does not eat vegetables.” We always find ourselves gravitating towards Tokyo Japanese Cuisine for team lunches because they offer a wide range of easily modified dishes at a…

River City Brewery
OG brewery offers decent food

Before breweries started popping up on every Wichita street corner, River City Brewery found its home near downtown Wichita. Since I discovered River City Brewery, I have only visited a handful of times and usually with a large group. This confuses me because I generally consider their food and drink pretty decent. Although they do…

Beautiful Day Cafe
Tiny place with healthier unique options

Whenever we drove past Beautiful Day Cafe on Central, I always thought it was a daycare. It was not until my vegan friend recommended that we go, that I realized that 1) it was not a daycare and 2) what I was missing out on. Beautiful Day Cafe is unlike any other restaurant in Wichita,…

Thai Village
Casual Thai restaurant serving Thai and Lao options

Only a day after Thai House, coworkers suggested Thai Village and being on the Thai trend train, I obliged. I was determined to find a Thai restaurant that usurp my current (and potentially all-time) favorite. Nestled in a strip mall on the southeast side, you hardly notice it sandwiched in between a pool hall and…

Thai House
Go-to place for carryout Thai

I never thought that I would get into a heated argument with someone over best Thai food in Wichita. A coworker asked for a suggestion for Thai food, and I immediately said, “Chiang Mai”, and another coworker chimed in, “Thai House.” Our coworkers ultimately chose Thai House, so I decided that I needed to find…
