A little bit of everything? Sure, why not.. With all the dishes being $10 or less, was able to order one of everything and paid less than $100 (that includes tax/tip) for two fairly big eaters. Went on a Tuesday and had a great time; both Chef Stinson Chef Suh was able to talk on each dish’s preparation, how fun!! One thing we didn’t take advantage of was the BYOB, available but we were so hungry that even a short hop away from the Candler Park Market to buy some sake was taxing.
Favorite eat would have to be the Pork belly mochi. What a different take on what I’ve typically had sweet. Also, the Cha-Mushi was really delicate and delicious.

Outside ALOWYF
A really cool restaurant located off of Kingsland Rd in the district of Dalston. Initially walking up to the establishment was a bit confused as one would expect proper signage for a restaurant/eatery. It was thanks to my cousin’s explanation that ‘A Little of What You Fancy’ is one of London’s best pop-up restaurants, things made more sense. Exciting, as I’ve always wanted to experience a pop-up restaurant!
The dinning there was relaxing and easy going. Never felt rushed or had the feeling the server was trying to up-sell. Gave us the information we needed as we asked for it. The food was just what I wanted. Traditional and authentic British food that was delicious!
That Roasted Pork Belly, Ice Cream, and the meringue were awesome. The menu typically changes but, should one be fortunate to find those items on the evening of your visit, make sure to order those dishes. You wont be sorry, nor will you have trouble sleeping; after dinner, I slept like a rock. Enjoy! 🙂

While reading Chef Acheson’s blog on the finale of Bravo’s Top Chef Masters Season 4 (congrats btw to Chris Cosentino!), he made a mention of how there is a dish that is similar to the beef tartar dish Chris served. I’ve always wanted to check out ESS and figured this past weekend was the opportunity to do so. After a few back/forth tweets between myself and both Chef Acheson/Chef Smith, knew exactly what to order for the group! Chef Ryan Smith mentioned Steak and Eggs with the oats and hot sauce; while Chef Hugh Acheson just said anything with pork and coffee. Also during some researching around the net, saw that the Pimento Cheese with bacon marmalade was a must have. Just reading it made me salavate.
Favorite dishes: Steak and Eggs with the oats and hot sauce; also, the Pimento cheese w/ bacon marmalade (it was better than the name sounds, which is pretty freaking awesome!!).

Shoya Izakaya | Doraville, GA USA
Onigiri; rice shaped in spheres wrapped with seaweed garnished with salmon. Served with pickled plum
Shrimp Shumai; shrimp, ginger, onion
Agedashi Tofu, organic tofu, scallion, shredded nori, chili radish and tempura sauce
Beef Tongue; natural salt, lemon, scallion
Pork Belly Kushiyaki; grilled pork belly with lemon
Okonomi Yaki; Japanese pancake with pork, egg, and vegetables.
While doing some research on the restaurant, I could not help but notice the term ‘Izakaya’ that was displayed in some places and not others. What I found out was that Izakaya is Japanese for ‘Japanese Public House’ or based on the definition from MetaGlossary, “a place where people get together for a lot of loud talking, heavy drinking, and a little bit of food.” So essentially Shoya is the Japanese makings of a gastropub / gastrolounge! If I were well versed in Kanji and/or knowledged in Japanese culture, I would have known this to be of a drinking/eating type of place due to the large lantern with ‘Shoya Izakaya’ written in Kanji. Izakaya, also known as ‘akach?chin,’ traditionally placed these in front so people would know what kind of establishment it was.
The place definitely has character, with the lanterns and various Japanese artifacts/figurines displayed throughout to enrich even further its authenticity. Combine the environment, the quick service (with the help of the table side doorbell), and the delicious food; you have the makings of a really good place.
