Problem: Walking down South Clerk st. you may just stumble upon this often ignored little Tibetan crafts and tea shop. The Himalaya Shop (still sometimes known as Himalaya Art and Craft) is shop specilising in Tibetan clothes, craft and other bits and bobs. At the back of the shop is a small cafe serving a range of teas and some simple snacks. Here they sometimes show films as well as hosting live music. It's a small space but its cosy and they make the most of it. The Himalaya shop supports the Free Tibet group and other charities. It also functions as a meeting place for like minded groups and those wanting to savour the atmosphere of Tibet and Northern India. The owners are friendly and chatty. I got the impression they ran this shop because they felt they were doing something good with it. This gives the place a genuine feel. I was welcomed in and introduced the shop. Before long I was being served some spiced chai and chatting to the man sitting at the opposite table (there are only two large tables). A really interesting and unique shop.

Problem: I've never been here before until two days ago. I went to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. As soon as we got there, we were seated. I liked not having to wait and the woman smiling at us. The menu is a little pricey but I must admit, the food portions were HUGE! The food is very fresh. While we waited for our order, they gave us a fresh biscuit to munch on. I snuck away from my boyfriend to ask someone if they could sing happy birthday to him, he said they didn't do that but he would see what he could do. My boyfriend and I both ended up unable to finish our food (which was VERY good by the way!) so we took it home. The man never came back to tell me what he could do or if there was anything he could so as far as singing happy birthday but that's okay. Very nice place with a home-y feel. I would come back, but only for special occasions :)

Problem: Let me start by saying my husband and I have been OBSESSED with Chef Johnny Chu since the days he stood in front of an open flame in a 6ft open kitchen in a little 900 sq ft house on 3rd St known as "Fate". We have been to most of his other restaurants after the tragic end of the Fate era, but have not been as satisfied. Until last night.... when we finally had a chance to step into Sochu House. Walking in, we were a little intimidated by the soft neon lights and huge sheets of hanging white cloth (we had just come from a movie and were in the very definition of casual attire). It took a minute to be seated because the wait/host staff could not see us standing in front from behind some of that stated white cloth, but once seated we were quickly brought menus and cucumber water. I asked about the reverse happy hour I saw on the website from 10:30pm-close, but apparently that was only offered in the bar. Our waiter did offer to move us to some chaise lounges available in the bar area, but we decided a proper table was necessary to stuff our starving faces at the point. We ordered: Wasabi Soy Chicken and Friend Tofu tapas and the House Dynamite with chicken entree (this was our favorite at Fate). I held onto a menu because of the warnings of small portions from other reviews, and from our experience at Sens (his other tapas-style restaurant), I figured we might still be hungry after these 3 choices. Surprisingly, these portions were pretty darn big and very filling! We walked out of there with a $50 bill (after drinks) and FULL, happy bellies! We were especially please to find Johnny's home cooked goodness style we fell in love with at Fate had made a return at Sochu House. Before we had even finished our meal, we were saying how we could not wait to come back again!
