Thanks to our editor, Larnna, for approaching me with this new local spot that just opened up in the Dr. Phillips area.

I’ve heard of poké before and know that it’s very popular in Hawaii and is similar to Japanese seafood don (Kaisen don).

The inside was nice and clean and similar to Subway in the way that you can order and customize your order and they prepare it in front of you.

The price and selection can be found here: https://lemonsharkpoke.com/menu/. They also have Spam Musubi!

Thank you to Larnna and her family for meeting up with me. I finally got to meet her little one. It’s always great to see friends and catch up.

Make sure you check out our vlog for this cool spot.

Thanks to my editor, Larnna, for recommending that I try a new spot called, “ROYALTEA,” that recently opened up in Orlando. I took a trip with my buddy, Andy, to try it out.

The installation included the menu. I love the clean design paired with with elements of nature and wood displays and furniture. The lighting was nice and bright.

This place is busy that they gave us a pager while we waited for our drinks.

Andy and I ordered different drinks. Andy got the Mousse Milk Tea and I got the Lychee Black Mousse Tea. The cup design is so cool and allows you to drink with a straw or through a small opening so you can taste the drink mousse or cheese mousse. They recommend that you hold it at a 45 degree angle for optimal taste.

It’s a great place to enjoy tea time with your friends.

Thank you to my buddy, Droolius, for inviting me to try the ramen at Domu. I’ve heard about this place from my friends.Everyone has raved about their Korean Fried Chicken so I was definitely excited about trying this new spot. A quick note, this place doesn’t take reservations so make sure you come early.

The installation mural is by local artist Boykong.

Droolius recommended ordering the WINGS6 EXTRA CRISPY WINGS COATED W/ KIMCHI BUTTER SAUCE (GLUTEN-FREE). This is most popular dish people orders. very crispy like Korean style.

Another item on their menu is the KRABBY PATTYFRIED SOFT SHELL CRAB WITH TORCHED TOMATO, MICRO GREENS, RADISH, YUZU SHICHIMI MAYO, which looked interesting to me since most traditional bao use meat as their main ingredient.

We also tried an item on the menu that had Korean BBQ corn as a base, which one of my favorites is sweet corn with cheese. The Domu version is called CHEEZUSCORN (CUT OFF THE COBB), KEWPIE MAYO, MELTED MOZZARELLA, JAPANESE SPICES, SCALLIONS, LIME (GLUTEN-FREE).

One of my friends, Emily, ordered the DOMU DONUNI WITH SPICY TUNA, IKURA, CHIVES, RADISH, NORI (GLUTEN-FREE OPTION). The rice bowl was mixed with high-end ingredients so it was a bit pricey.

There are 4 main in-house ramen bowls, each with its own specialty.

I ordered the TOKYO Ramen with SHOYU CHICKEN BROTH, FRIED CHICKEN THIGH, AJITAMA BRULEE, KIKURAGE, SEARED GARLIC CHIVES, INFUSED DUCK FAT, AND GARLIC SCALLION CONFIT. This was so good and the chicken was perfectly made.

My wife ordered the Spicy MISO (choice of butter or spicy) CHASHU, CORN, BEAN SPROUTS, SCALLIONS, KIKURAGE, AND KOMI OIL.

Droolius mentioned that his favorite is the CURRY ramen with CHICKEN BROTH, FRIED CHICKEN THIGH, JAPANESE BEECH MUSHROOMS, MENMA, THAI BASIL, SCALLIONS, THAI CHILI PASTE (MILD, MEDIUM, OR HOT).
