Yoshiono

Greece update: Today I’m leaving Athens and arriving on the island of Mykonos by ferry. Hello beaches!

After arriving in New York City on the corner of 33rd and 7th streets, we were hungry. For $16 you can’t really expect peanuts or pretzels during the drive up. Not that I’d want to see the driver walking around while the bus is in motion! We were seeing a show at 2pm, and due to the traffic delays we didn’t get to the city until about noon. So we first made our way towards the theatre and on the way passed by Yoshiono.

Yoshiono is basically a Panda Express that also serves sushi. The prices are low and the quality is adequate. One of the interior graphics remarked that the original Yoshiono in Tokyo, Japan has been around since 1899. I don’t think the New York City branch has been established so long and probably doesn’t stick to the original standards of quality. I ended up choosing the spicy tuna sushi rolls as I wasn’t too hungry. They were pretty tastey I’ll admit, but the tuna looked like it came from a can. Probably safer given the establishment’s lack of finesse.

One thing I really liked about Yoshiono and about all other restaurants and eateries I walked by is that all of the menus have calorie information posted next to each item. Now, if only people would follow through with having that information!
