There’s quite a few empty floors. Lots of floors with small number of tenants. At least 2 full empty floors, and 1 where they have their updated showrooms. We chose this building so we can expand as needed.

The next building to the west is even more bare. We were looking at the 31st floor there.

asbestos is not dangerous unless its disturbed.

The Freshmarket/SAIT ramen is really fucking good - I wouldn't say it's expensive for the quality of food you get but it ain't cheap (~$14 iirc). You want good cheap ramen, hit up Tokyo Street Market (not in a +15). That said, it's stupid busy all the time.

Koya is cheap and pretty good. Although I don't know what the hype about it is, I don't find it worth the line-up if there is one. But I'm a white honky so what do I know.

Wise and Wright is a god damn rip-off. Downstairs at The Unicorn is quite reasonably priced and the food is solid pub fare. Palamino is always worth the walk despite not being in a +15 either.

Want more non-+15 options?! :rofl:

Thi Thi, Moose and Poncho, Wai’s BBQ, Jackie’s Thai are also excellent no +15 fare.

Tbh most of these places essentially require you to cross the st from the +15.

Non +15 Pub fare, try out the bear and kilt. Great spot, and they change the menu every month

+15 food, my only real experience of note in the past 19 years would be installing the cabinets recently at some new Korean street food place in BVS. Haven't even been back to sample anything there.

Koya's beef quality is even worse than Edo during a rush when they pre-cook all the beef. :thumbsdow

bankers is the only good Koya

Has anyone tried Spice Cafe?

Yes, it's great but rather expensive. The two girls that run it are also quite attractive.

Haha - I walk by it a lot too, but it just seemed expensive... But at least knowing its good, might justify trying it once

Menu sounds really good and not too far from me. I'll report back next week.

Portions are huge there. Could probably get away with giving 2/3s and lowering price of things a couple of bucks.

Could go to Van Express, the two girls there are hawt and pho there is cheap.

And even then, their top seller isnt even the normal Koya franchise menu. Pretty sure the beef brisket soup is something only this location does.

Reminded me again this morning, I used to really like Freshii but the smell coming out of there first thing in the morning as they clean and prep makes me gag and I havent been back since I noticed that. Not sure what it is, but its disgusting.

For sure when I went it did not have that many windows...

Yeah they moved a few years ago. The old place was one building over where the big gold elevators were right underneath where Sonoma was. Was really hard to find. New place is much more visible and also a bit more organized.

Did you get the calzone special? The romanian pizza is my fav there. And I’m not usually a salad guy but make sure I get one there every time because it’s so good. Pro tip, save your salad plate with leftover dressing to dip your pizza/calzone in

Grabbed this combo for lunch
The lineup was pretty long but moved quickly (they're just scooping from trays).
The flavors overall were alright. The fried chicken was a disappointment, it was cold and soggy after the 5 minute indoor walk back to my office... guessing it wasn't crispy to begin with.
Out of the 6-7 people immediately in front or behind me I was the only one who got the large size, which concerned me a bit, but half the bowl was roughly chopped lettuce so I'm not full.
