The Grand Opening Of Togyushi

A definite new hotspot to know, Togyushi brings Japanese grilling to life right in Midtown. During their recent event, they put on quite the show with their straw-fired grill—a mesmerizing display that gave the wagyu the perfect hint of smokiness. Paired with creative cocktails and a lively, stylish ambiance, it was such a fun preview of what this spot has to offer. I’m definitely interested in coming back for a proper dine to explore more of the menu.

Tried The Viral Honey Butter Pancake

Mini Honey Butter Pancakes

I got to try the viral Honey Butter Pancakes from Golden diner but even better. They have mini versions at their new location Golden Hof, offering up exceptional dishes. Some favorites were the Korean Fried Chicken Wings and the Buldak dumplings. You also can’t go wrong with their meat options for Korean BBQ. Overall the Honey Butter pancakes did not disappoint. They are exactly what they sound like – the perfect marriage of butter and subtly sweet honey and the perfect fluffiness. Absolutely delicious I would be back at Golden Hof for sure.
