Nawab

I ate at Nawab on Monday for lunch with my parents. I had only eaten there once before. This time we all got the buffet. It was really good (both times). Their chicken dishes are excellent and they have good veggies. I just stick to the mild so I can't say anything about spiciness (well, the mild is not too hot at all). Indian food is delicious. Oh yeah this is located in the Big Lots shopping center across from where Miyako and Chez Trinh are. You can totally walk there from campus, and I don't think the buffet is too pricey.

The Cheese Shop

The Cheese Shop is a common favorite of my family, and of W&M students as it is convenient (in CW, market square), and pretty cheap (around $4 for a sandwich). Today I discovered that there's a 10% student discount on Wednesdays for sandwiches! I love my usual cheese sandwich - cheddar and havarti on French with house dressing. You have to try the house dressing. Also Jeff and I love trying the cheese of the day - it's awesome. The shop overall is really cool, it has all kinds of goodies. Definitely somewhere to go, walk there and get some exercise!

Miyako

I decided restaurants would be good to review too! Miyako is a Japanese restaurant in the Williamsburg shopping center. It's near campus (15 minute walk or so). I have eaten here several times and love it. Tuesdays is dollar sushi night (though that's not exactly what it costs), anyway, the sushi's cheap on Tuesdays. And it's delicious! Yesterday we went for Nathan's birthday celebration. I got Philadelphia salmon rolls and a house salad, Jeff got tuna rolls and miso soup. We also tried some squid. Their house salads are amazing; the dressing is a sesame vinegraitte sort of, it's awesome. The Philadelphia salmon rolls were awesome, I didn't really like the squid though. But that's probably just personal taste. The tuna was good too. A great deal there is any of the dinner boxes, they come with lots of food. You get an entree dish, some tempura veggies and shrimp, rice of course, edamame, miso soup, and a salad. I hear the miso's pretty good, I don't like soup but... it has tofu in it which is interesting. Everything I've gotten there is great. The Hwe Du Bop is highly recommended if you like sashimi. Apparently that's a Korean dish. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and very receptive to students.
