It's fun to get lost in the large, popular Japanese superstore gazing at burdock root, daikon, other-worldy looking mushrooms, sukiyaki or shabu-shabu meats plus Japanese comic books, kitchen utensils and cosmetics. But it won't be long until you're inching toward the food hall for steamy bowls of ramen and udon noodles; tempura; Korean bibimbop and bulgogi; sushi and bento boxes; crepes and boba. Stop in Pastry House Hippo for cakes, buns and breads and browse the cooler for maki to go. The matcha soft serve at reLeaf Cafe is dreamy but do try the black sesame ice cream for something a little different.

- Food Halls: "Weekends get slammed with shoppers so you may have to stalk tables to get a seat to slurp your ramen."
- Best for Food Halls Because: For a boatload of authentic Japanese fast-casual food, Mitsuwa's food hall can't be beat.
