Yasu

Have you ever eaten at some place where you're just thinking, what the fuck is this thing on my plate?  Well, welcome to Yasu!  Walking into this place I thought I was in some kind of Indiana Jones meets the Rainforest Cafe set, it was freaky.  On top of that they had some Itunes soundtrack looping of covered James Bond themes, so it was a strange atmosphere but in the end a pretty good time.  Right up the Beacon Street past Coolidge Corner you'll find this place, the low lighting makes this Japanese Korean "BBQ" seem pretty scary but its cool once you step in.  I remember ordering the chef's lunch box, thinking I was going to get some Jackie Chan inspired tin box with a Pokemon thermos, instead I got this:

I guess lunchbox just means they divide the foods up for you. And the chef's lunchbox means its basically whatever the fuck he wants to make is what you're gonna eat.  So here I am, knowing some strange korean chef made some random stuff and threw it in a box for me to eat. What is this??? I've got some salad, some Cali rolls up there in the corner to complement the monolithic rice baseball, some bloody potato shish kabob in the lower left some strange meat thing in the middle and bbq chicken on the right. And to top it all off, CHOPSTICKS.  Great! I've never eaten with chopsticks before, How am I supposed to eat this strange shit without a fork? I thought this was America! Anyways, I found out that when you're really hungry and you've got no fork in sight you learn to use chopsticks real fucking fast. Frankly, I don't remember all of these different foods in much detail besides for they were damn tasty.  Everything tasted incredible and new in some way.  Before this they even had small Korean style appetizers that included eight small dished of kim chi, seaweed and a bunch of other things.  All in all if you're up for some crazy new and intimidating food, you'll have about twelve different things to choose from if you grab a lunchbox from Yasu.
