Ginger Bistro

Remember the Blockbuster video store in the Loop? Well, it's gone. Ginger Bistro takes its place, "infusing French and North American culinary techniques with time proven recipes from China, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan and other parts of the Pan Pacific region." In Blockbuster terms, that's combining the Foreign Films section with the Action and Drama, then putting the whole thing in New Releases. Let's just hope the combination doesn't also dabble in Horror.

BBC Asian Cafe & Bar (Banh Mi Boba Tea and Creperie)

As Banh Mi Boba, this place had a huge following of enthusiastic eaters. They've renovated and made some changes recently and it's time for us to check this place out. The menu appears to have all manner of crepes, subs, salads, and even gyros.

Bobo Noodle House

We will be going out for noodles! Bobo is a new restaurant from St. Louis restaurant veteran Zoe Robinson and it offers Pan-Asian noodles. Zoe's tried to use as many environmentally-friendly building materials and fixtures as possible. Reviews so far have been positive, and we're going to go check it out for ourselves.
