within five blocks (39th street to 44th street in queens blvd.), there are three Nepalese restaurants to choose from. whoa! that's quite a concentration of Nepalese restaurants. tangra on 39th, hanami on 40th and yeti on 44th. unfortunately, the gloomy sub-text truth these restaurants depicts: Nepalese restaurants cannot stand on their individual authenticity. tangra specilizes in hybridization between Nepalese and Chinese. hanami and yeti specializes in Nepalese food but also has a side Japanese menu as the names suggest. as you enter yeti, you are greeted with a side bar, a perfect place to have a pre-dinner drink while you wait for your always-late friends. and immediately to the left cubile style seating made with beige woods creates an ambience of seclusive exclusivity accentuated by the dim atmosphere. need more seclusion: you can get a vip style japanese private room. three items i order without fail-unfiltered sake, beef sukuti and momos. setting wise, hanami is open, small and shoulder to shoulder. it's relatively new hence nothing really stood out of the menu. spacially, tangra yells grandiose granduar with corinith coloums and exotic woodworks. their sizziling menus, you must simply try one for the sake of the aesthetics of eating with your ears!...
