From HIBASHI ADDS NEW LUNCH ITEMS

Hibashi, which serves Japanese, Korean and Asianfusion cuisine, has added a bigger bento box to its lunch menu, including beef teriyaki, Atlantic salmon teriyaki, grilled Pacific shrimp, Korean barbecue beef ribs and glazed Chilean seabass.

It all comes with miso soup, the garden salad, tempura and veggies, Japanese gyoza vegetable dumpling and a choice of either a California roll or spicy tuna roll. It costs $12, but based on the amount of food you get, you could easily split the meal, especially if it’s just lunch. —EMILY TOMAN

From RESTAURANT TALK: HIBISCUS

Their Baked Dungeness Crab Dip appetizer is exquisite. The Lobster L’Orange is ambrosial. But their desserts are beyond divine. After indulging in a wonderful meal at Hibiscus, be sure to follow up with the pièce de résistance — dessert. Each of their desserts are large enough for a family of four and are less than $10, which for their size is quite a decent value. I’d recommend sitting in the front room in a deep booth for dessert and drinks with friends after a night out. Hibiscus offers upscale New American cuisine and is located on Knox/Henderson. —CANDANCE THARP

Question Of The Month

It’s hot to trot out there, no? We asked, you answered what’s the best way to stay cool (or at least not insanely overheated) in your neighborhood?

Enjoying an ice cold margarita at Glorias!

—LISA MARIE LOVING

The reason I love Neuhaus is because it’s perhaps the only place I can score a pound of Gummi Bears and a good latte (or a glass of wine, depending on what kind of day it’s been) while knocking out some work on my laptop. And they always play great music, to boot. During a recent visit I heard a 1992 R&B ballad followed by indie rock. It’s also one of the few places in our neighborhood that offers live music regularly.

Turn up the A/C for the day and go visit family, hang at NorthPark, Wal-Mart or (any) other indoor facility.
