For Bay Area folks looking for a type of authentic Japanese food, search for the local izakayas:

Izakaya: An izakaya (居酒屋, izakaya?) is a type of Japanese drinking establishment which also serves food to accompany the drinks. The food is usually more substantial than that offered in other types of drinking establishments in Japan such as bars or snack bars.
The name "izakaya" is a compound word consisting of "i " (to remain) and "sakaya" (sake shop), showing that izakaya originate from sake shops which allowed customers to remain on the premises to drink.
Izakaya are sometimes called Akachōchin (red lantern) in daily conversation, because these paper lanterns are traditionally found in front of an izaakaya.
They are popular, casual and relatively cheap places for after-work drinking.

Bay Area izakayas
Here's a selection of some of the Bay Area's izakayas.
Gochi Japanese Fusion Tapas. 19980 Homestead Road (at North Blaney Avenue), Cupertino; (408) 725-0542.
Traditional tatami mat decor and a modern menu make this an excellent family friendly find. Ask for a carpaccio if the chef has time and bluefin toro steak (occasional special) if it's available. Potato gratin with fish roe is an interesting East/West creation.
Tip: Call ahead if you want omakase (chef's choice) at a price you choose from $30 and up. You leave your shoes at the door, so wear nice socks.
Hoshi. 246 Saratoga Ave., (in Pruneridge Shopping Center), Santa Clara; (408) 554-7100
Hoshi could easily be on a side street in Tokyo, so true to the tradition and appearance of izakaya that the only thing missing is the red lantern. The menu is written in Kanji on white strips that cover the walls and window. With more than 150 items to choose from, let the chef be your guide with an otsumami omakase of four or six plates. Come thirsty, since there's an extensive selection of sake and shochu.
Tip: The chef is one of a select few licensed to prepare blowfish in the Bay Area when it's in season, usually starting around the end of November.
Izakaya Mai. 212 Second Ave. (near Ellsworth), San Mateo; (650) 347-2511.
This tiny, bright spot is generally packed and rocking, with a miniature train running on tracks above diners' heads and walls plastered with customers' photos. The menu - it's illustrated, which is helpful - is extensive, with sushi, both grilled and fried items, and ramen, along with combination dinners. Ankimo, miso eggplant and pork, and grilled hamachi kama are worth ordering.
Tip: The kitchen stays open until 11:30 p.m., and serves until midnight - a rarity on the mid-Peninsula.
Nami Nami. 240 Castro St. (near Villa Street), Mountain View; (650) 964-6990
Nami Nami, which opened in January, delivers a sophisticated take on the izakaya ideal. Modernist decor with zen influences and soft lighting and music make a great date destination. The kakuni, pork steamed in soy sauce, is a highlight.
Tip: The restaurant will make many dishes in half-order size, a great way to stretch your sampling. Save dessert for gelato across the street.
Nihon Whiskey Lounge. 1779 Folsom St. (at 14th Street), San Francisco; (415) 552-4400.
While a Westernized hip restaurant with a DJ and bar-to-ceiling bottles of Scotch may not be true to the letter of izakaya, this spot is absolutely true to the spirit. There's an impressive list of single malt whiskeys. Try the signature Nihon, a tempura roll of seared wahoo and tuna, and the hamachi-stuffed shiitakes.
Tip: Stretch your dining dollars with half-price appetizer happy hour from 6-7 p.m. Mon.-Sat.
Oyaji. 3123 Clement St. (near 32nd Avenue), San Francisco; (415) 379-3604
The name is Japanese for "dad," and the chef-owner Hideki Makiyama is quite capable of acting like one with his patrons. A classic neighborhood-style izakaya, the restaurant is dominated by a full sushi bar, "because this is the USA," says Hideki. Sea snail in the shell makes an interesting snack. Salty deep-fried skate wing (eihire karaage) is a natural with one of a dozen sakes offered by the glass.
Tip: Don't miss the off-menu hamachi kama (fish collar) a rich, butter soft and delicious treat. Only two per day are available.
Saizo. 592 E. El Camino Real, (at East Remington Drive); Sunnyvale; (408) 733-7423
True to izakaya's long tradition of value, Saizo offers 41 menu items for $3 or less and an extensive menu beyond. This place is skewer city, from yakatoris to deep-fried quail eggs, so build your own tasting menu with a variety of grilled and deep-fried choices. "Fat means flavor" converts shouldn't pass up a few skewers of butabara (pork belly).
Tip: Try one of two sake flights for a fun varietal tasting and pairing experience.
Tanto. 1306 Saratoga Ave. (at Payne), San Jose; (408) 249-6020
A classic spot with an extensive menu, including 45 specials and a variety of shochus and sakes. In true izakaya style, most dishes are appropriate to share; even soups come with a serving spoon and bowls for sharing. Cioppino fans will like the asari ramen (noodle soup with little neck clams). Small sushi bar.
Tip: The tables at this little spot hidden at the end of a strip mall fill up quickly so arrive early or make a reservation

An izakaya menu
In my tour of Bay Area izakayas, I found many traditional favorites. Here's a sampling:
Agedashi tofu. Deep-fried tofu is on virtually every menu, and anything can take tofu's place and often does. I liked Nami Nami's Agedashi Fig.
Ankimo. Steamed monkfish liver, typically served with ponzu sauce and grated daikon - Japanese foie gras lite.
Asari no sakamushi. Sake-steamed clams. A nice twist on steamers; the broth makes the dish.
Buta no kakuni. Steamed or braised pork belly that's unctuous and delicious; I judge an izakaya by how good theirs is.
Chikuzen ni. A dish of chicken and vegetables simmered in soy sauce. Vegetables, typically root, vary with the season.
Ebi shinjyo. Deep-fried shrimp balls. An interesting alternative to the ubiquitous rice ball.
Geso kara age. Squid legs, deep or pan-fried, breaded or not. Chewier and meatier than calamari.
Hamachi kama. Grilled yellowtail "collar."
Kabutoni. Braised fish head. Various heads are offered and are creatively presented.
Kakiage. Mixed, but not standard, tempura. When fresh corn hits the farm stands, shrimp and corn kakiage dumplings hit the specials.
Karaage. Karaage is any deep-fried meat in a salty batter. Eihire (stingray or skate wing) is a pleasant departure from fried chicken.
Mozuku. Sometimes called slimy seaweed and typically served in vinegar sauce. Don't expect your typical sushi-style seaweed salad.
Nitsuke. Fish, typically flat fish such as sand dabs or flounder, broiled with soy sauce, mirin and sugar.
Saba. Mackerel (saba) shows up in many forms, such as salt roasted, and dried and salted. Oily texture and abundant bones can make these dishes a tough sell.
Shiokara. The innards of various sea creatures pickled or otherwise fermented. Not for the faint of palate. Generally a real salt bomb.
Yaki onigiri. Although called rice balls, these are generally thick triangles of pressed rice, stuffed with fillings like umeboshi (pickled plum), bonito flakes, salmon or salmon roe, and then grilled.

I like the idea of this thread, but to facilitate navigation through it, it should be categorized according to region, such as country and state/province, or at least food type.
The OP either can't be bothered or doesn't want to organize this topic properly so it's easier to find your way around.
This one is updated and organized. *cough*
(Only for one capital city though).

I heart Chipotle. I had it for dinner last night. Their steak burrito with rice, black bean, sour cream, guacamole, corn salsa, lettuce, cheese, and pico de gallo is yummy! It takes me a while to finish their burrito because it's so huge. But I do get the job done.

I do love the local places dork!
But after awhile, those taquerias' food gets too greasy. Chipotle is delicious and their ingredients are organic. Hmm which one should I feed my unborn unchild. Organic ingredients or Yummy grease. Organic ingredients win this time. But for anyone who lives in Houston, my favorite local taquerias is Taquerias Arandas. The food is delicious. Their enchilads is so good. But the service needs some help.
But for the very best authentic Mexican food comes from the little homey restaurants.

Their pollo arrosto is sooo good. If you go to Grotto, make sure to order the meatballs as appetizers.

aw man Chipotle! I had some "Dessert Moon" mexican food and it does not compare to the deliciousness of Chipotle!
my recommendations I've been meaning to put up:
Italiano food:
TONY'S DI NAPOLI
http://www.menupages.com/restaurants.asp?h...earch=di+napoli
They have a location on the upper east side and one midtown. The black linguine IS TO DIE FOR !! Love family style Italian food as opposed to the touristy crap they serve in Little Italy or uppity expensive ones all over Manhattan.
Sushi:
TENZAN
http://www.menupages.com/restaurants.asp?h...erSearch=tenzan
The original opened in Brooklyn, they have 3 add'l locations in Manhattan. Amongst the many 50% gimmicky sushi joints, this place never offers such a deal (yet it isn't snooty or pricey) but is always packed. They have all the elements of a good sushi place.

Killen's Steakhouse
2804 South Main
Pearland, Texas 77581
Restaurant: 281-485-0844
http://www.killenssteakhouse.com/Content-P...?iID=-497966760
Basically, it's a little outside of Houston. I'm a big fan of steaks and I have to say, this place served the best steaks I've ever eaten. It was so good, we didn't even need steak sauce. If going there, I reccommend their kobe steaks. The bf and I really like this place alot. Don't let the outside appearance fool you, this place is very upscale. We found out the wrong way
The only negative about this restaurant is the price. Just for 2 people including tip was $300

The only negative about this restaurant is the price. Just for 2 people including tip was $300 OH MY WORD, I'VE BEEN THERE!!! On a business trip - the company paid for it. My boss was like, "you have to go try this place - and we are going to pay for it just so you can know." I have to admit, it was the best steak I've ever had, though I can't imagine ever spending my own money on it, lol.

recently ive been exploring my city (moved here a year ago), WICHITA, and i found
a Korean restaurant, i think its the only one in all of WICHITA...
MANNA WOK'S ORIENTAL AND KOREAN RESTAURANT
*website | none
*location | 4865 E Harry St Wichita, KS 67218
*brief history | Mom and Pop restaurant, the wife is at the front takes orders and serves, while the husband is in the back cooking...
*appropriate attire that should be worn | Casual
*Price range | everything is under $10
*what you ate | Jjajangmyun, steamed mandu buns, kimchi, fried rice, salad... guava and mango juice...
*the specialties the restaurant offers | Bul go kee (i dont know why i just didnt eat that!)
*the business hours, the phone number | Mon-Sat: 11:00-8:30, 316-684-5512
*state whether or not you would dine there again and any other information that you feel others should know
HELL TO THE YES!!!!!! it was very good, the restaurant is small but its not an issue, they have a whole array of food in their
menu and its all under 10 bucks which is awesome, i wanted to try so many things but i couldnt!!! i love the store because
its not fancy at all, it looks like the inside of someones house and the walls are covered in pictures of customer, the
people that run the restaurant are very nice too! dine in or carry out...
