In the mood for Chinese? Japanese? Burgers? If you answered "all three", you're in luck. Mukutan Ninja Charcoal Grill & Izakaya blends these into one culinary experience. I stopped by for lunch with a friend recently. Neither of us had been there before, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect.

I'm not sure why, either we Lafayette/West Lafayette residents aren't big Cajun aficionados or else the restaurants just weren't very good. Either way, I hope this one sticks around awhile. The location is in Pavillion's mall, right next to the Camille's … [Read more...]
