But I finally found it after failing to find Lawson 100 (like a dollar store, but with groceries, produce and meat, etc) on my phone's google map, even though I was able to use the same address and locate the store on google maps on my laptop a little while earlier.

Just reading Serious Eats's review of fried dumpling holes-in-the-wall places in Chinatown, NYC and seriously wishing Tokyo had a similar website.

And not wished you, too, could pay just a buck for cheap eats. Despite Koko's reservations about the freshness of the food, maybe it's time to visit a 100-yen shop and see what Tokyo has to offer by way of good, cheap eats--if I can only find the damned place.
