I went to the one in Hong Kong and had a great lunch for about US$8.</p> <p>One of the more interesting temples I've seen is in Tokyo Japan though. It looks like a large onyx block on top of a short pillar. The offices and such are in the cube and the temple is underground. Not sure if it's on street maps or not though.</p> While I was in the navy, I visited a lot of lodges and temples. I went to the one in Hong Kong and had a great lunch for about US$8.
