Bandar Restaurant

Jul 22, 2007 Link

Flavorful big dishes

Bandar has very generous portions, and two big eaters could not finish a main course and an appetizer. The service was fast and attentive. Food was spiced nicely with pomegranate. The dish we ordered was a stew with tender balls of chicken and fragrant rice. It was a very generous portion. The decor was tasteful, though the music was a eclectic mix of jazz and techno. I would highly recommend this place if you want ethnic food without burning your throat on peppers

What I ate:
  • *****

    Tangy stuffed grape leaves accompanied by yogurt sauce.

Roy's

Jul 10, 2007 Link

Excellent food and Service

From the moment we walked in the fine people at Roy’s were at our service. They gave us water for the flowers that I brought my date, explained things on the menu that we did not understand, and were very attentive to dietary restrictions / allergies. The food was top notch, and the ribs appetizer was better then ribs I find at BBQ joints. They do fish quite well, although my Hamachi was cooked a bit more than it should have been. The numerous raw items on the menu indicate that they are willing to not cook things as well. Portions are also generous, and overall a good value for the price.

What I ate:
  • *****

    Very tender and juicy. Not exactly healthy, but full of flavor.

  • ****

    A subtle horseradish flavor that doesn’t go to the sinuses. This dish is complemented with tabouleh and spinach and was quite good, except for the fish was overcooked for my tates

  • *****

    delicious and generous

Phil's BBQ

Jun 10, 2007 Link

New Location Kicks Ass

The new Phil’s has the same great taste without the wait. Orders can be phoned in, but I went to the new Sports Arena location and they had an imposing line, but after 10 minutes we got to order food and it was ready in another 10 minutes. That beats the normal 1 hour wait that they used to have. The kitchen is about 3 time as big.

More importantly, one member of the party had a food allergy and the manager checked on the ingredients by calling the head chef on his cell phone.

The ribs were delicious and the meat fell off the bones, as well as the corn which was sweet and didn’t need the butter. You normally don’t find corn like that here in San Diego. Probably the best Bar-B-que in SD.

What I ate:
  • *****

    Lots of ribs and some sides. The ribs are great, meat falls off the bones.

  • *****

    Excellent pulled pork sandwhich topped with coleslaw.

Fuddruckers

Jun 6, 2007 Link

A big tasty burger

Fuddruckers gets burgers right, with flavorful meat, lots of it, and good combinations. You can choose burgers from 1/3 lb to 1 lb, and turkey or buffalo if it is your fancy. There’s a toppings bar where you can choose shredded or whole leafe lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, red or white onions, and add sauces. You can get burger toppings too like mushrooms, avocado, and or bacon for a bit extra but the price is reasonable. The fries weren’t that good, I was not a fan of the seasoning as it took away from the wholesome potato flavor that they should have had. The onion rings are good though. The place has a lot of eclectic junk around, and they must have a full staff at corporate that goes to swap-meets in the South to pick up furnishings like old gas pumps and WWII posters. It appears to be a teenage hangout spot for Mira Mesa. Service was good and they have good cookies for desert.

What I ate:
  • *****

    Delicious meat with sauteed mushrooms and american cheese.

  • ***

    Not that great, seasoning was wrong for them. Could have used some ranch dipping sauce.

Peking Palace

May 12, 2007 Link

Good chinese food -- always half-full

You won’t need reservations to experience this brand of reasonable chinese food. The place is huge. Service is good, and the food has good flavor. It’s not the best, but it always makes for a good evening.

What I ate:
  • *****

    Delicious and not overcooked chicken with juicy vegetables

  • *****

    Tofu done well with shitake mushrooms. Tasty sauce

  • ****

    Good stuff, not as good as the mandarin inn, but close.

  • ***

    flavorful but not spicy enough

Kemo Sabe Restaurant

Apr 23, 2007 Link

Asian Fusion Food with a lot of Style

The food is fantastic, the chef clearly went through trouble to find fine flavor combinations, and then they pile on twice as much food as you would expect. With that in mind, the price is really quite reasonable. The restaurant was a bit dark, but there was still enough light to see the food which was magnificently presented. Service was very attentive, and leave room for desert for it is truly delicious. Reservations are recommended, especially on Saturday.

Carlsbad Brewery-Pizza Port

Mar 31, 2007 Link

Best Pizza Experience

Pizza-Port is appointed with benches to eat rather than tables, and it adds to a lively social atmosphere. The pizza there is fantastic, well apportioned with toppings and cheese and good sauce. There is just the right amount of crust. I would classify it as “California” style pizza because it has the toppings of Chicago, and not too much crust like NY. They also brew excellent beer. The pizza takes a while, but one can sit down at the benches and start chatting with whoever happens to be around you and it becomes a way to meet other pizza minded individuals. Prices aren’t bad when you consider how much you get. They also have salads.

Samurai Sam's Teriyaki Grill

Mar 31, 2007 Link

Good teriyaki at a good price

I think this place is better than Flame Broiler because it it cheaper, and they give you more vegetables and a bigger bowl so it doesn’t spill when you mix the food around. The meat appears to be of similar quality to other places and they are pretty fast. The mall that they are in takes longer to get there than it should from UCSD.

What I ate:
  • ****

    A good portion of chicken, green vegetables, and rice.

Porkyland Restaurant

Mar 31, 2007 Link

Good taste, grease everywhere

This place has very tasty mexican at rock bottom prices. They use a good array of spices, except I think the chicken burrito is a bit tasteless. If it wasn’t for coating one’s intestines with grease, this place would get 5 stars. The jumbo burrito’s are huge, but beware of Porky’s Revenge.

What I ate:
  • ****

    Tasty on the way in, but tends to make an early exit.

  • **

    Needs some spices and beans to feel complete

  • ****

    Delicious “well-done” beef with some guac and spices. Tends to leak all over the lap.

  • ***

    Pretty standard carnitas. Go with Al pastor, it’s just better.

  • **

    Their chips aren’t that good to it kind of ruins this dish.

Eat-A-Pita Sandwich & Ice CRM

Mar 29, 2007 Link

Lack of taste here

I wasn’t expecting much, but after trolling the blocks for a place for pizza by the slice we ended up here because it was the only non-chain. The menu was too big and the combinations were somewhat odd. I don’t understand why you would put stir-fry in a pita, but it was way too oily. And the cajun one was loaded with chili oil. Replace the pita with a tortilla, and the sausage with carne asada and it would have made an acceptable burrito. I ususally like spicy, but that was ridiculous. It was accompanied with “greek” rice that was somewhat dehydrated. This reviewer recommens going to the quizno’s across the street the next time hunger strikes.
