After looking forward to try Ruth’s Chris for months, finally I got to taste their steak tonight. Our party made a reservation at 9pm, Tuesday, which shouldn’t be a busy time. I hoped my chefs could pay more attention to every individual steak. The decor is simple, but comfortable with detail. Dark, but make a nice atmosphere, especially for dinner of nice steak. I love ribeye because it has balance of meat and fat. Usually tender, juicy and easy to handle. Bone-in Ribeye was what I ordered. It came on a sizzling plate. It seasoned with just salt and pepper on melt butter. I think it’s too much butter to a point I felt greasy, together with seasoning, it became a little too salty toward the end. My friend ordered T-bone, generous portion, but he prefer my ribeye because it’s juicier. And my lady friends couldn’t eat that much, so they ordered filet. Looks like they were disappointed, saying it’s a little dry…. Ruth’s Chris’s choices of side dish was pretty boring. Potato, spinach, and something you could find in any regular steakhouse. We ordered dessert too, but already too full to remember how tasty it was. I just know my bread pudding was nice cuz of the flavor of whiskey sauce. Btw, my lady friends received a free dessert. Our waitress felt very sorry that their filet weren’t good. Round up: My part of bill was $70. According to this price, it’s a B+ steak experience. Meat was great, grade is deducted because I think chef put better care on it, especially less butter. This is a good steakhouse, but I believe there must be more can top Ruth’s Chris.

Best ice cream I ever had. Very creamy smooth milky favor. So rich that you want to lick your ice-cream until gone. Lychee, Taro and banana-walnut is must-try. I am thankful that it’s a restaurant run by family, which quality is kept at the top.

One of better sushi restaurant in San Gabriel Valley area. (Hard to find good sushi here) Fish are usually fresh, you can ask owner Yoshi what are the must-try first. Only choose to sit at sushi bar, the sushi chef can serves you better that way. They have popana sushi, you better try that. You don’t often see this at other restaurant. Mirugai (giant clam) is fresh, crunchy and sweet~ dynamite is good too. ($31-40/p)
