Torrance, CA: King's Hawaiian Bakery & Restaurant - "Fine Hawaiian Diner "

2009-11-03T08:13:49-08:00

Review of King's Hawaiian Bakery & Restaurant at 2808 Sepulveda Blvd, Torrance, CA 90505-2803

I wouldn’t exactly call King’s Hawaiian a nice restaurant, but it definitely feels nicer than a normal American diner. The front has a bakery that sells the breads and cakes they’re known for (if you’re not familiar, go to a supermarket and look for King’s Hawaii...

Los Angeles, CA: Larchmont Grill - "Homey with a hint of fanciness"

2009-10-21T14:50:51-07:00

Review of Larchmont Grill at 5750 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90038

by justin:

Set in a remodeled home, we felt both at home and underdressed at the same time. I read somewhere it was casual but the fancy table linens and the attire of the rest of the guests made me feel a bit self-concious. However, the staff was super friendly and put any tensions at ease.The ...

Berkeley, CA: Cafe Intermezzo - "Best Salad Ever. Ever since my Berkeley..."

2009-09-13T03:12:37-07:00

Review of Cafe Intermezzo at 2442 Telegraph Ave, Berkeley, CA 94704-2321

by justin:

Best Salad Ever.Ever since my Berkeley days I’ve been searching for a salad place as good as Intermezzo. Nothing’s ever come close. What’s so hard about making a big and tasy salad? Maybe it’s the magical poppy seed dressing.

2009-08-28T13:34:19-07:00

Review of Sandbag's Gourmet Sandwiches at 1134 Westwood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90024-3412

by justin:

Looking for an alternative to Subway, we dropped into Sandbag’s to get some sandwiches to go. As we arrived, they were actually closing early due to an issue with the grill, but the guy offered to reopen to make us some cold sandwiches if we wanted. We got a club and veggie sandwich al...

Los Angeles, CA: The Cheesecake Factory - "can't go wrong"

2009-08-24T15:01:39-07:00

Review of The Cheesecake Factory at 11647 San Vicente Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90049

by justin:

When you can’t decide where to eat and people have differing tastes, you can’t go wrong with cheesecake factory. The weird thing about this location on san vicente is that it never seems crowded. Every other cheesecake I’ve been to always has long waits, but everytime IR...

Monterey Park, CA: Noodle House - "Go for the dumplings, not the noodles"

2009-08-24T11:17:12-07:00

Review of Noodle House at 958 E Garvey Ave, Monterey Park, CA 91755-3045

by justin:

Noodle House is just one of many small eateries in monterey park. We went for their dumpling reputation. The dumplings and steamed buns were definitely fresh and good, but I wouldn’t say they were phenomenal. However, you can’t go wrong for the price (everything is around 6-8 bu...

Review of Tofu Villa (CLOSED) at 2130 Sawtelle Blvd, Ste 112a, Los Angeles, CA 90025-6232

by justin:

Ok, I’m not Korean and I know this place doesn’t have the best soon tofu, but I like coming back here often because it’s good enough, convenient and hits the spot.I like that they have a few seats outside so you don’t have to smell Korean bbq throughout the meal....

Los Angeles, CA: Umami Burger - "Good, but overrated"

2009-08-03T18:08:30-07:00

Review of Umami Burger at 850 S La Brea Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90036-4810

by justin:

I’ve been told by multiple people to check out Umami Burger, so I’ll admit my expectations were pretty high. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but the food wasn’t as fantastic as I thought it would be (I think Father’s Office does a much better burger).Th...

Los Angeles, CA: La Bottega Marino - "Very tasty sandwiches "

2009-08-01T13:01:13-07:00

Review of La Bottega Marino at 203 N Larchmont Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90004-3706

by justin:

Casual Italian place that has takout and delivery. I didn’t get to see it since my wife picked up the food, but the person who answered the phone sounded very pleasant. The sandwiches were great so I’ll definitely go back – always nice to have a place to go for paninis.

Los Angeles, CA: Hu's Szechwan - "Serviceable chinese in west LA"

2009-07-21T00:25:00-07:00

Review of Hu's Szechwan at 10450 National Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90034-4662

by justin:

Ever since I moved to west LA I’ve been looking for a close chinese restaurant so that I wouldn’t have to drive all the way to monterey park. Hu’s is my latest attempt, and while it doesn’t match anything you’ll find on the east-side, it’ll satisfy some bas...
