2009-02-28T21:16:22-08:00

Review of Citrus at Social at 6525 W Sunset Blvd, Hollywood, CA 90028-7201

Honestly, I was expecting somewhere in the middle of the road. But my selections for dinner were very good, and much better than I had expected.1. Beet and tuna salad: this was excellent. I liked the heavier complex soy sauce used to marinade the tuna, and I always like beets, and th...

This is the former location of Plum Tree Inn, which moved to Broadway.I had a big dinner here recently with my big Cantonese family. This means we ordered a lot of dishes. This was also fairly recent. But I can’t remember any single dish, all I remember is all the mediocrity. A...

Review of Hunan Chili King at 534 E Valley Blvd, San Gabriel, CA 91776-3555

by mh2mh:

They should rename the restaurant to “Dem Bones.” There were so many bones!This place is just ok. We each picked a dish, and none of it was very good. Nothing was really spicy, and nothing had much flavor. The little plate of peanuts and pickled veg that was brought out ...

by mh2mh:

I shoulda had a sit down lunch here back in its heyday, which wasn’t that long ago, when it was bustling busy and full of Argentinians. But would the food have been any better?Today, there was hardly anyone there.Before today, I’ve only had their empanadas and bakery ...

2009-02-15T23:37:38-08:00

Review of The Congee at 19 E Valley Blvd, Alhambra, CA 91801-5115

by mh2mh:

This may not be the best ever, but what I had was good. The pricing is a little bit higher than a place like Sam Woo, but totally on par with Hong Kong cafe places.Service: the one young guy server, the only male server, was bad. But the others were good. And the cashier completely ...

Review of JR Bistro at 750 N Hill St, Los Angeles, CA 90012

by mh2mh:

Came back for a revisit mostly to try their crispy fried chicken. Note: I have eaten Cantonese crispy fried chicken hundreds of times, my family always orders it, which kind of drives me nuts, but which also means I have eaten this dish many many times, and everywhere.The crispy fried...

Review of Bon Marche Bistro at 331 W Garvey Ave, Monterey Park, CA 91754-1604

by mh2mh:

Came back again to try a la carte instead of the pun choi. I prefer a la carte, you get the flavor of each dish, not everything jumbled together. Still lovin’ this village home style food. The dishes are kind of small so you have to order a little more than usual, but they are inexpen...

I was going to check out Noodle House, but then I read some good reviews on Kingburg Kitchen, so I decided to go to there instead.We ended up with two bowls of spicy beef stewed noodle soup and two bowls of chicken noodle soup and 20 fish dumplings. Don’t ask.The spicy bee...

Review of The Association at 110 E 6th St, Los Angeles, CA 90014-2006

by mh2mh:

So after going to the new Cole’s, I had to check out The Association, partially because they took Cole’s back room. Well they must have knocked down all sorts of walls because there is no evidence of that back room. I will have to scope all this out with LA Conservancy, to see if...
