La Jolla, CA: Trattoria Acqua - "Shoreside Italian"

2008-11-15T11:57:13-08:00

Review of Trattoria Acqua at 1298 Prospect St, La Jolla, CA 92037-3632

Trattoria Acqua is a top 10 eating destination according to USA Today (as it says on its site). That claim, with the recommendation of a friend too, set the bar of expectation higher than a normal restaurant. We found the atmosphere to be quite classy, which is alway...

La Jolla, CA: Daphne's Greek Cafe - "Decent, fast Greek food"

2008-10-05T16:14:46-07:00

Review of Daphne's Greek Cafe at 8657 Villa La Jolla Dr, La Jolla, CA 92037-2356

by turtley:

Daphne’s a fast food Greek restaurant chain. It has pretty average food, but its a nice change from eating burritos everyday. The wait for the food, after ordering, is usually only like 5 minutes.

San Diego, CA: Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot & Grill - "Unique Hot Pot Experience"

2008-09-25T08:36:58-07:00

Review of Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot & Grill at 4718 Clairemont Mesa Blvd, San Diego, CA 92117-2006

by turtley:

Little Sheep Hot Pot offers a different brand of eating hot pot: mongolian style. Instead of just having a big ol’ pot of piping hot water which you throw water in, the pot is split into two halves: a spicy side and a non-spicy side. Each side is filled with herbs and spices, which is wh...

San Diego, CA: Corvette Diner - "This place is crazy!"

2008-09-17T19:32:09-07:00

Review of Corvette Diner at 3946 N 5th Ave, San Diego, CA 92103-3112

by turtley:

So the Corvette Diner is a 50s or 60s themed diner, featuring, upon entrance, a nice corvette. It has continuous oldies music playing, and you can request songs. The waiters/waitresses are all RIDICULOUSLY nice and dressed up in fun costumes. They also go dance at ran...

San Diego, CA: Crab Hut - "A fun time cracking open some crustaceans"

2008-09-15T11:58:14-07:00

Review of Crab Hut at 4646 Convoy St, San Diego, CA 92111-2310

by turtley:

I decided to hang out with some friends and we were having some trouble deciding on a restaurant. While driving around, we noted how whenever we went to Yogurtland, we would see the places nearby but never actually ate at any of them. Incidentally, one friend happened to try Crab Hut once, and...

Aliso Viejo, CA: Original Pancake House - "Food that doesn't fall flat"

2008-09-01T21:05:10-07:00

Review of Original Pancake House at 27601 Moulton Pkwy, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656-3600

by turtley:

There aren’t too many OPHs in a given locality, but that doesn’t stop people from going to them. There is almost guaranteed to be a wait if you go in the late morning or lunch-time, especially on a weekend. Nonetheless, it is so worth the wait, since the food is amazing and the ser...

Los Angeles, CA: Chosun Galbee Restaurant - "Good Korean BBQ"

2008-08-27T10:21:42-07:00

Review of Chosun Galbee Restaurant at 3330 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90019

by turtley:

The BBQ here was very good, especially the Kalbi (or galbee), which was juicy and tender. The pajeon is a MUST; it is way better than many others that I’ve tried. If this restaurant was near where I lived, I’d probably just order ...

La Jolla, CA: Elijah's Restaurant - "Nice Relaxing Meal"

2008-06-12T11:55:03-07:00

Review of Elijah's Restaurant at 8661 Villa La Jolla Dr, La Jolla, CA 92037

by turtley:

Elijah’s Restaurant is hidden behind some other stores and restaurants in the Whole Foods/TGIF plaza on Villa La Jolla Drive and Nobel Drive. It is a little hard to find, but it makes for a nice, casual meal. It offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner items, as well...

San Diego, CA: Pungabi Tandoor - "Great Take-out Indian Food"

2008-06-10T09:56:51-07:00

Review of Pungabi Tandoor at 9235 Activity Rd, San Diego, CA 92126-4440

by turtley:

To celebrate the completion of two finals, we took the suggestion of a friend and ate at Pangabi Tandoor. It is a very small Indian restaurant in the middle of a bunch of companies, but that doesn’t hurt the food quality one bit. Despite the fact that its a bit out of the way for student...

San Diego, CA: Cafe Japengo - "Japeeeengo "

2007-10-10T20:47:25-07:00

Review of Cafe Japengo at 8960 University Center Ln, San Diego, CA 92122-1085

by turtley:

Cafe Japengo is a pretty deceiving name. Its not really a cafe, and what kind of food would a place called Japengo serve? Well Japengu seems like a fusion of words, and thats what food is serves! Asian fusion, with a focus on Japanese. While I can’t pretend to know what “engo”...
