The first time we ate at Singapore Express was not a good experience. Because we lived very close to the restaurant, a few months later I decided to give them another chance. And since then, I’ve been ordering from them occasionally.

The people working there are very friendly and sweet. The food there is generally good.

I’ve been wanting to eat here for over a year. Things just kept coming up and finally this past Saturday I ate there. OMG, what an idiot I was for not trying this sooner. Simply good bbq.

We had the Memphis Queen which is 1/2 baby ribs and 1/2 Memphis ribs, Mac N’ Cheese (not your regular kind), Blues on the Cob (not your regular kind either), Carolina-Style Pulled Pork Sandwich and Key Lime Pie.

We ordered for delivery. The food and service was great. Mind you, I haven’t eaten at so many bbq places, but I can honestly say you won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait to eat there again.

There are not many choices as Vietnamese restaurants go in the West Side and having Le Saigon here is great when you have a craving for Vietnamese food.

They have a select menu of dishes. The prices are average and the food is fresh and good.

We had the Bun Thit-Tom Nuong (Rice Vermicelli with Beef), Nem Nuong (Rice Paper, assorted herbs, and Lettuce, Charbroiled Sliced Pork, Shrimp skewer), Cha Gio (Imperial Rolls) and finished it off with Café Sua Da (Hot Coffee with Condense Milk).

Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. I would say the taste of the food was good, not great. The service was great. Our waiter was very friendly and efficient.

We will definitely come back.

A friend of ours told us about this place a while ago and last night we finally tried it. We decided to sit by the bar to see what the sushi chef would create for us.

We had the halibut, mackerel and shrimp sushis, fried shrimp heads, caterpillar roll, shrimp tempura and a shot glass (concoction of oysters, radishes, a raw quail egg, hot sauce and other stuff…a special request from my husband to the chef). I also had a cold sake and my husband had a Japanese beer.

Everything was fresh and tasty. The tempura batter was crispy and light. It’s a definite neighborhood joint for simple and good Japanese food.

We’re definitely coming by again.

We went on a Monday. You would think it wouldn’t be so busy and even with our reservation, we had to wait. Saw some B celebrities there.

The place has a hip ambiance. Lots of people chatting and laughing, while the sushi chefs are all busy creating art at the bar. One of my favorite places to sit in a sushi restaurant is by the bar.

We had a bunch different things, different sushis, Robert roll, soft shell crabs, raw shrimp, seared scallop with fois gras, green tea tiramisu and of course sake.

Everything was really yummy. The presentation was pretty and clean. It’s not the best sushi I’ve had, but really good.

For the four of us, the total bill was exactly $200. We’ll definitely come again.

I found this place a bit over priced for their crepes. It wasn’t anything special. Their coffee tasted better. The service was good.

It was one of those rainy days and we saw that Johnny Rockets was open and had a breakfast menu.

The menu was simple. Only a number typical breakfast items. We had bacon, eggs, breakfast potatoes, toast and coffee. It was simple and good. How can you screw up bacon and eggs?

A couple of other occasions, we had lunch there. You know burger and fries. It was good. My sister loves their milkshakes, especially their peanut butter and chocolate one.

Service is good and cute 50’s diner atmosphere.
