I am not a fan of “chinese food from the line” but did you know that China Garden in Corona will cook any dish you want from scratch and customize it any way you want?? Well thy do! And they deliver. I am an asian food snob and I have to say this place never disappoints me…especially for the price. The service there is very friendly as well. They restaurant could use some spucing up, maybe could be a little cleaner but other than that A rating. Try switching it up a little on them…mongolian chicken instead of beef, house fried rice without the veg-all. One of my favorites…curry shrimp!

Fun, old style local place with charm! I am more of an egg breakfast person but I have to say some of the pancake selections turned me! There is one particular dish there that sounds crazy but I encourage you to try. Chili corn pancakes!! One of the craziest things I have ordered! When they brought our order we actually laughed at the size and they way the dish looked…a tall mound of corn cakes smothered in chili, onions, cheese and sour cream. Once we took our first bite our laughter turned into YUM, YUM, YUM!!!!

Quick and delicious. The nan is fresh and hot. Very traditional Indian lunch with a variety of classic vegetarian dishes, curry chicken and of course tandoori chicken. Definitely try this place for lunch to get a sample of all of their great food.

If you love “gourmet” pizza you must try this place! Forget that it is actually healthy and good for your figure…you would never know it while you are eating it! Just great thin crust pizza with creative toppings.

There is just too much to say! I have not been big fan of chains when it comes to Italian restaurants but our dinner at Maggiano’s changed my mind. I am not sure if it was the very personal special day we had planned with my father or what but we were treated like gold, were surrounded by tables and tables of happy people and were spoiled with mounds of delicious food! We did not need more but if we did they would have just kept it coming for no extra charge! The Classic Family Style is the way to go if you have a party of 8 or more…great place for a bunch of friends to enjoy a night out!

I have been to Goodfellas several times for breakfast and lunch and have never been disappointed! The kitchen is open so you can see the cooks (always a bonus) and the food is fresh and hot. The staff is very friendly and accomodating. Great local place with servings big enough to split!!

I have eaten A LOT of sushi and rolls in my life time and it is all pretty much the same. Nothing wrong with that cause I love it but Fish In A Bottle delivers some very unique flavors and combinations. The plates are huge and very fresh. You can even take your “non-sushi” eaters and have them try non traditional rolls such as steak and gorgonzola or chicken cordon blue! There is something for everyone! But…be forwarned! If you are looking for very traditional sashimi and sushi this is not the place for you. Fish In A Bottle is best for a different kind of food experience. You must try the grilled strawberries with balsamic vinager!!

I go to this place for Dim Sum at least once a month and have NEVER been disappointed. The staff remembers us and is sure to bring us all our favorites immediately! There has only been one item so far that I would not order again…fried sushi. It makes no sense to me to take a delicious, fresh California roll and coat in bread crumbs and deep fry it. The variations of dumplings are always fresh and hot. Lo Bak Goh, Har Gau, Cheung Fun and Fun Gor are my favorites there. They also have these football shaped fried buns that are awesome. My son actually really love the chicken feet!!

Of course the dueling pianos are GREAT entertainment (although pricey), but the food is even better! I recommend taking advantage of the Tapas volume discount deal instead of a meal. The deep fried avocados were sooooo good! We ordered seconds! We also had the bacon wrapped scallops, Miso Saki Seabass and as always, the Caprese. Everything was surprisingly delicious! Plan on spending a lot but for a really fun night out or a special occasion or date it is well worth it!

I have been to this local restaurant many times for lunch and dinner and my guest and I have never been disappointed! The salsa is better than most and the carnitas are very good…the owner claims the recipe comes from his mother! Just recently, after a nice long night out, I went for breakfast. I had the shredded beef with eggs and it was surprising light and tasty…not the usual greasy mound of food you would expect in that dish. Just the right amount too! I really enjoyed it. I highly recommend you visit this local restaurant!

Eat and Enjoy!
