Honestly, I'm just pissed that a hot dog place within walking distance of UCI wasn't here when I was around. Considering how much I love hot dogs and such, maybe it's a good thing!

The staff is super friendly (especially one of the cashiers), and the…More »

UC Irvine students, if you've got a car or can have someone taxi you here, then TRY THIS PLACE OUT by ANY means necessary!

SOOO GOODDDDD

Came here for the first time in the summer, and can honestly still taste the roast beef, au jus, lemonade, iced tea, potato salad, and of course... that evil, evil, evil spicy mustard.

To call it spicy mustard is just an understatement.…More »

This is the kind of pizza that other pizzas DREAM of being!  Amazingly thin dough, without being too soggy, or too crispy.  Delicious toppings, and was super, duper fresh.

Eatalian is HUGE!  The pictures don't do it justice, so when you walk in,…More »

If you look at the line and think to yourself (or friends), "Awww man, this is gonna take FOREVER!" Then friend(s), you are sadly, sadly mistaken.

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee finitely came here on the wrong night when I first tried out this bad boy. The night I came was when USC was into their 1st or 2nd week of their fall semester, and rush week was happening. Did I know at that moment?…More »

Awesome burgers.  They look like Krabby Patties from Spongebob.

On this particular trip, I had the Hatch Burger with tempura onion rings and was NOT disappointed!  Burger is cooked to a beautiful medium rare, and packs a hot beef injection of flavor…More »

  Update - 4/16/2011

I can't get over their teriyaki sauce.  Is it mostly honey or what?  Maybe it's extracted from Godzilla fat.  Yeah.  It must be that.  Can I get a gallon of teriyaki sauce as a reward for figuring it out?

Anyway, an updated review, but this time for…More »

Super underrated pizza place located in the UTC.

This place doesn't get as much traffic simply because of it's awkward location.  I wish this place replaced Arriba! so it would get more traffic.

The pizza here is big, thin, and full of flavor.  Ray is…More »

The list name says it all, no?

Japanese Food! (23)

Some of the best and worst Japanese places I've been to. I'm slowwwwly moving away from ramen, but it's hard to deviate when you know where to find a delicious, piping-hot bowl of noodles! Share my joy, or suffer with me!

DO NOT VISIT (6)

Places that leave such a bad taste in my mouth that I'll never visit again. Never been? Curious? Maybe I'll sway your decision, maybe I won't. Either way, take a look and see if any of your new destinations end up in this list.

MUST Eat? We'll See... (11)

This isn't your average "OH MY GOOODDDDD, YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE OUT" type of list.  This, instead, is a list of my reviews on THOSE places that people have raved on about.  It's a list of the "institutional" places to eat in certain cities.  A list of the places where people have told you, "Hey, you've GOT TO COME HERE".  Read on if you'd like!  Just my opinions here, so I'm sorry if I'm hating on your favorite restaurant!

A magical quest into the unknown ice cream kingdoms across the nation. Join my journey as I seek the ULTIMATE ICE CREAM PLACE!
