I absolutely love this place. It is the epitome of comfort food.

Awesome kimchi, seafood pancake. Really, anything you get is super fresh, tasty and overall - soothing for the soul.

  Update - 9/26/2010

I have had Caplansky's meatness a few more times, and feel that perhaps we got off to a wrong start.

I can see what all the fuss is about!

Great spot for brunch.  Service is amazing, cute and cozy interior, and a great location.  I love restaurants on a corner - all that extra light!

Oh man, I covet the veal sandwich.  California Sandwiches never disappoints in providing me, hands down, the best veal on a bun I have ever had.  

The mammoth of a sandwich is best consumed when you have not eaten anything all day.  You really do need…More »
