With all of the eateries in the Pheonix/Scottdale area, NOCA by far, stands up above the crowd.

Mikuni's tries to be as authentic as one can possibly expect located in the "Sac" area. The menu, or the taste/type of sushi covers all ground; not only the "true" sushi, but the "psuedo" sushi as well. The bar is great (most bars are). If I had to…More »
11. Loft Hawaiian Restaurant
Yep; the newest Loft. Food and service terrific. I think the food at the Artesia location is better than the Hawthorne location. The restaurant is small but cozy. If I'm not mistaken, there is a back area for larger groups. Something worth…More »

Beverly Hills, CA 90210

ok Sprinkles! You've done it again!. Worth the price, the hassle with parking, the waiting line.... Carrot cake and red velvet cake are still my favorite. Don't leave the cupcakes in your car for long or the frosting may melt :(

30. The New York Deli
Best deli in the South Bay. I had the pastrami sandwich with cole slaw. The slaw is great. The sandwich had to be at least 1"- 1 1/2" thick. Bread was fresh... I thought I was eating a pastrami sandwich from Carnagie Deli in NYC.
The NYD#2 is either…More »

Tacos- they use ground beef and ground pork. Tasty and moist. I usually order a "to go" because it's always crowded. Faster to get your food and go to a close park or something.

Great steaks! a place you can stop in for protein and a couple glasses of wine.
You'd pass it unless you were purposely looking for it.
Would I go again? Yep.
37. Apache Gold Casino
Giving 2 stars rather than 1 as I compare it to other "indian reservation" casinos. Typical casino, small. game machines, 3 blackjack tables and that's pretty much it for the casino.
The Apache Grill and The Apache Buffet? Yikes! Returned my "medium…More »
