All You Can Eat Korean BBQ - WHAT WHAT!

Granted, this is the first AYCE Korean barbecue joint I've ever gone to, so my experience is limited. But for $16.99, I'm impressed. For the most part, the food is great. The banchan is plentiful and flavorful.…More »

I wish I could pack this place up in my suitcase and bring it with me back to Toronto, because it's the kind of place I'd make my second home. The food is great, the drinks are delicious, the board games are plentiful and the service is great.

Serious yum! Great place for a convenient and casual meal that's cheap and, above all else, DELICIOUS. My mother, husband and I strolled in on a chilly and stormy evening, and were warmly welcomed by the people inside.

We started with the veggie…More »

This review is solely for the drinks; I didn't have any of the food.

Came in on Christmas night after a huge dinner in K-town -- we needed something sweet, and everywhere else we tried to visit was closed. We popped into Tea Bar Starry out of the…More »

CANDY CANDY CANDY CANDY CANDY! I love this place. Such a giant selection of hard to find sodas (Vernors Ginger Ale, and Dog n' Suds Root Beer!) and random candy -- UK Cadbury (hello, Turkish Delight) and weird stuff like fingerless gloves that look…More »

Yeaaah, son. Dim sum!

I've come here for regular dinner before and the food is just okay, but the dim sum is definitely among the best in the area. Of course, you have your dim sum staples: shu mai (very good), egg custard, chicken feet, chinese…More »

I love Nubi! Personally, I'm on Team Nubi in the Nubi vs. Yogurtland wars. My taste leans toward the sweet (rather than tart) on the FroYo spectrum, so I prefer Nubi's selection of toppings and flavors. Plus, Nubi has marshmallow fluff in a squeeze…More »

The name of this place, Toe Bang, is basically reason enough to come to this bar. There's also the delicious soju, the superquick service, the fact that you can smoke on the patio, the 10% Yelp check-in discount, and the free WiFi... those are all…More »

When I found myself standing outside Daikokuya, waiting 40+ minutes for a table in this tiny restaurant, I was not, shall we say, in the most hospitable of mindsets. I arrived in L.A. less than 24 hours after final exams were over. I'd had far too…More »

I may never go to a dim sum place with carts ever again. Why settle for soggy greens or waiting in vain for the siu mai lady to come when you can just check the boxes of all the goodies you want, and then have your choices brought to your table…More »

The Nano Cafe is a teeny-tiny, cozy n' cute little diner in Monrovia that serves up eggs, pancackes and charm in large portions. I had the Huevos Rancheros, while my husband had the Huevos Rancheros Supreme -- basically the same thing with the…More »

The interior of the Black Boar reminds me a little of the Bigfoot Lodge -- dark and woody, but without the animatronic bears. (Really, though, ALL bars should have animatronic bears!)

That said, we were a little wary of coming to this bar based on…More »
