Maxim Cafe oh YEAH! If you were expecting a restaurant similar to Hooters, but with Maxim Magazine models, sorry to disappoint you. Although, that would be an awesome theme for a restaurant. If you are looking for cheap lunch/ dinner items ranging…More »

Aw Yeah GETAWAY!!!! For the locals it's pronounced "Ghetto-way Cafe". I don't know where to beginning. You stole my heart, you had me at hello. Before I start my review, I would like to address a few of the negative reviews. Now I understand 3 star…More »

I WANNA HOT DOG! I wish I didn't live hundreds of miles away. Top Dog is a must stop destination when visiting UC Berkeley. TD sever a variety of different hot dogs. The closest thing in socal was the Dog Out in Riverside, which was a copy that…More »
Driving around Riverside wondering is there any real food around here? I stopped at Big 5 to get some workout gloves and then I saw it. Brandon's Diner! Right between the closed Circuit City and a woman's store and nasty subway. Looking at the menu…More »

Hash House A Go Go is a place that you might both fear and love. It's like a roller coaster or a hot temptress. You know it's bad for you, but you still want it. Hash is definitely a true battle of Man verse food. They contribute to our the great…More »
Yum Ramen. Time for a second review so I can respond to a "Write more" compliment.
When you first walk in the Mituswa market food court you will notice one thing a big line at Santouka Ramen. This place is for real real not for play play. If you look…More »
Delicious Ramen! Ever since I watched the movie Tampoco, a Japanese movie about a girl learning to… Read more »
WOW! Village Seafood Buffet you had me at Sea... Why would you need a Seafood Buffet, when every buffet in Las Vegas has Seafood? If you are like me sometimes you go to the buffet JUST for the seafood. If you skip all the other dishes and head…More »
Oh my Gum Wah has some good eats! What better way to celebrate my 100th review at a place I wish I could eat every day. It is seriously impossible to find a good Won ton soup place in So Cal. Yes, that is including LA Chinatown and Rowland Heights.…More »

Leave your diet at the door because it is time for Chicken and Waffles! You can never have too much of a good thing. Homestyle waffles with southern style fry chicken.
When I first walked in didn't feel like I was walking in to a restaurant. It felt…More »
Los Primos! Delicious Mexican food. This restaurant is strangely located inside of a gas station (you can read about this on all the other reviews). Almost everyone of my co-workers have gone there.
My weapon of choice is the Monster burrito and the…More »
Mm-mm King Crab legs. This place is often a must stop every time I go to Las Vegas. This place is not cheap at all. In fact I believe its the most expensive buffet on the strip, but don't let that stop you.
The best tip I can give you is... be ready…More »
SAN MANUEL!! I remember visiting Indian land a few times a week when I was still in college. This is the most convenient location if you live in Riverside, only about 20 minutes away. Unlike Morongo, I believe this Casino is for 21 and older.

Excellent! Warning if you are on a diet don't read the rest of this review. Prepare for extreme pigging out. If you are craving simple dinner food with large portions this is the place.
The chili cheese fries are good enough for about four people. It…More »
If you are looking for great Mexican style taco at a reasonable price. This is the place. I had a craving for a simple non-Taco Bell taco and happen to find this place on yelp. I know 5 stars may seem a bit crazy, but for me its simply about the…More »

Let's go for a walk when the weather is nice. At first I never understood the appeal of outdoor malls. I like the cold artificial air that malls provide. My first impression was this great outdoor place with millions of soccer mom/ housewives pushing…More »
Yum Kelsey's! What is the best thing you can do when you have already lost all your money at Pechanga and still have an huge appetite? Go to Kelsey's! I first discovered this place while waiting for my friends to finish "working" in the poker room.…More »
"That is HELLA tight! That concert was awesome, but there were HELLA people there. Damn, that's HELLA expensive. I had to wait HELLA days for that to come in the mail..."
I feel like I lost my roots by not using Hella as much. I don't understand why…More »
"Nothing can stop THE CLAWs!" Yes, I did squeeze in a quote from Liar Liar staring Jim Carrey. It is going to be very hard to not compare this place to Boiling Crab. This is my first Cajun experience in the OC area, so I don't have horror stories…More »
I'm rating Le Village Buffet breakfast only. For about $16 for breakfast this is not a bad deal. I've spent more ordering an orange juice and entree at MGM. I wish I never did that. Since Le Village is French, you will get some pastries to go along…More »
Note: AYCE is only Monday-Thursday and lunch time on Saturday (maybe Sunday). So, you can imagine my sadness when I went there for dinner Saturday Night. I got a parking space right in front, when I know there is usually at least an hour wait =(. I…More »
Don't Speak! After a long week of working for The Man, I will not say a word until I have at least 20 wings in my stomach. Going in to Wingstop is a religious experience for me, when ever I go with friends or co-workers I sit there quietly like a…More »
If you are a Wings Fanatic and the restaurants around you aren't cutting it. Wingstop to the rescue!… Read more »
Simply the BEST EDWARDS/ REGAL Ever! A close tie with Regal in Pleasanton, CA. Living in Irvine, we are quite spoiled when it comes to movie theaters. If you are like me, you always run to Costco for the $16 for 2 movie passes. Don't be fool and pay…More »

A woman's dream and dream women for men. Where else in world do women dress up like a night on the town, just to go shopping? LA?! PLEASE! They have nothing on us. This is how we do it in The OC. Have you ever imagined a super mall of designer…More »
Popeye's is the Shiznit! If you don't believe me just ask Little Nicky. Hot N Juicy chicken spiced just right. Biscuits nom nom, beans with meat in it, and rice all Louisiana style. I won't argue with you if are from New Orleans, but pretty darn…More »

The best library in Irvine. Yes, I realized that this library is located in Tustin. Until Irvine decides to use it's wonderful tax payer money to build a massive new library, I recommend trying out the Tustin Library. I know you maybe be scared to…More »

Yelp Events! (8)Now you see me. Now you don't. Here's a few yelp events I attended. |
No Tip!!?! (19)Here is a list of places for you Cheep-0s out there. Don't be like my friend and stiff on the tip. Try these restaurants that are still good eats minus the table cloth and 15% added. Or 10% or less depending how cheap you are. Save your money in style. :) |
Lights, Camera, Action! (6)It's SHOWWWW TIME! When it's movie time here's a few places to try. |
That's they way Uh Huh Uh Huh I LIKE IT! (25)This really is a pointless list.

Anyone that reads my reviews I'd like to thank you!! If there are updates, please read the CLASSIC reviews first. *Click Useful! Maybe I might get ROTD :)* |
Man Vs Food! Man Vs Food! (6)This is list is part of my quest for Man vs Food! Based on the popular show on the Travel Channel. Adam Richman takes on legendary food challenges and finds the best pig outs. I hope that I can hit as many place as I can. Starting with all the local MVF episodes and hopefully get to some of the East Coast location. Read my reviews and decide for yourself if these restaurant should truly be on the list. |
Man Vs. Study (5)It's a Library? A what? A Library. Its like free bookstore/ movie store/ coffee shop minus the coffee and the noise. So SHHHhh. I'm trying to study. Try out these libraries if you are in Irvine and need to find a place to study. |
Clueless in Las Vegas? (10)Are you a Las Vegas Virgin or rookie? Allow this seasoned Veteran hook you up! Here's a list of a few must try places. |
ROTD (2)Here is my short list of "Review of The Day". I hope that I can add more to this list. Thanks everyone for reading! I am open to suggestions to make my reviews better. |
The Bad, the worst, and the ugly (24)Here are a list of places it won't hurt you to avoid. It may deserve a second chance, but why limit your options. |
Break away from the Chain! (13)Please put down your colorful wrapped sandwich or fake food. Time to eat some good food. Try these non-Chain restaurant locations. These restaurants are one of a kind or have fewer than 3 locations. |
