maple bacon milkshake

Albertacos. Essentially late night mexican food. Somewhere near fullerton.

http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...23158980_n.jpg

got a carne burrito, and 3 rolled tacos deep fried, topped with guacomole and cheese) The burrito was fucking awesome. The 3 rolled taco's were a little rich and much.

Love Letter Chicken and Pizza

http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...23106335_n.jpg

Bulgoggi pizza

http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...22655842_n.jpg

Spicy Garlic Chicken. Essentially a korean pizza joint.

http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...06185118_n.jpg

Taquiria mexicana. Down the street from the honda center in anaheim.

This place is good. Real good. I got esophogus, chorizo, head (the best one imo), al pastor (fucking delicious), carne asada, and carnitas pork.

I asked to go back here a second time. Each taco is 96 cents. Also washed it down with delicious horchata.

Went to in and out. Whitespot is still better.

Since I was in irvine went to some asian mall... it was the busiest fucking mall ive ever seen in my life. Think aberdeen on the busiest day of its life, and multiply it by 15.

Every resteraunt had a lineup out the door, and even ajisan (shitty fucking ramen) had a lineup out the door. There is a really famous taiwanaese bakery there called something along the lines of 89th street that had a 50 person lineup.

http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...57871113_n.jpg

(Ajisan terrible ramen... the meat in it was fucking delicious though)

Parking was impossible too.

We ended up eating at a tofu house

http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...20036716_n.jpg

bimbimbop was fucking delicious

http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...99865313_n.jpg

Honestly wish I ate at some better places, but we were on a tight schedule. I heard the ramen in downtown LA is fantastic.

What's the name/address of this Asian mall? I was in LA/Anahiem last week. All we did was hit up late night Chinese food near Garfield/Atlantic in Montery Park.

On the last day, we went to Orochon in Little Tokyo. That was pretty good but I still like Santuoka better.

Byrne Road location is okay, just looks fancy & new, that's all..

Cho, how long have you been kitchen manager? I worked when Maureen was there, like 3...shit 4 years ago now. Mary's still head grill? Mark's still there?

my gf works at market crossing and im pretty sure that one is the headquarters.

Cork n Fin

Was there last Friday for a friend's b day

-Caught the tail-end of the happy hour, oysters were $1.5 each (Rodney's better if you're looking to have oysters)
-Set menu at $32, 3 courses. More like a tasting menu
-Services was okay, but the waitress said she can't do split bills for a party>8 which was kind of inconvenient

Overall 6/10

fucking rip-off place, the portions are so tiny. Basically you are paying for a small bowl of "oil rice" and a few pieces of fat chicken (drum stick meat). The soup is only filled half way. For close to $8, you can find better and bigger portions food elsewhere. Its definitely not cheap. If you look inside, looks like they hire "cheap labour" (rural china fobs) to make the chicken for them, so who knows how dirty food is prepped and handled inside.

Its $7.25 plus HST for the meal BTW. Highly not reccomended if you are hungry because its more like a snack and i'm a small eater too.

^lmao you should go to the actual restaurant. Even more expensive! But the reason behind using the drum stick meat is because it's dark meat and it's more tender/silky or whatever lol

7/10 Food
6/10 Service

Claypot Hotpot

8/10 for food
5/10 for service
7/10 for ambiance
