Noodle Planet - January 2009

I found Noodle Planet to be generic. It suffers from being a jack of all trades and a master of none. I've tried their pan fried noodles and their seafood noodle soup. In each of the cases, the amount of ingredients whether it be the beef, chicken, and seafood were lacking. I wouldn't go back and would go to a regular chinese restaurant instead.

Tokyo Bowl - January 2009

Teriyaki Bowl is exceptional compared to other teriyaki place. What places them above other places is their combo meal of teriyaki beef and chicken cutlet. The teriyaki beefs is within in the norm but the way they cook the chicken cutlet is above average. The chicken cutlet skin is crispy like chicharon and the chicken meat juicy.

Great China Express - January 2009

Great China Express combines your traditional Chinese fast food with...Louisiana style fried chicken. Awesome combination. A favorite of mine amongst all the Chinese fast food places for this unique blend.

El Pescador #2 - 2008

At El Pescador #2, I had their Empapelado (shrimp, octopus, fish, abalone cooked in steam all sauteeing in a heavy cream and mushroom sauce). It took awhile but well worth the wait.

Pho Mai - December 2008

Pho Mai is the oasis in the desert. The only Vietnamese restaurant for miles in the city of Santa Fe Springs and Whittier. The next closest city for me is Artesia or Cerritos. The pho is standard but its a stand out amidst all the other restaurants in the area.

Thai Thai - 2008

I had the BBQ chicken at Thai Thai. It gave me the runs.

Hawaiian Heaven 2008

Its not all that. I had the e short ribs and golden fried shrimp. The pseudo-Hawaiian didn't impress me.
