by Samantha L. on OK, when it comes to going out for a night on the town...GO BIG OR GO HOME! With that being said, this place is a guarantee good times for ladies :) I've been to this place twice with my bestie, and no, we did not go for any special occasion!!! The program itself is a little over a hour long and you'll be surrounded by bachelorette parties, but WHO CARES! Their waiting staff are all hunks waiting for their big Hollywood break, and the talents/performers are HOT (I didn't really pay attention to their faces thou...I'm alllllll about the abs). I highly recommend getting as up close and personal to the stage as possible. The show is pretty well choreographed for LA (this isn't Vegas people) and its always fun when the talents talk to you after the show :) Why did I deduct a star? The MC is a totally a-hole. He's jokes are very degrading towards women, and it doesn't make sense when you're trying to make money from a pure female market base . THIS ISN'T A STRIP CLUB, ITS A SHOW!!!! I like to end things on the positive side. Their schedule works perfectly with the near by clubs/bars, so once they're finished, you can move on to other venues and have yourselves a great night :)
by Marilyn T. on This was my 4th time here, and each time, it's as enteraining as the prior visit (even more entertaining when you go with guys who have no idea about the performers.) I'm usually not a fan of fusion, but I must say, their's is not bad. I recalled it being better in the past, but it's still better than most other fusion restaurants. Each time I've gone, I've done the platinum feast for birthdays, and this way we can taste everything and do it family style. We started with the blackened tuna sashimi, which was my favorite. It's tender in the center and fresh, with a nice herbed crust that was just slightly peppery. The Asia-dillas were good as usual, and the sundried cherry creme fraiche was a nice complement to the duck, but make sure you eat this warm. The tamarind chicken satays are like any other chicken satay - done well, moist, chicken breast meat, with your standard peanut sauce. The baby bok choy and shiitakes weren't too special, and they tasted like any other Chinese stir fry. The grilled shrimp and herb salad was a nice cilantro salad with a sour vinaigrette with a nice kick. I loved the crisped coconut and chopped peanuts, which added a nice crunch, but the shrimp was a bit overdone. On to "second courses." Usually, I'm not a fan of lamb at all, but I always love their orange lamb. The sauce is so good with rice and the taro chips, and I love the cucumber salad with it. The miso glazed salmon has a subtle miso glaze, and it was cooked jst right. The truffled soba noodles were a bit too oily this time, but I love the truffle scent and mushrooms and asparagus. The ribs were pretty standard, nothing spectacular - just your usual honey tamarind glaze, but I couldn't taste the tamarind. As for dessert, I loved the banana beignets with chocolate and butterscotch dipping sauces. The banana beignets are crunchy on the outside, smooth/sweet inside, like a halved banana lumpia. For the ice cream cones, the taro (purple) is my favorite; the other flavors are coconut and lychee. The highlights are the performances (they are quite hot..) and birthday shots. Girls take shots either from the chest, or between the legs (crotch shots). They have lots of fruity cocktails, of which my favorites were the Jackie's razzledazzle and the sake cosmo. Afterwards, you can go downstairs, where there's a bar, a DJ, and a stripper pole. It's pretty much all the diners from your sitting that go down there, but the music was good, and the bartenders are fun and let us do our own "crotch shots" among friends. Parking isn't too bad, and it's pretty close to 101. The area is a bit shady, and meter is free after 6pm (but $3/hour before that). My only other complaint is that there are only 2 bathroom stalls. It'll probably cost $70-100 per person with drinks, but it's a very unique experience. Even though I've gone so many times, it's always fun with a big group, and the food is pretty good for a performance venue.
