by Jina k. on Nothing but disappointments. Being the Iron Chef Morimoto's restauarnt, I had high expectations. Went there for lunch-- I understand Asian cultures share many similarities; tea, spices, ingredients...But OMG 70% of the food that I have tried are spin-offs of Korean dishes! And let me stress, they were not good. 1) Rock Shrimp with Ggo choo jang-- While the crispy shrimp was delicious... ggo choo jang is Korean chilli paste (stop borrowing from my culture!!). This was the best dish. 2) Tuna tartar-- Not good. It was served in a bowl of soy (and something else) sauce. I mean, tuna was just drenched in the sauce, after few bites, we had to scoop the tuna with a spoon. Very SALTY!!! 3) Tofu Miso Soup-- I had to try this b/c if you're Japanese, you should know how to make a good miso soup. And, it was delicious. The soft tofu was sooo silky and delicious. 4) Octopus carpaccio-- Thinly sliced baby octopus with dressing (can't remember what) was good and tender. 5) Kobe Beef bibimbap-- What the hell is this??? I thought, when i got the dish. It looks just like Korean dish, but man, it was awful. The beef was overcooked and the sauce was so tangy/vinegary, that thats all you tasted. Awful Awful Awful. Service was OK, food was disappointing, and the restaurant was beautiful. The light (bulb) that is fixed in the middle of the table was annoying. 2 stars for the interior and one star for the food, hence 3 stars I definitely won't go back.
by Manuel Ngo on Beautifully done intimate lounge. Very opulent looking. Tight door which I personally like. Crowd was interesting and beautiful. Girls were friendly as well as the boys. Music varied from old school to new hip hop, rock songs, club music. It's in a neighboorhood that has not been taken over by other clubs/lounges so the people who go there are not obnoxious. Enjoy it while it lasts
by Edward L. on Get your Nerd on! This is the ultimate place to talk D&D, pound a frothy beverage and clench a wench! Of course you may have to flee the "What's in your wallet?" gang, but it novel and neato. place for picking up high school chicks ("come check out my cameo")... of just seeing how "the other half" lives. Took the family there back when I had one; we had fun. Now I'm just one. All I do is have fun.
