Malo is right… es muy mal… This place is so overpriced! The decor is nothing special and the food is served in meager portions.

Tan Ky Mi Gia

After having a business brunch with Hai, we decided to actually go and eat something somewhere else. We originally decided to goto the banh mi shop near Big Lots but changed our minds and ate at Tan Ky Mi Gia instead.

Much to my suprise, the noodle menu did not offer fried shrimp! I was very saddened…

Surf City Squeeze

Shoshanna and I were shopping at UTC for Amy’s bridal shower gift and I pretty much hadn’t eaten anything all day… since I skipped lunch to visit my new BFF at work, but that’s another story!

Cha Cha Cha (revisit)

Submitted by cathytran on 08/23/2006 - 6:28pm.

When Jenn suggested that we have dinner at Cha Cha Cha, I was like “OMG! Are you effing kidding me?!?!? I’ve been dying to go there for years!” Do I need to remind you? This is where Brian Earl Spilner (aka Brian O’Conner) takes Mia Toretto on a date in The Fast and the Furious.

Studio Diner

It was just another Sunday at UTC. I had rushed back from LA to hang out with Jodie, Tommy, Tia Mowry, and the guys of Veronica Mars (Jason Dohring, Percy Daggs, and Ryan Hansen). After talking to Ryan (my new BFF!) about the Studio Diner, Jodie suggested that we have lunch there and since I had never been there before, I was all for it! Especially since it’s one of the filming locations used for Veronica Mars and well… you know me.

I visited my friend in Long Beach and we decided to eat locally. We parked near 2nd street, which was filled with different restaurants. Since I wanted to try something not so common and my friend had not been to this place since high school, we decided on Open Sesame, labeled as ‘Authentic Lebanese Cuisine’ by the restaurant.

Chopstix Sushi & Noodle Cafe

After helping my friend assemble his new computer, we decided to grab a bite in Convoy. I wasn’t in the mood for anything in particular. So I asked my friend what was his favorite place to eat at was and he tells me Chopstix. No, this isnt the americanized chain if thats what you’re thinking. That one is Pick Up Stix. Some people get these two places confused.
