Sam Woo Seafood & BBQ

Reviewed By ScottLB

Chinese cuisine is predictable but some are just better than others. Sam Woo is a consistent provider of authentic Chinese cuisine at reasonable prices. Their fried rice and roast duck will not disappoint as they always come out consistently good and flavorful. Quick, efficient service too.

Gen Korean BBQ House

Reviewed By wireless_in_CA

I took the family here for Thanksgiving dinner instead of the usual turkey. We all agreed that this was the right choice since there was no preparation, cooking or clean up. We also made sure not too dress too nicely since we knew we would be smelling like BBQ after all the table cooking we would have to do.We arrived before five thinking that Gen would be crowded like it normally is but we were surprised that the place was not even half full. We still had to wait for almost 20 minutes since there was not enough servers. The queue behind us continued to grow but it was not until once the next shift showed up for work then the queue started to get seated. However once we got seated we quickly made our choices but still had to wait for our waiter as he was still servicing his other tables. The policy of ordering the meats is only four meat dishes ordered at each round and you cannot order more than one of the same dish. For the non meat dishes you can order at the same time as the meat without limits.Together we finished off 17 orders of meats and seafood. Most of the pork and beef orders came out in roughly 2 strips each, calamari was one rectangle, shrimp was only five each time and the bulgolgi came in a bowl. Overall the best dishes were the Cajun shrimp, Hawaiian steak, Kalbi and the all pork belly varieties. We were bummed that they ran out of tongue. Overall the meats were easy to cook and the controls for the gas grill easy to modify at the end of the table.The veggie plate was a joke with cuts of bell peppers, onions, zucchini and slices of corn on the cob. The japchae noodles were disappointing with the portion size and lack of meat. The tastiest non meat dish was the fried dukboki with a sweet and sour sauce. If you are still hungry after eating all this meat then you can buy macaroon ice cream sandwiches separately for your dessert (3.49 each I think).Service was efficient and each time the meat dishes were delivered the waiter took our next round of meat orders. The pace was slow initially but picked up once we got into the routine of cooking and eating.Definitely worth a return visit.

Kabuki - Cerritos

Reviewed By k123-foodie

First of all its not the cheapest place. But good for foodies and couples. I really likes it for Karman food and quality of meats if you order premium choices. Service was a bit lacking and fast but typical for this style. Good convenient location. Lots of choices and side dishes.

Katella Deli Bakery and Restaurant

Reviewed By dbr555dr

Nice large restaurant, very comfortable, and includes counter service. Food is NEW YORK JEWISH DELI style, so smoked pastrami, corned beef, tongue, salami, smoked fish, potato pancakes, matzo ball soup, Knish, borscht, and way so much more.Service is usually very good and was this time as well. My wife and I were there with my daughter, son in law and our grandson.Pickles came out first and were replenished on request.I had pastrami and corned beef on rye, called Randy's Choice. My wife had Chicken Salad on a Kaiser roll. Daughter and son in law each had pastrami.The place is less consistent then I would like, sometimes the meat is too fat or too stringy; sometimes the bread slices are too small. This time the bread was the right size and the meats were lean and melted in your mouth.The pickles, a free appetizer, were full dills. My 20 month old grand son ate most of the first plate of them so we asked for more.Food comes out quickly. The server stays nearby so we never waited for service.There is always a wait to be seated, but at the end of the meal you can go back through the restaurant and into their fresh bakery which is extensive and luscious appearing. We always get some cookies for my wife or kids. I usually buy a rye bread to extend the experience. I love this place and there is nothing better or even as good in Orange County or even south Los Angeles county.

Gerry's Grill

Reviewed By gold-vintner

This was our first experience with Filipino food.....and it was a good one.The service was wonderful....the waiter explained everything and answered ALL of our questions.The food was VERY good....and.....you have to order the garlic rice.....the garlic is prevalent....very tasty.Our rating would have been a 5 except that the bathroom floors were sticky, an indication that the floors were dirty. Another positive.....Many restaurants are now putting the tipping amounts on their paperwork. Some will show tipping amounts that have been figured on the total bill (which includes tax)....such is NOT the case here......KUDOS to management.

Reviewed By hursha6b5

I'm going to categorize this visit by star loss. (-1): MisadvertisementOn the website, they stated that they gave "salad and yellow spongy dhokra". None of these things were given (-1): Lack of advertised productsAfter ordering the falooda ice-cream, we were informed that they were out. In an all-you-can-eat restaurant, this was very disappointing.(-1): Inefficiency of ServiceThe timing of the service was really bad. Food never came at the right time, so we were always out of something!

Panda Inn

Reviewed By Honeybunny96

We came here for a party and was surprised to learn that we were all treated to a lovely champagne brunch. We never knew that Panda Inn offers anything like this. It was really awesome. So many dishes to choose from including a sushi buffet and a noodle/wonton station where you can personalize and let a cook make your soup for you. Absolutely enjoyed it. Food was delicious as well. I didn't try the sushi but my husband who is a picky eater, loved it. There's a dessert station too but didn't make it there because I was too full. I wish we had something like this in SFV. I highly recommend it to folks traveling to or around La Palma which is next to Buena Park's Knott's Berry Farm and Anaheim's Disneyland.

Gen Korean BBQ

Reviewed By Frank O

The Korean bbq itself makes for a great time together with any family or group. But GEN brings it one step above the others with their service, atmosphere, and of course food! Whether it's family, or co workers, it fits the bill for food, fun, and togetherness.
