I thought I did a review on this place before.... guess not. Anyways. I get two things here. Either the fish katsu egg topper or the fish katsu kurry. The prices aren't that bad and you order from a touch screen monitor. Seating can be a little difficult during lunch when college kids are out.

Great seafood and bakery spot. Get the clam chowder bread bowl with the seafood topping. Crab melt is pretty good too. Prices aren't bad. There's another location in Pismo Beach.

Sake Sushi - Walnut

Didn't receive many great reviews on Yelp, but $1.00 (per piece) sushi isn't too bad. The salmon is decent. There's an okay $4.25 crunch roll. They have half off beer all day too.

Misora Sushi - Diamond Bar

Decent sushi rolls in the Diamond Bar area. It's in the same plaza as Chuck E. Cheese's. They have Happy Hour Monday-Thursday 3pm-5pm (20% off your meal).

SGV Food Truck Festival - City of Industry

Located inside SpeedZone in the City of Industry. Going on every first Friday of the month. $5 bucks to get in (but I heard of people being able to sneak in). If you decide to be civil and pay the entrance fee, you'll get $5 worth of free games that can be redeemed at the arcade.

Be prepared to spend a lot.... of money (on food) and time (in lines).

Syrup Desserts - Downtown LA

Belgian waffles, ice cream, strawberries, bananas, and nutella. That's all I need.

I'm personally not a huge fan of the kogi truck, but I've been reading a lot about the other new trucks out there and all the craze that's behind them. I'm jumping on the bandwagon, finally.

The Food Trucker is a great place to find out about all the different food trucks out there, what events are coming up, and they have a real cool application where they have a map showing where there are open trucks at that very moment. Don't know how accurate it is, but it's a great concept.

Decent, cheap, Chinese food, that's open relatively late. There's 3 locations within a 4 mile stretch of Colima in Rowland Heights. They got shrimp with glazed walnuts for about $7!

Learned about this place from a former co-worker who doesn't even live around the area. Go for the shaved snow (not shaved ice). I like the one with strawberries and chocolate fudge. Ask for extra condensed milk. Good for two people or maybe more. Their crispy mushrooms are bomb too.

Not really gourmet sushi, but very good prices for decent quality. Each plate is only $2.50. The albacore sushi is pretty good.

Ostioneria Colima - Hacienda Heights

Great seafood cocktails, ceviches, and Mexican seafood dishes. Speaking Spanish would help a little.

Happy Hour Eats - Food Blog

I just started another food blog.  This one's gonna be a list of restaurants with happy hour food menus and specials.  Don't know how far I'll get into, but hopefully I can stay consistent and update it frequently.  Check it out and let me know what you think.  If you know any places with happy hour food deals, it would be a big help if you left me a comment there.  Thanks.

Studio B (Buffet) - Henderson, NV

Studio B

Most of the Vegas locals recommend this place and say it's the best buffet right now. I concur.

The buffet is located south of The Strip inside the M resort/casino. It's about $30 for the seafood dinner. Go to their site or Yelp to find out more....

If you don't know... now you know.

The Shack - Rowland Heights

The Shack
18927 Colima Rd

Relatively new Boiling Crab-like spot in Rowland Heights on Nogales and Colima. It's in the same plaza as Rite Aid and the Korean Supermarket. Most of my friends and I prefer going here instead of BC. Their sauce is chunkier and more garlicky. Some say the shrimps are bigger. Not sure. Service is awesome.

closer to home than Koyo. Salmon sushi was pretty fatty. Gotta go back to try more of their sushi.

My second favorite sushi spot (because it's close to home). Serves traditional sushi/japanese food. For dinner, only sushi is available.
