A little over a week ago, we put out a call for your own Foodbeast experience! We got some super interesting pieces, so I decided I would feature one of the winning entries by Zugey, from Whittier, CA. Utilizing a thorough writeup and some fun pictures to match, she and a few friends went on an eating frenzy and bring some love from a couple different eateries. Congratulations Zugey!
And without further ado, here’s the entry:
I think it's the best way to describe my eating habits as of late. From
Japanese cuisine to delectable Thai meals, there is no limit for my Asian
taste buds. In just three days, I have visited two Korean and one Vietnamese
establishments with a multitude of culinary experiences to offer.
Let me begin with my food BFF, *Mr. Lee's*. This quaint Korean BBQ nestled
in a mini-mall on South Street is ... well... to be frank: awesome. This $10
All-You-Can-Eat heaven offers not only an insight into one of the tamer
Korean entrees, but it is completely worth every penny. Although the idea of
cooking your own food at a restaurant may be a turn off, grilling the meat
at your own pace comes in handy when scarfing down plate after plate.
100% Frozen Meat
Side Dishes Galore - Mix with your Meat.
Despite all the grease and oil, calling after a waitress that doesn't speak
English, and waiting on refills for your many side dishes (which include a
rice paper, potato salad, an interesting salad mix, and the famous Korean
dish: kimchi), one never leaves Mr. Lee's home of Korean BBQ unsatisfied and
empty-stomached. And that's a fact.
Another Asian adventure I recently returned from was an 11 o'clock visit to
*Pho House* on Beach Blvd. Open 24/7, this Pho restaurant will cater to your
Vietnamese needs. Despite it's simple menu (with very few non-soup related
items), this eating establishment delivers big bowls filled with noodles and
meat for a rather meager price ($5.95 Regular $6.95 Large).
Pho-tastic!
Once again on another Korean culinary adventure, I had the pleasure of
retrying an ice cold favorite of my *chingoos**. It is titled patbingsoo
meaning Korean shaved ice. Similar to Guppy's famous shaved ice, it contains
fruits and condensed milk. Although not as large, *Javabru* on Beach Blvd.
and Rosecrans still overloaded us with this afternoon delight.
Although highly delicious, we recommend you demand only half the red beans
they would originally put. They tend to over power everything.
And with that said, I hope you visit one of the three restaurants I had the
pleasure of reviewing:
