- I love uni!
I was born and raised in Sacramento, Ca. The last 15 years, I've resided in Orange County. Growing up, my father cooked for us everyday. He would take us to restaurants and make us guess the ingredients in the dishes we ate. Okay, so he was always better than me when I was a child, but now I'd say I'm pretty good. Over the years I've learned volumes about food ingredients, the way different elements are prepared, refined taste, and overall heightening my awareness of the exact state of the food I am eating. I absolutely love food and feel that it is one of the greatest enjoyments in life next to children and snowboarding.

Review:
I ordered a medium size which has a lot of noodles. I added meatballs since they have really good ones here. I just love the pho here. The broth is clear and savory. They give a good amount of meat so you always leave feeling satisfied. Also, when you eat here, you get a free drink with your meal every time.

Chile Relleno and Beef Enchilada Combo
Americanized Mexican food

Review:
The portion was normal, not overwhelming. Surprisingly, the beef in the enchilada was tender and tasted good. The chile relleno was okay. I've had better. The rice and refried beans were typical, but good. There was a lot of cheese on everything..a little too much, but that's Americanized Mexican for you!

House special noodle
okay, weird
on 8/1/2010
Taste: 3
Presentation:

Originality:

Review:
First of all, these noodles were burnt, but not cooked on the belly side. The sauce was not that good. The shrimp they used was of low quality since it had the preservative taste of shrimp that come frozen, peeled, and de-veined. Octopus? Since when did Chinese noodles come with octopus...very strange. What happened to the squid? When we tried to return this dish because it was burnt, the waitress gave us a long 2 minute explanation about how we didn't order the crunchy noodles with our house special noodle dish. Then she just walked away. I was staring at the dish and could plainly see it was crunchy noodles that were burnt. So much for good service.

The clams were very fresh. They were small, but good. The sauce had too much corn starch. It was thick. The taste of the sauce was mediocre. Nothing special.

Braised crab meat w/fish maw soup
Blah, fish maw soup.
on 8/1/2010
Taste: 2
Presentation:

Originality:

Review:
This soup was disappointing. There was no crab meat to be seen. The fish maw was not soaked long enough. It was slightly tough. Yuck! They used so much corn starch, I felt as if I was eating corn starch soup with some ingredients in it. Don't get me wrong, I know the soup is made with corn starch, but they used way too much. It was so thick and yucky. Also, the portion was small for the price. What a rip off!

Review:
The beef was perfectly cooked and tender. It did make me happy to eat it. You don't get a lot of beef, but it is a good cut of beef probably not prime though.
