My go-to dish here is the shrimp tempura udon with 4 pieces of California roll. The service  is outstanding, and the dishes are stellar! A real treat!

When I go to Roy's Hawaiian Fusion, I know that I can always count on incredible food and excellent service. I always feel special when I go to this restaurant. They pay attention to details. For example, when I have visited the restaurant for a birthday or anniversary, they have printed a special menu with my name on it. I leave the restaurant not only satisfied with a great meal but an amazing dining experience.

For first-timers, I recommend their combination meals, like their fish trio to sample a little bit of everything. They also have tasty Bento boxes with generous portions. But you MUST order the pineapple upside down cake for dessert! It's stellar!

Being a native from Southern California, I have heard a lot about Yamashiro in Hollywood and had placed it on my list of restaurants to visit. What I learned from my visit to Yamashiro is that researching a restaurant before visiting it can save you some money and help you select the best dishes. What attracts people to this restaurant are the breathtaking views of the city and its rich history. We arrived early and enjoyed the view and a drink at the bar outside by the pagoda garden. Instead of ordering a $30+ entree, we were more than satisfied ordering a few sushi rolls, tempura, and a unique dessert. I think this dining experience was stellar because I didn't feel like I overpaid for my meal, what we ordered was outstanding, and I was happy to have finally visited this stellar stop.

A dear friend invited us to this dinner for a special evening out on the town in Orange County, and it will be a dining experience that I will talk about for the rest of my life. Asian fusion served tapas style for all to share, or you may choose to consume each plate individually. The hostess explained to us that the venue is used for fashion shows as well, so pads are carefully arranged around the catwalks to create seating for dining tables for the restaurant.  The décor of the restaurant is stunning, with colors of red and black, and innovative architecture. The food is styled equally as exotic, and is delicious.  The most memorable dish for me was the kimchi fried rice. Anqi Bistro is not just a meal; it is a stellar experience!
