For a drink I wanted the flavor tea but didn't want too much sweetness and the waitress was so nice she mixed it with the regular tea for meand it came out perfect. They also had a dog menu (so cuuuute!!), so our dog ordered the pup patty. He gives 4 paws! the highest rating a dog can give. The indoor space is huuuuge. Walked in to use the bathroom and it was nice! Because we came for dinner, all the shops in the Barnyard center were closed but seemed like there was lots to see in the daytime.

We have been going to Noodle Bar (NB) for a few years now. They are still in a very narrow strip…read moremall with somewhat limited parking, but we have been able to get a spot every time. The area is still pretty sketchy and since COVID there is still no seating at the restaurant so plan to get your food to go and take it back to a safe place to enjoy it--we do not recommend eating in you car. We tried that before and the homeless people walking by made it super uncomfortable. On this visit, a guy who belonged in a psychiatric hospital was yelling so loud while crossing the street that two of us left NB to go outside and see what the problem was--just a sick man yelling so went back inside. Despite all that, NB does great business, and as other Yelpers have noted, NB food quantity is still very good for the price. Prices have gone up but not as bad as elsewhere and it is still a good deal for what you get. The food quality really depends on personal taste. We live in San Gabriel, so there is no shortage of stellar Asian food there and NB cannot compete. However, we really like NB's curry chicken. Their noodle dishes really vary in quality, but none of them are bad, all are at least ok, and some are good. This time we also got a chow mien. It was basically fried ramen noodles, not chow mien noodles. It was not stellar, but hey we still liked the flavor and enjoyed it. We tried for the first time the catfish nuggets. It is basically what is called salt and pepper fish filet elsewhere, but with catfish at NB. It's fried, salty fish so what's not to like. It comes with what appeared to be sweet chili sauce, but we did not try that. Business was so good that after trying to call in our order twice, which we definitely recommend doing, no one answered. We drove over and put in our order in person and saw that they were super busy--the lady taking orders missed at least one call in just while taking our order in person. Her and the people cooking were working super hard--massive props and respect to them for working hard to create a successful and long standing business in the community. We will definitely be back again and definitely recommend you give them a try. I believe the only or best (lol) menu photos were the ones I posted about 3 years ago and so I am posting and update if those with this revues and to their business. Last thoughts, they are cash only so come prepared, they have boba drinks, and they have dessert (never tried that). Give them a try!

Definitely not my own, because the length and colors are off and it was in the middle of the food. I tried going back to them, but alas, they are hair ENTHUSIASTS here.

Husband and I were spending a long weekend in Carmel with our dog. We were able to make a…read morereservation ahead of time online- the system only does indoor reservations, so make sure you email them to let them know if you are bringing a pup and need a patio seat! The restaurant is located on the lowest level of the Carmel Plaza, I really loved the location because there are plenty of places to park right around there. Between the two of us, we shared: - Miso cacio e pepe: we came specifically for this! It's one of their most well known dishes, and I highly highly recommend! So creamy and savory, and the mafaldine pasta has such a nice texture, the ruffled edges hold on to sauce perfectly. We also added a bit of gochujang that came with the bibimbap and it was so good with some spice. - Dolsot bibimbap: my husband's favorite Korean dish so of course we had to get it! An excellent variety of veggies, which was nice since we barely got any veg on vacation. The kalbi beef was so juicy and delicious, and not overcooked. - Matcha Tiramisu: absolute must get, so unique. The cake layers were soaked in matcha, and topped off with some fresh fruit. - Grapefruit sake spritz: I was on the fence between this cocktail and the yuzu champagne spritz. Our waitress said that the grapefruit spritz was much less sweet, and I am so glad I decided to go with that option! It was the perfect amount of sweetness, not overwhelming. Overall, my husband and I agreed that the matcha tiramisu was the best bite either of us had all weekend!

We had some recommend us Jeju Kitchen, and prior to coming, I definitely did my Yelp research as to…read morewhat to order. Yelpers... thank you for recommending the creamy miso cacio e pepe. The noodles were both chewy and perfectly al dente. Such a fantastic texture. We also added pork belly, and that was a marvelous addition with allll of the fats and flavor. That was the only Korean aspect of our meal, which is why I rated Jeju a 4. Even though it's a Korean restaurant, I unfortunately didn't get any Korean flavors. Because we had stuffed ourselves with pastries beforehand, we opted for the Jeju garden salad. The salad comes with Ad Astra bread: pro tip... dip it in the cacio e pepe sauce. We loved the Ad Astra bread so much that I bought the same seed and grain bread the following morning at Ad Astra. I LOVE how the restaurants partner with the local bakeries and shops. What a lovely community. Back to the salad: it has a bit of everything, and was exactly what we needed. Quinoa, fruit, avocado, tomato's, lettuce. Great dish. The ambiance here is perfect: sit outside and enjoy some live music, and people watch! Highly recommend coming here if you're in the area! Overall, loved the food and would 100% come back when I'm in the area!

Right before we arrived at the restaurant, my 3-year-old daughter had fallen and hit her head on the cement. Unfortunately, I didn't get the name of the wonderful older Asian woman who helped us, but I hope she somehow sees this review. She was incredibly attentive and kind. She had us sit down while we waited, brought my daughter ice and bandaids for her head, and continued to check on her throughout our time there. Before we left, she even came back to check on my daughter one more time. It may have seemed like a small gesture to her, but in that moment, it meant so much to us. It's the kind of kindness you don't forget. The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. If she happens to read this, thank you so much for taking care of my daughter and for being so incredibly kind to us. We truly appreciate you.

My daughter and I started with the calamari, which was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. For my entrée, I had the sea bass, easily one of the best I've had in a long time. It was crispy on the outside, moist and flaky on the inside, and the accompanying sauce took it to another level of flavor. Whenever I see sea bass on a menu, I never pass it up, and I have to say Flying Fish Grill's version is now one of my all-time favorites. My daughter's seafood pasta was equally impressive, packed with fresh seafood and wonderful flavor. Thank you to the entire team for a memorable dining experience. We can't wait to come back!

I've received several recommendations to stop in to La Bicyclette, so when a Friday night reservation for 4 opened, I knew I had to snag it! La Bicyclette markets itself as a French and European inspired bistro. It is extremely popular, so make a reservation if you want to eat before 9pm! The interior is charming and homey. The dress code is casual, but you can dress up if you'd like! By the time we came in for our reservation, we were ready to dig in! Our order included the following: * Gnocchis à la Parisienne $21**: I heard rumors about this miraculous gnocchi and it did not disappoint! The sauce was rich and cheesy, yet the gnocchi was bouncy and not soggy! I could eat this all by myself! * Tuscan Panzella Salad $20**: The freshest heirloom tomatoes were used in this salad. The croutons were tasty and super crunchy, balancing out the sweetness of the vinaigrette and strawberries. The portion is generous too! * Poisson Mediterranean $46: Cod was the catch of the day! The sauce was very flavorful, a bit much for me. The fish was perfectly cooked! * Spaghetti Amalfitana $48: This comes with a lobster tail -- wow! The sauce was also rich. The portion was huge, definitely shareable. The shrimp tasted like it was fresh out of the ocean! Not for me, but may be for some! * Steak au Poivre $58: The steak was perfectly cooked! Sliced easily and fell apart in your mouth. The peppercorn cognac sauce was delicious! * Summer Truffle Pizza $35**: I will be thinking about this pizza for the rest of my life. Crispy, not overwhelmingly oily, using real truffle on top. I would go back for this alone!!! Dessert: * Pot de Mousse au Chocolat (for two) $17: Luscious chocolate mousse, not overly sweet. Easy to eat and perfect for you and a date! * Affogato $14: I didn't try anything but the Madeline, which was fine! ** is a must-order! The service was spectacular. We were checked on many times during the dinner. The staff was attentive and thoughtful with their recommendations. I will yearn for La Bicyclette until the next time I return! 50000 stars out of 5.

This was like having a rebellious teenager blaring loud music and ignoring your every request to lower the volume or change the channel! We asked multiple staff for help, even offering to get a French CD from our car for them -- no action. Of course the overcrowded tables were yelling to each other to be heard over selections meant for a nightclub. The same lack of service flexibility exhibits in the food. If you don't like fries with your steak, no amount of money will get you vegetables instead. Flies, heat, overcrowding, loud, lack of flexibility, and waaay overpriced for all that. As locals, my family have been coming to this restaurant since it opened. This was our last visit.
