Throw out your food snobbery behavior and open your mind. Give this place a chance despite the cheesey surroundings.
The place that is being reviewing here are the food court in the Pacific Plaza. Located between a couple of jewelery store and another restaurant. You can see the sign above (picture shown) or you can try to find in the back parking lot.
Going inside the food court, you will see the different variety of counters where you can order your food. My two favorites ones are located closer to the main entrance door. When you enter, on the left side, there is noodle place where you can order noodle soup for $4. That usually hit the spot as it is not exactly a small bowl. They also serve other Taiwanese style dishes.
On the righthand side, there is a counter where you can buy the economy meals. If you have ever been to Taiwanese restaurants, that tends to be the popular choices. In this particular counter, you can ordered a 3 dishes for $10.99. Additional cost for extra dishes. This tends to be one of my favorite when I am there with large group of people.
There is also a Japanese food place and a tea bar. The strangest thing is that the tea bar actually have a Friendster page. I kid you not: http://www.friendster.com/7376398
The couple of drawbacks coming here are that the menus are not likely to be in English (big disadvantage because I can't read). On a busy night, not enough of tables and chairs.
Now obviously I'm pointing out also it brings back memories of going to Taiwan. For some of us, it's the authentic food. For others, it's the sewer smell and dirty road. In this case, you get the best of both world. For the price, it matches the value you will be getting. Just leave your food snobbery at the door, you are definitely not in Beverly Center anymore. read more
