The restaurant is aging gracefully; interiors haven't changed in some time. Servers were fast and friendly. The food is a known quantity; always good hot and tasty. I just reminded myself to go more often.

After an initial terrible start, California Dreaming has had a heck of a hot streak for me. That…read morestreak ended today. I ordered the Cali Bowl - Miso Salmon (added blackened shrimp) and fries WITH NO SALT as an APPETIZER! My buddy orders wings and a salad. His salad comes out promptly but no fries. The food comes out shortly after and he says the wings are great. Great for him! My fries finally make an appearance and are overly salty. I reminded the waitress they were requested unsalted so she took them back. By the time she'd returned with the new batch of fries, which was quite prompt, I'd mixed the ingredients of my Cali Bowl only to discover that it was lukewarm at best. The fries tasted refried, soaked with grease. The third time was a charm for the fries. I'd mentioned temperature of the bowl and although she'd offer to have it remade, it was quicker to reheat it, thus my request. It came back slightly warmer but not enough to eat. At this point, I was over it and just packed it up to take home. It wasn't the best visit but it definitely wasn't the worst. The croissants are the reason I'm sure I'll be back.

It was made of mainly green onions and not a lot of batter which is how it should be. The top and bottom was crispy. There were pieces of squid on top. It was delicious only wish they had more seafood. Sauce was great. Probably one of the best seafood pancake I've had. I'd come back just for the seafood pancake. :-) We ordered the LA galbi (short ribs). It was well marinated and tasted great! Good size portion for the price. Came with a side of lettuce with dressing. The pork bulgogi was decent portions and sweet. Meat was tender. The seafood stew has a kick. It was a bit diluted from what I'm used to with pieces of squid and couple of clams. Each of the fish came with a couple of panchans (side dishes) of fish cake, kimchi and cucumbers. Overall, great place to visit for good and fast Korean food.

However, the shrimp and salmon were quite bland. Also, they gave me a rice base instead of the quinoa and kale one, and there was barely any of it or the toppings. It was a sad bowl but had a ton of protein and dressing, which made it better. However, my partner liked their salmon wrap (4/5), so maybe the bowls just aren't good. On the way out, I grabbed some of their dark chocolate fudge, which was really good (5/5); it's just dark chocolate chips, peanut butter, and some honey, so it's not too unhealthy. Besides giving me the wrong base, the service was incredibly slow (about 20 minutes or so when we were the only order); they might have had to make the proteins, but that still doesn't explain the entire wait, especially for a fast casual place (2/5). The interior is clean (4/5).

The fries were dark, but soft and floppy if that makes sense. Can definitely use a 2nd fry or a lower temperature? Second visit was a waffle breakfast plate (home fries, scrambled eggs, 2 sausage patties) and a cuban sandwich. Husband said the Cuban sandwich was good as was the mojo sauce that was served with it. My waffle breakfast plate was fine. Nothing to write home about, but definitely edible. Parking is angled parking in front of the building or across the street at Lady A park. There's also street parking off to the side of the building as well. This is a good solid place to have a meal. The food isn't spectacular, but it is also definitely not terrible. We will return.

The supervisor/manager was incredibly polite and expressed their apologies. I said its okay, it isn't your fault and she took my order right there on the spot so I didn't have to wait again. Once the food was prepared, wasn't a crazy long wait, she brought it out to me personally and even mentioned again that she was sorry about the hiccup and she put 2 extra slices of cheesecake to make up for the error.
