First pho experience: check! I've been wanting to try an authentic pho spot for a few years now,…read moreand after seeing a movie at the newly renovated Hollywood theater, my friends and I visited New Saigon for a cozy dinner. The space is quite small and very straightforward, but you can smell the delicious food from the street outside before you even step foot in the door. The table included hoisin sauce, sriracha, chili paste, and pickled peppers, and the menu was concise. I ordered rare beef pho and fresh spring rolls. Everything was SO tasty and tasted very fresh. We received a plate of requisite pho toppings, including basil, bean sprouts, and jalapeño slices. Everything was comforting and generous in portion! I will absolutely be back!

I was very impressed by the depth of the broth flavors for both the pho and the bun bo hue (spicy lemongrass); I had several bowls of bun bo hue in its place of origin in Vietnam and New Saigon's version tasted very authentic (though for the less adventurous, does contain pork hock).

Panera Bread saved the day…read more After a long wait at The Yard and with three hungry young nieces in tow - we knew we needed some food quick. I spied Panera Bread and popped in. Though they were working on a number of orders - the staff assured me that they would be able to process our order promptly. We put in our order and sat down. Literally in a matter of 10 minutes our grilled cheese and tomato soup orders, as well as our order for a turkey and cheese sandwich - were ready. The food items were pretty basic looking - but my nieces seemed to enjoy them and we were relieved that they were no longer hungry. The staff seemed like they were ready to end their night - but they truly saved the evening with their quick food preparation. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat at this Panera location. I've encountered more pleasant Panera locations in the past. That being said - if you need a quick simple bite and/or need a low-key spot to study and eat - where you won't feel rushed - this Panera will work. Trust.

Olive Garden has never been the place to go to for out of this world culinary adventures or anything - but they did comfort Italian food that was basic but good. Things have changed though. The food tonight smacked of laziness. It isn't often I walk away from a restaurant saying, "I could have done that way better," but given how simple rigatoni with meat sauce should be, I know I could. Next time I think of coming back, I'll go to the store and make it myself. One other thing, stop forcing your wait staff to say "we" when they mean "you." "Are we ready to order, or do we need a couple more minutes?" Despite what you may think it is NOT ingratiating. It's just grating.

I only had one bowl of the wedding soup and was getting full. The food was fresh, hot, and each tasted great. I enjoyed having a few bites of each before getting a box to go. The waitress gave me an extra soup to go and a ton of chocolates. Can't beat the take home entrée either. We all know the breadsticks haven't been the same since forever but they are still fine. So yes, as always, I'll be back

Yes, yes...I know it's just Olive Garden, so what should I expect...but this location just seemed…read moreparticularly disappointing in terms of food portion size and quality! I still gave three stars - primarily because our both the host and server were very friendly and provided great service. The dining area was also comfortable and very clean throughout. Now that we got the positives out of the way, let's discuss some of the issues.. First of all, just look at that Fettuccine Alfredo in my photo! I know Olive Garden has never been "authentic" Italian pasta or somewhere to expect exceptionally gourmet quality, but this Fettuccine was exceptionally BAD!! A watery, soggy, & crappy MESS! The portion size was similarly ridiculous. Can't even fill the bowl that is already designed to make it deceptively look like more than it really is - I had basically finished it within 2-3 fork-filled bites! Also, this is perhaps just the larger corporate policy at this point, but since when did entrees get limited to only one refill of your soup or salad that comes along with it? Either way, this was mostly a disappointing experience, and I'm not sure if I'll be stopping at an Olive Garden again in the near future...

Sushi Kim's manages the remarkable feat of disappointing before the meal even begins…read more The restaurant is reached by a steep, narrow staircase, followed by a closed door that is awkward to navigate with strollers. We arrived with a 2 year old and newborn, and the entrance alone made it clear that families, older guests, and anyone with mobility limitations were not especially well considered. We chose Sushi Kim's for my wife's birthday because she loves Korean food, while I planned to order sushi. Upon arrival, however, we were informed that sushi was unavailable...an unfortunate surprise at a restaurant with "Sushi" in its name. The explanation became even more perplexing when another table was later served sushi after our order arrived at our table. Service was slow despite the dining room being nearly empty. Water arrived in plastic cups from what appeared to be a cheap reused plastic pitcher filled directly from the tap and stored in a refrigerator. (My wife actually saw them filling the just used pitchers in the visible bar area, no washing) The presentation felt less like a restaurant experience and more like something improvised in a break room. The food itself did little to redeem the evening. Portions were remarkably small, and my five foot tall, 100 lbs wife, who rarely leaves a restaurant hungry, did exactly that. At approximately $72, the meal represented poor value by any reasonable standard. What's worse is that is clearly frozen box food!!! The evening concluded with suggested gratuities of 18%, 20%, and 22%, which felt particularly tone deaf after slow service, limited menu availability, meager portions, and an overall lack of hospitality. Sushi Kim's may have history and loyal customers, but our experience was cramped, confusing, overpriced, and thoroughly underwhelming. A birthday dinner should feel memorable for the right reasons. Unfortunately, this one did not. Sushi Kim needs a rescue as they appear to have fallen in hard financial times and the reasons why appear obvious.
