Ong Go Jib Korean BBQ- Rowland Heights

Face it: we forget things. We were seeking to find a Korean BBQ place that one of us had been to before during a trip to Rowland Heights. Problem was, we forgot where it was or what it was called! So, when we thought we arrived at the place we had been to before, we just went in immediately to the restaurant and had a seat. Was Ong Go Jib the restaurant we thought we had been to? Nope. Not at all! In fact, it was quite empty being at around 11AM. There was one table with a chatty teen which I will talk to you about later, and another table with some seniors eating some food. That was it! No one else was there. None of the grills they said they would use for BBQ were on either at the tables. It was all quiet, with the teen (or college student, I don't know) making all the noise on college, food, and travel to his grandma. :) After ordering from their lunch menu, multiple dishes of panchan were placed onto our table. This was different than our usual whereabouts but it was good! Very

A&J Restaurant- Arcadia

I wrote about A&J Restaurant-Irvine last summer; it was not for our tastes and ended up being another piece of "evidence" that we should just skip Chinese food when traveling to the OC. Or maybe not, with good advice from the likes of Elmomonster and Eileen on Asian food in the OC. I attributed A&J to being the Orange County- people probably were accustomed to that type of taste and thus A&J had to fit in to their wants. After I wrote about it though, comments were being left on A&J as a whole. San Diego blogger Kirk of Mmm-Yoso said in his comment, "We were underwhelmed with A & J as well....the only thing that was ok was the Kaufu, of all things....." Tony C of SinoSoul said in his comment, "Ban Mu Yuen on Valley is just as atrocious, IMO. The various A&Js have not turned out quality Taiwanese grub since the late 80s IMO... cest la vie?" (Ban Mu Yuan- Chinese pronunciation of A&J's Chinese name) Which left me pretty

Mandarin Noodle Deli (CLOSED)- Temple City: More Dishes and Photos

* PLEASE NOTE : Mandarin Noodle Deli is changing ownership on April 4th, 2010. This information will then be old and the old food may or may not be changing significantly. The current owner plans on taking a break from restaurants now. Please visit in their final days of opening and try out their food! The new restaurant is New Mandarin Noodle Deli . Nowhere as good their previous owner (this post). There is a thing about writing about restaurants again, and then again. Why even do so? Well, things change in life. What was once recent news ( Green Island, for example, with a "new menu" ) is now old, outdated, worthless (Green Island, after a few months of writing the post, had another "new menu")! Kind of like writing in depth reviews of digital cameras. They get outdated in the course of one year, two in the case of D-SLR's. Too fast, I say. Another post on Green Island? No. Yes. No. Yes. No. Mandarin Noodle Deli however, has not changed. The owner is still the
