Both my brothers had curry and my sister-in-law had yakisoba, but I didn't take any pics of their food... :beaten:

speaking of ramen, if you guys are ever in the area

not bad ramen, the place is always busy though, the portions are large and the parking lot sucks. :p i need to go back and try more, but the shiyo ramen was quite good.

More ramen talk: I found out that my brother's brother-in-law's wife's brother's ( figure that out :nut: ) friend is the owner of Orochon ramen... :shocked:

um.. my excoworker's friend's friends and his friend opened the first Shaka's in Monterey park.. :mrgreen:

Hmm, I've never been there... I usually go the The Loft for Hawaiian eats.

A lot of people like King's Hawaiian, but I think it's overrated.

King's is a nice place to sit down and eat with the family or friends from out of town, but yeah, I hear the Loft is much better.

King's does have some really good bakery stuff that The Loft doesn't have, but aside from that.......

No problem. You're welcome. You should check it out. The food and the drinks are of a conspicuously high quality. If you're in to coffee or tea, especially, then you should definitely check it out. Perhaps a tad expensive but they use quality ingredients, organic when possible.

Personally, I love going there. :)

Just checked out the locations and there are none in O.C. (where I live), however, I'm planning to visit my friend who lives in Culver City which is close to the Santa Monica location.... yay!

Speaking of healthy and tasty food, if you visit Culver City often you have to eat at Tender Greens on Culver Blvd. Their salads and food are legendary. I absolutely love that place. If I lived in Culver City I'd go there several times a week.

A quick breakfast....quick because I inhaled it. A sandwich, a side of Brie, and a Japanese green tea latte.
