Nearly every table was filled at this no-frills comfort food haven when we arrived. Read more from their blog Recommended Dishes: braised tofu with pork, fried intestines, shanghai rice cakes More Photos Class 302 Chinese, Taiwanese \| Rowland Heights 93 93 74 89 08/21/2010 Shaved snow is a very distant cousin of Hawaiian shaved ice. Its unique ribbon-like texture is achieved by freezing huge chunks of flavored water and milk, and then shaving it using a special machine. Read more from their blog Recommended Dishes: caramel pudding shaved snow, green tea shaved snow More Photos Dongbu Live Fish Japanese, Korean, Sushi \| Rowland Heights 93 93 96 85 08/18/2010 Our destination was Dongbu Live Fish, a restaurant specializing in thinly sliced raw seafood known as hwal uh. Dongbu sits in the far corner of strip mall in the same complex as a veterinarian practice and a DIY barbecue joint. It is one of a handful of Korean businesses dotting the city's mostly Taiwanese landscape.

Taking a cue from the truck that started it all, Flying Pig's menu blends Asian and Pacific Rim flavors with French technique.

According to the truck's website, the trio chose to focus on meatballs because of their universal popularity and appeal.

There's a sign posted on the truck claiming that "no Pokemon were harmed during the making of your roll" and a mysterious ninja sneaks in and out of the truck during service. Not to mention, Yatta-! is staffed by some really funny dudes. I must say that it's pretty refreshing to be around an establishment that doesn't take itself too seriously.

The price is $59 for adults and $29.50 for children.

Nguy?n Hoàng in San Gabriel a few months back with a group of friends and found it tasty enough to bring me in for a taste. We arrived at the restaurant on the later side of dinner and found the place still humming on a Saturday night. Read more from their blog Recommended Dishes: ca kho to, canh chua, muc xao mam ruoc More Photos Fortune Cookies Cantonese, Chinese \| Hollywood 80 80 80 80 07/22/2010 Sharing a particularly rundown block with 7 Days Swap Meet, the restaurant looked like a complete disaster from the outside. The California sun had clearly taken its toll on both the roof and signage, while the bold promises of chow mein and chop suey seemed dated and out of touch. Honestly, I was a bit frightened by the joint, but also deeply intrigued. Read more from their blog Recommended Dishes: chow mein, fried rice, chop suey More Photos Viet Noodle Bar Vietnamese \| Griffith Park 85 85 85 85 07/07/2010 Viet Noodle Bar serves a hodgepodge of Vietnamese dishes to a hip and trendy crowd. According to the Los Angeles Times article “Inspired by a World of Ingredients”, the restaurant’s owner, Viet Tran, traveled across North Vietnam for five years and studied noodle-making and soy milk-making in little villages. Viet Soy Cafe in Silverlake and Viet Noodle Bar were inspired by his experiences abroad.
