Uncle Fatih’s Pizza

August 9, 2019 0

The medium pizza at Uncle Fatih's is $17 each. With tax, tips, and delivery fee it is approximately $24 per pizza. This price is more expensive than authentic pizzeria. This is when I realize delivery pizza are not cheap eats. Looking at delivery pizza alone, Uncle Fatih's Pizza's price is at mid-range. The pizza quality is at above average. This makes them worth our recommendation. We ordered the thin crust pizza. It is soft and fluffy. The bottom and the outside crust was crunchy. It is not bouncy, and is easy on the jaw. This is like factory made bread, not artisan. However, this is New York style pizza. We should not compare the style with Neapolitan pizza. Comparing to other similar delivery pizza. Uncle Fatih's pizza crust is not as oily as Pizza Hut. It is also not as dry as Domino. It's more airy than Papa John's. Overall, Uncle Fatih's Pizza crust is quite superior overall.

Sushi Mura, Korean Japanese Restaurant

August 8, 2019 0

I do enjoy the food here for its taste. However, when a someone call themselves a "Japanese Restaurant" I critique them using Japanese Restaurant standard. With this set of criteria, Sushi Mura is not good restaurant. They did not carry any of the Japanese culture, finesse, or belief. Sushi Mura feels like an operation of some Korean guys jumping on the "Japanese Food" band wagon to make some quick cash.

Egg and Co Brunch Smoked Meat Benny Inside

Egg & Co. Brunch

August 7, 2019 0

I apologize for having to be so blunt and straight forward. The hashbrown is simply dreadful. The exterior is not crunchy. It feels like they have been fried and left aside for a while before it's served. The interiors are all dried out. I could almost choke on them. Of course, the expensive and non-refillable coffee did not help. Ikea makes better hashbrowns than Egg & Co. I love hashbrowns, and it is very rare that I cannot finish the hashbrown.

Yuan’s Chuan Chuan Xiang Hot Pot, Skewers in Hot Pot

August 3, 2019 0

We ordered some skewers. They were $10 per 10, so $1 per skewer. When I bite into it, the meat doesn't break off easily. I think they were using the leftover part of the cow. The textures are not consistent. There are bits of pockets of meat among the webs of something really difficult to chew. I was not impressed.

Bing and Noodle World

July 31, 2019 0

Look at this picture and tell me how thick you think the soup is. Bing and Noodle World's signature hulu noodle looks like vomit in a bowl. There is a lot of starch added to the soup. All the toppings are chopped to the point that I cannot recognize what they are. The noodles are overcooked, kind of matching the texture of the soup. I honestly cannot tell if I am eating the soup or the noodle. The thick soup does a good job at retaining heat. This bowl of noodle burned my mouth multiple times. Perhaps it's a good bowl of noodle during Winter, but I did not enjoy it during my visit.
Bing and Noodle World specialize in stuffed pancake, which is the first word of their name "Bing". You would think they should be very confident in their stuffed pancake to call themselves as such.
To be complete honest, the stuffed pancake is not bad. They have thin and sturdy crust. The filling thickness are easily 3-5 times thicker than the crust. Perhaps it's the filling I ordered, there is a strong moldy smell to my stuffed pancake. I don't know what to make of it, but I won't be ordering this dish again. You are welcome to go and try the moldy pancake.

Grand Dynasty Seafood Restaurant Steamed Ribs

Grand Dynasty Seafood Restaurant, Dim Sum

July 22, 2019 0

Grand Dynasty Seafood Restaurant is considered a mid-level Dimsum place. The cost is $20 per person price point used to be really worth it when they spend the time to take care of their food quality. This is no longer the case. Dim Sum is considered Southern Chinese cuisine, and they should be delicate. Yes, there are cheap and large dim sum places in town, but you don't get to charge a high price and give low quality food. There are even insects flying around my food when I was eating. Not worth it, not recommended.

Moii Cafe, Japanese Crepe

July 21, 2019 0

Just a sneak peak of what's inside. Whenever there's chicken, we can see a lump from the outside. Cheese has been fully melted. Chicken can be a bit dry. Moii Cafe has changed its serving plate from porcelain to composite wood. Although the wooden plate is flat, I think this is a good business decision. The hot crepe naturally sticks to the bottom. Their knife is not super sharp. I guess the porcelain plate and knife created too much squeaking sound. This shows the store manager paid attention to finer details in the store.

Li’s China Grill, BBQ Skewers

July 19, 2019 0

Li's China Grill is not as good as before. The decrease in food quality is very apparent. The price is still pretty high though. Our bill comes to $30 per person and we did not order a lot of food. Taste-wise, this is still an okay BBQ skewer place. Having Happy Tree House BBQ and Kuan Zhai Road Restaurant in close proximity, Li's China Grill has an uphill battle ahead of them. Not recommended, there must be better BBQ skewers place somewhere else.

Sip Bowl La Mian, Chinese Ramen

July 14, 2019 0

Sip Bowl Signature Beef Noodle bowl looks quite flat, almost unappetizing. It has lots of noodles, a large amount of green onion and chives, a few pieces of thinly sliced daikon, and 4 pieces of thinly sliced beef. However, when I started eating it, the triangular shaped noodle was very well done. It's a little softer than I'd liked, but superb compared to the majority of noodle places in town. I can feel the bounciness on my teeth when I bite into them. The soup was delectable with a slight taste of savory, not very complex though. The beef was a bit too salty but goes well with the rest of the bowl.
