3D nail art is the bizness! BUT it don't come cheap! Let's put it this way, you get what you pay for and I think it's worth every penny. I absolutely loved my nail design. I got 4 designs; 2 on each hand along with tip design on all nails. My total came out to $34.
I was able to call very last minute and book an appt within 30 minutes. Luckily I was seated with the best nail design specialist there. Perhaps it was my lucky day, whatever it is, it kept me coming back. FYI: Nail Specialist is now working at The Nail Factory.

I'm a sucker for tacos. I LOVE TACOS. I'm always on a mission to find a kick ass taco truck or hole in the wall authentic taco joint. So when my coworker insisted I try La Cueva, I gladly accepted the challenge.
I only order tacos, so if you decide to order anything else, don't come crying to me. I'm totally Americanized too... all I want in my tacos is asada, cheese, and hot sauce. I'm not a big fan of cilantro. Tacos aren't bad. They aren't the best, but for $1.25... they're friggin awesome! The hot sauce they provide is pretty darn good making the tacos taste even better with some lime. Fortunately, in my experiences here, the meat was never dry or bland... perhaps Monday to Friday lunch hours are the best times to go?
Had a few bites of my coworkers nachos... not too shabby, but then again you can't really screw up nachos.... or can you?

2 words: SENORITA BREAD.
Filipino bakery with all the goodies. However, I only ordered the senorita bread, so it's all I can vouch for. 25 pieces for only $10!! It makes a great breakfast or afternoon snack. LOVE IT! It tastes best when its fresh out the oven.

Category: Burgers
Burgers aren't bad. They offer all you can self-served unsalted peanuts while you wait for your order. The menu is pretty simple, like In-n-Out, but with more Toppings options. All toppings are FREE... which I think is pretty awesome. It woulda been nice to see egg as an extra topping. The fries were awesome... they leave the skin on. yum. There isn't too much to say about a burger joint. The burgers are not thee best... nor are the greatest I've ever had, but they are pretty good if you need to satisfy a craving for a low price.

California Shabu-Shabu
Category: Japanese
I just got back from dinner here. Food was great. I don't know what some reviewers are talking about. They provide you with peanut sauce and ponzu as well as additional seasonings to spice up your pot the way you prefer it rather than ordering a pot pre-seasoned with broth or miso. I love how the meat is sliced to order and sliced in front where everyone can see. Veggies were fresh too.
We had an unfortunate hiccup in our first experience at CA Shabu Shabu that would have set this place back to a 2 star rating. Gnats were attacking our dinner! The staff immediately replaced any dishes that were tainted by the pesky bugs. They even moved us to another area and shut down the front burners that face the entrance. They comped our meal and were very apologetic and assured us this never happens. The staff at CA Shabu Shabu take extreme pride in customer service and satisfaction and they certainly proved that with us tonight. The service alone is worth 5 stars! Nothing better than to eat at a restaurant where the staff can show their customers a bit of sympathy and compassion when things go wrong.
The extremely great service and fresh food will definitely keep me coming back for a second, third, and fourth visits and more!

Baja Sharkeez
Categories: Nightlife, American (New)
Neighborhood: Hermosa Beach
I liked Sharkeez up until last Wednesday night.
We went to celebrate my friend's birthday. The crowd was great and despite being the middle of the week, it was poppin'. The DJs play hella old skool (mid to late 90s) mixed with some new skool. It wasn't bad... they had a good crowd groovin' on the dance floor. I love the crowd, everyone just wants to have fun.
Anyway, what ruined the night was a rude bartender. My girls and I tried to order shots of Hennessy, but apparently Sharkeez isn't a "fully stocked bar" because they don't carry that or any other brand of cognac.
What pissed me off was rather than saying, "Sorry we don't carry that, what else can I get you?"... he made a RUDE RACIAL comment and snubbed us. WTF kind of attitude is that!?! We didn't want to ruin the birthday girl's night, so we migrated to the other end of the bar, ordered our non-cognac drinks from a different bartender and made the best of the night.
Knowing that someone like that is employed there absolutely turns me off. It sucks, because I liked that place too.

I have major food coma... so this will be a short one. Just got back and my oh my... it was delish.
The Boy and I split the Half & Half (Washu Gyu & Kobe Beef "Rib Eye") and also added an add'tl order or Washu Gyu... so I guess we got something more like 2 to 1. Also had a bowl of rice and udon for 2.
Everything was delicious. i love their dipping sauce... the ponzu looking one... I'm horrible at remembering names (of food and people). It had a tanginess to it... add a lil chili powder... game on!
I'm docking one star b'coz I wasn't happy with the Crème brulée. It just wasn't that good. Tasted like custard pudding. I should have quit while I was happily satisfied with the shabu shabu. Oh well... my eyes and tastebuds won 2 to 1 (my full tummy).
For Shabu for 2 people... our bill came to about $75. Not too shabby shabby.

Shin Sen Gumi Yakitori
Category: Japanese
Neighborhoods: Harbor Gateway, Torrance
First time I ate here was back in May 2008. I had never experience this type of dining; Yakitori. The ambience was very authentic Japanese. The waiters and waitresses were very friendly and humorous. It was a bit pricey for my taste considering that the portions are small. There were six of us too, so it was rare to get a second helping of one plate. Nonetheless, it was a good experience. Perhaps again to introduce someone else to the style.
The food was good. Most of it was either grilled or fried. It was all "finger food" like, small plates with 4 or 5 pieces mostly on sticks. Some of the items we ordered that I enjoyed were asparagus wrapped in bacon, a type of mint wrapped in bacon, salted chicken, chicken meatballs, potato croquettes, and deep fried cheesesticks.
