Thai House
Category: Thai
Neighborhood: Westwood
My gf and I were in Westwood and craving Thai, so we found this place on Google maps.
At first it was a bit awkward since we were the only patrons in the restaurant. It was 6:30 on a Sunday night. However, a few more people trickled in during our meal.
Overall, the food was good. Their red curry was pretty flavorful, but I wasn't too impressed by their Thai House Noodles. I thought the noodles were pretty bland, but the beef and veggies helped. Their thai iced tea was also a little bitter.
Service was friendly and I would eat here again if I lived/worked close by. Seems like a good place for lunch or takeout for dinner.
One odd note: Apparently they don't seem to fond of 10% tips. The 10% tip suggestion was manually crossed out on the receipt, leaving only 15% and 20%. I typically tip in the 15-20% range anyway, but I found this humorously strange... and they did this on 4 receipts! (50/50 split, merchant and customer).

Stroh's Gourmet - CLOSED

It was a Sunday morning with near 100 degree heat. Where else to go but to the beach!
Driving out from the valley, we easily found street parking on Abbot Kinney around 11:30am and headed into Stroh's.
I ordered the Early Riser (fried eggs, cheese, bacon sandwich on a croissant) with avocado. It hit the spot, though next time I'd go I'd like to try a lunch item. All of their sandwiches looked very delicious and healthy.
My gf and I walked to the beach (about 8 min away) and enjoyed our sandwiches there. It was a great way to start what would become a very relaxing day... I would definitely love to repeat the experience!

My car had been making a high-pitch squeal sound a low speeds and was also in need of an oil change. I was about to bring it in to the Toyota dealer when I heard of this place.
Ali (who runs the shop) was very helpful! I explained to him the problems, and he had my car ready within a few hours. No appointment needed! He charged me very honest prices for parts and labor, and I drove away with a generally good feeling.
I know the Toyota dealership would have been much slower and probably more expensive with more bullshit. Ali is exactly what I needed: A fast, honest, and helpful mechanic who has your back!
As long as I'm in the area, I will continue doing business here.

This place is way overpriced, but it's on the Strip so what else would you expect. Also, it's extremely well lit for a steakhouse. I'm used to dim-lighted fancy restaurants, but that's Vegas for ya!
[UPDATE]
After further thought, I demoted this to 3 stars. I would probably never eat here again, mainly because it's overpriced and overhyped. The food was good, but I'd rather go to the Bellagio and enjoy their excellent buffet.
