I only tried 1 thing here... PROTEIN STYLE BURGER...

Where I'm from we have NO In-N-Out... so this place is somewhat foreign to me. Been to another location in SoCa beforel... this location is tucked away in Westwood.

So.... I had the protein style burger... meaning no carbs which is a good thing I suppose for people like me looking for "healthy choices" when going to a fast food joint.

This place seems to always attract people... long lines, inside and espeically outside.

They're open until 1am...

This is my first experience with a lettuce wrap hamburger... not sure if other places offer it either...

I know of 1 particular person who LOVVVVVEEESSSSSS the 4x4... and probably consumes a couple a week.... and NO he's skin and bones. He would argue with me and give this place 5 stars! But if he has something to say about my 2 star rating then he should sign up for a yelp account and speak for himself.

2 stars for me

DISCLAIMER: In-N-Out is heart attack central! BEWARE.

I had their grilled chicken salad today and  the other week. It's pretty standard. I wouldn't come out of the way to eat here, but at the time it was conveniently right next to the SMC campus, so it was a walk away.
This place looks like it's been here for awhile. They have indoor seating. They speak spanish there. Try to pay with cash if you can, they charge a fee for using plastic. Their grilled chicken salad is filling... carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes with ranch dressing.
As for their fast food... I can't voice for it... but I know their chili fries looks like a heart attack on a plate!

I love this place!

I use to come here years ago when I lived on the island. I used to stop by to check out the guy in the back.. that sells cement statues of buddahs, etc. I'm a huge fan of his goods. I even scored couple amazing bonzai plants too from this one vendor, too bad they died!

Local flavor all the way... food, people & crafts!

-1 star since it's been over 4 years since I last visited, so I don't know what it's like now days...

Miss coming here on sundays!

If you're visiting the island and you're in the area on a Sunday, stop by and check it out!!!

Came here in August... while visiting for the summer...

I came here for breakfast one morning because I was craving the taro corn beef patties! Well... they didn't have the things to make it, so I ended up getting the standard bacon and eggs.

I use to come here alot years ago when the office I worked at was next door... I use to like their corn bread. The fried rice is OKAY.

on the pricy side.

I won't be back! I'm dissapointed!

If you're visiting Hilo, stop by here and experience local kine grindz for yourself. lots of variety. parking is free.

Love this location! Lots to choose from.

I enjoyed their SF collection! I picked up cool HK SF postcards and a SF HK plush when I visited in May.

They have punchcards, so ask for one if you make a purchased.

I walked to this location since I was staying in Union Sqaure.

Hope to visit this location again. I'm a HK junkie/collector so I'm a huge fan of any Sanrio!

Hello Kitty heaven!

One of the girls I dance with works here and told me that I should check out this spot...

Very unique one of a kind place. Never been to any place like this before... and I will return for more...

I went to to royal/t today for three apples... 35th annniversary for HK.
I wish I knew about this place sooner... the cafe would be my once a week visit for sure.

I didn't have time to eat lunch here like I wanted to because I spent literally all morning... standing in line from 730am waiting in line for the doors to open at 10am for todays event.

I'm giving royal/t 5 stars... for HK heaven... and style, style, style!

I plan on coming back in a month for lunch...

Parking is okay... I did meters... bring coins!!!

Royal/t is so kawaii!!!!

came here the other night... as a second resort to my first choice... which doesn't carry certain items...

I'm a fan of the ralph's card, saving money is always a good thing! If you don't have one, sign up when you check out, fast, easy and free.

I came here for cabbage, blueberry begals and provolone cheese (pretty decent price). I know, pretty random. But these are items, I can't get at the place where I shop. Love their asian section too!

Big parking lot... parking isn't an issue and it's free. Close to the freeway.

I'm a fan!

Came here for dinner last night. It was my first...
I was hoping to give more then 2 stars...  but I was let down...

I had the gyro pita and fries. It was okay, the pita was okay, but the meat was chopped up in small pieces, it was pretty sad looking. The talziki sauce was on the thick side, had better. I'm not into fries... and it was really oily. I also had to try the baklava... to see if it was good... it was really sweet!

Parking in Westwood is not the greatest... street parking if you're lucky. They close at 9pm on the weekday and 8pm on the weekends.

Casual place. they have a meal deal at night till closing... $6. which is a good deal.

I wasn't impressed and won't be back... it was worth a try... but my heart still belongs to... my favorite greek spot ___________.

2 stars for great effort, free water and a meal for 2 under $20.

I HEART SNOWMASS!!!!

Came here Valentines weekend 2009. This is my #1 spot so far!

So many lifts to choose from! It's endless!

My favorite: Elk Camp Gondala...  and going down the funnel!
Makaha park was pretty cool too... lots of tables.

We were the first ones to bomb down the run we were on... It's fun when no one is on the path... So go early! Get there before they open!

Snowmass got it going on! The runs were nice and pretty. perfect packed powder!

Great place to eat on the top...

This is snowboarding heaven!

99 Cent Only Store

I love the .99 cent store! Just was here last night.

I don't care for this location compared to the other... this one is smaller and don't have alot of variety, but still is worth going to.

But they do have everything from A-Z here, so you can't complain.
Food & house supplies... all for .99!

Parking can be a problem, but they have extra parking across the street. Bring your own recycable bags!

4 stars!
