First visit was this week, so so far pretty good.

Everyone is really nice and attentive.  No one was trying to sell me anything.  Did get a lot of recommendations, but no pressure to do anything.

Professionally done xrays, and pics.

Dr. McAllister was very nice, and so was his team.   We'll see how things progress, but for now, it was a good experience.

This place used to be called Burrito Brothers... Place is pretty good for kinda fast food mexican food. Especially in this area.  They also have a catering company, who is pretty resonable on price, and food is exceptional!!  There green salsa rivals King Taco's..
This day i had a Green Wet Burrito...  MMm, stewed meat, in green chile sauce, beans and rice, guacamole and some sour cream, wrapped in a hugre flower tortilla, and then drizzled over with more sauce, and cheese...  This burrito was delicious.

Place is always pretty clean. They have a great salsa bar, and the prices are really good.
My burrito and small drink came out to $6 bucks.

Highly recommend.. Just stay away from there fish items.  Last time i had there fish tacos...Ugh, no...

Yum Yum...came here this weekend, with my lady friend :)  I guess she's been coming here for years, so she decided to enrich my life.. Which was actually good, since she told me at first it was Thai food, and as we walk in, i see the sign, "Yazmin MALAYASIAN Restaurant"...LOL!!!  So yes, this place is a Malayasian restaurant...

Inside was really clean, big, and very open. Servers were very attentive.

Food we had:
Curry Mango Chicken +5
Coconut Rice +5
and some stewed meat in coconut juice and other spices (#69) on the menu +4

I also drank there pulled malaysian tea...Oh, that was really good.. If you like frothy teas, you need to try this.  

All in all, very good.  I would definitely come back.

Came here this weekend on a suggestion from my brother.

So here you go.  Pretty cool dive bar, with a live band on the weekends.  Full bar, beers on tap, pool tables in another room, jukebox and a good size dance floor.  The place is pretty lite up. So not your usual darker bar.  They have there own popcorn machine, wihich is always good at a dive bar.
Dress code, uh, there isnt any.  No cover either.
Crowd was pretty mixed.  Age group....mmmm, well more 30-40 year olds, but you had a little of everything, from 21 thru 60...i kid you not.  In that respect, i do enjoy older people boogeying down on the dance floor.

All in all, pretty cool spot. I'd definitely come back.

Came there this Saturday for my friends Bday.  Been living in SG for a long time, but never been to this spot.

So basically heres the just of the place. 3 pool tables in the middle of the place, with a dance floor on one side.   They have a Jukebox, but on this night, since it was a bday, they got a dj to be here, which was actually really good.
No cover, and they allow smoking inside. I didnt see any security, which was kinda weird, but oh well.
They have 8 beers on tap, but only serve them in styrofoam cups. $3 bucks per cup.
Bottle beers they carry are Corona's, Blue Moon, and Bud Light. Those were $3.50 each.
Also sells beers in Pitchers ($10) and bud lights in cans.
They do have a full bar. Drinks are really cheap.

All in all, pretty cool low key spot, that has a lot of potential for more.

First off lets just say, im very picky where i go to the doctors office.  So since i hadnt been to see a doctor in over two years, since we get yearly free physicals at work, I decided it was time to invest on a relationship with a Dr.
So i checked out Yelp, and found Dr. Patel in my surrounding neighborhood.

This place, when walking in was very clean and quiet when i walked in.  The receptionist was really nice, and the nurses were really nice as well.
Dr. Patel was very nice, and warming.  Loves to talk to, so we chatted and it she made me feel at easy..

I hope to grow this Dr/Patient relationship, as she seems very nice.  Would recommend her to the world...Hmm, maybe not, i hate sharing..  LOL..  But then again someone did say, sharing is caring :)

Nice chain restaurants.  This place was pretty clean.  Food was the same as all the other Yoshi's i've experienced, so at least it consistent.  Had a "A" at the door. Cant go wrong with that!!

    Havent been here in a about a years time, but went today, the place has been remodeled on the inside..  Very nice. The bar is longer with a granite counter, new chairs, and more beers on tap.  You got to try this place. Very nice and looks more modern.
    Good place for a date.

    Been there once a couple of months ago, since it opened. Used to be some restaurant that had been there for years. Never went to it, but now that a "brewery" opened up in Downey, i was like, this needs to be checked out.
    So I went with a couple friends.. Decor inside still looks like what the other place used to look like, from pics. So nothing new there, except the 20 or so beer on taps.  Yes they do have a good selection of beers. They also serve food. Food, is once again, just your typical bar food. Nothing too much to talk about. I believe we had the sampler. It was ok.
    As far as it being a brewery, they dont brew there own beer there, but last I heard they were going to.  At the time I went, Angel City Brewery, which is located at Alpine Village, was making them like 4 or 5 special brews. So who knows now, havent been back.  
    Otherwise, for a place to chill and have a couple beers, its good. Plus thats all they serve.  They didnt have a full liquor license at that time.
    Do remember one thing when you go though, " DAS BOOT"...ask and you shall receive..LOL

Pretty cool spot if your in the area..No dress code.  Security is pretty relaxed. Love the decor on the inside.  Food coming around to the tables looked pretty damn tasty.
What i liked, they had a great beer selection, and only $3 dollar pints. Or $5 for the bigger 20oz glass... Great deal.  No cover to get in, since it is a bar/pub.  They have one pool table upstairs.
I came on a Saturday night, so the place was pretty crowded.  Thing i liked was that the bartenders were pretty much on there game at getting everyone served with alcoholic vibations.
Quick tip.  Parking on sunset and vine, which is only one block away is $10 dolla'...does it make ya holla' ?  Well does it?

Pretty cool spot with an array of beers on tap, and full bar.  Food looked pretty good, but they stop serving food after 12pm, so didnt get to taste.
We came on a Sat. and they had a live band playing.  
Love the decor inside, very nostalgic looking.
Bartenders were pretty quick to assist on taking drink orders. No dress code here either.
