Young upped his low price haircut from $10 to $12, but I'll still go.  If anyone finds another $10 place, please let me know.

The lady isn't fast, but she is very meticulous.

Check the wait.  It can be long at times.

Ajisen Ramen

Pros
Decent ramen and the gyoza isn't bad either.

Cons
Priced high given the location is a food court.  I was hoping for a slight discount compared to other ramen places since you do not have any of the charm or service.

I wouldn't make a special trip to visit this location, but it's a great place to go if you work nearby or are shopping.

I have a 1994 Toyota pick up.  Passed the smog check with flying colors and it only took me 10 Minutes and $70.

Great selection of People magazines.

Very conviently located to Century City

Good thing the test only took 10 minutes because there is nothing else nearby except for a Ralphs.

I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and found the place empty except for the owners.  The owners are a couple and I found them very friendly and they recommended several great places and restaurants in the area.  The spicey chai tea I ordered was enjoyable.

Pros
- There are glass covered tables that you can see through the floor and to the water.  Awesome.
- The back patio is perfect for sunsets
- The seals make for an entertaining sight.

Cons
Do not, I repeat, do not order any of the fried seafood plates.
Skimped on the cocktail sauce for my shrimp.

I'm just going to address the significant discrepancy issue between the rooms.  The first night I stayed in the Harmony Building, just north of the main lodge.  For the price I paid, I almost cried when I saw the room and hot tub.  It looked right out of 1971.  I had to call maintence to turn on the hot tub because no one knew had to turn the darn thing on and there was no signage posted.  The next night I stayed in one of the many buildings left of the main lodge.  Those rooms were newer and very respectable.   The rooms cost the same, but were leagues apart.  If you plan to reserve rooms with hot tubs, be sure to get the more modern rooms and avoid the Harmony Building, for the love of god!

    if you're looking for a gritty football (soccer for you yanks) club to play with, then look no further.  

    These guys run a +30 men's team and several open 7v7 teams.

    Organized and professional, they are a swell bunch of players.  Not for beginners.
