For some reason, I think the one in pasadena was a lot better. Came here for lunch and was pretty disappointed. The flavor of the kimchee ramen was nothing what I remembered it to be.
The service was good though, the waitress was very nice but when it comes down to it, it's all about the food and quality. The place has nice decor compared to the previous restaurant, but it's just lacking flavor. Up that a bit and this place would be a-ok.

Boss took me here today. I was kind of surprised when I first went in to read a sign that says 'grab a menu and seat yourself'. Took about 5-10 mins for a table, which wasn't so bad for lunch. We started off with the sampler, which had Yucca, Cheese breads, one Coxinha and one Croquete de Camarao. (I forgot which is which but one of them had shrimps and the other had tuna. the sampler was pretty good)
I ordered a beef Stroganoff which was huge. I had fries come with my order so that was pretty darn filling. The sauce was very creamy so I know I couldn't finish the whole thing unless I want a heart attack. The price wasn't too bad either, it was only $11 for the whole plate. Portions were very generous, and I would definitely come back for lunch.
The only problem with this place is parking is pretty bad. But if you come only for an hour, the street behind has 1 hour parking available, which is perfect for lunch hour.

The price was pretty good for lunch special. It was $6.50 for a pizza, a drink, and a small soup.
I got the BBQ chicken pizza, and it was definitely filling. The crust at the end was a bit hard.
All in all, fast delivery, good price for lunch, and very filling. Everything else my coworker ordered was good as well.

Not a fan.. Don't come here late afternoon.. seems like there is always a long line of people.
I tried buying an office chair, and was told was out of stock.. then I tried getting the display piece.. (hey.. if i can get a discount.. why not). The chair was $79.99. The clerk said he's going to check with manager.. never came back. I left afterward and decided I will never come back here.
Luckily, I went online and bought the same chair for $20 less with free shipping.
Only thing good about this place is free parking.

Had a spiced pumpkin freddo, total was $3.75. Wasn't too bad but it was wayyy too sweet. I usually can take sweet stuff but this was way too much for me.
The place is going to be remodeled starting next week.. so there was a lot of things getting moved around while I was there. The wifi there was a bit wonky, but thats probably my computer. Their internet code looks a LOT like p90x. LOL. looks like someone working there is on it. You can get the code by asking the cashier after your purchase. There are plenty of seats outside to sit and use the laptop or read a book. Nice chill spot.

Salsa Sundays -
Since this place is quite far from Santa Monica, it's not a place I would frequent on Sundays. But if you live around this place, it's a great place to go have fun salsa dancing. Besides the $10 parking fee, the dancing here is completely free. YES, FREE. I can't really think of another place that offers free lessons with free dancing every Sunday.
They have a pretty decent size dance floor and the people are all pretty nice.
They have a pretty strict gum policy, so make sure you're not chewing gum or have a pack of gum on you.. they made me throw my brand spankin' new pack away. =(
This place would be a good place if you're out and about at citywalk for the day on Sunday, perhaps catch a movie, catch one of those Dodger dogs, and dance the night away with your significant other.
Fun way to spend a Sunday? You bet.

This place is gorgeous. I usually come when they have promos for free. One of the best ways that I found is by joining the Salsa meetup group http://www.meetup.com/... and sometimes they would have special events where it's free. Parking is always plentiful around LA Live, unless there is a game going on at Staples or Nokia center. I remember they were filming a commercial the last time I came, so outside was a bit of a mess.
The dance floor is so big, you can move so much without worrying about stepping onto people or hitting someone when you're doing a move. As with any clubs, it always depends on the DJ/live band, so when you go during a mediocre night, you're not going to have as much fun.
I also liked the fact that they have TVs to watch sports in case you're taking a break from the dancing and want to catch up on some sports. I would say this place is a good place to take a date, although the last time I tried, the girl ran away because she was too shy to dance. Fail.

The food was ok, but if you come at 2:30pm, they start cleaning up and you really don't get all of the selections coming at you full force as you would when you come at noon.
I just love it how they automatically assume I'm Cantonese, and then when don't respond, they would speak to me in mandarin.. and when I don't respond to that, resort to English.
Some of the bao stuff tasted weird.. but the siu mai and ha gao (don't know what they are called in english) was good. Total for 7 people was $58, so not bad at all.

I came here on Saturday (10/17) to test drive a mini-cooper. All I really wanted to do was just that, and I got that. Came at about 3:30pm, and walked around looking at the cars with a couple of friends. Immediately, Roger, a salesman, came and introduced himself. I started asking him questions and begin looking at the models. He recommended a type S. Got in the car in about 5 mins of getting in there. It was definitely a fun little car to drive. The dealership is positioned perfectly next to the fwy so you can easily hop on the fwy or floor the car in the small side street.
After I was done test driving, Roger showed me his own mini, and I told him to give me his card and that I would consider it. No pressure from him at all. He was very helpful in answering all questions and showed that he actually cared, not like some other sales people that knows you are there for a test drive and nothing else so they don't give you any attention.

Other than that, the room was ok. Bigger than other SF hotel rooms I've stayed in. Since I didn't have any housekeeping the room was just whatever.
I was happy about the internet service though, they have a deal with T-mobile, so it was only $7.99 for a night. Not too shabby considering most hotels charge well above $10 for a 24-hr access.
