Rennie C.'s Profile

Milk n' Honey is a small cafe located on the first floor of the KB on the corner of Wilshire and Veteran. I wished it was located on the first floor of my building. The owner is friendly and accomodating when it comes to the food. They have lunch specials every day but Korean short ribs and bibimbap are standard on Tuesday and Thursday. Seriously, where else are you going to find Korean food on this side of Wilshire? Now if they would only add soondubu or dim sum to their menu, I would eat their everyday.

Here are a list of my favorites:

Sunrise Skillet - I love the hashbrowns, reminds me of McDonalds and I love McDonalds hashbrown. I know it's greasy but I like it. Don't judge me.

Thursday Special - Bibimbap

Turkey Burger

Texan Burger - bacon, jalapeno, guac, swiss cheese, bbq sauce, lettuce & tomato (yes I copied that straight from the menu).

I highly recommend that you order ahead of time. Since they actually have to cook the food, you probably don't want to wait for it there.

I don't think I'll go out of my way for the drinks at Honeyboba, but I do think it's an exceptional substitute for those craving Half & Half while hanging out in Arcadia. I ordered the same drink here as I do normally at H & H, which was the ice milk with honey boba and pudding. I prefer the pudding at H & H, but I like that there is less ice in the drink at here. The honey boba itself is almost identical. The line at honey boba is lot shorter though, and they pump out the drinks twice as fast too.

The food is pretty gross. Too much sauce, too much msg, the fruits look rotten. I don't ever want to come back here again.

This was by far the worst place that I have ever been to for afternoon tea. It was so bad, that I felt that it was important to haul my labtop down to the hotel lobby to write my 1 star review of this place. We ordered the full tea set and everything aside from the tea, which was average, was bad. The scone was hard and stale. My friend banged her scone on the table a couple times and it still stayed in tact. The slices of bread on the mini sandwiches were hard, not toasted hard, but more like it had been left out all day uncovered hard.

Now serving bad food is one thing, but when customers complain, the restaurant staff should not make lame excuses. Why would they tell a customer that the bread was toasted when it obviously wasn't. Shouldn't the bread be somewhat warm if it was toasted? And why in the world would you toast the sandwich bread for afternoon tea. Also, why would they feel it was okay to tell us that the scone was basically hard and stale because we should have ate it right when it was brought out of the oven. Well we would have, if it did come straight from the oven. Obviously, that wasn't choice for us. When we explained to the owner why we didn't like the food, she opened her arms and gestured to all the other people sitting in her restaurant who didn't seem to have any problems. Maybe everyone else knew better and stayed away from the scones and sandwiches.

I'm so disgusted with the afternoon tea from this place. Bleh.

The food is meh and overpriced. The service is slow. Why the building management folks thought it would be a good idea to lease the space to these people? I have no idea.

A coworker went to buy milk downstairs and the owner sniffed the milk in front of before to make sure it didn't go bad. Seriously? Gross. What happen to the expiration date on the milk carton? I'm sure it came with one. Organic is not always healthier when the owners don't even know if the food is rotten or not.

I wish they would just leave already. Oh and I didn't want to give them 1 star.

The sushi chef is so cute. He's like the uncle or grandpa  that everyone wants. He smiles and indulges you with fine sushi, or what he views as fine sushi anyways. From my brief 10 second scan of their menu, they seem to keep things simple. Not a philly cheese roll in sight, not that I would order it even if it was on the menu. I was so hungry I don't really know how we ordered. I believe my friends just told the chef to make us whatever he thought was good which was fine with me.

Now as for the quality of the sushi that I ate tonight? It was okay.

I must agree with a lot of the Yelp reviews that this place really is a hit or miss. While I really did enjoy the salmon curry and spicy spaghetti, the crab won ton was just meh. If you're coming here for dinner, make sure to call ahead to make a reservation. It gets very busy. It would suck if you're one of the unlucky ones to have order something from the menu that is not so great and had to wait in line for god knows how long.

I had dinner with a couple of friends last night at The Den of Hollywood last night. Overall I think this was a pretty fun place to hang out with friends and have a couple of drinks with some appetizers. The place was bustling with a good Saturday night crowd and everyone seemed to be having a good time.

Now as for the food, which is always my main concern, was decent. We ordered the Angry Mac, sweet potato fries, pork belly tacos, slider trio, tamales, market salad, wild mushroom tamales, bread pudding with nutella and strawberry shortcake. I know that sounds like a lot, but there were five of us and most were appetizers. My favorite dishes were the sweet potato fries and the angry mac. I would stay far far away from the strawberry shortcake and the tamales next time. The strawberry shortcake tasted like over cooked pancakes that someone stuck in the refrigerator and the tamales didn't taste like anything at all.

If I was in the area, I would come back again.

The Daily Brew is a quiet and spacious coffee house on Montebello Blvd. I've only been here once, ordered one cup of iced hazelnut latte, and I think I'm in love? Is that possible just after one cup? I guess so. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I think this would be an ideal place to sit back, enjoy some coffee, and read a book. Perhaps bring laptop to do some studying or just chill with friends. I'll be back. Next time I'm going for the Mexican hot chocolate that everyone seems to be raving about.

All the meat you can eat for $16.99, I don't know what more you can ask for. Hmm...better ventilation perhaps? Maybe a bigger parking lot?

The service was Asian attentive. Our empty plates of meat were replenished pretty quickly. I just wished they would bring us the right order of meat. It was almost like they brought us one correct order for every two that we didn't order. LOL. No complaints really.

I highly recommend making a reservation if you're planning on eating here for dinner tho. The place was bustling and the line was long.
