Curly's Lunch

I only had a creamsicle smoothie since I'd already eaten and I was disappointed to find it tasted like banana although it wasn't mentioned in the menu.
Overall it's a cute place and the servers were really patient with my group since we had a little baby with us, but I didn't like the smoothie that much.

I know it's a chain, but this is the original location, so I came in to buy some gifts for my boyfriends parents since we were going to visit them.
Found a bunch of variety, several holiday items were on sale too (score!)
The employee working (Magic?) was really friendly and helpful.

Mini cheesecake had a nice taste, even though we accidentally got the fake-sugar version, but the cream puffs were terrible. Not soft enough.
My boyfriend also tried the apricot tart and he took one bite and left it behind.
Overall not a fan.

Vanessa's Dumpling

Neighborhoods: Gramercy, East Village

Dumplings were good, sesame bun sandwich was good, hot milk tea was good. A little pricey for what it is, but overall fine. Not very comfortable seating, and very cold inside so you won't want to hang around for long, but just grab some food to go!

Happy Time Korean Restaurant

Category: Korean

Just had some yuk gae jang for dinner and the serving was huge and it was so tasty. The beef was tender and there was lots of onion. The restaurant is new and clean. Banchan (side dish) were small, but you can ask for refill on your favorites. Good variety too.

I also noticed they have lunch specials til 3pm M-Sat. I'm definitely going back!

Uchenna

Randomly ran into this place and a though I wasn't really in the mood for Ethiopian food, I gave it a chance. They also had Mediterranean food, so I grabbed a gyro. The gyro wasn't like the ones you'd get a most places. This one had cilantro, green onion, white onion, tomato, lettuce, chopped meat and a flavorful sauce, not tzaziki. Pita was soft and warm.
The rose tea and rose lemonade the owner let me try was delicious and refreshing. It's a quiet and comfortable place to have a relaxed meal--don't go in a rush it seems it's a one-man operation. I'll go again.

The Palm

Categories: Steakhouses, American (New)
Neighborhood: West Hollywood

1/15/2012 1 Check-in Here

Came in for New Years because apparently it was the only place for steak that had last minute reservations. Definitely not my first choice, the decor and menu were a bit dated, and we were in the minority in age and race, but our waiter made us comfortable.
We started with the calamari which wasn't crunchy enough for my taste. The bread they give you is delicious. We all filled up on lots of bread. I had the filet mignon, it was fine. We also had goat cheese whipped potatoes and leaf spinach.
Overall the meal was ok, nothing special.
The service was welcoming and friendly, a good place to take grandparents for a special occasion.

Long wait times, but the pineapple upside pancakes were totally worth it! Fluffy, with light crispiness, deliciously sweet like dessert, but not overpowering. So good!
Service was quick and friendly. I look forward to going again!

All I got was a honey green tea with lychee jelly, but it was just right! Tea was not too strong, honey wasn't too sweet--nice, cool, and refreshing, just like I expect. Perfect!

Santouka Ramen

Category: Japanese

Shio (salt) chasu ramen. Line is super long at lunch time, but didn't take too long to get my food. The broth was delicious, so flavorful, pork was tender, noodles were just right. But damn this place is expensive! You don't even get an egg :( Plus their spoons are terrible! My bf had food from Sky Express so I just sto--borrowed his spoon when he was done with his meal. If you are gonna charge so much at least get better spoons so people can enjoy the soup!
