Looking for a place to eat?

This is a list of restaurants my friends and I have eaten at over the years - most of them are located around the Los Angeles area but I've begun to post places in my new locale - New York (mostly Long Island and NYC areas as well as some places in Upstate New York). Some may not be the same anymore but some of them are, so take a chance and a risk. :) If you've been to some of these, feel free to add your own comments. Oh, and ratings are out of 5 loaves. :) Yum-yum! Let's eat!

Shik Do Rak

Location: Los Angeles (Olympic and Hoover).
Type of food: Korean.

This place's specialty is something called "Dduk boh ssam". You grill your own meat and then place it on this thin slice of rice cake called "dduk", put some sauce on it, wrap it up, and eat it. Very yummy! Sylvia also likes this fish dish called "eun daegu johrim". It's broiled fish with spicy (and I mean SPICY!) sauce; the radish and the tofu are especially delicious in this dish because it has soaked up all the flavor of the sauce. Service is pretty good...for a Korean restaurant. Price range: $10-20. Rating: 5 loaves.

The Stinking Rose

Location: Los Angeles (La Cienega and 6th).
Type of food: Italian.

If you love garlic with a hint of Italian, then this is the place to go. For those who prefer Italian with a hint of garlic, this would probably not be your place to go. The food is alright, but the presence of garlic may be too overpowering for some. Love the decor! Price range: $10-20. Rating: 2.5 loaves.
