"This is definitely a peculiar place, to say the least. They display their menu outside, presumably to attract passersby. After walking by this restaurant countless times, I finally decided to take a look at the menu and step inside for a meal or takeout after work on June 11, 2019. When I entered, the host, an older woman in her late 40s or 50s, asked if I was a hotel guest. When I replied that I wasn't, she simply informed me that they don’t serve food to customers from outside or to non-guests. I specifically asked, "So, is the restaurant only for hotel guests?" To which she nodded and confirmed, "Yes." This is just so strange! I don’t understand why you would have your menu prominently displayed if you aren’t open to outside customers. It’s truly baffling! I would recommend saving your time and money and not bothering to go there!"

Pelican's Snoballs Seabreeze

➤ 7617 Carolina Beach Rd, 28409, Wilmington, US, United States

---

"We visited the Seabreeze location right before the Carolina Beach bridge this past week, and we have to say that the staff there was exceptional. Younger teams often get a bad reputation in customer service, but as two individuals who have spent most of our lives in this field, we always feel compelled to acknowledge good service. The three employees—two young men and one young woman—were an ideal fit for their roles. They encouraged us to take our time, offered suggestions, and informed us about an upcoming event next weekend. They were friendly, engaging, and genuinely seemed to enjoy their jobs. And the Snoballs were just as amazing! We can't wait to come back!"

Urban Seoul

➤ 2750 Alton Pkwy, Irvine, CA 92606, United States

Sushi • Asian • Tapas • Korean

"When Seoul meets stomach. A few weeks back, our team spent a portion of the afternoon dining at Urban Seoul in Irvine. This location is semi casual compared to their second restaurant at the Irvine Spectrum. The inside is relatively small, with a variety of tables and booths lining the walls. Outside there is also 2 3 patio seats. We opt'd to sit on their high top patio tables to get some extra needed sunlight. Since the menu looks absolutely delicious, we ordered a smorgasbord to share! This included: Street Corn my all time favorite item. Garlic, cheese, and yummy spices all mixed in with corn. This creamy corn was absolutely delicious and the perfect appetizer. Pork Belly Street Tacos this dish comes with three tacos with your choice of meat. The tacos are topped with lettuce, house sauce, and spicy aioli. Since I'm a bit of a wimp, I exchanged the spicy aioli for garlic sauce. Crabby Patty my god. I've always wondered what a Crabby Patty would taste like and Urban Seoul's did not disappoint. This sandwich is filled with fresh tasty crab, arugula, lemon aioli, pickled Serrano chili, meshed between a brioche bun. Waffle Fries you can never go wrong with fries! These loaded waffle fries were topped with spicy aioli, gogi, mixed cheese, herbs, and pickled red onion. Every item here was absolutely fantastic and left us wanting more. The service was also attentive, and our server consistently went out of his way to customize items to my spice level."

Cowboy Cafe

➤ 17823 Colima Rd, 91748, City Of Industry, US, United States

Cafés • Steak • Casual • Taiwanese

---

"This individual Taiwanese restaurant specializes in iron plate kitchens featuring a variety of proteins. I will not provide detailed commentary on the dishes as they are quite similar. The price for my meal was $15.25, not including tips. I opted for a combination plate with steak and fried rice. The portion size was generous for the price, but the quality of the meat was only average. However, considering the portion size, it made up for the mediocre quality. The service was lacking, with no greeting or table touch. I had to seat myself after standing at the entrance, where I was then directed to find my own table and menu. The salad and garlic toast were disappointing, with the salad tasting like sugary water and the toast being plain. Overall, this restaurant seems more suited for a quick and budget-friendly meal rather than a dining experience."

Kurry Qulture

➤ 36-05 30th Ave Astoria, NY 11103, 11103-4364, United States

Tea • Pasta • Pizza • Indian

---

"This is my favorite Indian restaurant in NYC, spanning all boroughs. The restaurant has a modern and clean atmosphere, the staff is welcoming, and the menu is a perfect blend of modern and authentic flavors - a combination that few can pull off successfully. Moreover, it's authentic. You must check out this place! My partner and I are Indian, so you can trust our recommendation for credibility."

Manila Express Llc

➤ 1108 E Hammer Ln, 95210, Stockton, US, United States

Tea • Bakery • Catering • Ice Cream

"This business is not new, contrary to what some reviews stated earlier. They used to be a block away, in a smaller space, by the old Jollibee, which is now a chicken/fish joint, near Walgreens. Same offerings, just a lot more space for the grocery items, which competes with the many Asian stores in our area. What stands out is they have a variety specific to Filipino snacks like Skyflakes as soon as you walk in and an All Day menu of cooked foods, which is what I look for in a go to Filipino place to satisfy cravings of foods I am capable of getting at stores to cook at home, but just want to grab and eat. Although the menu has so many combos of the same items listed, when I asked for a variation of one of the combos, the young lady on the phone taking my order couldn’t veer from the choices along with me. I prefer when people know their stuff and can work with me like, “sure I can substitute ‘this for that’ on this order!” If you want Goldilocks brand cakes, they have their famous mocha and ube rolls in the freezer, and some mango cake that I imagine would be good. I hope to order some party trays in the near future of Filipino spaghetti and BBQ sticks. Hope they continue to improve their customer service and retain their place in this community."

Purple Kow

"The staff was a bit slow; even though there wasn't anyone in line, it took a while for them to prepare my drink. I opted for half sugar, but it turned out to be too sweet for my taste. I'd recommend sticking to a maximum of 25% sugar, or even no sugar, especially given the amount of boba they include. Keep in mind, there's only street parking available. I’ll definitely return, now that I know how to adjust the sweetness!"

"I had some fantastic snow cones here! I tried the mango with cream and it was delicious. The green apple with cream was excellent as well. Be sure to stop by and let Cheynne help you with your order. The customer service is outstanding, and the atmosphere is very inviting. I will definitely return!"

Inakaya Watanabe

➤ Saint Andrews Road, Lexington County, 29210, United States Of America, Columbia

Asian • Sushi • Japanese • Ice Cream

---

"The food remains excellent, but the service and atmosphere have declined from their previous standards. Upon my arrival, there was no one at the hostess stand to welcome me, and it took a while before anyone came to take my drink or food order, despite it being around 7 PM on a Saturday when the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. The waiting area had been repurposed into a space for preparing take-out orders, making it feel quite disorganized. In the past, that area would have been bustling with guests waiting for tables at that time on a Saturday. I sat at the sushi bar and was thoroughly impressed with both the sushi chefs and the food, which were fantastic. If they could improve the efficiency of the dining room staff and tidy up the waiting and take-out preparation area, this restaurant could easily be a five-star establishment."

Lollicup

➤ 3197 S Redwood Rd, Salt Lake City I-84119-5675, United States

Tea • Pub • Drinks

---

"I enjoy exploring different boba shops, and I absolutely loved this one! It was my first visit to Lollicup, and I tried the Taro snow with coconut flavoring instead of creamer, a Strawberry Green Tea, and their special Pistachio blended drink. All of them were bursting with incredible flavor. The taro was perfectly sweet, just how I like it, with a thick and smooth texture, similar to the pistachio drink. The Strawberry Green Tea tasted very fresh and not overly sweetened, allowing the natural flavors of the tea and strawberry to shine through. The boba was cooked perfectly – chewy in the best way possible. It's now one of my top three favorites, alongside Bonzai and Tea Bar. Additionally, the woman working there was very friendly and happily explained any menu items I had questions about. I will definitely be coming back for more!"

"The food and hookah were amazing! The owner was really friendly too. As an Israeli, I'm not sure what the other reviews are talking about, but my experience was fantastic. Since I have projects in the area, I definitely plan to return in the future."

Dumpling Dojo

➤ 16 Glen Rd, 07070, Rutherford, United States

Kebab • Seafood • American • North American

"Our server was pleasant and friendly. My daughter humorously kept whispering that she looked like Mirabel from Disney's Encanto. Now, let’s discuss the food. Honestly, it was just an okay experience—worth a one-time visit at best. The dishes looked appealing, but the flavors didn't really stand out. I tried the Szechuan wontons versus the Shanghai wontons. I went with the Shanghai wontons, but they weren’t tasty enough for a repeat order. The wonton skins lacked that smooth, silky texture I was hoping for. Between the pork belly bun and the short rib bun, I highly recommend the pork belly bun. This one stood out—unlike other places, it featured shredded pork belly rather than a single large slice. The sauce was flavorful and delicious. The short rib bun, however, was quite disappointing; the short rib was dry and bland. The short rib French onion bowl with ramen was also underwhelming. While the portion of short rib was decent, it lacked tenderness, and the soup base didn’t taste authentic. As for the kids' meal chicken cutlet bowl, the chicken was thin and tough. My husband and I struggled to chew it, and I felt bad for my five-year-old. She ended up having the lo mein, which was really more like stir-fried udon. Again, not great; it didn’t compare to the delicious stir-fried udon I’ve had elsewhere. Overall, the pork belly bun is the only standout dish I’d consider ordering again."

"I recently dined at this restaurant for dinner and found the price per person to be around $10-20. The food was excellent, I give it a 5 out of 5 rating. The service was good, receiving a 4 out of 5 rating, and the atmosphere was also pleasant, with a rating of 4. I highly recommend trying their cheeseburger!"

Musu

➤ 304 Sea Cliff Ave, 11579, SEA CLIFF, United States

Sushi • Asian • Seafood • Japanese

"Last night, my family and I dined at Musu Sushi in Sea Cliff. This pop-up restaurant is only open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings. I discovered it in a local newspaper article the day before and was intrigued by its backstory. The Executive Sushi Chef, Roy Kurinawan, had to leave for Japan and ended up extending his stay there. The restaurant decided they would only reopen once he returned, which made me think he must be exceptionally talented for them to wait for him like that. And indeed, the food was fantastic! The sushi selection was incredibly fresh, the fish-to-rice ratio was spot-on, the vinegar flavor in the sushi rice was delicately pronounced, and everything was beautifully presented. They had two sushi specials: seared salmon toro and medium-grade bluefin tuna toro. We ordered both, and they were exquisite! I do have two suggestions for improvement: (1) I wish they served freshly grated wasabi from the root; and (2) I would love to see a cola option among their sugar cane soda choices (I know, I'm that person who enjoys Coke with sushi instead of sake). I'm always searching for exceptional sushi restaurants on Long Island, and I can definitely see Musu becoming one of my favorites."
