i-Tea Cafe in Irvine

A Taiwanese style cafe that serves food. Apart eat in area, they also have a counter for take out, which seem to be very popular. Some of the menu were handwritten on paper and sticked to wall. We ordered 2x special menu, both served with free drinks. Food was pretty good, two people for $23. The seating was slightly cramped though.

Mizuki Restaurant in Irvine

We came to this Japanese restaurant to celebrate end of exam for my wife. Not a busy place on a Saturday evening. We ordered a sushi set, caterpillar roll (eels with avocado, please see picture), Kobe beef sushi and New York steak with miso sauce. The caterpillar roll was nice but Kobe beef sushi was a bit tough. The sushi set came with black cod which was tasty. However, service was slow and dinner was pricey, 2 people for a little over $80. We had better sushi with cheaper price elsewhere, so I doubt we will return to this restaurant.

Wooga (우가) at Buena Park

An all you can eat Korean BBQ restaurant in Buena Park, $19.99 per person. It opens till late. Like most all you can eat place, you can't take away leftover food. There are many kind of meat to choose from. A decent place to come when you are hungry!

Strawberry Farms Golf Club

We came to this golf club to find out more info on the course and lessons. We stopped by at the restaurant to have lunch. It has a nice view facing the outdoor driving range. We ordered lunch special - avocado shrimp salad and champion burger. They are both very nice, $30 for two people. Good service as well.

Ikko Japanese Restaurant in Costa Mesa

They labelled themselves as sushi & freestyle Japanese cuisine, and they don't serve American style rolls. We had shrimp with strawberry mousse, grill yellow tail cheek with ginger sauce, salt squid tempura, beef togue etc. Food is very good, but they are at a pricey end. Personally I don't prefer their dim environment. The restaurant is not too visible from the main road. Overall it is a good eat out place for special occasion.

iPho in Fullerton

We ordered well done brisket pho and Pork sandwich. The pho was pretty good. Pork sandwich was marinated, tasty but baguette could be more crispy, it also came with soup. This place is reasonably cheap. Two people for $14. They gave us loyalty card, 10 times is on them.
