Review: Sun City Seafood ★★ 1/2

Roasted Duck 

Egg Tart

Shrimp Rice Roll

These places have been open for some time, yet it only got less than 70 reviews.    There are so many dim sum places in the area, and is not funny anymore.  This place dim sum can be dirt cheat if you manage to follow the requirement, but reality is confusing especially for first timer.  

Their strength is appearing in the dessert like egg tart was very good.   The BBQ mini dish was disappoint, the service was actually pretty for this type of atmosphere, and the cart lady was friendly.  I do wish the quality was better.  I would give this another chance in the near future.

Review: Rutsu 18 ★★★

SHOYU 

Chewy Noodle

Decor

Rutsu 18 is the newest Japanese restaurant in Alhambra, it replaced Tamaya.  Parking is easy; it got its lot and pretty of parking spot in the street.  The Décor have been remodel but is still unfinished.  All the tables and chairs are wood. 

Customer service is friendly, just what you expect from a typical Japanese restaurant.  However they don't greed you like some other Ramen shop.   There was some mistake from the order but was quickly been fixed.

I order the Shoyu Ramen which is reasonable priced at $7.75.  The portion was a bit small; noodle was the chewy one which is usual for Shoyu.  The broth was good and not too salty or oily.  They got sushi and chicken entrée, but no curry that Tamaya one.  Over all is pretty average, but there's definite room for improvement.

Review: Hooters Baja Burger ★★★

Baja Burger with Curly French Fries

1. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.

2. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian faith.

3. Baptists do not recognize each other in the liquor store or at Hooters

This was first time I dine in the Hooters.  It wasn't my first choice but I wanted to get something to eat before the Red Bull Flugtag.  The décor remind me a lot like typical sport bars but with more attractive waitress of course.   Don't bother to ask them straight for the number since they likely get that request like every hour.

The menu price is actually on par with typical sport bar and wasn't as pricey as I though.  We ended up order the Baja Burger with curly fries.    The burger was pretty good, the buns was toasted and the patties was cooked it just about right, only wish they did differently.  I would prefer slice of avocado over the guacamole.  The guacamoles tasted like those pre-made package.  The fries were cold and not fresh, we ask for replacement and they did that in a heart beep.

Overall it kinda meet my expectation, just don't expect high hope this place

Review: Omar's Pizzeria ★★★ 2/3

Puttanesca 18" Pizza

Mild Buffalo Wings

"Ideas are like pizza dough, made to be tossed around." ~ Anna Quindlen

I personally don't eat a lot of pizza, however I have heard a lot of good things about this New York Style Pizza place located in Arcadia.  happened to be in the area and decided to give them a try.

Parking is limited in the plaza, but there's several 30 minute ones, which I can attest is more than enough for this place.  Since this is not a full service restaurant, most orders here are likely coming for takeout. The owner was very friendly and even helped me open the door.

This place is famous for their pizza, so I ordered one called The Puttanesca which has artichokes, mushrooms, and olives.  The artichoke was overcooked and there was a lack of cheese, but the pizza dough was excellent. It was done just right. I also tried their Buffalo Wings, They were pretty good. The price was pretty affordable for what you get. 

There isn't a lot of Pizza Places in the area, so if you're in the mood for it, then this place is definitely worth a try.
