I'm a regular customer here. Been coming to Chadaka for nearly 3 years. This place never disappoints. I particularly enjoy sitting at the half-moon bar for a drink and dinner on weeknights. The food is fresh and fabulous, the ambiance is trendy yet cozy, and the owner there is incredibly attentive. Lychee martinis are to die for, and it also makes for a great date spot, too! As far my fav dishes go, I would probably say Crab Noodels & Crying Tiger... I have referred so many friends to this place and all have been very pleased. Check it out for yourself!
Pros: Ambiance, HappyHour (esp w/ bartender Nate), Delicious Food

What made it special or unique? The ambiance, delicious meats, the wonderful aroma of the food cookin throughout the restaurant - that was a unique smell to it unlike any others. The decor was very nicely designed. The cozy bar area has a plasma TV and decorated in a dark wood which reminds me of the show "Cheer's. I'll stop in one day and have a drink . The hot & cold food buffet was over whelming, what shall I pick? OK...all of it...LOL.
The drinks were very good. Love those HOT cheese biscuits- bet you can't just eat one !
Dessert? If you have room. The Chocolate Mousse was incredible !
Service was very good and polite. The manager came around the various tables asking how everything was. Of course we had a mouth full (couldn't stop eating), but we gave it 5 Thumbs UP!!!
Not only do they serve dinner they also offer a lunch special $9.95 - What a DEAL for that type of restaurant !!
They are closed on Monday's. I'll stop by for the "Excecutive Lunch" special next week - you can't beat that !
If it tastes good - Eat it ! (quote from Andrew Zimmern)
Pros: Tender Tasty Meats & FOOD

I was always interested in trying Castaway, but was scared off by bad reviews posted online.
I have now been twice within the last few weeks (summer 2009) and both times had positive experiences.
My first Castaway experience was dinner for 4. We had friendly and attentive service and a table by the window with a lovely nighttime view of the valley. There aren't any surprises on the menu (which has been described as "tired"), but I like to think of it as "traditional." We had steaks, salmon, and sea scallops. All of it was enjoyable, and everything was perfectly cooked. There was no reason to complain about anything we ordered.
My second experience was for Sunday brunch. All the standard brunch items are there (including extensive dessert options), and as good as any other Sunday brunch buffet. Sitting outside on the patio overlooking the valley added a lot to the experience.
Based on my experiences, I will happily go back to the Castaway.
Pros: Good food, great views

If you love great, traditional style Mexican food, this place is great! Large menu, multiple choices like three varieties of beans (black, refried, & whole pintos). I have been eating here for quite a few years and the food and the service has always been consistant. Yes, they get crowded at dinner time, especially on the weekends so plan on a wait if you don't have reservations. Parking can be brutal during busy hours since there is only street parking available and all the other restaurants and shops fight for the same parking on the street. I saw where another reviewer complained about the wait and went across the street to El Torito and was seated immediately. What does that tell you?They're not as busy because their food is not as good as Don Cuco's. I can't think of a "GOOD" restaurant I've gone to for dinner that someone wasn't waiting to get seated. Maybe for people who hate waits, they should eat at Denny's, I'm sure they must have some kind of offering that resembles Mexican food like a burrito. Someone else mentioned rude service and getting violently ill from the food. I've never noticed any examples of bad service, who knows, maybe the customer was being unreasonable and the staff reacted accordingly and I'm sure you could get ill from eating out but that's always a possibility no matter where you choose to eat. I know that neither myself or anyone in my family has ever gotten ill from eating there. So, all things considered, Don Cuco's provides, great Mexican food, great service, great drinks and great atmosphere all for a reasonable price.
Pros: Great food, great service, large menu, good value, hand-made torillas
Cons: Parking can be terrible during peak meal times, expect waits during busy periods

Great place to hang out and have some drinks. Great location and good drinks. Mostly young good-looking professionals are usually here. What I also like about this place is right next to a new bar (Corner Bar). Also a really great place to hang out...even better looking people. So, it makes bar hopping really easy. Check it out.

I love BBQ. I love sauce. I love RIBS USA. I have been to most of the BBQ places in LA, looking, seeking, trying to find the best of the best. Thus far RIBS USA has the lead. The food is great, the menu is good old BBQ, the ambiance is ideal for a chillaxin BBQ joint. I would say make your way to Burbank for this place, it is worth the drive from anywhere in LA to get the taste of real-deal BBQ.
Pros: Great food, Good Service

The ownder, Rose, is awesome! No matter how busy she is, and she is always busy, she has a kind word and smile for everyone! The food is fabulous, comes quickly and the wait staff is just as sweet as the owner. This is my go to place for people visitng from out of town or coming to the office on business. Never been disappointed!
