Great Chinese Food! I recommend the Ginger Chicken and the Baked Squid with Spicy Salt (that's what it's called) but it's fried and it's just seasoned with salt and peppers. To die for!!! Some of the best chinese food i've had. The service isn't great but that's not what i'm there for. And if you're polite you shouldn't have an problems.
And just so everybody knows - especially vegetarians (this means you ChineseFoodConnoissuer) - imitation crab is made out of fish!
Pros: Food
Cons: ambiance

I am college student at USC and this place is the best place to satisfy a craving. They are willing to make something specific for you which is rare. The food is great, I would recommend the spare ribs. Good chinese food for the price

Happy Family has one of the largest menus I've ever seen. The made to order buffet alone has something like 80 dishes, including vegetarian versions of foods that you just can't get anywhere else. Most everything I've ever tried here is tasty.
Service is fast and polite, and there is actually ample free parking in an underground garage.
I've been going here for about five years, and have enjoyed it every time.
Pros: Buffet
Cons: None

If you ever want to try authentic Chinese Dim Sum, you have to go to this restaurant. This place is always crowded and you always have to wait to be seated. We went one time and waited an hour to be seated. The food is very inexpensive so go hungry.
The restaurant is very big and since many customers are all packed in one large room, the noise is very loud.
The food servers come around pushing their carts with different dim sum dishes and you point at what you want.

This bakery is located in the very busy plaza of the 99 ranch market on garvey and atlantic. The fresh smell of bread is what lures you in. They offer many Hong Kong pastries. My favorites include the pineapple buns (polo bao), hotdog buns, coconut loaf, and raisin loaf. All their products are baked daily and you'll see this when they push out racks of hot steaming pastries throughout the day. They also offer some cold desserts like cakes as well as savory products like their chicken or pork pies.

Great place for good food and an intimate setting with live entertainment for brunch...Not like your large hotel chains with lines at the buffet. You order from a specialty brunch menu and the food is great especially the brunch potatoes. I've been 3 times and will continue to spread the word. The price includes LIVE entertainment, can't beat it.
Pros: Best food and entertainment

I have to admit that I haven't tried the majority of the menu items, simply because I've come across a few dishes that are simply too tasty to pass up everytime I go.
For example, the seafood and smelt roe fried rice is quite simply the best fried rice I've ever had, and all of my friends who have tried it have fallen in love with it. The lamb chops with scallion sauce are juicy and succulent and definitely a treat as well. If you're looking for a more comforting meal, try one of the baked dishes, such as the mushroom and clam baked rice/pasta. It's generously peppered with chunks of clams here and there and topped off with a layer of melted cheese... mm-mm! For dessert, try the vanilla souffle. Unlike traditional souffles that tend to be excessively rich and decadent, J J Cafe's souffle is a light and airy affair, lightly sweetened by a sprinkling of powdered sugar on the top, definitely the perfect end to a filling meal!
Pros: Food, Quick Service, Free Refills, Good Hours
Cons: Noisy, always packed

Thai Paradise far exceeded my expectations. The authenticity in the decor of the restaurant is something I have never seen. You truly get the Thai experience the minute you walk through the door. The food had a special authenticity as well. Every dish tasted amazing and you really get the impression it was made with love. This is my favorite Thai restaurant as of yet and I give the strongest recommendation to anyone looking to treat themselves to a wonderful meal.
Pros: Food, Service, Ambience, Parking
Cons: None
