Diamond Bakery is located on the lower level of Focus Plaza, where it sells a variety of pastries, many Asian-style or of other specialty (i.e. French). This place is well-known for its cakes, though many shoppers at Focus mainly stop by during or after their shopping for a small, sweet snack.

Olympic Bakery is a very small Chinese bakery that sells the typical Chinese bakery goods: fresh baked loaves of bread (white, wheat, raisin, red-bean swirl, etc.) and individuals (red bean, cream, pork sung, etc.). They also sell small treats like mochis, as well as light sandwiches (like the simple egg and ham or potato salad) and beverages.

sooo traditional
There are a lot of complaints about Hawaii Supermaket being too dirty. It's definitely not bad by Asian standards, however, and I don't know a better place to get fresh produce at a cheap price. ...
There are a lot of complaints about Hawaii Supermaket being too dirty. It's definitely not bad by Asian standards, however, and I don't know a better place to get fresh produce at a cheap price. During the summer, watermelon, mangoes in boxes, white peach, white nectarine, and oranges are incredibly cheap and absolutely delicious, and it's common to find rare Asian fruits like starfruit, lychees, pomegranates, and durian. All sorts of Asian foods and cookware are available at Hawaii Mkt as well.

I know that the "H" in HOWS comes from Hughes, now merged with Ralphs supermarkets, so it's not wonder that HOWS markets offers top-quality foods and services. The one on Huntington Drive is extremely clean and well-lit, and just an all-in-all great place to do grocery shopping. Though not a huge chain, prices run just about the same as Ralph, Vons, and Pavilions, but without the necessary club memberships. Service is also just as good, and the quality of the products (meats, produce, etc.) is excellent.

I always go for the lunch combination specials, with any choice of 2 items: sashimi, california roll, teriyaki chicken, teriyaki beef, tempura, and many more. The fish is fresh, and the food is decently-priced. Last time I was there on a weekend, free dessert included a cute, small scoop of strawberry ice cream.

Though it offers fewer selections, Cafe Spot is definitely highly suggested. My personal favorites are grilled chicken steak with curry sauce and linguine in white whine clam soup. Tea Time from 3-5pm is also advised; you choose a smaller-sized dish that comes with a free beverage of your choice. A signature item is the "chicken egg cake," small oval balls of slightly sweet, steaming sponge cake. I personally think that the food is prepared and present a little better than most of the rushed, overcrowded cafes nearby.

Bistango, located at the end of USC's Greek Row, is a popular spot for college students, whose choices vary from traditional pastas to salads, meats, and sandwiches. Free, freshly-baked bread is always a plus, and tastes best when dipped in the provided oil and vinegar. For those in a hurry, there's takeout, which is just as good as sit-in.

Monday thru Saturday, lunch special, which includes soup or salad and an entree, starts at just $4.50, which is just about unheard of these days. Commonly-ordered dishes include the Thai Purple BBQ Chicken, with a good amount of tender dark and white meat seasoned and bbq-ed to perfection and a sweet-and-sour honey sauce for dipping. Pad Thai is always a safe bet, considering the popular Pad Thai Tuesdays where a good-sized order with shrimp and chicken is just 3.99.

I love Saladang because of its traditional ambience. The food is definitely good, and the prices affordable. I've been there a few times for the lunch specials, though any time is a good time for Thai soup, pad thai or pad seew pan fried noodles, thai iced tea, curry... basically everything here is good. Banquets or large parties also work well at Saladang. Service is fairly quick, and employees are very friendly.

Newly rennovated, Garden Cafe definitely stands out among the many Hong Kong - American fusion cafes on Valley Blvd. The extensive lunch menu varies from pan fried noodles to chicken steaks, spaghetti to fruit and shrimp salad. Price is a definite upside, although they have raised them since last remodeling. For lunch, drink is just an extra dollar, and choices range from red bean ice to boba thai iced tea. Garden is a popular joint among young adults, especially later into the evening.
