Cafe Gunul 2 - Rowland Heights, CA

On one strange occasion, slave girl and I caught our friend walking out of Cafe Gunul 2 when we passed by the restaurant. She told us they had the best kimchi pasta, even better than the ones in Koreantown. Errrr, say no more, we are in!

Hot Star - Rowland Heights, CA

Foodie friend Charlie has been raving about the chicken fillet here ever since it franchised all the way from Taiwan. I always wanted to try it but just couldn't drop $10 for a piece of chicken.

Gam Ja Gol - Rowland Heights, CA

Slave girl and I have been to Gam Ja Gol for many many times with our Groupon deal. During our most recent visit, I realized I haven't written anything about the restaurant so here it goes.

Round 3 Pho Noodle House - Rowland Heights, CA

My foodie friend Charlie has been asking me to check out this restaurant ever since he tried it. Well, salve girl was in my hood over the weekend so I figured it was finally time to hit up the place.

Hwang ToKil HTK - Rowland Heights, CA

It has been 3 months from my last visit at Hwang Tokil HTK. Since the first visit was pretty horrible, I almost didn't want to go back but then again, that was 3 months ago so here we were, giving it another shot.

Boba Gogo - Rowland Heights, CA

I was in the plaza getting a haircut and couldn't help but smelling deep fried basil on the way out. I have passed this place many times but never tried it.

Well, that stupid basil smell got me.

Hugo Foods - Rowland Heights, CA

I've been seeing ads for Hugo Foods on my Facebook, and I remembered seeing them at a local fair. I never got a chance to try their food and I figured the time has finally came after they got a store front.

Junkabok Ramen House - Rowland Heights, CA

I noticed one of my favorite Korean hot pot place closed then reopened as a ramen shop. I was intrigued and dragged slave girl to come and having ramen lunch adventure on a Sunday.

Even Life - Rowland Heights, CA

Slave girl and I were in my hood and we wanted something for dinner. We saw this new place for beef noodle soup. I am always up for the new challenge so we went to try the place.

BreadFish Cafe - Rowland Heights, CA

The first time I visited BreadFish Cafe, I believe they just opened their door and I remembered the food being good. It has been awhile and I wanted to see if the quality still the same so I dragged slave girl with me for a revisit.

Taqueria Arbol Del Tule - Rowland Heights, CA

Slave girl and I were hungry and got denied entry by a nearby Taiwanese restaurant because it was "closed" even though they supposed to be open for another hour based on their business hour sign. Well, you know what? Plenty others would like to take my money!

Taiwan Sausage Bei - Rowland Heights, CA

Our foodie friend Charlie (so jelly he could go inside of the truck to take pictures...) told us a new Taiwanese food truck opened up in Rowland Heights and I have been dying to try it. Sadly I was never able to make it due to work schedule when they only open from Monday to Friday, from 11 am to 2 pm/sold out. I was finally in Rowland Heights on a fine Friday and got to try it.

Zensen Sushi Express - Rowland Heights, CA

Slave girl and I were in fatty mode. While we were waiting for the nearby Korean hot pot (now closed... sad) to open for dinner, we decided to try this place first because, why not?

Little Highness Bao - Rowland Heights, CA

Warning: angry fatty.

I have been eyeballing this place even before it opened its door, but strange enough I actually didn't go after they opened until recently.

Pho Huynh - Rowland Heights, CA

I noticed a new pho restaurant opened in the plaza and I was thinking to myself, there is a pho place in the plaza already and they opened another one? Either the owner was naive or was really cocky about their pho. Well, I love eating pho so it was natural for me to try this one too!

BUCCUMI - Rowland Heights, CA

I have seen this place for quite some times and was always wondering what they have to offer in order to stay in business for this long. Don't get me wrong, it's just I remember seeing different restaurants had came and gone at this same location for the past years. On one random night, I asked slave girl to check out this place with me.

MO-MO-PARADISE - Rowland Heights, CA

This is until after I visited the restaurant, then I realized I have never visited a restaurant on the grand opening day. How exciting!? Good thing slave girl was in the area so she went there to make a reservation for a later time since all the seats were full when they opened for dinner at 5.
