Also
The Luggage room (Great)
and the chains, Lemonade (decent) and Tender Greens (Good)
Abricot (good)
Also enjoyed POP chmapagne
Malbec (good)

And the luggage room, while not falling under any traditional style that I know of is fantastic.

It's actually a great place and they have even better locations then the one they chose. If they can get bigger in the future there is the alley above the goldline right of way which is completely empty and extends about three blocks and has other connecting alleyways as well

There are tons of asians in the area as well as non-asians (myself one) who have traveled and love the concept and only wish we had something like it.

Also note, they do not have a liquor license and let you bring in your own, and are very accommodating.

This alone makes the going to the place worth it. They are still working out the kinks I think of running the place but it is a nice environ, the food is mostly good and reasonably priced.

Some ribs which looked and tasted like bad boiled pork slathered afterwords in a ketchupy tasting BBQ sauce. Probably right out os an industrial sized tub from some restaurant supply company.
I remember we ordered steamed veggies as a side since my wife did not want fries. the broccoli had that awful smell and taste of something sitting in the back of the fridge to long.
And their house beer wasn't very good.

If I have to go again, I'll try the fired chicken you recommended.

Sushi Naples a mile or so form old town on green st has glasses of Sapporo and Kirin on tap for like $1.50, I think starting after 7:00. Also cheaper appetizers. the food is very so/so. The best dish (not a happy hour special) is the ton katsu.

I have never been served such horrible food as I had at Hamlet. Maybe I ordered the wrong stuff but it was bad or inedible.

When golden deli is to crowded there is vietnam house across the street. Same owners as golden deli with a larger menu. The restaurants is a bit less comfortable with no booths but more tables. Neither golden deli nor vietnam house has the greatest Pho Ga. Better to go to a Pho Ga specialty place. The chicken curry though is excellent.

Also Zion market in cerritos. Nothing I know of in the SGV. Maybe in rowlanddiamond bar area.

For amazing what I think are Xian Bing and some really good Jiao Zi, Michelles Kitchen on las Tunas in San Gabriel in the same strip mall as luscious dumplings and vietnam house.

Sa rit gol on olympic I think, is pretty good.

Paik's Bonga restaurant. This restaurant is about 15-20 minutes drive without traffic from claremont. Pretty accessable to non koreans. The food is really good. The meat is excellent.They have really good panchan (side-dishes) and the Ssam (the lettuce and other greens served on the side to wrap the meet with) is the best I've had in LA. T Their other korean dishes are really good also. It used to be another restaurant which was not so good.
