Oh, perfect. I've been there, but had forgotten how much tofu they have. Thanks!

Looking for a place in K-town to accommodate 4 carnivores and a vegetarian this weekend. 2 of the carnivores have never eaten Korean food, so I'd like to expose them to the full panoply of Korean food (which rules out Hangawi). Can't recall if Kang Suh or Kum Gang San have decent vegetarian options on their menu. Anyone know of a good place? Thanks!

Thanks for all the recs. We ended up going to Cowboy Star for dinner -- food, cocktails, and service were all great. Also went to Noble Experiment and thought the drinks were excellent. SD is a great city!

3 friends and I are visiting SD this weekend, and staying in the Gaslamp area. We'll be celebrating a birthday on Saturday night. There are a ton of recs on here, and I think I have our eating itinerary down for the most part, but am not sure what to choose for the birthday dinner. We're looking for as trendy/cool a place as possible without sacrificing food quality (2 of us are serious foodies, including bday girl). Suggestions for the best in the Gaslamp/downtown area (or a cheap cab ride away). Looking to spend approx. $30-40 per person (not including drinks). Any kind of food works. Thanks!

Kelly's Steak and Seafood is great. It's not too far out of SC in Boalsburg (just a couple of miles away). Don't be deterred by the giant cow on top!

Also, Spats and Zola's are still great. When I came to SC, I have to admit I was surprised to find such high-quality restaurants like these two.

I tried Bon Chon Chicken out on Northern Blvd, and it was really good! I think I had the soy-flavored kind. They serve it with pickled daikon radishes and some potato salad. It's quite light and tasty, and you don't feel all weighed down by grease afterward.

Does anyone know what happened to the excellent Taiwanese restaurant, David's, on Broadway in Elmhurst? They changed their name (to what I can't recall) a while back, and one day, I went for dinner there, and it was closed! I don't know if it was just the time of year (between Christmas and New Year's), and I haven't had the chance to go back, but was wondering if anyone knew what was going on. It was such a great restaurant..

Hemsin, on 39th and Queens Blvd. (Sunnyside) -- excellent Turkish
Yamakaze, on the same block -- great, inexpensive sushi
Aliada, on Broadway in Astoria (I forget the cross street) -- solid, inexpensive Greek
Donovan's, in Woodside -- delicious, old-school burgers

Moderately-priced restaurants are best. And any kind of food is great, I eat everything. Thanks for the heads-up and the suggestions, pilches!

I am going down to Pembroke Pines for a wedding. Anyone know of any good restaurants in the area? Thanks!!
