Arcadia is full of good Chinese restaurants, but surprisingly, it has a pretty good Korean one, too. Young Dong Garden is hardly a hole in the wall, but located on busy Huntington Drive, many miss this place. You know you found a good Korean restaurant when as you walk from the parking lot to the [...]

One of my favorite restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley has always been La Parisienne. Imagine my delight when I found out that the owners have opened up a sister restaurant, Marla’s. Marla’s is still fairly new, around since March 2005. While it seems this restaurant has everything down, the only thing [...]
