Please, please post up the name of the place. Address, and number, and what plate is good to order. Pics and prices are optional.

Here is my contribution:

Please don't trim...your thimble would look quite lonely on it's own.

Most of the places i know are in costa mesa/cerritos/irvine/orange county area.

Since you are in LA i do not know how good that would be.

Places that i know off the top of my bed. I am pretty **** about what i eat.

Japanese:

-Shin Sen Gumi: Near the 405 and brookhurst, good hakata ramen, about 10 bucks a person. They also have a Yakitori bar next door which is good.

-Fukada: Near Research and Irvine Center drive in irvine, japanese cold soba/brown rice lunch combos. Usually 9-11 bucks a person for lunch or/dinner.

-Koryu: More tokyo style ramen, near Baker/Baer in Costa mesa. 10 bucks a person too.

-Tsuruhashi: Yakiniku Japanese BBQ: Grill style is Korean influenced: About 25-50 dollars a person including beer usually.

-Manpuku: Japanese BBQ, Grill style is more japanese style, but i still prefer Tsuruhashi more for taste and flavor. This place has more atmosphere. Same price as above.

-Oki Doki, 2 branches: One in Costa Mesa, one in Garden Grove. Same menus, but Garden grove has much less crowd. Yakitori/Izakaya style. Price is anywhere on how much you order.

-Ikko: Traditional sushi, great presentation, do not go here unless you are ready to spend 100 a person. Been here only 2 times. Every time is an experience of its own. In costa mesa off Baker and Bristol. On Baker near the ARCO gas station.

-MIMI Sushi: Brookhurst in Costa Mesa. About 40-50 a person. Good sushi alternative on a more modest budget. Very fresh and good quality eel.

-Mitsuwa market: in costa mesa, many great small places to eat at 5-9 dollars a person at the food court. near bristol and paularino.

Indian:

-Royal Khyber: Near south coast Plaza. About 40 a person. Very rich, north indian food. I like the Butter chicken here.

-Dosa Palace: Good south indian food. Not the usual naans, curries. More traditional, about 10 bucks a person +. (tustin, off red hill)

-India Cook House: 9 bucks everyday lunch buffet. Cannot beat the value. North indian food is the focus. A la carte is ok too.

I know some places off pioneer blvd in cerritos in little india. I forget their names.

Others:

-Beach/Bravo Burger: Huntington beach, about 7-15 a person.

I mainly eat indian and japanese and some american food. I know a bunch more of other places. If i think of them, ill post them up.

If you want GOOD indian food, better to try fullerton, cerritos or costa mesa.

I recommend Royal Khyber, even though a little more money, is def worth it. Good for first impressions.
