4.5 stars. Pacific East restaurant serves a wide variety of Asian foods and beverages. Examples are…read morebao, orange chicken, gyoza, spring roll, tempura, seaweed salad, nigiri, sashimi, maki, mochi, boba, and sake. My husband and I stopped here to purchase bobas, not the foods. We used the kiosk to place our order and to pay. The bobas were available in dozens of dairy and non-dairy flavors, and they were customizable with a base of either green tea or soda water, dozens of flavors of bubbles, and options for ice and other add-ons. My husband chose flavors of passion fruit and mango, and I chose a flavor of peach. Each boba cost several dollars. Several minutes later, an employee handed over our bobas. My husband and I enjoyed the taste of the bobas.

Then it got really crazy when a severe storm warning came over the phone. The staff said that everyone could go to the freezer area and be safe. Then the staff said that they were closing the restaurant and that we had to leave. My daughter and her friends were scared about this storm and then we were told to leave. Luckily, there was another store in the plaza that took us in. I would not recommend this place. KG

So, I've been making my way around a few Happy Hour spots lately, and while I was in the…read moreneighborhood, I decided to stop by Kitchen Social. What a pleasant surprise. The restaurant has a bright, airy atmosphere that feels welcoming even on a slightly cloudy day. The staff was attentive, friendly, and helpful from the moment we arrived. Their Happy Hour menu offered several tempting options, and we sampled a variety of dishes. We started with the Crispy Thai Shrimp, which delivered the perfect balance of sweetness and heat. Kitchen Social is known for its artisan dough pizzas, so we ordered the mushroom pizza, and it certainly did not disappoint. We also tried the Korean BBQ Cauliflower and the Shrimp & Grits...both flavorful and well executed. Since it was Happy Hour, we naturally enjoyed a few cocktails to accompany the meal. We sampled both the Maple Old Fashioned and the traditional Old Fashioned, then ventured a bit further with the Tequila Thyme and the Sangria. Each cocktail was well crafted and enjoyable in its own right. Best of all, because it was Happy Hour, the experience was easy on the wallet. Great food, excellent service, enjoyable drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere make Kitchen Social a place I'll definitely be returning to.

East side and west side - which don't talk to each other (1 of 2)…read more In this metro area, there is a sharp divide in that what is west of downtown and what is east of downtown don't tend to mix. It could be the distance, but that's no excuse since the freeways don't see traffic like the heavily trafficked cities in America. It's also that it's provincial! I was visiting a friend who lives in this very community on the west side and, since we sometimes visit the same restaurants, I dug up Arashi, located across the street from manicured Stepford-centric Crocker Park. Crocker Park is not a park, but a somewhat upscale mixed use retail-office-residential development. Arashi is a long-standing Japanese restaurant. I suggested it in part because I don't often eat Japanese food. Also, my friend has a few dietary restrictions and I am not a nutritionist. Eating Japanese food for lunch met with approval. As for me, I just avoid the few things I've known to have a negative effect on my digestive system as well as spicy food, the latter of which I flat out despise. They feature sensible lunch combinations. One can pick from the hibachi section of the menu or the regular section. We chose the exact same thing - hibachi chicken lunch - except that my friend had the mushrooms omitted. The chicken platter comes with rice and vegetables as well as soup. I also ordered the tea service. The latter is not free of charge like it might be in some Chinese restaurants. All of the food was very tasty. As for the soup, we ordered the miso soup and the onion soup. My onion soup was delicious. The problem, with which my friend concurred, is that the soup bowls were small. I could have had three times that amount of soup. I could have eaten more of everything! There is portion control at work. The interior of the restaurant is simple and tasteful, with only small hints of ethnic flavor. The regular restaurant is outboard by the windows, the room with the hibachi grill is inboard, and there is a bar between them. They have sushi and there are people who will order that, but I'm not one of them. The service was polite and got the job done. The pricing for the lunch specials seemed about right. My friend, who has lived in Europe for years as well as Asia for a few months, said arashi meant something but forgot to follow through. I looked it up and arashi means a storm or a tempest. From my L.A. days, I only know about 20 or 30 Japanese words, two of which have to do with climatic or geological matters - yuki and jishin. Yuki means snow and some Japanese women have this name. Jishin packs a meaner punch - it's an earthquake. So, rather than experiencing a jishin, I'd rather weather a fictitious storm (arashi) here and have a reliable low-key Japanese lunch.

Look for Jurassic Park merch!…read more I prefer this gas station to others in the Westlake area. I stop here almost every time I visited Crocker Park for gas, cold water, or snacks. I stopped in again this evening. Gas Prices: $2.99! The gas station across the street has the same prices. It's a phenomenal price especially so close to the July 4th holiday weekend! Location: The gas station is conveniently located down the street from Promenade Plaza and highways. It is spacious and easily maneuverable. There are multiple entrances, so it's easy to get in and out. This Speedway is impressively clean (inside and outside), well stocked, and organized. Service: Service is consistently friendly. The cashier tonight was very friendly with every single customer. It was very impressive especially at the end of the hot day. Fun Finds: This Speedway had Liquid IV packets at checkout (few left). Some water was also on sale 2/$4. Perfect for summer hydration. There was also a setup for Jurassic Park merch (currently playing). Stop by before or after seeing the movie at AMC. Overall, I recommend this guest station. It's always a quick, friendly, and pleasant experience. I've been stopping by for years and always experienced this consistency.
