Hidden in the Disney Hotel is secret buffet called "Goofy’s Kitchen." Goofy is the owner of course. There’s an array of choices, mostly finger foods for the kids, and the characters all come out and talk to you every 15 minutes or so. You can pose and chit chat with at least 7 Disney characters. I personally think Goofy’s Kitchen is all about the entertainment. The food was alright, but it was definitely about taking all the photos with the Disney characters, and watching all the kids being easily amused with Goofy’s dancing. Dinner costs around $40 a person.

House Special Deluxe

Daynah

For lunch, I went to Best Thai and had the House Special Deluxe lunch special. It’s only $6.95 and comes with a soup or salad. Not a bad deal, and I had enough leftovers for a second meal. ;)

I also recommend the Spicy Mint Leaf dish, which is beef and mint leaves. It may be on the super spicy side though.

8oz Burger Bar

Daynah

My friends and I planned a Tweetup at 8oz Burger Bar and had a fabulous time. There was around 30 people and they were very nice at accommodating all of us.

The company was great, and the food was fabulous. Pictured above is their 8oz Burger Special. More info about the event here.

Ebi Udon

Had dinner at a place called Super Sushi! The place has really good food and the prices are very reasonable. My favorite dish is always Ebi Udon. I also had a side of Spicy Tuna Rolls. All this was under $10.

Unagi Rolls

Daynah

This is one of my favorite rolls, next to tuna! They’re unagi rolls. Mmm.. It’s from one of the best sushi places near me — Rokuan Restaurant. The food is great, and the prices are reasonable. The only things I don’t like about it is that groups of 6 or more is bad. There’s only one table for a big group. The lighting is also really dark inside. And kids aren’t really welcomed here.

Japanese Pork Ramen

Daynah

I had ramen for lunch today, and my tummy was quite happy! There’s a small Japanese restaurant in Rosemead, CA called Shin-sen-gumi Hakata Ramen, that just makes you feel like you’re visiting Japan. As you walk in, you’re greeted with “itashimasu” (welcome in Japanese) and then seated.

Today I got the Special Pork Flavored Noodle with a side of rice with grounded chicken bowl. Good stuff! My husband got ramen with a side order of gyozas. Noodle refill is only 95 cents. And the service is very fast and excellent.

The House Special Chicken is my favorite entree at Pick Up Stix. I also love adding the Mandarin Garden Side Salad on the side too! Get it with the Cilantro dressing!
