Tuk Tuk Thai

20150223:
Having already eaten a bit, I looked for something small and decided to get the chicken skewers. While expensive for a small appetizer, they were tasty and just enough to satisfy the remainder of my appetite. 1:17PM PT

Overall, the dish was overpriced in relation to the quality and portion. With many other Thai restaurants to choose from, it is unlikely that I would return to Tuk Tuk Thai. However, since the food was good, the possibility of returning exists.

Menu Description:
CHICKEN SATAY
Served w/ cucumber sauce and peanut sauce.

Tuk Tuk Thai

The small spoon may be misleading when it comes to judging the size of this appetizer. Of course, its not the size that matters, but the associated cost.

Burritos Inc.

-- CLOSED --
20150208:
Today I decided to give Burritos Inc. a try. Upon walking inside, I found that Burritos Inc. was basically just an imitation of Chipotle.

However, perhaps because the establishment is still new, the employee who constructed my burrito was quite slow and overly careful about serving a precise amount of food. In addition, the tortilla he used broke while he was wrapping the burrito. He proceeded to transfer all the contents to a new tortilla and threw the old one away. What a waste!

In any case, I got a burrito with brown rice, chicken, black beans, pico de gallo, hot salsa, mango corn salsa, and lime.

While eating the burrito got a little messy (which was why I started only ever getting a burrito bowl from Chipotle), it was a decent meal.

All things considered (price, quality, quantity, service), for now I'll stick with Fresco Mexican Grill. 3:24PM PT

From my first visit, I only noticed one item that distinguishes Burritos Inc. from Chipotle: the mango corn salsa. On the other hand, Chipotle has the grilled vegetables.

Turkish Kitchen

20150203:
Lamb & Beef Doner Plate (9.95 w/o tax, 10.85 w/tax)

Both the rice and meat tasted good. The meal was not heavy and I liked the yogurt. The salad, however, was just standard. 1:52PM PT
