Pizza Hut's WingStreet in Chatsworth,CA

Every Wednesday, the wings are 50 cents each! So of course I had to get some Cajun Wings. The sauce on these are super flavorful. It's spicy and sweet. I like the bone-in crispy wings better than the bone-out wings. The meat in the bone-in is juicy and the outside is crispy. The meat in the bone-out is drier than the bone-in, but it's easier to eat. Overall, this place was surprisingly good and I think this will be my go-to place for cheap, easy and fast wings.

Jersey Mike's Subs in Chatsworth,CA



Today I went to Jersey Mike's Subs to try one of their sandwiches because friends around me were raving about how good they were. I ordered a #8, which is the Club Sub (consists of Turkey, ham, provolone, bacon, mayo, of course Mike's Way!). It was fun to watch them use the machine to thinly slice the fresh meat and cheese. There's a clear glass between you and the workers so you can watch them make your sandwich. If you tell them it's your first time there, they give you a free cookie of your choice. I got the m&m cookie and it was soft and yummy! The sandwich was actually kind of plain and the bacon was too salty for my taste. Personally, I didn't enjoy this sandwich and I felt like the sandwiches I make at home have more flavor. Don't get me wrong, all the toppings they used were very fresh, but it needs some tang to the sandwich. Maybe they need to use miracle whip instead of mayo. Whatever it is, they need to add something to give it more flavor for me to want to come again. Who knows? Maybe I ordered the wrong sandwich. I think I played it safe with a club sub and maybe I need to try one of their crazier subs. Overall, the workers were helpful, the place was really clean, but I wouldn't come here again on my own terms. If my family or friends wanted to go, I might tag along and ask to try some of what they have and maybe I will actually find a sub I like.

Golden City in Reseda, CA


It was getting late and I was craving Chinese food. I decided to look online and I came across this place. I took a look at their online menu and easily decided on three plates. The Dry Sauteed String Beans, House Special Fried Rice, and Kung Pao Chicken. The dry sauteed string beans were really nicely seasoned and tasty. I usually don't like vegetables, but I'll make an exception for this dish. Their house special fried rice was mediocre. I think it needs more seasoning and it was kind of dry, so I probably won't order this again. Their kung pao chicken on the other hand is the best I've tried in the valley. It's perfectly sweet and spicy at the same time. I salivate just talking about it in my blog. If you come here, definitely order this! Overall, I had a great experience. The people are helpful and the dishes were really flavorful. It's a place I would come back to again.

Baja Fresh in Northridge,CA

I've been to a few Baja Fresh restaurants over a course of a few years, but I realized the quality of food varies from place to place. I walked in and was greeted by very welcoming workers. I already knew what I wanted to order, so I ordered a large side of chips and the taquito meal. Everything seemed smaller here, like the taquitos were skinnier than normal and the side of chips weren't so large. The taquitos were still delicious nonetheless. Their chips are my absolute favorite because they are thin, crispy, freshly made and less salty than the chips you can buy at markets. Another part of this place that I like is the salsa bar. I love the Mild Baja Sauce, Pico De Gallo and I used to love the Salsa Verde (they changed the recipe and now it tastes like grass). At this place, the salsas didn't taste as fresh as can be and they were a bit warm for my liking. But they were still eatable. I probably wouldn't come back to this specific Baja Fresh unless I was in the area and there was nothing else to eat. So far my favorite Baja Fresh is the one in Chatsworth. Every time I've gone there, the food never let me down.
