Sushi Kisen@Arcadia ★★★

Nice Quality Sushi. Style similar to Sushi Gen. Same owner as Sushi Yamamoto on Rodeo Drive & Tonchinkan in Arcadia. Came here for the 3-course dineLa menu (October 6-20). The Juyondai Tokubetsu Honjozo paring caught our eye. It is sweet, fruity, & sophisticated. Table seating only for dineLA. Their Homemade Sesame Ice Cream was very flavorful with nice grainy sesame texture. Our server, Mino-san, is nice and friendly. Fast-paced meal. 3-course dineLA menu $65. Will need to try their $125-$150 Omakase at sushi bar sometime. Hot green tea $3. Free parking in strip mall lot.

Chef Tony Dim Sum@Arcadia ★★★

Quality Dim Sum with Great Flavor. Relatively new restaurant opened from Vancouver. Lots of variety with some fancy dishes with truffle. Everything was good. Steamed Chicken Leg was nice and fatty. Black Truffle Chicken was nice and refreshing. I always get Rice Noodle Roll w/ Minced Beef at dim sum restaurants. Love the Stir Fried Rice Noodle w/ Beef. Order from paper menu. Dim sum cart era is gone. Tea leaf is on the strong side. Better to dilute it with hot water. Contemporary interior. Arrive before restaurant opens for a shorter wait. Free parking in lot.

Doe Jon Station@Arcadia

The Salted Rice Roll was good, but that's it. Don't bother to order the Salt Bean Milk. You will have better ones somewhere else. As for the Spicy Cucumber, it looked and tasted like it has been sitting in the fridge for a long period of time. Eat at your own risk: upon entrance, you will see a huge graded "C" sign. Everything cheap though.

Salted Rice Roll $2.50
