Santa Barbara and Orange County CA. [General]
2013 Aug 22
I was just in California last week!
If you're in O.C, I personally liked Gen (in Huntington)- which is an AYCE kbbq. SO GOOD. The meats they have are very good cuts, and its only 20/ppl for dinner! The wait is a bit long during the busy hours... I think I waited up to an hour the second time I went, but I though it was worth it.
Also, I enjoyed Boiling Crab. The oysters were really good and fresh. but that place is also another an hr or so wait... haha
Theres also a delicious banh xeo place (viet pancakes) that I went to a few years ago, and its still there (we ran out of time unforunately) thats really good. I can't remember the name but it was beside a vietnamese inn? and close by to Little Saigon. Sorry I can't remember the name.
But don't forget to hit up Little Saigon for some yummy pho'.
For dessert, my cousin took me to a place called Snow Monster, macarons filled with ice cream. YUM, but their regualr macarons not that good.
but they did get me some macarons from a place called "Lette," those were delicious.
Oh I also managed to get my hands on some food from the food truck Kogi. The Kogi Kimchi quesidilla was pretty good for being left aside for a few hours while I was at California Adventures. You'll have to check their website to see where they are.
and thats all I got... OH, of course.. IN-N-OUT. Burgers- animal style!!

Also this is only my second trip to Santa Barbara. Last visit was short, and the only meal I remember was in the spectacular Biltmore hotel, so really looking for whatever suggestions you can offer for S.B. as well. Thanks in advance.
