Revolving Sushi



Kura Sushi on 17th Street in Costa Mesa is home to revolving Sushi. Revolving Sushi you ask-what is that. You sit at the bar or at a table and sushi comes around on a conveyer belt. Not just sushi, little yogurt drinks, saki and anything else you can think of at a sushi bar. It is really a novel concept.
You just sit down ...

Plums Restaurant



What seemed like a fun way to start the morning on this Memorial Day Weekend literally turned into a headache. My husband and I decided to go to Plums Restaurant on 17th Street for breakfast.  Bad mistake.

118 Degrees



 

  Here is an interesting concept behind a new restaurant in Costa Mesa, raw vegan food. That is definately a niche market.  You are either vegan or you are not.  You either want hot food or cold.

I have not tried the restaurant and I am not sure if I will.  The photographs of the food do look appetizing.  I like protein.  I do not need ...

The name is Mesa, but the location is a secret



I read an interesting article in the LA Times about a new local restaurant, Mesa.  Their card only has their number, no name or address and when you do find the location their is no name outside to indicate you are at the correct location.  Interesting marketing technique.  I am not sure what they are trying to accomplish.  Buzz, mystique???

Apparently if you Google it, nothing comes up.  I am not ...
