I prefer it to banana bay, but it's subjective as other's prefer banana bay. For the dishes I order, I think it tastes better at the boat, but often times the boat can be crowded so banana bay may be a better choice.

I don't know if it's bomb, but it's okay. For late night eating, it's no better than denny's if that puts it in perspective, but it is cheaper and has more options.

Another place called "Spicy Shabu Shabu" in Artesia (Pioneer/182nd). They have a menu which they called "economic meal". portion is smaller than normal places but I see it as a benefit. You and your party can order a bunch of variety and yet it is still cheap.

I keep thinking of more places. I am a food critic. Please note I am not a fat *** okay

I admit that place is good. Yes I know it seem like I have been all over town haha.

A hole in the wall place called Hector Place on Aviation close to Imperial is a good place too.
