It seems to be pretty accurate. That's surprising. I was unaware of #5 until recently. It seems my kids are all excited about a new restaurant coming to our little town. My son's friend said she was envious of us townsfolk. Hee hee.

I'd try it, but I like the charcoal grill type Korean restaurant.
OTOH, hubby hates them. His attitudes is: if he's going to cook his
own food, it will happen at home. Fondue (cheese or chocolate) is as
do-it-yourself as he's willing to pay for.

Hawai'i is the state with the best weather, and the worst food.

I can see how your husband might not like a noisy space like that. The
young people seem to dig it. My guess is that places like this will be
the wave of the future because the young'uns will be doing most of their
socializing outside of their living spaces. I have been to Sikdorak and
rather enjoy cooking for myself - for a change. :)

I'd say you might be right. As American living spaces shrink and
young people live with their parents longer (need, not want), they
will be spending more and more time in public spaces (which include
urban mini-parks) socializing with their friends.

That ramen burger in the video has buns of cake noodle which has been favorite in Chinese restaurants in Hawaii. It's practically unknown on the mainland but they'll catch on soon - the mainlanders will call it "noodle cake."

The trouble with a ramen burger is that the sauce an juices just drip through the noodle making for a very messy burger experience. I'd rather have beef broccoli with cake noodle.

Very appealing dish - maybe not so dissimilar to the fried seafood nest
entree I order at a local Chinese joint.

I have had these deep-fried noodles. I can buy a big cake of this for a couple of bucks. I can't say if it's sold like that on the mainland where they are more likely to get the crispy chow mein noodles in cans ala La Choy.

I once made some beef tomato and put it on a cake of the crispy noodles. The cakes are made to be served with a saucy dish. Ha ha, my brother ate the whole thing when I wasn't looking. What a shock!

Your brother is a thief of course, but who could blame him?

The seafood nest dish I get has an unusually buttery, almost lobster
style sauce on it.

I must ask what the basic components are, it's quit unlike any base
brown sauce one might typically find.

The cake noodle is somewhat different. The noodles are not deep fried although they use a good amount of oil in the wok. The noodles are compressed in some fashion which gives the noodle an enticing crispy/chewy texture. We just love the stuff!

My OCD buddy was with me at the scene of the crime. I had completely forgotten about it but he brought up this incident more than 40 years later. Boy, these guys never forget a thing! I prefer to employ selective amnesia myself - a talent my friend lacks.

Awesome, less so that La Choy crap.

I totally enjoy how one of our eateries serves a bowl of deep fried
wontons alongside the soup.

I always as for hot mustard as a dip.

Lol, selective targeting and selective memory are both good
self-preservation tactics!

And it is all that and more, the flavor is like a cross between butter,
lobster sauce and mushroom liquid.

It just totally works and is not at all overpowering or syrupy.

I will eventually suss this out and report back when I do.
