I choose this hair salon cos it was Korean. Only needed a fringe cut. Walked into the salon without booking and didn't have to wait very long. There were 2 hairstylists working. I showed the hairstylist a picture of the fringe I wanted, a side sweeped fringe just above the eye. The stylist took 1 glance and started cutting. The result was terrible and looked nothing like the picture. Instead of a side sweeped fringe, it was completely flat with a kink near the middle and way too short. I wasn't happy but the stylist didn't care. I ended up purchasing hairbands to cover it up. The stylist was Asian and had long red hair - avoid at all costs. I wouldn't come back again.

This place offers a good selection of sushi. Tried the chicken and avocado which was nice and the beef sukiyaki (not quite as good). Other interesting offerings include volcano and eel with coriander.

Approximate cost: $2.20 per sushi

This sushi place offers a nice selection of sushi including inaris with various fillings and gourmet pieces such as semi-fired salmon (a must try). The prices are slightly more than your average sushi bar. Bought a selection pack which included a sample of various types of sushi. It was fresh but nothing stood out.

I tried the tokyo beef (previously it was promoted as one of their signature dishes) and while it tasted nothing like any beef dish I tried in Japan (let alone tokyo), it tasted pretty good. The serving was quite generous, the beef was very tender and there was also plenty of sauce to go with the rice.

Approximate cost: $10

While the decor does not reflect great ambience, the Korean style seats were a bit of a novelty. Friend suggested kimchi pork or beef. The meat was overcooked and a bit tough. The kimchi flavor also didn't appeal greatly. Came with some side dishes which is the norm for Korean restaurants. These were rather mediocre - seaweed, pasta and more kimchi.

Ordered chicken katsu curry. The chicken was nicely fried however it drowned in the curry which was a bit heavy. The flavor was also a bit off balance and was rather salty.

Approximate cost: $8

Ordered wonton noodle soup. The wontons were big but didn't taste very nice. The soup also lacked flavor and left you feeling very thirsty (which is usually the result of too much msg).

Approximate cost: $10

Despite living outside of their delivery zone, they were still able to deliver so I was impressed. When the pizzas arrived, both were still hot. The pizzas were loaded with topping however flavor-wise it was lacking something and definitely below par when compared with other gourmet pizza chains.

This coffee shop is very cute. Great location next to the beach. The food however is so-so. Ordered a chicken and avocado focaccia. Its loaded with chicken but taste wise was rather bland. There's also a selection of cakes and yogurt on sale.

Approximate cost: $10

This place is small the furnishings are simple. Was introduced here by friends who said the 3 cup chicken is fantastic and it certainly was. Other dishes ordered include salt and pepper calamari (crispy and delicious), sichuan style eggplant (so-so), a tofu and egg dish (so-so) and black pepper beef (so-so). I guess the lesson at the end of the day is you need to know what to order since some dishes I'd come back for, whereas other dishes aren't worth the effort.
