Qin West Chinese Cuisine

Bringing East and West.

1) Far East Plaza has become some what of a mecca of Asian Hipster food. While I agree Qin West Chinese Cuisine is more of the new wave of Chinese restaurants coming to Chinatown, it still manages to retain a sense of authenticity. 

2) Is it quite comparable to SGV? It almost there, but for Chinatown it's pretty good.

3) You can easily share a dish here. 

4) Order the hand noodles if you can! It runs out, if not the Guilin Noodles are excellent

Mr Rick’s

Mr. Rick's  Great place for a lazy Sunday afternoon to grab a bite to eat and drink some beers. It's right on the beach, so it's great for watching the waves and people watching. The food and drinks were typical American fare, but all in all a good experience.

Caribbean Haven

Yay, a Caribbean place in Ventura

1) There's both Caribbean Food and Filipino food. There is no in between food here(so no Jerk Chicken Adobo)
2) It was a bit on the pricey side, I thought for the Filipino food. The Caribbean option was a pretty good value though. The Jerk Chicken Sandwich and Jerk Skewers was more than enough food, and a good value. It's not super authentic Caribbean Food, but it's a good platform to try out Caribbean food.
3) Halo Halo is a must here, not too sweet, but a good assortment of stuff in the ice cream. Also INDICATE if you want your Halo Halo in a cup or bowl.
4) The menu was a bit overwhelming..but they are open to suggestions!
