In fact, 5 years ago I ate there with my girls when my DH could not go with us and the food was overpriced then, too. We all shared plates, but still... Merry
Originally Posted By Darkbeer FYI, the IHOP I mentioned is the NEW one that was built about 1 year ago. It is located SOUTH of Katella on Harbor, next to the Radisson. It is the closer one to the Candy Cane Inn, basically just need to cross the street twice. I have never eaten there, but it looks nicer than the IHOP next to the Park Vue Inn.
Originally Posted By trekkeruss I remember eating at this really good Chinese restaurant... it had to have been good, because a lot of Chinese people ate there. LOL. I *think* it was on Katella... in a free-standing building. It seems like the last time I drove by, it was gone. Am I imagining it? Does anyone know which place I am referring to?

Imagine my surprise when I was charged 9.99 for the strips and another 4.99 for the caesar salad..... I wouldn't go back either, too expensive.

Did they also bring fries with the strips or just the salad in place of fries? If they did AND charged you extra, boy, would I be writing a letter filled with vitriol. Merry
