I have no idea what this is but my coworker ordered it and was awful. It came out over seasoned and very soggy. I think its supposed to be sweet potato fries but it oiliness killed its natural flavor.

Instead traditional onion rings, this place serves onion wedges! Its a fantastic idea because I often bite into onion rings and find that the onion ring inside gets pulled or falls out of the crispy shell.

Jalepeno Pepperjack Burger. It may look small but it packs a mean punch! The burger is quite spicey and goes well with the light horseradish-mayo dipping sauce. The only downside to this burger is that the bun is quite plain.

Taste: 7/10

Another favorite place to eat in downtown San Diego for obvious reasons… awesome garlic fries! =)

Today my friends and I ordered the Longshanks Sausage Sandwich, “The most ruthless sandwich you’ll ever eat.” But was it? Maybe…

This sandwich has sausage, peppers, provologne cheese, onions and a side of fries (you can substitute for garlic fries). It was pretty good about halfway through but the sausage gets to you. Its slightly juicy when you first bite into it but theres a strange dryness at the same time.  I like the BBQ Bacon Burger instead. That one has cheddar cheese, onion rings and a tangy bbq sauce. Yum!

Christina ordered the Danny Boy’s Shepherds Pie (half amount shown). I can’t recall how this tasted but it was probably tasty. The camera flash makes it look liquidy but its quite firm. The garlic bread is like any other.

Taste: 8/10

The Kebab Shop

630 9th Avenue, San Diego, California 92101. 619.525.0055

I love this place! Its one of the few places in downtown that is affordable AND offers fantastic food. I usually order the Lamb Doner ($6) and a side of fries ($2). The Doner is a tortilla wrapped sandwich with salad and your choice of lamb, chicken, or falafel with a yummy garlic yogurt sauce. It has a fresh and healthy taste to it. The fries here are extremely good and are made consistently crispy. I like to dip them in a side of garlic yogurt sauce which sounds weird but you just have to try and taste the sauce for yourself. Its strangefully delightful.

Out of the numorous times I have been here, I have never tried anything other than the doners. But Jeremy is a notorious salmon fiend and had ordered the Salmon Filet Kebab ($8.50). According to him, the salmon tasted slightly undercooked but the vegetables were killer. I told him to get the salmon recooked but by the time I finished my sentence, he had already finished it!

Taste: 11/10 Yay for Doner!

This is a great new place to try out in Clairemont! It’s sort of like Japanese Shabu-Shabu, but without the dipping sauces. As soon as you are seated, your waiter will give you an ordering form and a pen. You just check what you want. There are about 100 items to choose from!

First, you need to decide on the soup base: House Original, House Spicy, Half and Half, or Vegetarian Mushroom.

Half House Original and Half House Spicy aka Half and Half ($3.75 per person) - The soup came out first and as I was waiting for the other items, I tried the House Original and it was so flavorful! It’s good on it’s own even without the other items. But, I must warn you, the House Spicy is extremely spicy! I actually mixed 1 part spicy and 3 parts original in my bowl and that was spicy enough for me… you don’t want to start sweating

Next, you’ll have a difficult decision to make… Do you want meat? Lamb, beef, chicken, or pork? How about seafood? Tiger prawns, shrimp, fish, clams, or mussels? Can’t decide? Try the Seafood Combo Platter.

Chicken Breast ($4.95) and Supreme Beef Slice ($6.50) or maybe it was Premium Sliced Beef ($5.95) - both thinly sliced.

How about some vegetables? Sprouts, cabbage, watercress, bamboo, lotus, or taro? Noodles? Tofu? Mushrooms? Dumplings?

Back: Napa Cabbage ($3.95), Seafood Combo Platter ($12.95), and Udon Noodles ($3.95). Front: Assorted Mushroom Platter ($10.95).

Feeling a little adventurous? Want to try something different? How about Jelly Fish or a BBQ Pork Intestine Skewer?

Jelly Fish ($4.95) - I didn’t try this, but you are supposed to eat it cold.

Everything that I tried was good… the Chicken Breast, Tiger Prawns, Fish, and I especially liked the Udon Noodles.

Worried about the hot summer weather? Don’t be! The restaurant is air conditioned. It’s a fun thing to do for lunch or dinner with your family or friends.
