(1-3) Walking into Gobo, which is named after the Japanese burdock root, you can tell it's a nice place in the West Village. The lighting is dim, the decor is upscale and cool. The front area has a place to sit that sticks you in an area that's neat the kitchen, and also near the juice and wheat grass area. The window behind shows a view...

this is their site140 W 4th St # 1New York, NY 10012(212) 260-7049 In the heart of the West Village, Red Bamboo is a vegetarian spot that’s a mixed menu. At first you’d think it’s Asian, but then it’s not, it’s southern too. We stopped in here after being at Comicon all day, and we were eager to eat. The menu is large, with entrees, sandwiches, and on an empty stomach, everything sounds great. I opted for fried everything – the “fish” and chips. It’s simple, the Fish is a tofu stick that’s somewhere in the middle of fish, but really goes towards the tofu. It’s simple and there’s tartar sauce, that’s alright. The fries are tasty, it’s as if they’re double fried or something. The texture is harsh, but it’s crunchy and good. The Eggplant parmesan is a tasty one. Just look at the pic and it’s obvious this is a tasty dish. Enough said. Check out Red Bamboo if you’re a veggie head and in NYC.

Soba or Udon, anyone? The revamped Mitsuwa in West LA, is beginning to turn into an almost cool place. First it’s a remodel of the market, then it’s Santouka ramen, now it’s Sanuki Sandou. The plastic food display always works. As you can see, the food is reasonable. Next to Santouka Ramen, Sanuki Sandou will be a fixture. Sanuki, from what I understand is a noodle company. If you’re a fan of the beloved Udon spot that’s now closed down, this has some of the same staff. In the kitchen, I saw the dude who ran the old udon place. A healthy portion of zaru soba is $2.80 and it’s still served on the bamboo mat. This is great deal. The key here are the side dishes. It’s one reason why the noodles are so inexpensive. They’re hoping you get at least one side. Pictured are: Kayaku Gohan, chikuwa tempura, and California roll. The Kayaku Gohan is a flavor filled mixed rice that’s $1.80. The California roll wasn’t impressive at $2.50, but the true treasure is the chikuwa (fish cake) seasoned with dried seaweed. $1.20! Kake soba’s pretty good too, but the zaru soba is definitely better. A close up of the chikuwa tempura. Definitely get this. To be honest, it’s not the best soba on the planet, it’s pretty good, but at it’s price, it can’t be beat. Sanuki Sandou3760 Centinela AvenueLos Angeles, CA 90066(310)398-2113
