Review of Wagamama
17 Apr 08, 15:37
Fresh, New, Different way of eating. 
The restaurants are modelled on traditional Japanese ramen bars that have been popular for hundreds of years - ramen are Japanese style noodles, served in a meat-based broth, topped with pork, dried seaweed or even corn. Chilli beef ramen, made of noodles in a spicy pork and chicken soup topped with a marinated and grilled sirloin steak and fresh vegetables, is hearty and satisfying.
Although modeled on this, this place is totally modern, and with this, lacks some personality.
However, it is a no fuss... get in, eat, and get out restaurant. Great for lunch, but it's "quickness" may not be everyones idea of a nice relaxing dinner! Also, you never know who may come and plonk themseves on the same table as you.

Review of Woodies Longboard Diner
15 Apr 08, 23:08
Everything an American Diner should be, and more!
Within a stone's throw of the homes and private beaches of the rich and famous in Hove is a very authentic-looking American Diner and surf shop. It sells boards, beach sandals, you name it. The waves in Hove are not exactly Waikiki standard but this place seems to do a good trade. Next door is Woodies Diner, a self consciously Americanoid establishment with waitresses dressed in american 50's outfits, and a checkerboard floor and squeaky glittery plastic seats... fantastic!
Good Points: Best American diner locally.
Bad Points: Can be on the pricey side, VERY busy at busy periods, and no table booking is possible.
