Review
I've been to Ddoo Gau Bee several times. I must say that it is nothing to rave about and it isn't necessarily spectacular. However, they do have some pretty good deals. This is one of them. The combo includes Jajang Mein, Jam Pong, and Fried Rice. It will definitely fill you up with minimal hit to the wallet!

Disappointing

Review
I've been to Memphis Blues one other time and I had remembered it as being one large awesome plate of BBQ meat. I haven't been back for a few years and had been craving it as I saw it along Lonsdale taking the bus. I finally got some time to hit it up and was super excited. Unfortunately, this visit fell pretty flat on its face. The BBQ Chicken was pretty dry and tasteless. The ribs were also not fall-off-the-bone good. They were actually pretty tough. Without the extra BBQ sauce, I don't think I would have made it through the dinner. I'm not sure if I'll be back.

Review
The Oven-roasted Quesadilla was nothing to rave about. It was fairly average as expected. However, the Spaghetti and Meatballs were pretty tasty. It happened to be their special that day, so it was definitely a good deal. It was a fairly large portion, but the best part was the taste of home-made! I also really liked the garlic bread, which was toasted just right. For the price, this was a no-brainer.
