Gigi Et Jean French Restaurant Redlands, CA
This is one of the few French restaurants in the Inland Empire. Is is off the main road and would never be seen unless you know where to look. The owner is a warm-hearted French lady who gives the place an at-home atmosphere. The food is quite good too.
Mr. Yu Chinese Food Redlands, CA
This is a fast-food Chinese place, so it has that going against it compared to real Chinese food. But in the category of fast-food Chinese place is is average. They have lunch specials that are big enough for two for a few bucks. Several of the friendly counter attendants are Indonesian. They all would love to add Indonesian food to the menu, but apparently, the boss won't have it. Too bad.
Sam Woo Chinese Restaurant Rowland Heights, CA
There seem to be a lot of Sam Woo's around and somehow they are supposed to be related. This is one of the nicer ones (although all have good food). For those people that live in the Inland Empire, this is one of the closest, easiest to get to big, real Chinese restaurants around. It is quite recommended, but be prepared to wait a bit on Sundays at noontime.
Isabella's San Bernardino, CA
Good European/Italian food, but kind of in an odd location in downtown San Bernardino. Recommended.
Chinese Table Redlands, CA
For those who may find themselves at the laundromat in the same strip mall, this may be a place to kill some time and get fed. Authentic good Chinese food it is not, but sometimes that is not what people are looking for.
Isabella's Redlands Redlands, CA
This restaurant has a sister in San Bernardino and they seem to be much the same, although the Redlands store is newer. Decent Italian/European food. Worth going to.
Rama Garden Restaurant Redlands, CA
Rama Garden is not the best Thai restaurant in the Inland Empire, but the food is acceptable. It is recommended to go with the meat dishes instead of the noodle dishes. The food is not authentically spicy, but this is not Bangkok.
Old Spaghetti Factory The Riverside, CA
OK, so the decorations are cute. The food is edible. But a little Italy it is not. It is probably the ideal location for dating teenagers. Anyone who has spent time in Italy (or even NYC for that matter) might not be so pleased.
In-N-Out San Bernardino, CA
Best fast food hamburger place anywhere, even though they are a chain. There are all kinds of variations to the basic, simple menu, but you have to ask.
Ravis India Cuisine Colton, CA
Ravi's is one of the better Indian restaurants in Southern California, in spite of it being in the Inland Empire. They serve vegatarian and meat dishes. The curries are great. The nan is great.
Chilis Bar & Grill San Bernardino, CA
The Chilis in San Bernardino is just like everywhere else. Standard American dinner restaurant chain. It is a fine place to go for lunch with co-workers, probably not where one would go for making a marriage proposal.
Castaway Restaurant & Banquets San Bernardino, CA
Castaways is on top of a hill overlooking the valley. This is where you go for prom night or any other occassion when stars above and lights below may come in handy. The food is very good for the Inland Empire.
Korean Hometown San Bernardino, CA
This is a little hole-in-the-wall place that will do in a pinch. The food is not very good when compared to Seoul, but it is closer. The staff are friendly and helpful. I recommend something other than the octopus.
Korean Restaurant San Bernardino, CA
This Korean restaurant has the bbq grills and the staff will even help you use them. It is the best Korean restaurant in the San Bernardino area.
Lotus Garden San Bernardino, CA
Many people think Lotus Garden is the best Chinese restaurant in the San Bernardino area. Maybe that is true. But this reviewer's recommendation is to pass Lotus Garden and drive to Diamand Bar. Lotus Garden is a little too Americanized and has definately lost the "Chineseness" that makes for a great Chinese restaurant.
Olive Garden Italian Restaurant San Bernardino, CA
The Olive Garden may be a dinner chain restaurant, at least it is the best of that group. The food is quite good and reasonably priced. That translates into very good overall value.
Pho Ha Vietnamese Restaurant San Bernardino, CA
Typical Vietnamese restaurant, nothing stands out in particular. Worth spending 5 bucks.
El Pollo Loco San Bernardino, CA
El Pollo Loco makes for a great alternative to hamburgers. Better than other fast food mexican chains. Remember the avacado sauce and celantro condiments.
Taco Ruidoso Restaurant San Bernardino, CA
Taco Ruidoso is run by this surly old gent with a sly smile and his sweet wife. The neighborhood is not so great, but the food is excellent value. This gent makes green jalepeno sauce to die for. Forget Taco Bell or Del Taco. These people do things right for about the same price. Be warned, the soft tacos will melt in your mouth. They are closed on Sunday.
Yazmin Malaysian Restaurant Alhambra, CA
Yazmin has typical Malaysian Chinese food. It may not be exactly as good as in Penang, but for North America, it is a nice change of pace.
