This place is a huge outdoor mall that sprawls several blocks in Glendale.  The main area where they have the Americana restaurant has a nice European Plaza/square with an Eiffel Tower Replica and Trolley Tracks and some European restaurants like La Duree and Le Pain Quotidien and Italian Delis like De Luca's.  Along Brand Blvd, there is Philz, Egg Slut, Din Dai Fung, or for the burger enthusiast, In-N-Out.  There is also a huge Ross and Marshall's store for those planning doing budget shopping.

Food-wise Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) was better than Joe's Shanghai, not too thick skin and really soupy Fried Pork Dumplings - thick skin but it was actually good despite that, and the sauce just went great with it, a bit sweet. Shanghai Fried Rice - Love it! Price-wise It was really cheap 5.95 for an order of 8 pcs Xiao Long Pao or Fried Pork Dumpling 7.95 for a serving of Shanghai Fried Rice

Chicken Tatsuta-age marinated fried chicken Quite nice, soft meaty chicken, very soft taste but I think I might have preferred the usual karaages though Niku Udon beef short-ribs & honeycomb tripe ($17) Udon is very chewable and really good and feeling Bowl was huge Taste really great; meat are both soft and chewy Taste like "Bulalo" and a bit of sweet side

Urban Putt (Mission, SF)

And for 12 dollars, you can play.  Really a good idea of having a bar and restaurant with mini-golf course especially when it is raining or cold here in SF. Only thing is that it is quite crowded so there could be a line just to get in.

Nothing Fancy just plain old rooftop but FOOD is really good. Tried out Skewers and Churrones (Pork shoulders) - it was AMAZING! Squash / Calabaza Quesadillar It's OK.. don't like it that much!
