The tri-tip is decent, but I think it's the barbecue sauce, chili beans, and potato/macaroni salads that earn them the extra aforementioned half-star.[...]

The Stinking Rose – Beverly Hills, CA
I really wanted to like the Stinking Rose. I absolutely love garlic and the restaurant's premise is just that: garlic in almost everything.

Grand China – Ventura, CA
I wouldn't say this place has the best chinese food, but the food is decent, the portions are big, and the price is really low. It's a good place to pick up food and go. It always seems fresh and the service is quick.[...]

New Kung Fu’od – Ventura, CA
My last visit to this place, before last night, was about 10 years ago. It's not that their food is bad, it's just that there are much better places to go. The food is relatively cheap for the amount of food you receive.[...]
