Our favorite local Ramen place. Delicious noodles and they usually have great Japanese TV programs running to watch while you eat.

Delicious Persian kababs (esp. Koobideh) on lavash bread. Getting food is a a little unorthodox: Order inside at the checkout stand and then pick up outside toward the back of the market.

Delicious little Korean bibimbap (hot pot) restaurant. Adjacent to the movie theater, so a great location for dinner-and-a-movie nights.

Sundays from 9:00 - 1:00. This is apparently the fourth largest farmer’s market in California! Great diversity of vendors and very well-stocked with wonderfully fresh local produce, bread, fish, etc.

Great local market within walking distance of our house. Family-owned (and named for their daughter). We like to go there for ice cream on hot summer days.
