Chie, thanks for your comment. I’ve never eaten at Toro. Ever. It was merely a commenter’s mention. As you know, LD’s room is mostly dead now. Little Fat Sheep, busy. Little Open Door, not so much. Shinsen is always across the street when I must do izakaya in Western SGV. That’s unpretentious. Attempting to explain “izakaya”, in English no less? No fun at all.

Aww c’mon, too harsh. The Open Door makes a solid effort and executes well. The place has excellent service, tasty bites, and a fun, unpretentious atmosphere. There’s honest to goodness care taken to create a good dining experience for its patrons and that’s rare in this town… especially in the SGV. (Btw, Toro’s sucks giant monkey balls. Terrible food, even worse service.)

^^ Hey Smart Guy, read the first post. See that Korean girl? Not a waiter [sic], and yes, mine, wearing a ring no less. Never set foot back at Open Door again. Only fools with dog palates would think it edible. BTW, if I can fuck myself, I'd stay home all day.

Don’t be mad because of those korean girls because they were talking to the waiter or owner. Tony, maybe if your lucky you’ll find a nice waiter to comfort you someday. Now go fuck yourself

I AGREE!!!!
It was really bad and yelp should just die in a fire by now. lol. just kidding, I’m happy someone agrees.

You sound like a food pro, I’d like to become more acknowledgable as I grow older.

[...] and the i10 is the culinary super highway. Will have to pan Barbrix for the same reason I dropped The Other Door. There is better grub, at the same expenditure level, elsewhere in LA, nearly equal distance from [...]

I really liked my food at The Open Door. But food, like life, is subjective. Even when you are bashing someone I enjoy your writing.
