We just moved to Arizona! Can you recommend any good restaurants in/around Phoenix?

Yes. But Phoenix is a city that caters to transplants. Get specific about what you like to eat. For starters, Romanelli's (35th Ave/Dunlap) is great for grinders/subs, Lifeboat (7th St/Dunlap) for coffee, Harvey's Wineburger (16th Ave/Camelback) for a great pub cheeseburger, Little Miss BarBQ (2 locations). Local specialties in Arizona include the Sonoran hot dog and Navaho Fry Bread.

The more members of an ethnic community there are in a given area, the better the restaurants serving that ethic community's food will be.

No shortage of Koreans in Columbus, Georgia, as Ft. Benning is there and a lot of the military men take Korean wives and stay in the area.

Korean BBQ

[Chauncey Gardiner]

My favorite cuisine; healthiest food around.

[Rowdyone]

I did a year’s tour of Korea in 1969 while in the USAF. The butcher shops always had skinned chicken, pork, dog and cat hanging in the window with the attending flies. You never saw or heard animals. Those people led hard lives.

Thanks for the list! We love all kinds of foods, from local specialties to international food. We love Indian and Thai and German and Italian and Mexican and so on.

What you’ve given us is super helpful. I’m going to try Harvey’s Wineburger the next time I up there.

My houseboy took me to dinner in Suwon City in 1969. I didn’t know what I was eating (and didn’t want to know!) but most of it tasted real good. Makkoli (rice wine) kicked my butt real good but I made it back to the Base before succumbing.

I’ll bet Junction City, Manhattan and Ogden KS have some killer Korean bbq.

Back in the 60's Mexican restaurants weren't common. There was a mom and pop place in Ogden that set me on the Mexican food path.

[PJ-Comix]

Looks like an all you can eat place...about $30 a person before drinks...so it is good?

That's about right but if you get it thru GroupOn and wait for the bigger discounts, you can get it for MUCH LESS. I also recommend you check LocalFlavor.Com. It's all around the country and I've gotten a lot of great restaurant deals from that site. In fact, almost all of my outside dining has been from GroupOn and LocalFlavor.Com deals.

Back in the 60's Mexican restaurants weren't common.

Back then many exotic restaurants weren't common. In the past 40 years there has been an explosion of foreign restaurants such as not only Mexican but also Korean, Japanese sushi, and specialty Latin restaurants. And I bet a lot of you still aren't familiar with the incredible Mariscos restaurants which are seafood restaurants based on primarily Peruvian (and some Colombian) cuisine.

The kimchee alone is worth the trip.

Did it piss on the grill?

[Joe 6-pack]

I spent three years in Korea. I’ve not found anything remotely close to the full bore experience here in the states. Not saying there aren’t any, just none that I’ve found.

[Bikkuri]

Been to too many to count. All were good and fresh (meat). But, they were all in Japan.

[EinNYC]

No way. I love dogs and cats alive and well.

Pine Tree in Reseda, at the corner of Reseda and Roscoe is the best! I've been going there for over 25 years and never been disappointed.
