I went to these restaurants on Monday.
B2 Cafe - This place answers the question - What if Quiznos and Einstein's had a baby? I think they are shooting for a finer reputation, but, it looks and acts like a fast food joint. They serve sandwiches and breakfast. I had a TBCC for $7. It's turkey, spinach cream cheese, provolone with a side of "jus". The spinach cc must take the place of a spinach and artichoke spread. It was a good complement to the turkey. The serving was Quiznos size not delicatessen size. The "jus" was a terrible idea. It overpowered everything else. Maybe on the RBCC. All in all, probably better than the two places I likened them to. But, not enough to go out of your way for. They are in the strip mall at the intersection of Tuskawilla and Red Bug Lake (on the Thai Basil side).
Hokkaido - They have five hibachi grills and a small sushi bar in the back plus one smallish dining room. It's new. I had a salmon roll for $4.50 and a yellowtail roll for $5 to go. Both were great. They were nori wrapped and cut large and thin. Lots of fish. The rice was perfect. They are in the newish Wal-mart (lower profile version) strip mall on Red Bug Lake near Tuskawilla.
China Wok - A take out Chinese next to Hokkaido. What you would expect. I had a pint of shrimp fried rice for $4.50 to go. Kind of soggy rice. A fair amount (9) shrimp stuffed at the top of the box. Not many veggie pieces. They say they do New York Style. That can't be possible for two reasons. 1 - I saw no Mexicans working in the kitchen. 2 - New York is moving away from the Americanized chinese food they are speaking of for authentic chinese dishes. If they were serving those, they would say they serve X style chinese food.
