Spring has sprung and so have our appetites. Recently, we headed to Wang Cho Korean BBQ (3911 Grand Ave., Chino, CA), an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ restaurant with a young and hip vibe. There are several large-screen televisions, which makes it the perfect place to eat, drink some beers, and catch a game.

Korean BBQ is a fun and interactive experience, which allows you to cook a variety of meats on a table grill. At Wang Cho, you first select your meat menu — Prince, King, or Emperor — and then order anything to your heart’s desire from that menu for the next two hours. We tried the Wang Cho King, which features many of our favorite beef dishes such as marinated beef short rib and beef tongue. We also love the steamed egg and garlic butter shrimp. It’s safe to say that two hours and eleven plates later, our bellies were happy and we were ready for a nap.

Spotlight Dish: Wang Cho King AYCE Option

BVO Tip: Ask for a side of garlic butter and use it to cook un-marinated meat, such as the Wangcho Steak, for extra flavor.

BVO Eats! – Oke Poke

Soaring temperatures no longer mean consuming the same uninspiring salads. Oke Poke (3277 Grand Ave. Suite L, Chino Hills, CA) offers fun and delicious poke bowls that are sure to cool you down this summer.

Per Oke Poke’s website, “poke is a raw fish based dish that originates from the islands of Hawaii.” Think bite-sized sashimi with Japanese toppings over rice or salad and drizzled in sweet and spicy sauces.

Not a fan of raw fish? Give poke a try, and you might just change your mind. Still not ready to take the leap? They also serve shrimp and baby scallops that you may select in lieu of the raw fish.

Try one of their bowls or customize your own. We love getting creative with making our own. There is a variety of bases, toppings, fishes, and sauces to choose from, which make each experience fun and unique.

Spotlight Dish: Make Your Own: Salmon, Spicy Tuna, and Albacore Bowl

BVO Tip: Don’t be afraid to mix the sauces. We love experimenting with various combinations to give each bowl an unique taste. Our current favorite is Oke Sesame, Oke Sauce, with a bit of Heat.

Advantages of Daily Disposable Contact Lenses

Daily disposable contact lenses are single-use lenses that are removed and discarded at the end of each day, and a fresh pair of lenses is applied to the eyes the next morning. Daily contact lenses are gaining in popularity among practitioners and consumers for their health and convenience benefits.

Personally, I only wear daily contacts because number one, I am a lazy person. I do not want to deal with contact lens solution and storing contact lenses. Since I only wear contact lens for certain activities such as basketball or on a Saturday night out, it makes perfect logic to only wear dailies.

Here are 5 reason why a daily disposable contact lenses might be the best option for you:

Comfort – Since daily contact lens are replaced daily, fresh new contacts are worn each time. With less time for deposits to build on the lenses, each wear provides the patient with the best wearing comfort.
Health – Study and research have shown daily disposable contacts are 6x less likely to cause contact lens related problems than 2 week and 1 month disposable contacts.
Convenience – With all that’s going on from work to children to social lives, we are apt to forget or ignore cleaning and changing contacts. While neglecting this part of contact lens care can pose risks to their eyes, dailies make cleaning unnecessary and changing a breeze.
Cost – Yes an year supply of daily contact lenses are certainly more expensive than a 2 week or 1 month disposable, but if you are a part-time wearer say once or twice a week contact lens wear…you are actually saving money. Also keep in mind, you don’t have to purchase contact lens cleaning solution anymore.
Availability – As technology continues to improve in the contact lens industry, new daily contacts lenses are popping up in the market. Whether it’s astigmatism correcting dailies or multi-focal dailies to help you see distance and near, there is a daily contact lens for your visual needs.

BVO Eats! – Young Dong Tofu

Flavorful. Spicy. Comforting. Young Dong Tofu (3233 Grand Ave., Chino Hills, CA) is a no-brainer when we want authentic Korean food.

They are known for their flavorful tofu soups, which can be made at various spice levels. Kimchi, oyster, beef, seafood, and mushroom are some of the soup flavors available. Each soup is accompanied with rice in a stone bowl. We love scraping off each grain of rice off the sides of the stone bowl — the crispy texture of the rice adds a new dimension to the dish.

Not in the mood for tofu soup? We also love the meat here — think, BBQ beef ribs, spicy pork, and spicy chicken (yum!). These come served on a sizzling platter and the marinade for each is spot on.

Have an appetite? Get a combo at Young Dong Tofu, like we did!

Spotlight Dish: Tofu Soup (oyster, mild) and BBQ beef Combo

BVO Tip: Ask for refills of the “banchan” aka the cold side dishes — they’re free! We can’t get enough of these refreshing side dishes, which perfectly compliment any meat or spicy tofu soup.
