Aunt Kizzy's Back Porch (in the Villa Marina Center)
This is supposed to be one of the best southern 
restaurant in Southern California.  What do they eat?  
Try fried chicken and down-home style baked ribs. Feelin' 
like one heck of a hungry person?  Try the all-you-can-eat 
Sunday brunch; that's all I will say.

Mishima Restaurant

A formal Japanese noodle house where you are served 
beautiful platters of udon and soba. Expect a wait on 
weekends, 'cause the joint is jumping.  Sounds like a 
perfect  place to me; great food at reasonable prices.

The atmosphere is decidedly hip but not pretentious.
A suggestion from Matthew is the crispy chillean sea bass 
(I love sea bass!!) in white truffle sauce is to die for.
