Yamashiro

The view of Hollywood from Yamashiro. I am unable to upload the panoramic photo due to size constraint.

 It was a Sunday afternoon, we went to Hollywood to check out

supposedly the best roast chicken in town at "Zhankou Chicken."

It was way beyond our expextations; best of all, it was a very affordable, no-tip environment.

To burn off the calories, we decided to check out Yamashiro on the

hilltop. 6 dollars were spent for mandatory valet parking.  Kenny took

some nice pictures of the panaromic Hollyhood at sunset, including the

600-year-old Japanese patoga.     We couldn't get the table with views without reservation.  Instead,

we got seated in the lounge, which did not offer too much for

non-alcoholic drinkers.  The price was a little bit on the expensive

side for what they offered, especially without the view.  The

value-price Zankou Chicken didn't help in justifying for the drinks

either.  Restrooms are pretty nice though.  Then we just took off.

I think if we had made reservation ahead of time and weren't full

from the chicken, we would have had a great time there.  So maybe next

time.
