<p>What is your favorite restaurant from all the places you have been stationed? </p><p> </p><p>Personally, mine is the "Ghengis Khan Mongolian BBQ" in Okinawa outside the main gate of Kadena. Don't know if it's still there but the food is great.</p><p> </p><p>I think knowing the better places to patronize will help service-members in deciding a place to dine at. </p>
Update: I'm adding "Mooyah's Burgers and Fries" and "Cheddars" to my list. Both are in the Foot Hood area.

I liked "Five Guys" is Nashville, Pankcake house outside of gate four in Fort Campbell. I also like Bosa Nova outside of the main gate of Camp Casey.

What kind of food did they have in Bosa Nova? I'm guessing Korean but there are different types of restaurants In Korea.

Bosa Nova was a Brazilian Steak House. I also like their Korean food. My favorite Korean restaurants were the KSB over by 302d's Dfac (Camp Casey), the "Pig and Cow" in Jihaeng, and Big Mama's in the Casey Ville.

oh, that's some good stuff right there. I was on Yongsan for my tour and ate at the KSB on Camp Coiner. It's pretty good although I heard a few other KSBs were better.

The KSB's were the best. And very inexpspensive. Mostly I miss that nearly every restaurant delivered to include McDonalds. At first that was a bit weird. But I had quickly gotten used to the convenience.

I'm not sure if it was a mixed menu or specific to a region. I usually got a dish they called chicken kadai. That's an Indian dish if I'm not mistaken. It was spicy chicken served with vegetables and rice.
They had some of the best pizza in all of Asia too.

Haven't tried Indian cuisine just yet but would like to. I've heard it can be a bit on the spicy side.

The one in the news now - Old Fisherman's Grotto, Monterey, CA. Mr. Shake owned it back then and this wouldn't be in the news under his watch.

SSG (Join to see) If you like Greek, make the trip to Dallas and go to Stratos near Love Field. Nikko the owner is a little strange at times, but the food is great. There is also a Mediterranean buffet called Terra in Los Colinas that is always packed.

Cpl (Join to see), I will be sure to check it out some time. Thanks for the heads up. A great dessert place to go to in Dallas is "Sweet Frog". Totally awesome frozen yogurt but it'll cost you a bit. It cost me about $32 for my family of four to go but it's really good.

The cordon blue and the pomme frits when I was stationed in Germany was too die for, and I really can't forget the awesome Korean food when I was stationed in Korea.

That's great. Wish I could try it but never really been to Germany except as a layover.

All time favorite, CoCo's Curry House...There used to be an all you eat/drink in Korea named Carne Station. It went out of business though :( Maybe because I gave them so much business.
Used to be a food truck at Bragg outside the mini mall that had good BBQ.
When I was at Fort Detrick we enjoyed hitting the places up that were on those show from Food Network.
Kuwait had a Mickey D's which at that time was like a frickin 6 star Gordon Ramsey event and the opening of Cinnabon in Iraq preceded by the mortaring of the Cinnabon in Iraq.
Damn, I sound like a fat kid after re-reading what I have. Oh, Hooters is a Godsend for TDYs.

Where is CoCo's located? I can agree with the McDs in Kuwait. Been there many times coming in or going out.

When I was in ('66 thru '78) going to a restaurant was a major splurge as back then, we weren't paid well enough. Still, one of my all-time favorite places was in Fairfax County on US Hwy 1, a few miles north of Ft. Belvoir. A small place that was simply named, "Mike's." At one time I guess it was a greasy spoon; but an Italian immigrant bought it in the mid 1970's. The purchase agreement did not allow him to change the name. I ETS's in Dec '78 but have been back their twice in the late 80's and mid 90's. The reason I could afford to eat there was my wife worked there.
The owner's name was (surprise!) Luigi Tonizzo, and his best friend back then was the pastry chef at the White House. You can imagine what his desserts were like! WOW!
Luigi's specialty was veal and I've yet to find any place with any veal nearly as good. While in the Army, he had really cleaned the place up ... vinyl table cloths, but the food was 5-Star! When I went back in the 80's, it was REALLY spiffed-up .. linen table cloths and framed newspaper articles about his success and he'd become famous and his prices reflected that! :( Still, it was worth going back. I don't recall if he still had pizza on the menu like he did when I was in the Army. Then, he would actually get angry when people world order pizza, "... because that's NOT ITALIAN FOOD!" Funny guy, but his pizza was still the best.
Oh no! I Googled Mike's and they closed in June 2011. So much for our going there during our next 437th/521st MP Companies Reunion!
