Chinese and Japanese restaurants

Thanks to the fabulous South California weather, many restaurants offer an Al Fresco dining option, which is great at night when the temperature falls slightly, but can be a little uncomfortable on a hot summer afternoon, although these are still popular with anyone wanting to keep their tan topped up while they eat.
