Pinnochio's - A Mediocre Eatery

In my forays into Merced, a couple of things have become apparent. One is that there is plenty to do on the weekends. This is evident by the pulse and glow scorching from the marquee at the Merced Theater. Another is that there are plenty of eateries willing to accommodate the hungry masses who venture downtown at night.

Watch it Grow

The restaurant scene in Merced has been impacted by the arrival of a new eatery in recent days. The Five Ten Bistro began conducting business in early January in a space it shares with the After Five Bar and Lounge in Downtown Merced. It is conveniently located in the row of buildings that line Bob Hart Square at 510 W Main St.

Hibachi Grill Perfect for Sriracha Lovers

The few Japanese restaurants in Merced generally have menus limited to fish that can retain its flavor after being transported to the Central Valley. This is true in the case of Hibachi Grill, a buffet located on Olive Avenue consisting of Japanese, Chinese, and some American fare.

The restaurant is fairly large and comfortable, with efficient and friendly service. The music playing is soft classical piano; fans of Pachelbel's Canon and Bird Song will find the soundtrack excellent.

Branding Iron an Option for Quality Dinner Experience After Graduation

Graduation is an inseparable and ancient part of the education process. It has its own set of rituals and traditions, one of which is the graduation dinner. Finding a suitable restaurant in Merced can be difficult, but there is at least one acceptable establishment: the Branding Iron, a western-themed steak house. Located on 16th Street between M and N, it fits the bill fairly nicely, provided that one is interested in eating large amounts of American-style meat courses.

Thai Star Restaurant

One cuisine that Merced has never lacked is Thai food; there are currently eight restaurants that serve Thai cuisine operating here. Some are of much higher quality than others, of course, and it seems that every UCM student has his or her favorite. The more obscure ones are often overlooked even when they have quite a lot to offer. Such is the case with Thai Star Restaurant, tucked away on Alexander Avenue, just off of G. Street.
