Dinner at a CHOCOLATE & STEAMPUNK Restaurant | Toothsome Chocolate Emporium

[@andreas4268]

Oh Lisa, you had me at the pineapple upside down shake……..whewwww! Love your adventures friends ❤

[@cherylc4151]

I was going to mention this place to you folks when you did the Universal video most recently. I went to an event and wanted to walk around and see what was there since it had been years since I was up there. I used to go when I was younger. I wandered in the side door because they were VERY particular about letting people in that were not eating there (I did buy some things in the store...very fun)! I did not go upstairs (since I was not eating there that day but will go back).The interiors are really interesting. Thanks for posting.

[@billandlisa]

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@Christine_1075]

This is why we love you’re channel 😂

[@danni1501]

[@semaaminadra4157]

I was there 12 years ago. So much has changed. Based on your visit it's definitely worth a revisit.❤ Those shakes looked amazing.

[@winniepoohbear8916]

Those milk shakes looked great! Man, my teeth hurt, though!😁

[@momonakokeshi6325]

I would make a meatloaf sandwich with leftovers.😆 add some veggies and some dill pickles. 😋

[@caseyhansen4008]

VIVO is Fantastic. One of the best meals I have had at Universal.

[@billandlisa]

We'll have to try it one day.

[@karenglaicar5486]

That food looked very interesting lol. The milkshakes looked good. Very loud in there. Nice video. Thanks and take care.

[@billandlisa]

So many choices of shakes, hard to pick one. lol.

[@mariog3121]

This restaurant looks amazing !! Shakes looked very yummy! And the short rib platter. Thanks for sharing this great video !! ❤❤🤗🤗

[@billandlisa]

[@la_meme83]

That espresso shake looks delicious 😋 🍨

[@jamesbrown-gx7ip]

the one thing i noticed right away is the presentation of the food.....looks very good

[@billandlisa]

Agreed, they do a great job on that.

[@debbienishiki7976]

That braised short Rib looks so yummy!! Thanks for another awesome video!!

[@billandlisa]

[@billandlisa]

Thanks so much!!

[@TaunaWestCoast]

Those shakes look so good!! Yummy 😋!

[@irishgip71]

Couldn’t reply “first as always, 😂” but was driving to IKEA (thanks again 😂). You were on and we were listening. I’ll try the chicken and meatballs. You guys are awesome!!! Happy belated 4th

[@billandlisa]

So how did you like Ikea, Wil?? Hope y'all had a great 4th!

[@texadonkey34]

[@juliemolthop8980]

Thank you Thank you Thank you Bill and Lisa for hanging onto the menus for full on description of the food you're eating! I have been wanting to suggest this!! Keep it coming 😊😊

[@billandlisa]

You're welcome, Julie. =)

[@AussieAngeS]

The variety of milkshakes were awesome. The one bill had was fabulous. Bill and lisa, I would love to go to a place like that. So much fun 🤩

[@billandlisa]

You would love that milkshake, Angie! I almost ordered the Key Lime one, next time!

[@Much984]

Those milkshakes looked amazing.

[@billandlisa]

And, quite tasty too!

[@jackiemcglone9225]

Hi Bill and Lisa. Another fun day for you both. The food looked great. I enjoy your videos, Take care guys.

[@billandlisa]

Hi Jackie! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ginNjus]

Chocolate factory.🤣🤣 Practice makes perfect.🙃 The shakes are wild and the short rib looks tender😋.

[@billandlisa]

So true!

[@msavp4481]

What a neat and quirky place! The milkshakes were works of art! I check your community tab every day for your “Where are we heading next?” posts, love those!

[@billandlisa]

Not sure if you have Instagram, Sue. Lisa posts in real time where we are there.

[@msavp4481]

I don’t have instagram. 😕

[@jadehom8067]

Great video and food...the shakes looked so yummy ...safe travels and God Bless 😘🤗💕

[@billandlisa]

Thanks so much, Jade!

[@piperlani]

I knew Bill didn’t like his meatloaf from the get go! It looked tough. Lisa’s short ribs looked great!!! Awesome vids 👍🏼🤙🏼

[@billandlisa]

Yeah, it was okay, I like more of the traditional meatloaf.

[@titasmom678]

No retakes! I love it. You two are so real and authentic! So many things to try. That onion soup sounds so interesting. Thanks for the review. Are we going to New Orleans anytime soon? Maybe after this heatwave is over.

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Carol! New Orleans, yes, after the heat wave. The heat and humidity is brutal there.

[@donnamccormack]

Hi you two....boy did you bring me back home....universal has changed so much....I will never forget talking my friend into taking the #5 RTD bus to universal and skipping school.... 😊 Then saw a few good concerts at the Universal Amphitheater...Thank you guys from a former South Bay Girl...Love ❤

[@billandlisa]

Our pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@bettyzipkin7129]

Another great restaurant review. The braised short ribs looked outstanding!!! My son and family will be going to Universal Studios in August. I will definitely steer them to Toothsome Chocolate Emporium.

[@billandlisa]

Sounds great! Have a fun time!

[@danielvallelunga1596]

Hey Lisa!!!!! Hey Bill !!!!! I like beef English cut short ribs, tender cooked in my crock pot 🍲 🍲 🍴 🍽 🍽 🍴 Glad you guys enjoyed it together ❤ 😊

[@billandlisa]

Thanks!!

[@ireneaguilar872]

You too are keeping it real.

[@arlenet.1520]

Hi Bill and Lisa! Hope you had a great holiday weekend! Chocolate Heaven with sinful desserts…Adding this to my vacation bucket list…wondering if this is as good or better than that Black Tap place which everyone loves…lol! I’m adding other places to my list as you two were walking…Dong Po etc Thanks for sharing this experience!

[@billandlisa]

Black Tap is great place for shakes and burgers. Toothsome is different in a good chocolate kind of way. If you have time, visit both places! =)

[@susanburnett6123]

That whole meal looked yummy. The meatloaf looked good but maybe heavy for summer. There is a meatloaf on the internet call mini brb cheddar bacon meatloaf, I bet Bill would love. My grandsons swear it is the best. Have a great weekend.

[@billandlisa]

Oh wow! Sounds good!

[@devoncopley9296]

Thanks for sharing. I’m still riding we you guys. Be safe and have fun.🙏🏽❤️🥰🇺🇸💥🇺🇸💥👼🏾👼🏾🥂🍸

[@billandlisa]

Thanks so much!

[@yvonneacosta2539]

👍 Glad you went back to Universal Studios Walk. Haven't done a video there for a while. Love the steampunk vibe of the restaurant. The food all looks so good. Making me hungry! It's OK Bill for saying "Factory" instead of "Emporium" (that was funny) because Lisa kept calling "Antojitos" (an toe he toes) "Antijojos" (an tee hoe hose). LOL

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Yvonne! LOL on Lisa!!

[@markakira8988]

Did the milkshakes bring all the boyz' to the yard? 9:17, the consumed wing flat...there was still meat on the bone. 😥😥 Agreed, French onion soups are hot and will burn your mouth. They are the Hot Pockets of soup.

[@billandlisa]

They did! And then some!! lol

[@markakira8988]

@@billandlisa 😆

[@veniceLB]

Ooh! I thought this place was in Orlando! Happy to see it at the Citywalk! We're hoping to head that way later this year, hope we get to try it! The espresso milkshake looked amazing! Thanks for another great vid :)

[@billandlisa]

You're very welcome!

[@michellel3596]

Really enjoyed this vlog! Those shakes remind me of Sugar Factory - have you ever tried those? Everything looked delicious!! Might have to check it out again next time I’m in California.

[@billandlisa]

We tried the alcohol drinks at the Vegas Sugar Factory, so big and fancy!

[@Catips-i1v]

🤩 Fun

[@arlenedisneydreaming]

We have been wanting to try out the Toothsome Chocolate Emporium, thanks for the review! The shakes do look amazing! I heard the chocolate bread is a good starter, but it sounds a little weird to me. LOL! ❤

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Arlene! Shakes are great! So many to choose from.

[@grottorabbit]

Wish the Chocolate Factory had Thai food from Thailand or fish seafood 😂 I saw another review and they couldn't taste the coffee or chocolate on the wings either, they should serve a coffee/chocolate sauce with it. They should serve the meatloaf with some pearl onions for more flavor, they're usually really good with a wine reduction sauce too. Bill's shake looked really good too!

[@nbutch7878]

Watch both of you all the time. My birthday is on July 8. Birthday wish for a shout out. Thanks Nelson .

[@billandlisa]

For sure! Look for it in a couple weeks.

[@nbutch7878]

Love you both.

[@islandGG]

Chocolate Emporium Bill!! Remember your lines 😆.. Lisa's so cute teasing you. Me, I would have given you the cheer we made up in high school .....it goes Tada da da da dahhh MODED!!! Hahahaha . PBHS (Banning) btw. Had to insert that word cuz I miss it. I saw it in one of your Disney World vid.. I got all .. Wow!! We need to bring that word back 😛😜. Anyhoo, thanks for bringing us around.. city walk was our reg place to eat at, but it's been maybe. 2017-18 since we've made a visit there . Parking was only 10 back then. It's been close to 25 years since we've been to the studio part. Now I wanna go back.. thanks for showing us the goods Brah! Smooches n Hugs to ya both. PS what time of day did you guys go.. Cuz it's a lot less crowded 👍🏾 . Imma gonna drag hubbybee soon .

[@billandlisa]

Moded... taking it way back! lol. We went on a Wednesday. The park was busy, but not too bad at CityWalk.

[@epet513]

Haven't been to Citywalk in years. Surprised so many places are still around. I miss Wolfgang Puck Cafe.

[@lorifreeman1746]

Can you say wow I feel like I gained fifty pounds just watching I think I liked Lisa's meal the best ❤️

[@laurens.7510]

I agree. I will go next weekend and drag someone to get one of those drinks but hard pass on the meals.

[@vernolabullock5918]

God bless the both of y'all always and the place u are eating. At reminds me of the movie Charlie and the Chocolate factory with Gene Wilder or Johnny Depp. I also hope that the family got to enjoy the 4th of July. Safe traveling 🙏 😊❤

[@billandlisa]

Yes, has some Charlie and the Chocolate Factory vibes going in. Lisa and I had the 4th off, stay tuned for that video. =)

[@Alan-sl7qz]

Great video again, Bill and Lisa, those milkshakes looked amazing, was wondering if you can custom order them to be lactose free using soy milk or oat milk, like Lisa's milkshake? They have those options at Starbucks.

[@billandlisa]

Great question, I would think yes.

[@aces7515]

I’ll have Bills milkshake!!

[@billandlisa]

So good!!

[@Christine_1075]

Hello 👋🏽 Bill & Lisa 😊

[@billandlisa]

Hi Christine!

[@mkoga9168]

Too bad the lady and the robot were not around to video with you...I am glad you enjoyed yourself!

[@billandlisa]

Yes, sadly they didn't make an appearance while we were here.

[@jmbear628]

that eatery is most different. shakes and plates had different not traditional presentations. but taste is taste and you liked.

[@billandlisa]

Yes, different setting for sure, but interesting in a Wonka kind of way.

[@jadehom8067]

Yqw Lisa and Bill ❤❤❤

[@makila9493]

12/7 is our wedding anniversary. So we will go to Universal Studios city walk and take lunch at this restaurant. I’m so excited! We will go to dinner Brazilian Restaurant @ Torrance.

[@billandlisa]

Have fun! Happy Anniversary!

[@Vsc-yicu101]

❤

[@rhondalockrey9592]

Looks as close to Willy Wonka as we can get looks like a good menu to keep going back too!!!

[@billandlisa]

Yes, had the chocolate vibes going on!

[@swnagas2468]

I love Bill's shirt. Whats on it? Its so cool.

[@billandlisa]

Thanks! Lord of the Rings print.

[@swnagas2468]

I thought so. Love it!❤️❤️❤️

[@-amosc.presley-7192]

Happy 4th of July was Yesterday on a Tuesday with Fireworks at Night. But, Happy Wednesdays the 5th today.

[@billandlisa]

Happy Wednesday, Amos! Hope you had a great 4th!

[@jessicasisneros1002]

Great video Bill and Lisa! We are planning a trip in December to Disneyland and want to do a day at Universal. How is the traffic driving from Disneyland to Universal and back? Any tips for Universal newbies?

[@billandlisa]

Traffic... not good, an hour without traffic and that's rare. Just take your time and be patient. Tips.. Hit up what you really want to do and eat first.

[@Christine_1075]

Braised Short Rib 🤤

[@kevinc.3903]

Wasn't that restaurant a Hard Rock Cafe in the past...?

[@billandlisa]

Yes, it's the old Hard Rock location.

[@gorymarty56]

I wanna try that , they have it in Orlando 2

[@billandlisa]

Worth checking out!

[@tponcegonzalez]

We’re you at universal on Sunday? We were there. We tried the restaurant Saturday nite. We didn’t realize the mason jars are ours :/. Oh well it was yummy too. My son tried the chocolate brownie one.

[@billandlisa]

It was a couple Wednesdays ago. We didn't realize we could keep the jars too!

[@sherriedolder900]

Bill, your shirt is so cute! Lisa, is the French onion soup salty? Sometimes, French onion soups are overly salted.

[@billandlisa]

Not salty, just had that hint of tomato in it. Thanks!!

[@kallihug3022]

Do fries come with that shake??? (its a song)

[@donnamccormack]

Lisa...I kept trying to read your T shirt

[@billandlisa]

New York. =)

[@timanctil8225]

I haven't heard someone get called a "lame-o" since the 80's...

[@billandlisa]

Right??!! Trying to bring it back! lol

[@Jupe367]

What if you are full from your meal and don’t have room to finish the shake. Can you take the mug home or leave it?

[@billandlisa]

Menu said it’s served in a souvenir mug, so sounds like yes. We didn’t know til afterwards.

[@dflenn9423]

Little dinky wings.

[@annasnewchapter1033]

Hey!!!! Wanted to let you know my B-Day is Aug. 15th.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thank U - Be Safe❤❤ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@billandlisa]

Happy upcoming Birthday, Anna!! Thanks so much!!

[@kathleenmunoz4465]

Braised short rib looks yummy. I would pass on the meatloaf. Too much stuff on it.

[@billandlisa]

Yup, go for the short rib.

[@ladygoodday]

Vegan and sugar free!

[@-amosc.presley-7192]

Trying out New things (food) will sometimes Burn your Pockets.

[@billandlisa]

True, but had to give it a try.

[@PNW980]

Love your vids! Buuuut, $16.95 for 6 dinky wings that don’t even match the flavor profile advertised. Hellllll no. Just terrible and not worth it. And $34 bucks for two shakes…ridiculous. Some of these businesses are out of control. And it’s all lies perpetuated by the thought that we have to charge more because of this and that. We are being screwed.

[@billandlisa]

Agreed, expensive for sure. Almost like being on the Vegas Strip. lol

[@dbljinc664]

Hopefully they won't go to far adding chocolate to savory dishes. They won't last long if non chocolate eaters don't think there will be food for them to eat. And whenever meatloaf is available thats the choice.

[@billandlisa]

Yes, I usually order the meatloaf as well. But this time, the short rib was the winner.

[@thathodgepodgeguy7156]

17 bucks for a milkshake yikes LOL

[@billandlisa]

Yeah, a bit pricey, but they're really good and make great Instagram pics. lol

[@danni1501]

Whoa!!!! Awesome shakes. Yes‼️Dessert first. 💙💙💙. Short Ribs♥️. Thank you for a great video🌺🌺🌺

[@billandlisa]

Yes!! Shakes set the mood!! lol
