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.
The chocolate “factory”…theme , food, shakes and vibes look great! I love chocolate! I need to try it when I go Cali. A short drive from LAS. Great to see you both! Aloha🌺
Fantastic shopping center! Toothsome chocolate emporium, wow! I would love the espresso milkshake. Lisa’s dinner looked so good! Thanks for taking us along. Hope someday to see you two in Vegas! Safe travels!❤❤
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 ❤
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
Another great video❤ the milkshake looked refreshing! Thanks for showing us your adventures and it feels like we are on vacations with you guys!!!😊 cant get enough !!! ❤ always look forward to your videos😊😊
Im so glad you guys went here! I was hoping you would review it. It looks so interesting, and i love the steampunk concept with it. Shakes looked particularly good. And i loved Bill's shirt. Thank you!!
Paying for parking at Universal Studios to then eat at Taco Bell, KFC, Cinnabon; no thanks. Definitely try the restaurants you've never been to before or those you rarely go to. The Chocolate Emporium was a surprising great find.
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.
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 😊😊
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.
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.
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 :)
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!
👍 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
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!
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.
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!
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.
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 .
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.
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! ❤
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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 🙏 😊❤
I’m hoping everyone had an amazing Fourth of July. Aloha. Be safe.
Thanks Lawrence!

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching.
I was there 12 years ago. So much has changed. Based on your visit it's definitely worth a revisit.❤ Those shakes looked amazing.
This is why we love you’re channel 😂
The wings, short rib and shakes look good .
2:51
“Antojitos”
Lisa: “Auntie ho hoes 😂😂”
Had me laughing

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

Thanks!!
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.
Sounds great! Have a fun time!
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.
Thanks Carol! New Orleans, yes, after the heat wave. The heat and humidity is brutal there.
Haven't been to Citywalk in years. Surprised so many places are still around. I miss Wolfgang Puck Cafe.
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 :)
You're very welcome!
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 🤩
You would love that milkshake, Angie! I almost ordered the Key Lime one, next time!
Wish the Chocolate Factory had Thai food from Thailand or fish seafood 😂

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!
I knew Bill didn’t like his meatloaf from the get go! It looked tough. Lisa’s short ribs looked great!!! Awesome vids 👍🏼🤙🏼
Yeah, it was okay, I like more of the traditional meatloaf.
👍
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
Thanks Yvonne! LOL on Lisa!!
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!
Not sure if you have Instagram, Sue. Lisa posts in real time where we are there.
I don’t have instagram. 😕
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.
Have fun! Happy Anniversary!
Can you say wow I feel like I gained fifty pounds just watching I think I liked Lisa's meal the best ❤️
I agree. I will go next weekend and drag someone to get one of those drinks but hard pass on the meals.
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!
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! =)
You too are keeping it real.
Hi Bill and Lisa. Another fun day for you both. The food looked great. I enjoy your videos, Take care guys.
Hi Jackie! Glad you enjoyed it!
🤩 Fun
Too bad the lady and the robot were not around to video with you...I am glad you enjoyed yourself!
Yes, sadly they didn't make an appearance while we were here.
That espresso shake looks delicious 😋 🍨
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.
We tried the alcohol drinks at the Vegas Sugar Factory, so big and fancy!
Great video and food...the shakes looked so yummy ...safe travels and God Bless 😘🤗💕
Thanks so much, Jade!
Wasn't that restaurant a Hard Rock Cafe in the past...?
Yes, it's the old Hard Rock location.
that eatery is most different. shakes and plates had different not traditional presentations. but taste is taste and you liked.
Yes, different setting for sure, but interesting in a Wonka kind of way.
Those shakes look so good!! Yummy 😋!
I’ll have Bills milkshake!!
So good!!
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.

PS what time of day did you guys go.. Cuz it's a lot less crowded 👍🏾 . Imma gonna drag hubbybee soon .
Moded... taking it way back! lol. We went on a Wednesday. The park was busy, but not too bad at CityWalk.
Happy 4th of July was Yesterday on a Tuesday with Fireworks at Night.
But, Happy Wednesdays the 5th today.
Happy Wednesday, Amos! Hope you had a great 4th!
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.
Great question, I would think yes.
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! ❤
Thanks Arlene! Shakes are great! So many to choose from.
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.
They did! And then some!! lol
@@billandlisa 😆
Watch both of you all the time. My birthday is on July 8. Birthday wish for a shout out. Thanks Nelson .
For sure! Look for it in a couple weeks.
Love you both.
Looks as close to Willy Wonka as we can get looks like a good menu to keep going back too!!!
Yes, had the chocolate vibes going on!
Hello 👋🏽 Bill & Lisa 😊
Hi Christine!
I wanna try that , they have it in Orlando 2
Worth checking out!
Braised Short Rib 🤤
Yqw Lisa and Bill ❤❤❤
I love Bill's shirt. Whats on it? Its so cool.
Thanks! Lord of the Rings print.
I thought so. Love it!❤️❤️❤️
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.
It was a couple Wednesdays ago. We didn't realize we could keep the jars too!
Lisa...I kept trying to read your T shirt
New York. =)
❤
I haven't heard someone get called a "lame-o" since the 80's...
Right??!! Trying to bring it back! lol
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?
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.
Bill, your shirt is so cute! Lisa, is the French onion soup salty? Sometimes, French onion soups are overly salted.
Not salty, just had that hint of tomato in it. Thanks!!
Trying out New things (food) will sometimes Burn your Pockets.
True, but had to give it a try.
Braised short rib looks yummy. I would pass on the meatloaf. Too much stuff on it.
Yup, go for the short rib.
Little dinky wings.
Hey!!!! Wanted to let you know my B-Day is Aug. 15th.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thank U - Be Safe❤❤ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy upcoming Birthday, Anna!! Thanks so much!!
Vegan and sugar free!
Do fries come with that shake??? (its a song)
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?
Menu said it’s served in a souvenir mug, so sounds like yes. We didn’t know til afterwards.
6:33 Guys do you get to keep the glass/mug?
According to the menu, they can be kept, but we didn't notice that at the time (nor the server mentioned it?) so we missed out. =(
@@billandlisa Darn it. It seemed like a good souvenir.
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.
Yes, I usually order the meatloaf as well. But this time, the short rib was the winner.
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.
Agreed, expensive for sure. Almost like being on the Vegas Strip. lol
17 bucks for a milkshake yikes LOL
Yeah, a bit pricey, but they're really good and make great Instagram pics. lol
Whoa!!!! Awesome shakes. Yes‼️Dessert first. 💙💙💙. Short Ribs♥️. Thank you for a great video🌺🌺🌺
Yes!! Shakes set the mood!! lol
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 🙏 😊❤
Yes, has some Charlie and the Chocolate Factory vibes going in. Lisa and I had the 4th off, stay tuned for that video. =)
