this place hasn't existed in a very, very, very long time.
it just sits there on the corner of bancroft n' oxford, unoccupied,
taking up very valuable real estate. what a waste of space.

this restaurant is now named viceroy. they still have a buffet
lunch. it's average; thus the 2 stars.

| Oliveto | Oakland, CA | |
|
this restaurant is listed 2x
on this webpage. i urge the editors/webmasters to please
consolidate these 2 listings!
i wanted to try oliveto while i live so close to it. it's
in the rockridge neighbourhood of oakland, on college ave.
altho' street parking is hard, i'll hook u up w/ a tip that there
is a parking lot in the back. that's a big hook up, i tell
u... neway, oliveto is beautifully decorated.
the fud is very delcious, altho' a li'l 2 rich 4 my taste.
in ne case, 1nce in a while u gotta splurge. save
oliveto 4 those occassion; don't expect to have healthy fud there.
we had pate, braised rabbit, grilled swordfish, n' a chocolate
dessert w/ chocolate mousse surrounded by a tiramisulike cake.
we also had a 0.5 bottle of navarro pinot noir. i
really did like the swordfish, served w/ artichoke, altho' it
was in a very rich sauce.
let me sum up: oliveto is very rich fud, n' it's quite a bit overpriced.
i would have given this restaurant a higher rating, but
it's 2 expensive. consider this a low 4 because of the price.
still, i'm sure u have special nites to celebrate, don'tchu?

the best dish is
the "fish on a vine." this is nouveau chinese cuisine.
it's sometimes not so traditional, but it is definitely
good. this restaurant has a very romantic atmosphere,
dimly lit, located underground, in the embarcadero district
of sf. the service is very, very friendly n' attentive.
the manager helped us select a good wine n' served us some
of our dishes. we ordered the price fixe dinner, where
u select some appetizers, a soup, some entrées, some
veggies, n' a dessert, but that was 2 much fud! i reccomend
just ordering from the menu. the "jade n' ebony" was a delicious
more traditional chinese dish: bok choy n' shiitake shrooms.
still "fish on a vine" was the best! a fried fish w/ wine
sauce n' grapes. it was very well presented. |

| Ocean Palace Restaurant | San Jose, CA | |

i'm
giving this restaurant only 3 stars, but i really want
to give it more. it's good, but in comparison to all sorts'a
chinese restaurants that have popped up in the last few yrs in
the silicon valley, it's only so.so. but it's definitely
1 of the best in that particular neighbourhood of san jo, that
area by monterey hwy.
back in the day, in the 80s, this was the premier chinese restaurant
that chinese.american n' taiwanese.american families in the
almaden valley'd go to when they wanted to go out to eat.
it'd be typical to c all sorts'a leland high skool kids n' their
parents there. wasn't that an awkward experience back
in hs n' ms? running into ur classmate w/ ur families present?
u weren't sure how to behave... in the early 80s,
this place was called ocean dragon, n' the hong kong bakery was
nextdoor. the hk bakery is long gone now, n' the mall's
pretty run down. there's the choi's taekwondo masters
dojang there... is that the choi that has "team choi" n' all those
good san josé competitors? i wonder.
neway, it's still a good restaurant. my favourite
thing to order there has been the 8 treasures clay pot.
last time i ordered it, it wasn' it a clay pot, but a steel pot.
it was still good. it's not very expensive either.
it's something they do well, i think. uhm... it's
not called 8 treasures clay pot in english, it sez something like
"combination bean curd clay pot." uh... "bean curd, "
huh? why don't ppl just call it "tofu." it's a pretty
well accepted term now that we're in the 21st century in america.
if u r an english speaking american n' don't know what "tofu"
is, u don't really speak english. sorry, dude...
that's just the way it is... some things'll never change.
ok... neway! the walnut prawns r fine here. they're almost
always a crowd pleaser @ ne restaurant... it looks like u hafta
be a very bad cook to make walnut prawns that don't please
ur guests! &nsbp; it's like making mozzarella sticks... the
grease should be satisfying enuf... to some extent. some
places do make really good walnut prawns 2.
the sizzling scallops? eh, so so... scallops w/ string beans
served on that cute, black, cow.shaped , fajita grill plate that
they sometimes use @ korean sootbooljip 4 bulgogi or 4 dwaeji
gui or dalk gui or ojinguh or whatever animal they feel like putting
on a cow.shaped plate!
well, it's a nice place 4 a family dinner... order whatever's
the daily special if u can.

| Blue Moon Diner | Corte Madera, CA | |

blue moon
diner: it's
in the corte madera village mall's fud court, along w/ boudin,
la salsa, a crepe place, sorabol, sushi island, sbarro's, n'
maybe a hot dog place or something, i 4get. neway, blue
moon diner is ok but very overpriced. i had a turkey burger
4 $5.95. it came w/ cole slaw, that's good. the cole
slaw had rich dressing n' plenty of red cabbage. i added
on fries 4 $1 more. a small diet coke costs $1. well,
my meal was 'bout $8.35 4 a burger lunch. dude, i can go to
mc yuk yuk's n' get a $1.99 mini meal! but then 'gain, i wanted
just to give this place a shot, u know? 'twas a well cooked
turkey burger, a li'l charred, but ok. it was served on
a whole wheat bun w/ honey mustard, shredded lettuce, onion,
n' tomato. it was a filling meal.
this place also serves breakfast. they've got all
sorts'a egg dishes, pancakes, french toast... it all
looks 2 expensive tho'. they've got shakes. the
patty melt looks really popular.

4 some reason,
this restaurant is listed under some other address in richmond,
instead of el cerrito...
supermike lim the burmese.chinese.indian.all.american.lover
introduced me to this place, telling me that his thai friends
say
it's the best in the bay area. i had passed by this place w/ it's
stilted location on san pablo many times b4 i actually went in.
my
old roommie vince'd go, "wow, that restaurant's on stilts!"
all the
time. yah, it is. it really looks like well... a dump from outside,
but it's pretty nice on the inside n' the fud is awesome! yah, i
guess it's 1 of the best thai places in the east bay / sf area.
they also have a location on solano now, sa wooei #2. wow, that
1 is
really nicely decorated! well, neway, let's talk 'bout the fud,
right? mmm... the seafud soup... i 4get the name, but it's sweet
n'
sour w/ all sorts of seafud, n' it's served in a firepot! yah, that
firepot is a very nice touch! i appreciate things like that! it
has
lemongrass n' basil, etc. it's really good! it's a good portion
2. k,
what else? the pad ma kur: yum, yum, yum! eggplant, chicken...
a
brown, soy sauceish sauce. yum, yum, yum. the pad thai: yes, good.
maybe not the star of the nite, but very good. the star of the nite
was the soup.
very good, nice, quaint location... the solano 1'd make a
better date
location. service is polite. |

| Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. | Monterey, CA | |

the atmosphere is like tgif's. it's the all.american family
version of a frat party. yes, the rear glass wall has a
fantastic view. they constantly play the movie _forrest_gump_.
the service is very loud... uhm, u'd think u were s'pposed to
get up n' do a cheer along w/ the servers or something. they
also do that thing where the server sits down @ the table w/ u
when he/she takes ur order. u know, i think that's _very_
unprofessional of restaurants like chili's, outback, etc.
to do
that sorta thing. is the waiter/waitress _that_ tired? then
he/she should take a break. did i invite u to sit down @ my
table? neway, maybe i'm just an old fart w/ conservative,
traditional views. i'm a frickin' 25 now! i don't always
understand what u young'uns r talking 'bout, u know. u wanna
kick it w/ me? kick what?! what r we gonna kick? sure, let's
go kick it! what the heck! might as well!
neway, let's get down to the fud. they give u plenty. don't bother w/ ordering a side salad, u'll waste ur money on some generic greens drenched in ho.hum ranch dressing! the clam chowder? mmm... much better! their superstar entrée is the bucket of boat trash. yum yum yum! it's deep.fried, battered seafud on top of fries: li'l miniature lobster tails, shrimp, n' fish. man! this is really good! i tell u... yah, i criticise these new.fangled service techniques, but those mini lobster tails really make up 4 it. it's kind'a pricey tho': $16.99. so don't bother w/ the $3.29 yuk yuk salad... this is basically a pricey fish n' chips joint. don't pretend it's some fancy restaurant where u can get a decent salad. uhm, that salad really bothered me, huh? i keep talkin' 'bout it. well, the beautiful kaela kang ordered the prawns in spicy broth thing, n' that was really good 2. she also had a pretty good smoothie. there! if ya gotta getchur serving of fruits n' veggies, order the smoothie n' skip the salad! make sure u visit the aquarium!!!! |

| Prego Northern Italian Ristorante | San Francisco, CA | |
|
this is a nice, classy, hip italian restaurant in the union st.
yuppy district of the city. it's right next to betlenut. it's
got a nice dimly lit decor n' a full bar. it's not necessarily
really crowded on a sun evening, so if u r in the
neighbourhoood, u can think 'bout stoppin' by if u feel like it.
we had the carpaccio, a garden weed salad w/ roasted duck boobs, a nice lobster filled seafud pasta pouch (ravioli.esque) dish, n' baked pollo boobs w/ rosemary n' garlic on polenta w/ some asianish mustard greens, string beans, n' 'shrooms. it was all really good n' tasty. the pollo boobs were very seasoned; they were not really salty or nething, but very seasoned. the polenta was soft w/ a baked firm outer skin. the seafud pasta pouch thingies came in a cream sauce. the portion looked a bit small to me, but that's not the pt, i s'ppose. i was starving when i got there, so i gobbled up the breadsticks as we looked @ the menu. the service was okay, pretty laidback n' casual... maybe a li'l 2 casual 4 _that_ kind of restaurant, but it's ok. |

this place was a pleasant surprise. it's nice to be pleasantly
surprised, ain't it? i've passed by it n' cn it, driving on
solano ave., but i never tried it till that 1 fateful nite.
yes, it's very affordable n' a good value. i had a vegetarian sandwich. it was very good. the pastas n' salads were also very good. it's a pretty casual place, yet the fud is not overly casual. the service is 'bout right. it's a good restaurant, n' i hope they do well. if u have a group of friends who want italian fud, but don't wanna go newhere 2 fancy but not 2 ghetto (old spaghetti factory nowadays), then u should come here. |

| Harris' Restaurant | San Francisco, CA | |
|
hey, young'uns! beware! this ain't a cheap place, so well...
students, etc... even tho' it might sound kewl to try a ritzy
place like this... well, don't 4get that it is pretty expensive.
maybe it's the best steakhouse in sf. i'm not the best steak or
meat critic in the world tho'. if i were to spend my money on a
really extravagnat dinner, i'd prob'ly opt 4 something more
innovative, less traditional. i usually go to places that have
sort of a cali4nian, european, asian/fusion menu, when i go to
"fancy" places. however, it's not bad to have a carnivorous
dinner now n' then. ok.... my warning goes out to college
students n' also to vegetarians. this is not a place 4
vegetarians! i really sympathise w/ y'all. tho' i'm not a
vegetarian by belief, i _do_ like to eat healthy n' like to have
vegetarian/vegan selections available to me, 'specially if
i'm
at a restaurant, which isn't necessarily a cultural experience
of ne sort.
this is a "fancy" restaurant. altho' they don't say nething 'bout requiring a jackets on gentlemen like the carnelian room or nething, i admonish, "dress up a li'l, " unless u'r w/ a big group of friends that doesn't need to care if ppl look down on ur threads cos u'll take 'em on neway. but beef eating folk r often big folks 2; yet 'nother warning. ha ha. u know, the kind'a guy i am, i'd _never_ take a lady/woman/chick to a steakhouse 4 a date! i, myself, 'd think it's kind'a tacky, but maybe it's more that it doesn't portray me accurately. oh no, i'm no commie, n' i might be able to talk a li'l 'bout the holy bible here n' there; but well, criminy! i received my education @ the university of cali4nia at berkeley! berkeley, 4 cryin' out loud... i studied in etcheverry hall n' ate falafels, hummous, n' kebabs @ mustafer's bro's beirut restaurant every day! oh, phooey! awright then! call me freakin' hippy! but i know i'm nething but that. well, neway, on w/ the review! so my friends took me there 4 my 25th b.day. i felt bad 4 some of them cos i know a bunch'a students don't need to spend their money on me @ such a ritzy place. but i guess it's nice 4 us to congregate in a nice place. i didn't expect it to be _such_ a nice place... neway, let's keep it real n' talk 'bout the fud, k? i ordered... well, 1st, i ordered their much.talked.bout.on.the.menu on.the.stem martini. it was on the appetizer menu. it was a good martini, n' they serve u a glass plus their li'l beaker of the remainder. i have my martinis w/ gin. i had the steak tartare. raw boef! yes! if i'm gonna eat red meat, i might as well have it raw! yah, it was really good, flavourful. i had their salmon. it was a pretty good fish. i ordered it cos i didn't want 2 much red meat, altho' i knew that steak is obviously their specialty. many of my friends enjoyed their steaks n' prime rib. i had a bite of their ny steak. yes, it was good. the prime rib looked good. i saw some huge cuts of prime rib n' huge porterhouse steaks. let's sum it up: delicious dishes, fancy atmosphere, my friend got poked w/ the bread crumb scraper, the waiter was humble (that's good.), 'nuthing 4 vegetarians, my friends were shocked by the cutting fee... but i assured them it was normal... but my friend argued w/ the waiter 'bout it, n' they were nice 'nuf to take it off the bill. i don't mention this to prove that my crew knows how to stir up trouble in a pleasant place but to show that this restaurant does have nice ppl werking there. k, that's my review. |

as critics always say, u _must_ try the polenta fries! yes,
they r great! some sandwiches come w/ a side of polenta fries.
the putanesca is good here, yes. it's a li'l bit of an
underrated berkeley place. it isn't all that old of an
establishment, i s'ppose. it's on the side of campus that isn't
visited all that much. yah, the restaurant part of this place
is more to talk 'bout than the cafe. the sandwiches n' salads r
great.

i've been here b4, last nite, phil, kaela, n' i went to eat
sushi there. uhm, u know that it's been under new management
since, i dunno... a yr or 2 'go, right? they _used_ to have
that wed nite sushi boat buffet, but i dunno if they got that
now. i think this restaurant deserves more than 2 stars, 'least
3. it's no kirala, but it's good fud.
we ordered more of the fancy rolls. the oh my god! maki ($7.95) was featured on their white board n' was very, very good. what is it? ebi tenpura n' calirollish stuff inside w/ spicy hamachi on top. yum yum! rainbow roll ($8.95) was yum yum 2. super cali... yum yum... shitake roll, plain but good. uhm, we had other stuff... neway, the sushi was very tasty. the fish was fresh. the only complaint is that the seaweed was kind'a hard to bit off. like u had to shove the whole piece of maki in ur mouth or else make a big mess. it's nice when the nori just rips apart, u know? we also had their green tea tenpura aisukuriimu. yum yum, but i dunno 'bout the mayonaise... it looked kewl but altered the taste 2 much in a not.so.good way. service is fine... what isn't fine is that annoying table of sorority chicks that sat next to us arguing 'bout who drank how many sapporos! that was so frickin' annoying! *sigh* i live right by this place, but i don't go there all that much. they have a sign in korean outside that proudly states they serve hweduhpbap, but i've never had it there. |
||
| Cafe de la Paz | Berkeley, CA | |
|
i've been here several times, but i never wrote a review cos
i felt that a restaurant like this deserves several visits b4
i
write a review. it's got a very nice menu w/ dishes from
divers latin american countries. they have some interesting
tapas. the menu seasonally changes. u can watch the chefs
cook thru the window to the kitchen.
altho' they have many delicious sounding dishes, even some of their simpler dishes are great! such is the case w/ their vegetable soup and corn bread. they always have such fresh, sweet corn in their dishes, including that soup. the soup is very substantial. it isn't as brothy as it sounds. it is full of vegetables. the corn bread is great w/ many whole kernals of corn embedded in it. llapingacho, i think it's called, is that potato cake stuff w/ fried plantains. it has a great orangish creme sauce on top. i've had this a couple of times, n' it's always good. the seafud dishes r good... paella... salmon salad... the paela has such beautiful shellfish. there r some beef dishes that sounds really appetizing, but i haven't tried them. service can be sorta spotty sometimes. on our last visit, the restaurant was not 2 bizzy, w/ 2 waitresses, but it took so long 4 them to realise that they had customers to seat. i even called them on my cell fon hoping they'd come to the front to answer the fon, but some1 answered from somewhere in the back. i don't get it. |

| Kirin | Berkeley, CA | |
|
i've been to kirin before, but i just went there last fri nite,
so i'm gonna write a review now. 1st off... judgin' a book
by its cover, kirin is a beautifully decorated place. it
fits right in w/ the solano ave. atmosphere, a place where
berkelyans can feel all cultured cos they can visit all
these asian ethnic restaurants on 1 street. erm, i hope
that didn't sound sarcastic. i'm not even sure if i meant
it sincerely or saracastically. whatever. neway, it's a
beautiful restauarant w/ nice ancestor paintings n' black
lacquer frames on the paintings n' on the mirrors. it's
got very contemporary / yuppy furnishings. that's what
makes it so solano. i guess if there were an asian
version of ikea, that store'd sell the kind'a stuff to
make ur condo/house look like kirin's dining room, right?
neway. it's nice.
kirin serves innovative, contemporary northern chinese dishes. no, it's not fusion cuisine! u know, there r contemporary chefs in asia who come up w/ fresh, new ideas 2! it's not like only american chefs come out w/ new ideas n' "old world" chefs r stuck in the 13th century or something. so it's modern chinese cuisine. that presents a problem to some chinese-americans, i think. they c a restaurant like kirin on solano w/ its nice wine racks n' yuppy atmosphere n' the immediately think: < neway, this whole dine.com thing's s'pposed to be 'bout the fud! 'member when ppl were real, n' restaurant reviews were 'bout the fud? man, all we restaurant critics have all become sellouts, man! we just talk 'bout all this image this, image that! frick! get back to the roots, what it's all 'bout! it's all 'bout the fud! so what did we order? salmon n' spinach fried egg rolls, s'pposedly "spicy" hunan style steamed fillet o' sole, shitake mushrooms n' bok choy, "spicy" dry fried chicken. the salmon n' spinach fried egg rolls were kewl! they had some shitake mushrooms in there 2. yummy stuff, i tell u. yummy, yummy. they cut them lengthwise so u can c 'xactly what's fillin' them. the shitake mushrooms n' bok choy dish was good 2. the shitake mushrooms had a very nice flavour; they weren't just plain mushrooms. they almost had some sort of smoked flavour. there wasn't as much bok choy in that dish as mushroom. maybe that's a good thing cos the mushrooms r the fancier component of the dish, i guess. k... the fish: yummy yummy, no doubt. i'm talkin' "yum yum fish, " yes. however, it's kind'a wierd... the more traditional way to eat a steamed fish is to serve the whole fish, not just a fillet. i'm used to cing a live fish being plucked out of the water, gasping 4 life, just to be killed to feed me n' my party, right? but this was a fillet o' sole. mmm, it was very good tho', i like. it had a pretty basic soy sauceish sauce w/ roasted red chilis, topped w/ green onions, n' cilantro. the dry fried chicken... k, kaela wanted to eat kkanpoongsaewoo. i thought kirin, being a "northern" chinese restaurant'd have something like kkanpoongsaewoo. i didn't c nething on the seafud menu that resembled it, so i figured some sort of fried chicken dish'd hit somewhere near the target. well, the fried chicken was okay... nice n' crispy, yet drowned in this brown sauce that had what appeared to be frozen cubed carrots. uh, the carrots were not impressive. the dish as a whole was okay, tho'. the restaurant served long grain bi fan. i thought they'd have short grain, but it's ok. i was there b4 n' had the desserts n' they're good. they coconut aisukuriimu atop fried bananas? yum. yah, go to kirin sometime. enjoy it 4 what it is, k? thank u. oh yah! kirin's a li'l pricier than ur avg chinese restaurant, but go there occasionally. |

| Sushi Village | Emeryville, CA | |
|
my gf and i went there late on a fri eve. i could tell it's more of a
lunch place, probably full of chiron employees during the workweek.
it's got a karaoke system w/ chinese n' english songs, if you're into
that sort of thing. well, we had sushi and i also ordered a chicken
teriyaki and sashimi combo. the teriyaki was well grilled 4 a hungry
person. yum, yum. it prob'ly wasn't the world's greatest teriyaki,
but i'm glad it wasn't oversaturated in sauce. the sashimi and
sushi were fresh, and my gf pointed out that they gave generous portions
of fish. i wasn't sure if they always do that or maybe because it was
the fri eve. i'll give them the benefit of the doubt: they give
generous portions of fish! sushi; we had: cali rolls, spicy tuna
temaki, spider roll, unagi, ebi, hamachi, toro... n' some others.
i've had better spider rolls @ kirala and other places, but it's
not the worst by far. i liked their spider roll better than party
sushi's; that's 4 sure. well, it's a good place to go on a fri nite
cos it's not crowded @ nite, wouldn'tchu say? so give it a try on
a fri eve, if you're tired of fighting crowds.

| Greens At Fort Mason | San Francisco, CA | |
|
i really don't think people should be dissin' greens. greens is a really
cool restaurant. yes, it's got a nice view and interesting artwork deco,
but it also has very good food. i know people have tried to diss the
service they got @ greens. i don't think greens provides the most
attentive service, but that's not always a negative.i do understand
tho' that it was kinda weird that we were randomly served by 1 of 3
different waitpersons. our main waiter didn't talk much, wasn't
overly friendly, but really! it was enough 4 me.
we got a beautiful bay/ocean view from our table.
i'm so glad that they gave us a nice view. i
did make reservations, and i would suggest you do.
even on a mon nite, it was very crowded. the
window looks out to the water over a bunch of
boats. You can see the golden gate bridge and the sf
fog. You can see marin county.
the room has a high, high ceiling, a very nouveau
feel; a classy nouveau feel. it's very sf. many
pieces of nature.inspired artwork are on display.
it's a classy place. i think, thogh a bit loud,
it's a good place for a innovative date. it's a
date location w/ personality. of course, it's
really a bit daunting as you pull your car up into
fort mason bldg. You think You're going to some
abandoned warehouse, but "alas!" as they say... i
got a li'l lost getting there. don't use yahoo!
maps 4 this place! u'll end up @ the wrong side
of fort mason.
well, let's get to the food! the menu changes
every day, although they have a consistent take.out
menu.
letme discuss what we had:
garden greens: lettuces w/ mango, avocado, n'
jalapeno vinaigrette. very good (~$8)
asparagus w/ porcini mushrooms n' a hard cheese
w/ a asianesque vinaigrette dressing. very, very
good. served warm. ($11.50)
brochettes on cherry/almond couscous: mushroom,
corn, potato, pepper, onion, pressed tofu. a thin,
vinegary, curryish sauce. more sour than i
expected, but very good. i enjoyed to bbq grill
taste. ($16)
rolled tube pasta w/ cherry n' pear tomatoes.
simple yet tasty. ($15)
peach/raspberry n' oolong sorbets w/ pistacchio
butter shortbread. yummy. i always thought that
there should be tea.flavoured sorbet! (~$7)
they have an extensive selection of domestic n'
imported wine. they have beer, juices, soft
drinks, cofee, n' a long list of tea drinks,
including chai.
i know some people complain about the prices @
greens. yah, it's a little expensive, but
really... let's say you've got a really hot date.
don't you think it's worth it?! this is real
food we're talking about!!! c'mon!
if you are vegetarian, vegan, or just like veggiefood,
you gotta give greens a try.

i remember dairy queen being more fun when i was a kid living in idaho
falls, idaho. i used to get the hot diggity dog kids' meal. it'd
come w/ a cool toy surprise, if i remember correctly. *sigh* those
were the days. anyway, this dairy queen is in downtown reno, near
all the casino hotels. it's okay. i had chicken strips n' fries;
greasy stuff. it was okay, not the best stuff i've had from a fast
food joint, but ok. the interesting thing is that they give you gravy
with your chicken strips n' fries. it's very white gravy. i thought
it'd be ranch dressing from looking @ it.

well, if i'm boardin' 0.5 day, maybe i'll get lunch. the funny
thing 'bout this mcdonald's is that it has this "make it bacon"
deal, where 50 cents gets u bacon on ne menu item. hrm... i always
wondered if i could get a mcflurry w/ bacon or 'least a filet.o.fish
sandwich w/ bacon. i wonder if that'd be tasty. someone ought to
try it out n' let me know. thank u.
(if i 'member correctly, this mc donald's lets u have free refills
on soda.)
