| JJ's Mongolian BBQ & Chinese Cuisine | Rocklin, CA | |
|
Nothing to write home about. OK stuff with very little real flavor.
The Mongolian BBQ part is pretty lackluster. A real deal if you
like to eat alot, but not worth the visit. I didn't really get to
try the Chinese food, but will....it looked ok.

| Szechuan Garden Restaurant | Mountain View, CA | |
|
Place has obviously changed hands over the years. Food has stayed
reasonably consistent.....but has lost some of it's flavor
over the last few years. Still good, and a regular stop for me.

| Venita Rhea's | Rocklin, CA | |

Price range picked is for dinner....breakfast and lunch are
more in the $6-10 range....but you can order seafood stuff and
barbecue. They prepare a whole range of stuff, including prime
rib and bbq at dinner + seafood and chops and chicken. My wife said
that this was the best french toast she ever had!! Even the English
muffin was tasty! This is an informal setting, coffee shop style,
but with an Italian decor.
The food ingredients are obviously high quality...and prepared
with care and flair. If you go on Sat. mornings(around 8), there
is a car club that frequents this place, and you get a 'car show'
in the parking lot!! This is a great place to eat....I'll be back....with
friends.

| Cafe At Pottery World | Rocklin, CA | |
|
This is a 'sandwich' shop cafe in the Pottery World store. Just
the store decor makes for a unique setting. A little spot to take
a break from the shopping.....but a real surprise....the food
is very well done. It looks and tastes like the 'cook' is really
to be called 'chef'.....that good. Stop to eat, and do the store
as an extra.

| Loon Wah Restaurant | San Jose, CA | |

Another 'very good' Chinese restaurant! Right near the interesection
of Hwy. 85 and DeAnza Blvd. Dishes I've been exposed to have all
been above average in flavor. Was referred to this place by someone
who referred to it as her favorite place. Pricing is fair....service
good. I'll be back.

| Bcd Tofu Restaurant` | Santa Clara, CA | |
|
Price reflects lunch. Searching for good word for this place.....'delightful'
comes to mind! Cute little place across the ElCamino from Moonlite
Bowl.
'When you order you get like 10 side dishes! Good thing they have
decent sized tables! Foods and service is good. I'm not really
into real hot food, but the dishes I tried were very tasty. Short
ribs, and chicken were really flavorful, and of high quality.
Clean and bright place, worthy of future visits.

Reasonably priced, decent food. Nothing exceptional in my opinion...but
good in everything we tried, and was recommended by others for
being a good value with consistent quality across the menu. Simple
little place on El Camino and Bernardo.

| Bamboo Garden | Sunnyvale, CA | |
|
Real pleasant interior decor. Nice looks, nice service, and
good food. It's worth a visit, and it's not real busy since the
location isn't very visible.

| La Villa Deli | San Jose, CA | |
|
A landmark for locals who especially like ravioli's....but
then you still have to like the sauce. I did, but my wife didn't.
In general, the food here is very good, and the serving sizes are
more than adequate. Ravioli in the french bread bowl is still
the order of the day.

| Bombay Bistro | Roseville, CA | |
|
A lunch stop for they're buffet. One of the better one's in this
neigborhood. Will be back to chow down........

| Rock Bottom Brewery | Campbell, CA | |
|
Lunch time prices.....I don't drink beer, but have heard it's
good. They give away small sample glasses. It's in the back of
the Pruneyard....so, there is ample parking....but it does
get busy. Service is very good, and the food is fair to good.
The fish and chips, using salmon if unique! A good place to people
watch....enjoy.

| Andy's Bar-B-Q | Campbell, CA | |
|
Informal....I like this place. Above average food, at a fair
price. I especially like their pork......but their sauce is
what makes it. One of the better ones for barbecue around here.
Their beans are very good too.

| Sweet River Grill & Bar | Pleasanton, CA | |
|
Prices reflect lunch. Nice place at the entrance to the mall near
Macy's/Nordstrom. Mostly booths, noisy....reminds me of TGI
Fridays. Food is above average. Good hamburgers and sandwiches,
but fries were 'soggy'.....huge drinks. Worth returning to.

| Country Gourmet & | Sunnyvale, CA | |
|
I've been driving by this place for years and haven't stopped
because the Mtn. View branch of this place is plain, cold, with
a limited menu---and besides my food there was just average.
I think this place is much better! It's got a pretty large selection
for lunch. The food is fresh, tasty and relatively 'healthy'(at
least you can order that way). Most of the patrons are women, so
you know it's not a greasy spoon. I'll be back to try more of they're
dishes.

| Casa Isabel | Palo Alto, CA | |
|
Small family run restaurant. Food is a 6 on a scale of 0-10. Service
is usually very good and it's convenient for much of the local
industrial park.
|
||
| Southern Kitchen | San Jose, CA | |
|
This place serves breakfast(6am), lunch and dinner.
Small front with parking out back. Serves all types of food, but
specializes in Mexican dishes, and is excellent at it. Relleno's
excellent. Servings are rather large, but the food is really
good and so it's easy to eat more. Prices for seafood dinners run
between $10-15. Try this one.....it's a keeper.

| Golden Crown Restaurant | Santa Clara, CA | |
|
A small place near the pool hall. Food and service are above average.
Another Chinese restaurant to put on you list.
|
||
| Mision Rogelio | Roseville, CA | |
|
Nice place.....good service....OK food.....a bit pricey.....but
nothing, aside from decor, sets this place off as 'special'.
|

| Fung Lum | Campbell, CA | |
|
Most of the dishes are around $7-8. Food is tasty, and kind of on
the sweet side. All of the dishes I've tried are good....including
the weekend brunches, which start kind of late (11am). It's a
value at $12.95.........good place to "fill up."
Ornate building is starting to show it's age.....they're not
putting a lot of effort in maintaining the potentially striking
place.
