A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
For around $50, you get a really good complete meal with steak.
I got the house cut (cooked medium). The sauce with the steak was really good. The steak also comes with salad to start, and the waiter tosses it in front of you. For the sides, I got the corn and loaded baked potato. Very great compliments.
We paired the steaks with red wine (I believe it was a Cab). Great pairing.
Overall, need to go back to this place.
This is a great place to go to if you want some fast Udon.
First, for appetizers, the tempura is great. And special to this place is the crab tempura. It is a MUST to get. I also got the spicy tuna onigiri. Also great.
For the udon, I believe I got the Sanuki, and no complaints.
I’ve been here many times, but here’s the first post about it (and will likely get updated later).
This time around I got a “calorie-wise” dish, which was the “chicken pot pie”. Obviously, as you can see, it’s not a really chicken pot pie. However, it was pretty light, which is what I wanted.
Usually when I’m here I get the chicken marsala. The portion size is wayyy to large, so I usually eat half of it. (fyi, the San Jose sauce is better than the Palo Alto version).
And of course, As the name implies, I usually get a cheesecake. My go to is the chocolate chip cookie dough.
Second time I came here, it was a Friday during lent. So, I ended up getting the lobster shrimp burger. Definitely an awesome choice. The truffle Parmesan fries were good, but a bit too rich with all the other of I was having.
I also paired it with a drink (can’t quite remember the name, but similar to a White Russian).
A great dim sum place in The Palazzo hotel.
Everything pictured below, except the soup filled dumplings, were really good. And price wise, not bad.
Definitely a buffet to revisit. The king crab legs are one of the main features (not pictured). Also, they do have bottomless mimosas for an additional $22.
The buffet has food from all sorts of ethnicities (Japanese, Chinese/dim sum, American, Italian). Also, the desserts were good, notably the ice cream (and a coupe of other deserts that I can’t remember at the time of this writing).
Not pictured below are the crab legs. Definitely a must to get.
We tried out this place for a friend’s birthday.
For an appetizer, I got the Korean Fried Chicken on a waffle. I thought the chicken was good, but really didn’t care for the waffle. We also got the crispy fried potato, both the curry and onion and bacon. The latter actually tasted a lot better (wouldn’t get the curry again).
As for the main, I tried the all beef frankfurter. I would get it again.
For drinks, although this was a beer house, I stuck to drinking their pinot, with no complaints.
I’m surprised I haven’t posted about this place. Basically we usually go here for happy hour (Monday to Thursday, from 4:30 to 6:30).
For drinks, I usually get the lychee martini ($8 during happy hour).
For the appetizers themselves, I have to say the pot stickers are really good, and so are the wings. The garlic noodles are good (but some people I was with do not agree). The meatballs are ok, but definitely not as good as the potstickers.
Had a team lunch here, since it’s walkable from Apple Park.
For bar food, I found the prices slightly high. I ended up getting the fish and chips, which was pretty standard. I also had an old fashion to accompany it.
I wouldn’t mind coming back here, but definitely not a first choice for lunch.
Went here for brunch. What’s interesting about this place is that it is Korean.
I got the bulgogi bap, which of course I found great. I also had a side of bacon. What I should’ve got a side of (but tried from someone else) was millennium bacon. Mmmm. Also, tried the Korean fried chicken. Also great.
And what brunch would be complete without a mimosa? They did have bottomless, but opted to not do that mainly because of the previous night.
Overall, definitely coming back to this place. Maybe next time family style might be a better choice, since trying a variety of food made the experience that much better.
