A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
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.
We went here on NYE, and they had a special set dinner. Overall, I enjoyed the food, especially the pre-appetizers.
The one thing that did stand out was the Pad Thai. It was very delicious. I also remember the prawns being good. Although next time I’d probably go here not before an event that requires you to not be full.
