Xanh

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.

Pho Tran Vu

Gotta say, I thought this place would be one I’d go back to, but likely not.

I ordered the “Grilled Pork, Egg Roll, Vermicelli” dish. The egg roll was good, but the pork itself seemed off (like it was soggy. I don’t think it was undercooked since it didn’t have any pink). Anyway, my stomach was a bit upset afterwards (and I’m blaming the pork).

New Mongolian BBQ

Walking on Castro street in Mountain view, we decided to try this place.

For the price ($16 for dinner), I think this place was worth it. They had the standard meat selection (beef, chicken, pork, and lamb). I thought the pork was a bit too fatty, but I guess most people would like that.

For the vegetables I thought the selection was decent (peppers, baby corn, mushrooms, carrots). For the carbs, they only had one noodle selection (I kinda wish they had a variety l, not just the thick noodles). They also had tofu, which I definitely enjoyed!

For the sauce, you want to do the house special mix (the original mix was ok, but not as good as the special).

It is also worth noting this place does not serve alcohol 🙁
