I have had that happen to me in NYC and and in L.A. at Nate’n Al. It never happens when you eat there because they know you would raise hell. If you get a take-out you better look at the goods before you drive away. I have...

and a half away on Gayley Ave. is Thai House. Almost as good as NP, but nicer atmosphere (tablecloths, etc.) for a finer dining experience. (NP is very casual). Soup isn’t as good as Noodle Planet, but the other dishes are...

The Palm, The Grill on the ALLEY or Pacific Dining Car all do a above average job with high quality products. Having been to Taylor’s several times over the last twenty years, I think it’s all about the atmosphere and...

Heres the deal. I’m from NYC and moved to SD about 6 months ago. I had heard that the west coast had much better asian authentic(korean, thai, szechuan, cantonese, fujian, vietnamese) than does NYC. So next weekend my...

other diners stretching their necks to see what we had ordered. But, for me, the dish really worth daydreaming about was the Hamachi Torched Maki. Out of the ordinary maki rolls seem to be a specialty at Oishii. This delicious...

the cornstarch took over. My only previous experience with this dish was in a suburban strip mall in New Jersey about 10 year ago, and I’ll have to say the Tai Chi version really out-General-Tsoed the Jersey General...

I had a similar experience at Nonya the first week it opened and haven’t been back. I’ve held my tongue since, assuming from all the raves on this board that it was just me, or they hadn’t worked out the kinks...

Our party arrived at West at 7 pm, for the very tasty and appealing “East Meets West” dinner. We were warmly greeted by Tim Pittman’s team. (Throughout the evening, the West dining room team was wonderfully...

) and Roosevelt Blvd. As to what to try, shop with your nose. If it smells good, it probably tastes good; and, vice versa. It’s a village of sorts, with several hallways and byways in additon to the exterior promenade and...
