for the second time with the same stuff. So I resigned prematurely and filled up on siu mai, har gow, lo mai gai, shrimp cheong fun. The skin was generally a bit mushy, and the shrimp ever so slightly overcooked, but they were...

I was walking down Washington St. and noticed in the window of Village Food Land that a Japanese grocery store is coming soon. It is at 200 Washington St. (across from Station st.) where a Korean grocery store used to be.

Today’s lunch in the San Francisco series was a farewell to Harbor Village. After an initial error with losing our reservation, soon all was forgiven when the food started to appear. The food was better than I remembered it...

Have you been to Vail before? The Village of Vail does not allow cars (or very few cars), so getting around is all about either walking or taking the shuttle bus. You’ll have easy access to lots of options. I’ve been...

four offerings, we decided mid-meal to walk out!. All of the traditional dumplings tasted like they had been frozen and cooked in a microwave. The Har Gow, and Shui Mai‘s, and lobster dumplings’ consistancy was pasty,...

TDQ – you seem to be the gal in the know so I’m hoping you can answer this almost-related question about dim sum. I read the thread about your group experience at Mai Village a couple years ago. I wonder if you...

? Edit: here’s the thread where someone says that Bui is owned by the same family as Mai Village. Maybe you can call Mai Village? It’s a bit tacky to call one restaurant to ask about another, I suppose, but...

I’ve had that at Mai Village, although it was a few years ago. Afterwards I decided it would be easy to do at home and haven’t been out for that dish since.

Ditto Compass. Also: Perilla Crispo Punch Chow Bar Snack Taverna Nice Matin Orso Vice Versa O Mai Village By the way, the $35 prix fixe at Compass is available at all times, no need to go early.

If you’re looking for a good Vietnamese Dinner, check out Mai Village. The atmosphere is definately there – and the 7 course beef dinner is a great meal (and for about $17 – cheap!) It isn’t a Pho and Bahn...
