Step 1. Go to Chinese Embassy, get tourist visa to Beijing. Step 2. Take train to Beijing (get train with Russian sleepers and chinese kitchen) Step 3. Spend weekend in Beijing. Buy essentials as well as western packaged goods...

a Canadian, thinking what restauant etc. Now with Canada Day, ironic as it is and Canadians being from all over the world, no doubt many people of various cultures will frequent restaurants of all cuisines. While I am awake and...

IMO Kanamwan excels in their soups, most dishes after that are good. But the soups, my goodness they are good. Vieng Thai has many more great dishes but the soup doesn’t match Kanamwan. A sleeper way out in sugar land is...

You have some nice suggestions so far. I would add Wolfe’s in the Warehouse District in the Marriot Convention Center Hotel. It suffers from the hotel restaurant stigma, but is a sleeper in my opinion. Here is a report of a...

Hi Shelbyroo, Here’s a sleeper for you; one with the hands-down best beef ribs I’ve found in the western suburbs. It’s called The Station Bistro, a cute byo in Kimberton. They have their own smoker and have...

Thanks for the review. This is a "sleeper" chowhound favorite. I’ve enjoyed it several times. Reservations are generally required.....

Clancy’s or Cafe Adelaide (sleeper hit) And the private room in Stella is a real treat

Sandro’s is a sleeper. I’ve had reliably good meals at Sandro’s, and the service is always friendly. It isn’t incredibly ambitious food, but it is carefully prepared. In the same strip mall is Siamese, a...

is a sleeper but if you are near Leon there is a restaurant called Vivaldi that is a Michelin 1 star and just wonderful. We stayed in the paradors and found the restaurants lovely with so so food for the most part.

dinner really good. I read other review about lunch experience, seems like an off day for them.... I was amazed at food and service. a real sleeper in my book. nice watching them cook with that 900 degree oven too. -R

competitor Wildflower. Here are some sleepers that no one mentioned: Momiji in Siletz Bay right at the corner of 101 & 51st. This is a surprisingly good chinese restaurant that actually also has a sushi bar (I can’t vouch for...

Yeah, it’s a sleeper favorite of mine. It’s just a skip south of the quai de Montebello at 3 rue des Grands Degres. Cooking is vaguely Norman. Chef is Hugues Gournay, who’s inventive with desserts and highly...

Here’s a sleeper. Try The Globe in Venice. You can probably take over the whole restaurant at a reasonable cost. The Globe is the former 72 Market. It’s a nice space. Their San Fransisco branch is one of the coolest...

, but a good-sized portion and a nice counterpoint to the other stuff Chicken with lemongrass, curry, and chili: delicious! all white meat, very complex flavors Caramelized short ribs cooked in clay pot: the sleeper hit of the...

went to duane park in august and it’s great. the food is serious, the room is nice and low-key, and the service was solid. It’s what Zagat (gasp) might call a sleeper. definitely recommend it...
