Vulcan Thai Cafe – Oakland, CA
First of all, this place doesn’t really look like a restaurant to me at first glance. But sure enough, once you step up onto the patio and walk through the front doors you are greeted with an array of tables. I believe this is a family run business, as there were children present. We stopped [...]
Kabul – Sunnyvale, CA
The visit to Kabul was purely on a spontaneous whim, it is the first Afghan restaurant I have ever been to. Upon entry, the restaurant’s setup reminded me of a formal dining room out of history, it was nice, not too fancy, and dim. The lighting was kept very low, and most of the tables [...]
Gulzaar Halaal – San Jose, CA
With the International Kabob House still fresh in mind, I remained on the lookout for another tasty restaurant to sink my teeth into. When I first arrived with a friend to Gulzaar Halaal I noticed that there were a number of people seated at the small number of tables inside the shop. The gentleman (whom [...]
International Kabob House – San Jose, CA
Due to a craving for Mediterranean food, my friend and I visited this restaurant on Saturday for lunch. Although the restaurant was not crowded when we arrived, we were lured into the doors by the wonderful smell of kabobs roasting on the grill. We decided to order a couple appetizers to share (and more importantly to taste), [...]
Sushi Infinity – San Jose, CA
Yesterday (3/12/2010) my sister and I decided to try out a new A.U.C.E (all u can eat) sushi restaurant that I found. This restaurant appears to be affiliated with another sushi restaurant located in Mountain View that I have been to. Sushi Infinity has been open since September 2009, and I believe the sushi is [...]
Moongate Garden – Milpitas, CA
Ahh… Dim Sum. Savory delicious little bite sized noms. Consistently, Dim Sum ranks as one of my top favorite meal experiences. Not only are the delicacies extremely delicious, but the whole experience of watching the servers push around carts piled high with Chinese steaming baskets and yelling out their offerings reminds of my childhood. My [...]
Beque Korean Grill – Santa Clara, CA
Although I am not usually fond of the service I receive at this particular establishment, the side dishes and Galbee Tang lures me back. Overall the restaurant is very clean and has a trendy upbeat atmosphere. The most wonderful thing about the experience at Beque is probably the side dishes. There are variations on a [...]
Sitar Express – Cupertino, CA
This place is one my dad’s favorite Indian restaurants. The reason for this is mainly due to the fact that the food is not overly salty, it is flavored just right. The selections are a bit limited, but what do have is prepared well. Their tandoori chicken is juicy and tender, not at all dry [...]
Amato’s Cheesesteaks – San Jose, CA
Over the last couple years I have been looking for a good cheesesteak shop closer to home, and last night I believe I found one. It was recommended to me by a friend a couple weeks ago. Although I should have gotten my cheesesteak with peppers, I still enjoyed my sandwich immensely. The portion sizes [...]
Schweinshaxe – Home
When I think of German food, the first thing that comes to mind is the Schweinshaxe. The delicious pork shank roast that has juicy tender meat and a crispy crunchy skin. While I did not use a traditional German recipe, I made my first attempt at the Schweinshaxe using seasonings of my own choice and [...]
